Is there a way to change the state of an EZTouch Panel Indicator Button from the PLC? I have an Indicator Button with Toggle Actuator Type that I want to change the state any time I input a Cycle Stop to the PLC. Right now I turn off the PLC output but the EZTouch Screen still indicates an ON state.

What ID tag are you using for the indicator? It should be the same as the output you are cycling.

The button and it's indicator are tagged C10. C10 toggles output Y5.

On the indicator button one ID is the button tag the other is the indicator tag. I would make the button tag c10 and the indicator tag Y5 .
