I didn't realize I could stack the indicators and have them show up based on visibility I will give that a shot. Archie is correct, I basically am trying to make a plant overview page on my HMI that would show the status of all of my machines. All of my machines have pre-built tags for their current HMI's showing the indices. We were looking at the master HMI showing whether a cell was in Auto, Manual, Gate Open, Cap Change, and maybe a couple other tags. This way we could look at the overview page and have an idea of whats faulted, being worked on, waiting, etc. I will give the stacking thing a shot. I am looking for about 5 colors. You guys are great at responding, I appreciate it.

Alright thanks for you support. I thought about adding the code to the PLC's but I am monitoring a lot of them, just thought it would be easier to do at the HMI level then changing 60 PLC's LOL. I appreciate all of your help.

Thanks. I am looking for an indicator that would change color based on several different PLC tags. So Green from a system running bit, Red from a system fault bit, yellow for a manual bit, etc..

Is there an indicator button that allows for more than 2 variables? I want to be able to monitor multiple parts of multiple machines, i.e. Safety Gate Open, Faulted, Running, Idle, etc.. I have tried using the basic indicator but have only been able to figure out how to monitor 2 tags at once. Any help would be appreciated.
