Replacing the Local
Message Object List In PanelBuilder 1400e software, the local message object list displays
from 2…24 message strings. Because the local message object list
function as a list, it is configured as a group, not individually.
FactoryTalk View ME software provides the local message display as a
replacement for the local message object list. Because the local
message display only allows you to assign a single tag to the object,
you will have to create multiple message displays and group them
together. For example, if the local message object list has four visible
messages, then you will need to create four local message displays
and group them together to achieve the same look.
Create Local Message Displays
Follow these steps to create local message displays.
1. Open the display with the
piloted control list selector.
2. Select Objects>Advanced>
Local Message Display and
draw the object.
•
The PanelBuilder 1400e
local message object list lets
you assign a tag to each
state (message) you define.
•
The FactoryTalk View ME
local message display lets
you assign only a single
indicator tag to the object.
You will need to create as
many local message
displays as there are visible
states (messages) in the
original local message
object list.
