CHAPTER 5 BUTTONS AND SWITCHES
Property Description
State The current state of the multi-state switch that you can view and set the object appearance
for.
State Type The state type of the monitored variable. There are two options: Value and LSB. For details,
see ?, ?.
Control Type Specifies the control type that the multi-state switch will perform as. There are three types
you can choose: Button, List, and Drop-down List. For details, see ?, ?.
Data Type The data type of the variables specified in this page. About data types, see ?, ?.
Write

Write
Address
Click this icon to bring up the Select Tag dialog box and select a tag for this property.
Total States Specifies the number of valid states that the monitored variable has.
Note: The last state is state N-1 when the Total States is N.
Specifies the method of calculating the next state for the Button control type.
+1
(Wrap) The next state is the current state plus one when the current state is not the last state. When
the current state is the last state, the next state is state 0.
-1 (Wrap) The next state is the current state minus one when the current state is not state 0. When the
current state is state 0, the next state is the last state.
Next
State
+1/-1
(Retreat) With this method, the switch is either in the increasing mode or in the decreasing mode for
the next state calculation. The switch is in the increasing mode initially.
Assume the total states of the switch is N. When the switch is in the increasing mode, the
next state is the current state plus one if the current state is not the last state, i.e. state N-1. If
the current state is the last state, the switch changes its mode to the decreasing mode and
the next state is the current state minus one, i.e. state N-2. When the switch is in the
decreasing mode, the next state is the current state minus one if the current state is not state
0. If the current state is state 0, the switch changes its mode to the increasing mode and the
next state is the current state plus one, i.e. state 1.
Specifies how the multi-state switch is activated for the Button control type.
Direct The multi-state switch is activated when the button is touched.
Activation
Indirect The multi-state switch is activated when it is selected and a function button on the same
screen with the operation of “Increase Value By One” or “Decrease Value y One” is touched.
