When you create unit modules for an application, you can define specific values for some types of unit class information (unit parameters and aliases).
| Unit Class | Parameter Name | Parameter Type | Values |
|---|---|---|---|
| BLENDER | CAPACITY | Floating Point | 1000 (default) |
| CLEAN | Boolean | true (default) | |
| COLOR | CAPACITY | Floating Point | 500 (default) |
You can make use of unit parameters in your control logic and in your recipes. For instance, you could use the CLEAN parameter to identify a blender that is clean and ready for use. Then, in a recipe, you could use the CLEAN parameter to select a clean tank to use in a batch. After being used for blending, the blender could be marked by the control logic as not clean (that is, CLEAN=false). We won't actually be using the unit parameters in this way in this tutorial, but you should be aware of their potential.
