Set up Multistate push buttons
The Multistate push button displays—and allows an operator to cycle through—multiple
options consecutively. The Multistate push button displays the current state of a process or
operation by showing a different color, caption, or image to reflect different states.
Each time the operator presses the button, the tag changes to the value for the next state.
When the button is in its last state and the operator presses the button, the button returns to
its first state.
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 Multistate push button first

1. Double-click the Multistate push button.
