When you create a screen in PanelBuilder 1400e, all Set Bit Cursor
Point characters are visible. However, when you display the screen
on a PanelView terminal, only one Set Bit Cursor Point character is
visible and blinking.
Place successive Set Bit Cursor Points above, below, or beside
existing Set Bit Cursor Points (any distance apart). Refer to the x and
y coordinates in the status bar to make sure the Set Bit Cursor Points
line up. At runtime, if the Set Bit Cursor Points aren’t properly lined
up, the operator may not be able to navigate from point to point as
expected. There is no warning if the Set Bit Cursor Points do not line
up.
Example 1: Using Set Bit Cursor Points
To monitor all the motors on a conveyor belt, draw a line to represent the
belt, and place Set Bit Cursor Points pointing to each motor along the belt.
Program the PLC so that when you display this screen on a terminal you
can move the cursor to the desired motor and see its status in a Local
Message Display or Multistate Indicator.
