Set up piloted control list selectors
Piloted control list selectors allow an operator or remote device to scroll through a list of
states for a process and select one of the states. A highlight in the list shows the current
state.
Choose between piloted control list selectors and control list
selectors
Piloted control list selectors include the following features that control list selectors do
not:
 The states can be selected either by an operator, or remotely, for example by a
programmable controller, or by both an operator and a remote device. Individual states
can be turned off, to prevent them from being selected by either the operator or the
remote device.
Control list selectors do not allow states to be turned off.
 The state values of all of the items that are visible in the list can be written to the
Visible States connection when the list scrolls. The Visible States connection must be
a data-server tag that supports arrays. You cannot use an HMI tag.
Control list selectors have no Visible States connection.
 The state value of the item at the top of the list can be written to the Top Position
connection when the list scrolls.
Control list selectors have no Top Position connection.
How piloted control list selectors work at run time
A piloted control list selector can show several states at the same time, but only one state
can be selected at a time.
