Control
(continued)
Displayed Value identifies the value to be displayed in the
numeric display. You can assign a tag or expression to this
control.
You can assign the same tag you assigned to the Keypad
Numeric Input control. Whatever value appears in this tag will
be displayed. However, if you are using the Enter Key Control
and Enter Key Handshake control, use a different PLC address
for the Displayed Value control. You should program your PLC
to read the value at the Keypad Numeric Input control and copy
it to the Displayed Value control. This will provide loop-back
confirmation for the value entered.
Define this control for all Decimal Point options.
Displayed Decimal Point Position indicates the position of the
decimal point. You can assign a tag or expression to this
control.
The value of this control determines the number of digits
displayed to the right of the decimal point.
Define this control if you specified the Decimal Point as PLC
Controlled.
Place successive Numeric Input Cursor Points any distance above,
below, or beside existing Numeric Input Cursor Points. Refer to the x
and y coordinates in the status bar to check that the cursor point
characters align properly. You can also use the Position dialog box to
place the Numeric Input Cursor Points at exact x,y coordinates.
When you create the screen, you will be able to see all the cursor
point characters. However, when you display the screen on a
PanelView terminal, only one cursor point character will be blinking
and highlighted. The display component is shown for all Numeric
Input Cursor Points.
You can assign an upper and lower limit to the Numeric Input Cursor
Point. These limits apply whether the value is entered using the Enter
key or using the Raise and Lower keys.
Note: If you assign the Optional Keypad Write Expression, the
Raise and Lower keys are disabled.
You can configure a display as part of the object to provide feedback
of the control’s value as it is changed by the cursor point input.
You can adjust the size of the Numeric Input Cursor Point and format
its foreground color, background color, font style, border style, fill
style, and blink 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.
