Bit Lamp
The Bit Lamp Object is used as an indicator to represent the ON or OFF status of a bit or coil in the PLC, or a bit in the
HMI local memory (LB). If the bit is cleared (0, False), the State 0 Shape of the Bit Lamp will be displayed. If the bit is
set (1, True), the State 1 Shape of the Bit Lamp will be displayed. The Bit Lamp can also blink in various ways.
Word Lamp
The Word Lamp Object is used as an indicator to represent the value in a PLC register, or the value in a register in the
HMI local memory (LW). Creates a graphics object to reflect the current state of a multi-state PLC data register. It can
display a different shape or picture depending on the value in the register. If the value is 0, the first shape is
displayed, if the value is 1, the second shape is displayed, etc. A Word Lamp can display up to 256 different shapes
and text strings, corresponding to register values of 0 – 255.
