Configuring the List Indicator
The size of the List Indicator, font size, and border configuration
determine the maximum number of states. To increase or decrease
the number of states, resize the list. Configure the List Indicator
according to this table:
Field Meaning
Name Assign a name, up to 15 characters, to document the object for
printed reports. This increases the application’s size by 1 byte
per character.
Edit States Assign different values to the states. You can assign any unique
value from –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. See “Configuring
List Object States” in Chapter 9, Creating Objects, in the
PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows User
Manual for information on assigning state values.
Note: To minimize the size of the application file, use state
values that increment by one for each state. Do not configure
more states than you need.
Control Indicator State controls the state for this object. You can assign
a tag or expression to the Indicator State control.
When the PLC changes the control’s value, the terminal
highlights the state with the assigned value.
Note: If you do not assign this control, an error state occurs
when the object is displayed on the PanelView terminal. No
highlight bar appears on the list, alerting the operator to the
error state.
You can adjust the size of the List Indicator and format its
foreground color, background color, font style, border style, and
blink attributes. For details on formatting objects see “Changing
Object Appearance” in Chapter 9, Creating Objects, in the
PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows User
Manual.
