I am using the 6 " EZtouch panel and the increment/decrement object to make a quick change to a setpoint value. (Sometimes the popup keypad is just not fast enough) I would like to be able to have it continue to increase or decrease the value if you continue to press the key and to increase the rate of change after the key is held for a few seconds. If I remember right the old Optimation EZtext panels had this capability. I am working on the simplest solution using a standard button object and several lines of PLC code, but am curious how many others have found a need for this and their solutions. It would be nice if this feature could be built into the EZtouch software/hardware in a future release.

If anyone knows how to get a button on the EZTouch to continue to increase a value I'd love to hear it. Its the biggest gripe about our most recent product that uses the EZTouch for human interface.

You are not alone. When the Eztouch first came out I was barking for this improvement.
What they gave us is what you have now an increment decrement button for one push.
I shure wish they would give scripting control so we can write scripts in a bit higher level language than that of plc. I did what you did wrote the plc code in the begining and when they released the upgrade for the eztouch I stuck with my code.
