compatibility level Numeric Input Cursor Points.
Decimal Point Position Address—opens an address definition
window.
This option is linked with the Format option in the Object menu. If
you chose PLC Controlled as the decimal point format for your
Numeric Input under Format, you must assign a Decimal Point
Position Address, a PLC input or output address. This three-bit
binary code indicates the number of digits to the right of the
decimal.
Enter Key Control Address
This address is linked to the Enter Key Handshake Address. They
are both described under Enter Key Handshake Address, below.
Enter Key Handshake Address
You can configure the Enter key with a handshake so the PLC
controller can acknowledge a value received from the terminal. To
do this, you must define two PLC addresses: the Enter Key Control
address and the Enter Key Handshake address.
When the operator presses the Enter key to send the value to the
PLC controller, the terminal sets the Enter Key Control address to
1 (after a 400 msec. delay).
Program your PLC to turn on the bit at the Enter Key Handshake
address, to inform the terminal that the handshake has been
received. When the terminal sees this bit on (receives
acknowledgement), it turns off the Enter Key Control bit.
