26.30.3 Mapped Addresses

Mapped addresses are addresses linked to a defined element. You can link each element of an enhanced recipe group to a mapped address. When you select a recipe or edit an element value, the value of the element is written to the mapped address. By assigning mapped addresses, you can edit and display element values without using enhanced recipe parts.

After using a mapped address to edit an element value, use a system variable to save the element value. Editing the mapped address value alone does not change the enhanced recipe on the display unit. If you transfer an enhanced recipe without saving the element value, the transfer includes the value before editing.

Updating mapped addresses and element values

When RecipeA is selected, the value in Element1 (100) is saved to the mapped address (D500); when Recipe B is selected, its Element1 value (300) is saved to the mapped address.

 

From the display unit, if you change RecipeB's element value and save this change, the value in the mapped address (D500) also changes.

 

If you edit the value in the mapped address (D500), the associated element value in the enhanced recipe does not change. Use the system variable #H_RecipeControlMapAddress to save the element value in the current enhanced recipe. Always save the element value with system variables before transferring enhanced recipes.
