2. In the Local Messages editor, create the following messages with five trigger values,
to match the values of the Hoist_Status tag:
3. Save the message file with the name Hoist status.
4. In the Graphics editor, create a local message display object.
5. In the object’s Properties dialog box, click the General tab, and then select the Hoist
status message file.
6. Click the Connections tab, and then type Hoist_Status in the Tag/Expression column.
At run time, when the operator views the graphic display containing the local message
display object, the status of the hoist is shown.
Creating and restoring recipes
A recipe file supplies tag values for all the numeric and string input objects in a graphic
display. To determine which input objects receive which tag values, the recipe file uses the
index numbers assigned to the objects.
FactoryTalk View assigns index numbers to input objects and buttons as you create them.
To check the index number for an object, open its Properties dialog box, and then check
the number in the Tab index box.
For more information about index numbers, see “Using index numbers to navigate to
objects in a display” on page 18-15.
You can create a recipe file in the Recipes editor or, at run time, by specifying a file name
in the recipe object, and then saving values to that file.
Creating a recipe object
Use the Recipe tool to create a recipe object in a graphic display, so that an operator can
restore or save recipe files at run time.
