Rockwell Automation 2711E-ND1 Reference Manual PanelBuilder 1400e - Manual (Page 65)

59 Numerics
Publication 2711E-6.15 – November 1998
You can adjust the size of the Increment Value Button and format its
foreground color, background color, button margins (touch screen
applications only), border style, fill style, and blink attributes. If you
choose the Show Numeric Display option you can also format the
display’s font style and underline 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.
Note: If you use the Extra Large Font, the application will be
compatible only with PanelView Firmware Version 2 or later. The
application will not be compatible with earlier versions.
Note: If you use the Tiny Font or the Very Tiny Font, the
application will be compatible only with PanelView Version 5 or
later. The application will not be compatible with earlier versions.
Decrement Value Button (with or without Display)
When the operator presses the Decrement Value Button, the value of
the Button Control decreases by a specified integer or floating-point
amount.
Note: If you configure the Decrement Value Button for
floating-point values, the application will be compatible only with
PanelView Firmware Version 2 or later. The application will not be
compatible with earlier versions.
You can control the value range by assigning a lower limit to the
button. If the operator tries to decrement the Button Control below
the lower limit, an error message is displayed and the value is not
sent to the PLC.
You can choose to have the Decrement Value Button’s numeric value
displayed. You can place the Numeric Display component anywhere
on the screen.
Tip: If you want immediate indication of the value you are sending
to the PLC, use the button’s Numeric Display component instead of a
Numeric Data Display. This is especially important for DH+ and
ControlNet applications when Auto-Repeat is enabled. Since the
DH+ and ControlNet network response can be slow, you do not want
to overshoot the target value when the button is auto-repeating. The
Numeric Display component will show the last value sent to the
PLC. Use a separate Numeric Data Display object if you want to
feed back the value you have written.
