The Objects

Chapter 10

10-12

The Control List Selector with Enter consists of the following components:

List is a vertical list that can have up to 24 different items (12 with

double sized text). The operator presses the Up Cursor or Down Cursor
buttons to move the arrow indicator up and down through the list. When
the Enter button is pressed, the line to the right of the arrow highlights
and the PLC input address is updated.

Up Cursor (Decr Value) Button moves the arrow indicator up by one

list entry.

Down Cursor (Incr Value) Button moves the arrow indicator down by

one list entry.

Enter Button selects the desired option, and updates the PLC input

address.

If an address cannot accommodate the state entered, an error message is
displayed, and the PLC value is not changed. Clear the fault before
continuing.

IMPORTANT: The Control List Selector with Enter is a retentive object.
Your PanelView terminal will retain the current value for the Control List
Selector with Enter, even after you’ve turned the terminal off, or switched
to Configuration mode. You can change the preset value of this object.

Choose List in the Object Menu to configure the selector list.

Use Move to position your object on the screen.

Choose Width to specify how many characters you can fit on a line for
each state in the list.

Choose Number of States to define the height of the list. For single height
characters, you can have up to 24 states; for double height characters you
can have up to 12 states. If you include a border around your list you will
lose two single size or one double size entry.

Use the Edit Text and Move Text items to create the list of names. The list
is strictly for your information. The movement between screens is
determined by the screen numbers you have defined for the states.

Use Border to select a border type for your list. If you include a border,
you will lose two single size or one double size entry (state).

Use Buttons in the Object Menu to configure the Up Cursor, Down Cursor
and Enter buttons. To save screen space you can disable either the Up
Cursor or the Down Cursor button (but not both). A button that has been
disabled doesn’t appear on the screen.
