Is there a text field control?

[LukasD]

Hi again,

I’m trying to create a scheme page which should include setpoints for specific variables within the plc, however, I have no idea, if there is an option to use classic text input (textbox), which would allow the operator to edit the setpoints. Could you please help me out on how to achieve such a thing?

Thanks!

Are the variables in the PLC textual ?
Or what is it about? some kind of screen or documentation to understand?

Hi,
No, the variables are real/float and I would like to have a text field within scada scheme, which will forward it’s values to the plc. These network variables have their own custom addressing and the plc decides whether to take an internal value (plc constant), or network variable.

Hi,
You should add buttons on a scheme. When an operator clicks the button, a command dialog containing a text field is displayed. Set the Output channel property of the added buttons, and set proper button actions.

Hi Mikhail,

Honestly, did not think about this, but might be an approach!

Otherwise I will create a custom page with text fields, transferring data. Should work, shouldn’t it?

Thanks!

That’s technically possible if you are OK with JavaScript.
