Input fields (variables)
Values are assigned to the input field variables on the Touch Panel and stored.
Together, these values form one data record of the recipe.
Several data records can be created for one recipe. This enables the fruit juice
system, for example, to produce drinks of different kinds. It uses a different
data record for each drink:

then selected using this symbolic name on the Touch Panel.
