Character display 2

parts_displaystring2_001

Character Display 2 is a component that replaces the value received from the tag with a string previously defined in the custom property and displays it.

In the input tag (_TagIn), specify the tag to be displayed (the tag that will receive the comparison value with the custom property).

In addition to the input tag, by specifying a tag for fault identification in the fault identification tag (_TagFault), it is also possible to display a fault based on signals such as equipment abnormalities received from downstream.

Custom Properties

Tag configuration	Input Tags	_TagIn	Specify the tag path of the input tag.
	Fault Identification Tag	_TagFault	Specifies the tag path of the fault identification tag.
Display settings	caption	_Caption	Specify a caption.
	Value Text Color	_StatusTextColor	Specifies the display color of the string.
	Value Background Color	_StatusFillColor	Specifies the background color of the string.
	Caption Color	_CaptionColor	Specifies the color of the caption.
	Background Panel	_BackPanelColor	Specifies the color of the background panel.
Value Settings	Tag Value 1	_SelectValue	Set the comparison value with the input tag. It does not necessarily have to be a sequential number, you can also specify a string.
	Tag Value 2	_SelectValue2	Set the comparison value with the input tag (same as above).
	Tag Value 3	_SelectValue3	Set the comparison value with the input tag (same as above).
	Tag Value 4	_SelectValue4	Set the comparison value with the input tag (same as above).
	Tag Value 5	_SelectValue5	Set the comparison value with the input tag (same as above).
	Display character 1	_StatusString	Set the string to be replaced when the tag value is 1.
	Display character 2	_StatusString2	Set the string to be displayed as replacement when the tag value is 2.
	Display character 3	_StatusString3	Set the string to be replaced when the tag value is 3.
	Display character 4	_StatusString4	Set the string to be replaced when the tag value is 4.
	Display character 5	_StatusString5	Set the string to be replaced when the tag value is 5.
others	Display value	_Value	You can directly assign a display value to this property from a script.

Usage Example

1) Input tag specified/No fault identification tag

The tag value specified in the input tag is compared with the values defined in tag values 1 to 5, and the corresponding value is replaced with the display character that corresponds to the value.

When the tag value is 1, it is replaced with display character 1 and displayed.

If the quality flag of the input tag is BAD, a fault is displayed.

parts_displaystring2_002

The part will be framed in yellow and will flash.

2) Input tag specified/Fault identification tag

If you specify a fault identification tag, you can receive the fault status of the device via the tag. For example, if you can receive a fault status (such as a sensor abnormality) from the downstream side as a signal separate from the device's measurement value, you can specify the tag path of that signal as the fault identification tag to display the fault along with the state of the quality flag of the input tag.

parts_displaystring2_001

When the fault identification tag is False, it will display as normal based on the value received in the input tag.

parts_displaystring2_002

A fault is displayed when the fault identification tag is true or when the quality flag of the input tag is bad.

3) Assigning values via script

You can assign any comparison value from the script without specifying an input tag, and have it replaced with the display character and displayed.

If you want to assign a value directly from a script, do so to the "_Value" property.

If you assign a value directly from a script, you cannot use a fault identification tag.

For more information about scripts, see "Scripts".

4) Other customization examples

You can customize the following:

parts_displaystring2_003

When the tag value is 0, it is "ON" and when it is 1, it is "OFF".

Also, it changes to red when ON and green when OFF (bind setting).

For more information about binding, see "Binding".
