Button parameter, and the buttons on each panel are numerically addressed from
left to right. For example, to force the second pushbutton on an OL3850 panel to
turn on, you would use the Button On command and set the Button parameter
to 2.

NOTE: The buttons should already be set “alternate action.” For more
information, see “

Configuring operator panels

” on page 128

Parameters for this command include:

Button – Which button on the panel that will be forced on/off by the

The value of Button may be an Input/Memory/Output tag, a literal
numeric value, or some other logical expression that is evaluated every
time the block is executed.
