2. To add new .rcp or .emi files, click [File] [New].
3. Set the address range and select the data format.
4. Click [Add] to enter a description of the data type, and select a data format. When selecting [String], please enter the length (words) and select [ASCII] or [Unicode].
5. After setup, click [OK] to start editing recipe data.In this example, the total length of the data format is 13 words. Each 13-word set will be one set of recipe data.
   The first set: “product no.” = address 0, “Name” = address 1 ~ 10, “Store No.”= address 11, “Category” = address 12;
   The second set: “product no.” = address 13, “Name” = address 14 ~ 23, “Store No.”= address 24, “Category” = address 25;…and so on.

Note 
After editing recipe data, it can be saved as .rcp, .emi, or .csv files. The .rcp files can be downloaded to HMI using Utility Manager or external devices (USB drive or SD card). The .emi files can be saved directly to the external device, which is inserted into the HMI as extended memory (EM).

The transfer tab contains the settings for transferring records between the recipe database and designated destinations.

Bulk transfer
Transfer destinations of a record are consecutive addresses starting from the designated address.

Under this mode, the data type settings of destination addresses must follow those of the recipe items. The following table shows the bulk transfer result when LW-0 is designated as the starting address, given the settings in the following figure.

Transfer to individual addresses. The transfer destination of each item within a record is configured individually.

Under this mode, the data type setting of each destination address must also follow that of the corresponding recipe item. In the settings shown above, the data type of address 4x-1 should be 16-bit Signed, and 4x-100 should be 32-bit Signed, and so on.

Data The 
Data tab contains an editor for recipe content. Before recipe content can be edited in this tab, the data type of the items should be set in the Definition tab.

In the example shown above, the Recipe created in the Definition tab can be found. Items shown on the right-hand side come from item names added in the Definition tab. Data for each item name can be configured in this tab, following the data type defined in the Definition tab.

To define recipes according to the specified data type, click the  [Add] button above the record list to insert a new record and start editing each item. When you click on the item, the item’s data type will be shown under the record list. This helps users to fill in each item with the appropriate value. Click [OK] to confirm and save the records.
