A lamp switch is a component that displays the value received from a tag as a lamp.

It also has a switch function for ON/OFF operation, so in addition to using it as a simple lamp, it can also be used as both a lamp and a switch.

Tag configuration

Input Tags

_TagIn

Specify the tag path of the input tag.

Input Tag 2

_TagIn2

Specify the tag path of input tag 2. Used only for two-point input.

Output Tags

_TagOut

Specifies the tag path of the output tag.

Output Tag 2

_TagOut2

Specifies the tag path of output tag 2. Used only for two-point output.

Alarm Tag

_TagAlarmEx

Specify the tag path of the alarm tag.

Fault Identification Tag

_TagFault

Specifies the tag path of the fault identification tag.

Value/Switch Setting

ON value

_RaiseValue

Set the value that is considered to be ON. True is set by default (same as "1"). You can also set a value other than True according to the meaning of ON/OFF of the target signal. The value of this property will also be used for the ON value written to the tag by switch operation.

OFF value

_LowerValue

Set the value to be considered as OFF. False is set by default (equals "0"). You can also set a value other than False according to the meaning of ON/OFF of the target signal. The value of this property will also be used for the OFF value written to the tag by switch operation.

Detection Latency

_DiscrepancyTimeout

In the case of two-point input, if the input values of _TagIn and _TagIn2 remain in an inconsistent state for the period of time (milliseconds) specified here, the value will be displayed in the abnormal color (_AbnormalColor) (an inconsistent state would be, for example, if both _TagIn and _TagIn2 are True).

Switch Function

_SwitchEnable

Specifies whether or not to enable the switch function. The switch function will not be enabled just by specifying the output tag. This property must be enabled when operating as a switch.

Switch Type

_SwitchType

Select the switch type.

•A_SWITCH ・・・ON while pressed, OFF when released

•B_SWITCH ・・・OFF while pressed, ON when released

•ON_SWITCH ... Press to turn on output (OFF no output)

•OFF_SWITCH ... Press to turn OFF output (no ON output)

•ALTERNATE_SWITCH ... Each time you press it, the output switches between ON/OFF

Display settings

caption

_Caption

Specify a caption.

Caption 2

_Caption2

Specifies caption 2.

Lamp paint color

_LampFillColor

Specifies the initial display color of the lamp.

ON color

_LampOnColor

Specifies the ON display color of the lamp.

OFF color

_LampOffColor

Specifies the OFF display color of the lamp.

Alarm Color

_LampAlarmColor

Specifies the alarm display color. This is the display color when the alarm tag is True (different from the color when an error occurs).

Abnormal color

_LampAbnormalColor

Specifies the display color when an abnormality occurs. This will be the display color when an abnormal input value is detected (when the input value is inconsistent) (this is different from an alarm).

NULL color

_LampNullColor

Specifies the NULL display color. The NULL color is the lamp display color when no value has been obtained from the input tag (for example, immediately after the screen is displayed) or when a fault occurs.

Caption Color

_CaptionColor

Specify the color of the caption. For parts with captions on lamps, specifying @AutoColor will display the text in the color that best suits the fill color.

Caption Color 2

_CaptionColor2

Specifies the color of Caption 2. For parts with captions placed on lamps, specifying @AutoColor will display the text color that best suits the fill color.

Background Panel

_BackPanelColor

Specifies the color of the background panel.

Input assistance settings

Confirmation screen display

_IsConfirm

If enabled, a confirmation dialog will be displayed during operation. Note that if the switch type is A_SWITCH or B_SWITCH, the confirmation screen will not be displayed even if this property is enabled.

Confirmation message

_ConfirmMsg

Specify the confirmation message to be displayed on the confirmation screen.

Error Message

_ErrorMsg

Specifies the error message to be sent when a write error occurs.

Operation history output

_Log

If enabled, the operation history will be output when a value is written. If you want to output the operation history in a standard project that uses the standard framework, enable the operation history setting from the system administration settings screen. For details, see "Operation History Settings". If you want to output the operation history in an original project that does not use the standard framework, define Alarm server to record the operation history and set the root DefaultFireAlarm property appropriately.

Operation Message

_LogMsg

Specify the message to be output to the operation history.

Display value

_Value

You can directly assign a display value to this property from a script.

Switch Type

Output tag count

specification

A_SWITCH

One output

•When the switch is pressed, write _RalseValue to _TagOut.

•When the switch is released, write _LowerValue to _TagOut.

