Control Selectors
This chapter discusses:
•
the different types of Control Selectors
•
how to use Control Selectors
•
how to configure Control Selectors
Control Selectors allow operators to select items from a list. When
the application is running, the operator can move through the list
using the Up and Down Cursor buttons and select items.
The choice the operator makes is always indicated by the value of
the Selector Control.
There are three Control Selectors:
This Control Selector Does this
Control List Selector with Enter
Key Allows the operator to move through a list and select
a list item by pressing Enter.
Control List Selector without Enter
Key Allows the operator to move through a list. The
current list item is selected automatically.
Set Bit Cursor Point
(Keypad applications only) Points to a screen character and allows the operator
to select from a list or an array of objects.
Tip: You can position Control Selectors so they point at other
objects on the same screen. For example, a Control List Selector
could point at an adjacent list of Numeric Display objects. Values
entered using the selector could be directed (by the PLC program) to
the Displayed Value tag or expression of the numeric object being
displayed.
Control List Selectors consist of a list of entries. Consider each entry
in the Control List Selector as a state, where state 0 is the first entry
and state ‘n’ is the last entry.
Each state in the list corresponds to a value. This value is written to
the Selector Control.
