Principle
This module allows the management of files of data
which have to be exchanged with the PLCs. A recipe file includes a large amount
of RECORDS (RECIPES) in which some FIELDS
(parameters of the recipe) will be downloaded to the PLC.
The data will be entered, modified and displayed through preset or
customized dialogs.
Secured procedures are used to write data blocks to the controllers, in order to
ensure data consistency.

Operation
 The selection of a graphic object within
mimic display, or of a cell within the spreadsheet will open the
dialog box,
from which it is possible to :
Select the recipe, the data of which will be
displayed on the screen and/or downloaded to the PLC (through a remote command
function
Modify, add or delete
recipes
Search records including a definite
field
The data files are
ASCII files with a
constant length for records and fields: it is thus possible to use programs
external to TOPKAPI such as spreadsheet, database manager, text editor, etc. for
the file generation or updating.
