Setting up the auto-repeat function for selected keys

All of the key objects have similar features, except that the move left, move

right, move up, move down, page up and page down keys can be set up to

auto-repeat.

In the Timing tab, set up whether the key press repeats automatically when

the operator presses and holds down the key. You can also set up the rate, at

which the key repeats. For details, click Help.

Using the same set of keys with different graphic

objects

If a graphic display contains more than one control list selector, piloted

control list selector, display list selector, or trend, you can use one set of keys

to control all the objects. You do

n’t have to set up a separate set of keys for

each object.

To set up all the objects to use the same set of keys, create the key objects,

and then, in the General tab of each key’s Properties dialog box, select

Object with Focus for the Send press to option. For more information, click

The FactoryTalk View advanced objects have various functions. You can

create the following types of advanced objects, depending on the needs of

the application:



HMI tag alarm summary objects provide operator with a way to

monitor and respond to HMI tag alarm data.



Arrow objects track tag or expression values in a vertical or horizontal

path.



Control list selectors let an operator select from a list of states, and

write values associated with those states.



Piloted control list selectors have the same function as control list

selectors. However, they can be controlled directly by an operator, or

remotely by a device such as a programmable controller.



Tag labels

show information about a tag’s properties,

such as the

description, engineering units, and minimum and maximum values.



Display list selectors let an operator navigate between graphic

displays in a list.



Local message displays provide an operator with information, or

prompts about what to do next.



Recipe objects let an operator restore data from a recipe file to input

objects in a graphic display.



Time and date shows the current time and date.



Trends provide visual representations, or charts, of real-time or

historical data.

For information about creating:



An HMI tag alarm summary object, see Setting up HMI tag alarms on

page 217.



A trend object, see Setting up trends on page 601.

For details about setting up any of the advanced objects, click Help in the

object’s Properties dialog box.

Creating arrows

Use the Arrow tool

to create arrows that move based on a tag value or

the result of an expression. Arrows can move vertically or horizontally.

Vertical arrows move up or down, and horizontal arrows move left or right,

relation to a tag’s Low or High EU (Engineering Units).

For HMI tags, arrows can move in relation to the tag’s minimum and

maximum values, or values specified in the General tab of the Arrow

Properties dialog box. For data server tags, values must be specified in the

General tab.

For vertical arrows, if the value is less than or equal to the minimum value,

the arrow is at the bottom of its range. If the value is equal to or greater than

the maximum value, the arrow is at the top.

For horizontal arrows, if the value is less than or equal to the minimum

value, the arrow is at the left of its range. If the value is equal to or greater

than the maximum value, the arrow is at the right.

Creating tag labels

Use the Tag Label tool

to show different types of tag information at

run time.

In the Tag Label Properties dialog box, specify the tag associated with the

label, and the property to show. For details about options in the Properties

dialog box, click Help.

Creating time and date displays

A time and date display shows the current time and date. Use the Time and

Date Display tool

to create a box that shows the time and date in a

graphic display.

In the Time Date Display Properties dialog box, specify the appearance of

the object, and the format in which the time and date appear. For details

about options in the Properties dialog box, click Help.

Creating display list selectors

Use the Display List Selector tool

to create list of graphic displays in

the application, that operators can select from at run time.

To open a display, the operator can select the corresponding state, and then

press Enter.

In the Display List Selector Properties dialog box, assign displays to states.

For details about options in the Properties dialog box, click Help.

Tip: For network distributed applications, display list selectors

work with graphic displays located in the home area only.

For more information about the home area, see Working

with network distributed applications on page 125.

Setting up states for a display list selector

To set up the states for a display list selector, decide how many graphic

displays are to be in the list, and then, in the States tab, add that number of

states to the display list selector.

For each state, specify a display and its associated parameter file or

parameter list. Also specify a caption that identifies the display. This is what

the operator will see in the list at run time.

Use local message displays to provide an operator with information about a

process, or about what to do next, at run time.

For example, you might provide messages that describe the status of a device

whose condition cannot be represented graphically with accuracy, or to tell

the operator how to deal with a specific situation when it arises.

Setting up local messages

These are the tasks involved in setting up local messages:

1. In the Local Messages editor, create a local message file that contains

the messages to display, and the trigger values for these message.

2. In a graphic display, create a local message display that presents a

message when its Value tag or expression matches a trigger value in

the specified local message file.

You can use multiple local message display objects in a display, and link

each object to a different local message file. You can also use the same local

message file for multiple local message displays.

For more information about local messages, see the FactoryTalk View Site

Edition Help.

Trigger values cannot be zero

The trigger value for a local message can be any non-zero integer value

(positive or negative). Trigger values do not need to be contiguous, but they

must be unique for each message. For example, you could use trigger values

of 1, 2, and 3, or of 10, 20, and 30.

Because trigger values cannot be 0, if you use a digital HMI tag, you can

only use the value 1 to trigger a message.

