Set up Maintained push buttons
Use the Maintained push button to change a setting in a machine or process. Maintained
push buttons are not useful for starting or stopping a machine or process.
When pressed the first time, the Maintained push button changes a tag to one value. When
pressed and released a second time, the button changes the tag to another value.
The error state
The button’s error state is shown at run time when:
 The Value connection is unassigned.
 The Indicator connection’s value does not match one of the state values you set up.
The error state is also shown when the display containing the Maintained push button first
opens, if the Value connection’s value does not match one of the state values you set up.
To set up a Maintained push button
1. Double-click the Maintained push button.
