Recipe objects make it easy to make a large number of tag changes
with the push of a single button. Create Recipes with up to 99 entries,
and multiple sets of values. Then just push a button to load an entire set
of values into the group of recipe tags.
The Scroll Text object is available from the Text Category of the Object
List window. The Scroll Text object is an electronic version of a marquee.
It is similar to the Static Text Object. If the text in the object does not fit
in the window, it will scroll from right to left across the window. The Scroll
Text object does not require a Tag Name assignment. The Scroll Text
Object has a maximum character limit of 128 characters.
The Dynamic Bitmap object offers the ability to make an object using
two different Bitmap graphics that will display one graphic when the Tag
is On and a different graphic when the Tag is Off. Use your own bitmap
designs or use some of the bitmaps provided with the software that are
located in the User Graphic Library.
The Screen Change Pushbutton object is available from the Control
Category of the Object List window. The Screen Change Pushbutton
object is a pushbutton that can be configured to activate another screen
in the project. This object may be edited to various colors and sizes.
Users can configure the button to activate the Power-Up screen,
Forward Screen, Previous Screen, or any one of the project screens.
The Static Text object is used to display a Frame with a personalized
Message. This Frame and Message can be placed on any screen and
any location within the screen.
The Screen Selector object is available from the Control Category of
the Object List window. This object is an enhanced version of the
Screen Change pushbutton in that it offers many more features and
defaults with data from screens in the project. This helps to save time by
not having to create Screen change buttons for each screen. This object
may be edited to various colors and sizes.
The Lookup Text object is used to display a Frame with a personalized
Message. This Frame and Message can be placed on any screen and
any location within the screen. The object is always displayed like a sign
but is configured to display only the message prompted by an assigned
Tag Name. Messages are retrieved from a Message Database which is
configured by the user with text defined by the user. The Lookup Text
Object will scroll text up to 128 characters.
The Adjust Display Contrast object is used to allow the operator to
adjust the Panel Display Contrast. The default Display setting often
works in most applications, however lighting may vary based on the
location of each application. In these cases the operator can use this
object to make adjustments. The current display setting value will
appear on the top of the button and will change as the arrow keys are
pressed. This button can be modified to various sizes.
The Dynamic Text object is used to display text that is retrieved from
data stored in a Tag. The Tag Name is assigned to registers in the PLC
that contain set character data. The data can be stored in the PLC in
ASCII format and may include information such as machine numbers,
locations, part numbers, and such. The Message can be configured to
be visible (Trigger) when an associated Tag Name is On or Off. This
object can be placed on any screen and any location within the screen.
The Dynamic Text Object will scroll text up to 40 characters.
The Function object is used to assign the panels function key buttons
to a particular action as well as assigning the control of the LED On/Off
status. When a button has been assigned as a shift button, the then F1
through F5 will become F6 through F10. The Function Object buttons
will activate when the hardware button is pressed or when the object is
pressed on the screen. The object size is restricted so that the keys will
line up with the hardware function keys on the panel.
