Set up Interlocked push buttons
Multiple Interlocked push buttons work together and share the same tag. Pressing one
button cancels another. Although Interlocked push buttons work as a group, you add them
to the display one at a time.
When the operator presses one of the Interlocked push buttons, the tag assigned to its
Value connection changes to one value. When the operator presses a different Interlocked
push button, the tag changes to another value. Assign the same tag to each button’s Value
connection.
You can also use a single Interlocked push button to send a value to a tag.
