PLC control of LED button on C-More Micro
In the dialog for ‘PLC <-> Panel,’ we can control different functions of the HMI from the screen status words but is there a way to independently control the LED's on the Function keys from the PLC?
FYI: I am connected to a C-More Micro using a CLICK PLC.
You can control the LEDs by selecting the Object list, System, Function.
Drag that function to a screen.
Select the LED Tab
There the LED can be turned on or off by the button or the PLC.
If the PLC is selected, put in a tag name for the LED Control Word.
The LSB 0-4 will be F1 - F5.
It has been a long time since I used this, but I believe the tag needed to be Hex.
I used to make a routine that changed the hex value every 500 ms to make the LED's chase each other in different patterns to show status.
Outstanding! I appreciate this... 👊
