Replacing the Numeric
Data Display Object List In PanelBuilder 1400e software, the numeric data display object list
displays a list of PLC values. The minimum width of the list depends
on the range of values you want to show. This object is retentive
because the scrolling list that controls it is retentive.
FactoryTalk View ME software provides the numeric display object as
an alternative to the numeric data display object list. Because the
numeric display only allows you to assign a single tag to the object,
you will have to create multiple displays and group them together. For
example, if the numeric data display object list has four visible PLC
values, then you will need to create four numeric displays and group
them together to achieve the same look.
Create Numeric Displays
Follow these steps to create numeric displays.
1. Open the display with the
piloted control list selector.
2. Select Objects>Numeric and
String>Numeric Display and
draw the object.
•
The PanelBuilder 1400e
numeric data display object
list lets you assign a tag for
each PLC value you want to
display.
•
The FactoryTalk View ME
numeric display lets you
assign only a single
indicator tag to the object.
You will need to create as
many numeric displays as
there are visible PLC values
in the original numeric data
display object list.
