List Indicator displays a list of PLC states and highlights the current
state. The value of the PLC address determines the item that will be
highlighted in the list.
Set Value Button transfers a pre-defined value to the PLC controller via
the assigned PLC input address.
Increment Value Button increases the PLC input value each time the
button is pushed. If the button is held down the PLC input value
continues to increase to a pre-assigned upper limit.
Decrement Value Button decreases the value stored at a PLC input
address each time the button is pushed. If the button is held down the
PLC value continues to decrease to a pre-assigned bottom limit.
Numeric Data Display displays the current value of an assigned PLC
address (binary, BCD, or integer). Scaling (Y=Mx+b) and other options
can be used to display the number in appropriate units.
Text is used for screen titles, to provide instructions, or for any text that
is not bound to an object.
Lines (Horizontal, vertical and diagonal) are used to illustrate, and to
separate sections of screens.
Boxes are graphic objects like lines, which can surround other objects or
simply illustrate.
Arcs are used to illustrate quarter, semi, and three quarter circles, as
well as circles. They can also be used to connect line objects to form
rounded corners.
ISA Symbols (32 in total) allow you to assign display attributes to four
possible states for each symbol object. The symbols have two sizes:
large and small. See Appendix D, ISA Symbols, for symbol illustrations.
Bar Graphs can be used to monitor changing conditions, such as
temperature or fluid levels. Each graph can be up to 80 characters wide
and 24 characters high.
Time Display can be located anywhere on the screen.
Date Display can be located anywhere on the screen.
Screen Print Button allows an operator to print any screen currently
displayed on the PanelView terminal.
