Support Questions / text box to string

« on: July 14, 2014, 05:43:13 PM »

Hi!

I think my question might be answered by the basic label manual. I can't download it anymore by going to my account? it shows I have 2 downloads left.

anyway, my question is pretty basic. I want to have a text field that can have text entered into it....and it will be stored in a string (say, ST9:0 ) on my micrologix 1100.

how would I go about doing this?


Also, I saw a really great little video demo on here where a gent had integrated a password into his program. How would I start with doing this.

I really appreciate your time, and I love this program so far......I just wish there was a beginners manual for it!

Support Questions / Color change on click

« on: July 08, 2014, 11:49:39 AM »

Hey Guys,

I bought the basic label manual and the button/meter pack, and I see how to add code to change the color of text etc. based on a value, but what would I use to change a button color
based on whether or not it has been clicked/the value of the bit in the plc. (the value of the bit in the plc would be better).

I just want a button to show the state basically.

Hey guys,

I am completely new to PLC in the last few months. I am trying to setup this HMI and having some issues.

I am using a micrologix 1100 and rslogix 500.

I have some inputs I am trying to make into buttons on the HMI.

I have an e-stop and a power on switch. how would I enter the addresses for these into the HMI?

Is there a manual for this?

your help is very appreciated, and if you need any more info from me I will provide it!
