  The Recipe Management Screen.
   
 
Recipes may be viewed, created or revised, according to the access granted the operator in the security section. Each recipe consists of four major components, the Recipe information at the top of the screen (general information), the Mill Settings section, the Command section (mixing procedures), and an ingredient section for each scale area. Classifications and Types are provided for expanded flexibility, and complete revision control and history is also provided. Mill settings control roll temperatures, gap and roll speeds. Mixer configuration provides for chamber volume entry.

Ingredients tabs (Carbon Black, Pigment, Oil, Weigh Belt and Minors) display the ingredient information for each scale area of the recipe. The Commands tab displays the mixing procedure steps for the recipe. Logic defines the usage of the process variables, Time, Temperature, and Power, as individual or as logical combinations (and, or) of conditions that must be met to proceed to the following step. Ram Pressure and Drive Speed can be controlled at each step of the recipe along with event confirmation (Confirm). Event confirmation requires the system to confirm the step has completed, an example of this would is the "Raise Ram" command would not complete until the "Ram UP" limit switch is reached.
