Creating Control List Selectors

Publication 2711-6.0

On Standard control lists, the operator moves a cursor to select an
item. On keypad terminals, the up

and down

arrow keys

are used to move the selection cursor. The currently selected item is
highlighted. The selection is sent to the controller immediately or
when Enter

key is pressed on the terminal.

Operator selects
control list item.

Terminal writes item value to controller.

On touch screen only terminals, you must place list keys on the
screen, enabling the operator to move the selection cursor through
the list. The Move Up and Move Down list keys look similar to the
up and down arrow keys on keypad terminals.

Piloted control lists can be controlled by the logic controller. To
select a control list item, the logic controller sets the control tag
value to 1 and writes the value of the item to a search tag address.
The PanelView terminal reads the search tag data and then highlights
the corresponding item on the control list. The terminal then writes
the same value to the control list write tag(s).

Controller writes value of list item
to search tag address.

Terminal reads the search tag data and
highlights the corresponding item on
the control list.

Terminal writes item value to control list write tag(s).
