67 Numerics
Publication 2711E-6.15 – November 1998
The Numeric Keypad Enable Button object calls up the Numeric
Keypad scratchpad. The operator enters a numeric value in the
scratchpad, to be sent to the PLC. If you assign the Optional Keypad
Write Expression, the PanelView terminal can perform a
mathematical calculation or logical operation on the value the
operator enters, and then send the result to the PLC.
While the Numeric Keypad scratchpad is on the screen, the Cancel
key, numeric keypad, backspace, decimal point, minus sign, and
Home/Arrow keys remain active. All other keys and buttons are
disabled.
The Numeric Keypad scratchpad is removed when:
•
the Cancel key is pressed
•
the screen changes
•
the operator moves the cursor to a Set Bit Cursor Point
•
the terminal is switched to configure mode and then back to run
mode
The Numeric Keypad scratchpad can display up to 16 digits. The
decimal point and minus sign use one digit each.
Note: The Numeric Keypad scratchpad appears over the top
60 pixels of the screen. Keep this in mind before you place objects in
this area.
Important: For Remote I/O applications, and ControlNet Scheduled
tags, the PanelView terminal can retain the current
values for the object’s controls, even after the terminal
is turned off. Depending on how the Application
Startup operation is defined, the retained value (last
state) or initial value (default) is sent to the PLC when
power is reapplied.
For DH+ applications, ControlNet Unscheduled tags,
and Modbus applications, the current value cannot be
retained. Depending on how the Application Startup
operation is defined, the initial value or nothing
(default) is sent to the PLC when power is applied.
For details on configuring Application Startup
operation, see “Application Startup” in Chapter 5 of the
PanelView 1000e, 1200e, and 1400e Operator
Terminals User Manual.
