Bit-based Objects
The MAPware-7000 software provides many options for displaying and writing to bit/coil
registers. Bit/coil registers are two state registers that are used to represent an ‘On*1+’ and
‘Off*0+’ condition. Bit registers often display lamps or buttons that control a target bit.
Display Only
Bit Lamp
Bit lamps indicate the current state of a bit register using a graphic image (i.e. lamp) or text (i.e.
ON/OFF). When a bit lamp is on a screen that is currently displayed on the HMC, the HMC
continuously polls the target bit register to determine which state image to display.
