Type Description
Cursor Indicator to PLC Value Read and
Write When a display that includes a piloted control list selector is opened and the
operator has control of the list, the application reads the Value connection to
determine what state to select. When the operator selects a valid state, the
state's value is written to the Value connection. The application does not read
the Value connection at any other time.
If the list is remotely controlled, you do not need to assign the Value
connection. The remote controller uses the Indicator connection to select a
state. If the Value connection is assigned, the value of the selected state is
written to the Value connection.
If the Write on enter checkbox is checked (on the General tab), the application
does not write to the Value connection until the operator selects a state and
presses Enter.
If the Write on enter checkbox is not checked (on the General tab), the
application writes to the Value connection as soon as a state is selected. The
Enter and Enter Handshake controls are ignored.
Cursor Control
from PLC Indicator Read When the list is remotely controlled, this connection is used to select a state in
the list.
Enable PLC to Controlled
List Remote Access Read This connection determines whether the operator or a remote
controller selects states in the list. If you assign a tag or an expression
to this connection, the object is remotely controlled. The object is
remotely controlled if the tag or expression is assigned to a nonzero
value.
If you do not assign this connection or if the connection is assigned
and set to a value of 0, the object is controlled by the operator.
Top Position to PLC Top Position Write When the list scrolls, the value of the top visible state in the list is written to
the Top Position tag.
