Changes the current group to a different group. You may select from the dropdown menu or manually type in the name of the group.

You may change the data name and setting values by double-clicking on each item.

Saves modified group data in a recipe file (*.rcx). This command is the same as RcpFileStore().

Quits from the recipe dialog box.

Reads data from the PLC and saves it in recipe model group data. This command is the same as RcpMemUp().

Sends recipe model group data to the PLC. This command is the same as RcpMemDownload().

You can browse the CSV file to retrieve model group data. This command is the same as RcpCsvRd().

You can save the current model group data as a CSV file. This command is the same as RcpCsvWr().

If the ‘Replace Groupname’ box is checked when the ‘CSV Read’ button is pressed, then the selected group name will be replaced with the name of the CSV file to be read.  

Enter the command to display the recipe dialog box.
RcpConfig();

Reads recipe model group data (*.csv file) and saves it in the memory.

RcpCsvRd(“Model Name”, “CSV File Name”, CSV file directory)

Replaces group data with specified CSV file data. Assign CSV file directory as shown in the table below.  

Xpanel internal memory

SD/MMC

USB

Enter the command to read ‘Recipe.CSV’ file data stored in the USB and save it to the Xpanel recipe file.

RcpCsvRd("ICECREAM", "Recipe", 2);

Saves model group data in the memory as a CSV file format.

RcpCsvWr(“Model Name”, “CSV File Name”, CSV file directory)

Saves the current group data as a CSV file format with a specified file name. Assign CSV file directory as shown in the table below.

Xpanel internal memory

SD/MMC

USB

Enter the command to save the ‘ICECREAM’ group data as a CSV file format. The file name will be designated as ‘Recipe.csv’ and will be saved in the SD/MMC memory card.

RcpCsvWr("ICECREAM", "Recipe", 1);

RcpFileRead(“ICECREAM”, 1);

Saves the model group data in the recipe file.

RcpFileStore(“Model Name”, Group Number)

Saves the specified group data in the recipe data file. This subroutine is the same as the ‘Save’ button of the recipe dialog box.

Enter the command to save the first group data of the ‘ICECREAM’ model to the recipe data file.

RcpFileStore (“ICECREAM”, 1);

Copies one block of system memory to Xpanel memory.

RcpGetSysMem(“Model Name”, System memory address)

Enter the command to retrieve ‘ICECREAM’ model data from system memory No. 100.

RcpGetSysMem(“ICECREAM”, 100);

Downloads the model group data from Xpanel to PLC.

RcpMemDown(“Model Name”)

Transfers the model group data from Xpanel to the PLC. The group data must be stored in the Xpanel before using this subroutine.

Enter the command to download group data of ‘ICECREAM’ from Xpanel to the PLC.

RcpMemDown (“ICECREAM”);

Receives the data from PLC and saves at the model group data in Xpanel.

If using the RcpUpLoad/RcpDownload command consecutively, the latter command will override the former command. To use these commands subsequently, set enough intervals between operations of the two subroutines.

Ex)
RcpDownLoad(“ICECREAM”, 0);

Sleep(1000);

RcpDownLoad(“ICECREAM”, 1);
