Recipe Upload Request#
This task implements Recipe Upload Requests from the MES system. When triggered, it subscribes to the configured system event subject, receives an upload request from the MES, retrieves the corresponding recipe details (name, body, and format) from the MES, and emits them as outputs for downstream processing.
Workflows#
| Data Flow | Control Flow |
|---|---|
Inputs#
| Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enable/Disable | Boolean | Activates or deactivates the event listener. Defaults to true (enabled). |
| Subject | String | The system event subject to subscribe to for recipe upload requests. |
| Reply Timeout (ms) | Integer | Maximum time (in milliseconds) to wait for a reply before timing out. |
Outputs#
| Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Recipe Name | String | The name of the recipe requested for upload to the equipment. |
| Body | Any | The recipe body content (text or binary) to be sent to the equipment. |
| IsBinary | Boolean | Indicates whether the recipe body is in binary format. |
| Success | Boolean | Triggered when a recipe upload request is successfully received. |
| Error | Error | Triggered when the task fails for some reason. |
Settings#
On the General tab, you have the usual settings and the following settings:
| Name | Data Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auto Enable | Boolean | true | Automatically activates the event listener when the task is initialized. |
| Reply Timeout (ms) | Integer | 60000 | Amount of time (in milliseconds) allowed to wait for a reply before issuing a timeout. |
| Recipe Upload Request | String | RecipeManagement.UploadRecipe | Subject used to communicate with the MES for recipe upload requests. This field is read-only. |
Behavior#
This task listens for Recipe Upload Requests from the MES and emits the Recipe details as outputs for downstream processing by an IoT Workflow to upload the recipe to the equipment.
It supports two execution modes:
- Data Flow: Emits
Recipe Name,Body, andIsBinaryoutputs so that a downstream Send Recipe Upload Reply task can send the result back to the MES. A timeout is enforced while waiting for the reply. - Control Flow: Runs a single attached branch each time a request is received, passing the recipe data as output properties. The branch has a configurable timeout.
Remarks#
This task uses a context-based data structure called a zone. For more information, see Zones page.
In Data Flow mode, pair this task with the Send Recipe Upload Reply task to complete the request/reply cycle.
In Control Flow mode, the task must have exactly one branch configured.
