Select Switch

parts_selectswitch1_001

The select switch is a component that writes the selected value (numeric value) by pressing a button to a tag.

Specify the tag to be input as the input tag (_TagIn) and the tag to be output as the output tag (_TagOut). The value of the input tag will be the initial display, and thereafter the display will be dynamically updated whenever the value changes.

It is possible to specify the combination of the input tag value and the status display string that corresponds to the input value in the property. The input value does not necessarily have to be a sequential number, and can be set to any value.

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.

Usage Example

1) Status display frame/No confirmation button

This is an example of a part with a status display frame but no Confirm button. Because there is no Confirm button, the selected value is written to a tag by selecting it with the button.

_TagIn: Specify the tag path of the input tag

_TagOut: Specify the tag path of the output tag.

_TagFault...optional

parts_selectswitch1_001

The current selection is displayed in the status pane.

Clicking a selection button writes the value corresponding to the button to an output tag.

Here, try clicking the "Sel2" button.

parts_selectswitch1_002

The value of Sel2 is written to the output tag and the status display frame changes to Sel2.

parts_selectswitch1_003

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, a yellow frame will be displayed and blinking, and switch operation will be disabled.

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.

2) Status display frame/Confirm button

This is an example of a part with a status display frame and a Confirm button. After selecting with the Select button, the selected value is written to a tag by pressing the Confirm button.

_TagIn: Specify the tag path of the input tag

_TagOut: Specify the tag path of the output tag.

_TagFault...optional

parts_selectswitch1_004

The current selection is displayed in the status pane.

Clicking a selection button writes the value corresponding to the button to an output tag.