2-point output

•When the switch is pressed, write _RalseValue to _TagOut and _LowerValue to _TagOut2.

•When the switch is released, write _LowerValue to _TagOut and _RaiseValue to _TagOut2.

B_SWITCH

One output

•When the switch is pressed, write _LowerValue to _TagOut.

•When the switch is released, write _RaiseValue to _TagOut.

2-point output

•When the switch is pressed, write _LowerValue to _TagOut and _RaiseValue to _TagOut2.

•When the switch is released, write _RaiseValue to _TagOut and _LowerValue to _TagOut2.

ON_SWITCH

One output

•When the switch is pressed, _RalseValue is written to _TagOut.

2-point output

•When the switch is pressed, _RalseValue is written to _TagOut and _LowerValue is written to _TagOut2.

OFF_SWITCH

One output

•When the switch is pressed, _LowerValue is written to _TagOut.

2-point output

•When the switch is pressed, _LowerValue is written to _TagOut and _RaiseValue is written to _TagOut2.

ALTERNATE_SWITCH

One output

•When the switch is pressed, the inverted value of the input tag is written. When the input tag is ON, _LowerValue is written to _TagOut, and when the input tag is OFF, _RaiseValue is written to _TagOut.

2-point output

•When the switch is pressed, the inverted value of the input tag is written. When the input tag is ON, _LowerValue is written to _TagOut and _RaiseValue is written to _TagOut2. When the input tag is OFF, _RaiseValue is written to _TagOut and _LowerValue is written to _TagOut2.

When the input tag is an OFF value, the lamp display turns OFF.

When the input tag is ON, the lamp will turn ON.

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

When a fault is displayed, the fill will be NULL color, a yellow frame will be displayed and will flash.

When the input tag is an OFF value, the lamp display turns OFF.

When the input tag is ON, the lamp will turn ON.

When the quality flag of the input tag is BAD or the fault identification tag is True, a fault is displayed.

When a fault is displayed, the fill will be NULL color, a yellow frame will be displayed and will flash.

When the input tag is an OFF value, the lamp display turns OFF.

When the input tag is ON, the lamp will turn ON.

When the alarm tag is true, the lamp display will turn to the alarm color (default is blinking orange).

When a fault occurs, the fault is displayed.

If a fault and an alarm occur simultaneously, the fault indication takes priority.

If you are not using ON/OFF and alarms at the same time, for example if you want to display normal/abnormal only with the alarm signal, there is no need to use the alarm tag (_TagAlarmEx). In such cases, specify the tag path of the alarm signal in the input tag, and specify the color you want to display when an alarm occurs in the ON color (_LampOnColor) and the normal color in the OFF color (_LampOffColor).

When the input tag is OFF and input tag 2 is ON, the lamp display will be OFF.

When the input tag is ON and input tag 2 is OFF, the lamp display turns ON.

If the value of the Input Tag and Input Tag 2 remain inconsistent for the detection wait time (for example, when both Input Tag and Input Tag 2 are False), the lamp display will turn to the abnormality color (the fill will flash yellow by default).

In the case of one-point input, if the value of the input tag is different from either the ON value or the OFF value, the lamp display will change to the abnormal display color. In this case, the detection wait time is not applied and the display color will change immediately.

When you click on the lamp switch part, the inverted ON value/OFF value of the input tag is written to the output tag.

The currently set value on the left is OFF, so the ON value will be written.

As a result of the ON value being written to the output tag, the input tag became the ON value and the lamp display turned ON color.

When you click again, the OFF value is written to the output tag and the lamp display turns OFF.

If the same tag is used for both input and output, specify the same tag path for the input tag and output tag.

By setting the "FocusHover" property of the form to which the component is attached to True, a focus frame will be displayed when you move the mouse cursor over the component to be operated.

Switch operations are accepted even in an alarm or abnormal (conflicting) state. Switch operations are disabled in a fault state.

When you click the lamp switch part, the inverted ON value/OFF value of the input tag is written to the output tag and output tag 2.

The above is an OFF value, so the ON value is written to output tag and the OFF value is written to output tag 2.

The ON value was written to the output tag and the OFF value was written to output tag 2, causing the lamp display to turn ON.

If you click it again, the OFF value is written to the output tag and the ON value is written to output tag 2, and the lamp display turns OFF.

If Yes is selected in the dialog, the value will be written to the tag.

If you assign values directly from a script, you are limited to using it as a lamp component. You cannot use the switch function, alarm tag, or fault identification tag.