If you use an analog tag or an expression, you can use any non-zero integer

or floating point value to trigger a message. Floating point values are

rounded to the nearest integer.

What is shown at run time

In the local message file, each message is associated with a trigger value.

When the local message display’s Value tag or expression matches the

trigger value, the message associated with the trigger is shown.

At run time, a local message display shows one message at a time.

Special cases are handled in the following ways:



If the Value tag or expression is unassigned, the local message display

is filled with question marks ( ? ).



The Value tag or expression is rounded to the nearest integer. If the

value does not match any of the trigger values in the message file, the

local message display is filled with question marks ( ? ).



If the message is too long to fit in the list, the last shown character is

replaced with an asterisk ( * ).



When the Value tag or expression’s value is 0, the local message

display is cleared.

Creating local message displays

Use the Local Message Display tool

to create an object that shows

predefined messages at run time.

In the Local Message Display Properties dialog box, specify the message

display’

s Value tag, and the related message file. For details about options in

the Properties dialog box, click Help.

Example: Setting up local messages

This example shows how to use local messages to notify the operator about

the status of a hoist.

1. Create an analog tag called Hoist_Status.

This tag points to an address in a programmable controller that is

linked to a sensor on the hoist.

When the hoist is

The tag’s value is

At bottom

Raising

Stopped between the top and bottom

Lowering

At top

2. In the Local Messages editor, create the following messages with five

trigger values, to match the values of the Hoist_Status tag:

Trigger value

Message

The hoist is ready to rise.

The hoist is raising the pallet.

The hoist has stopped.

The hoist is lowering the pallet.

The hoist is finished rising.

3. Save the message file with the name Hoist status.

4. In the Graphics editor, create a local message display object.

In the object’

s Properties dialog box, click the General tab, and then

select the Hoist status message file.

Creating graphic objects Chapter 17

Rockwell Automation Publication VIEWSE-UM006K-EN-E

487

6. Click the Connections tab, and then type Hoist_Status in the

Tag/Expression column.

At run time, when the operator views the graphic display containing the local

message display object, the status of the hoist is shown.

A recipe file supplies tag values for all the numeric and string input objects

in a graphic display. To determine which input objects receive which tag

values, the recipe file uses the index numbers assigned to the objects.

FactoryTalk View assigns index numbers to input objects and buttons as you

create them. To check the index number for an object, open its Properties

dialog box, and then check the number in the Tab index box.

For more information about index numbers, see Using index numbers to

navigate to objects in a display on page 528.

You can create a recipe file in the Recipes editor or, at run time, by

specifying a file name in the recipe object, and then saving values to that file.

Creating a recipe object

Use the Recipe tool

to create a recipe object in a graphic display, so

that an operator can restore or save recipe files at run time.

Rather than entering values one by one into input objects in the display, the

operator can use the recipe object to load recipes that provide values for all

the objects at once. The operator can also use the recipe object to write the

values to network devices.

Tip: Each graphic display can contain only one recipe object.

Restoring and saving recipe values at run time

At run time, an operator can restore values from a recipe file into input

objects and send those values to a network device or server.

The operator can also upload values from a network device or server into

input objects, and then save those values to a recipe file. If an upload fails

because of a communication error, the input object appears in outline form.

To use a recipe object in a graphic display, do one of the following:

Creating and

restoring recipes

Chapter 17 Creating graphic objects

488

Rockwell Automation Publication VIEWSE-UM006K-EN-E



Double-click the recipe object to open the Recipe dialog box, and then

save or restore the recipe file.



Press Ctrl+R to move to the object, and then press Enter to restore the

contents of the recipe file.



Press Ctrl+W to move to the object, and then press Enter to save the

recipe file.

If the display is set up to use the on-screen keyboard, selecting the recipe

object and pressing Enter opens the keyboard. To open the Recipe dialog

box, press Download in the on-screen keyboard.

To restore the values from a recipe file:

1. In the recipe object, type the name of the recipe file you want to

restore, and then press Enter.

Tip:

If you don’t know the name of the recipe file, just click in

the recipe object, and then press Enter.

2. In the Recipe dialog box, click Restore.

If you didn’t specify a recipe file name, select a recipe file

first, and

then click Restore.

You can also use the RecipeRestore command to restore values from a

recipe file. For details, see the FactoryTalk View Site Edition Help.

To download recipe values to a network device or server:

After restoring values from a recipe file to input objects in a display, to

download the values, press PgDn, or use the DownLoad or DownLoadAll

command.

Control list selectors let an operator scroll through a list of states for a

process and select one of the states. A highlight in the list shows the current

state.

Selecting states in a control list selector

A control list selector can show several states at the same time, but only one

state can be selected at a time. As the operator scrolls through the list, each

state is selected automatically.

To let the operator confirm the selection of a particular state before the

state’s value is written to the network device, include an Enter key with the

control list selector.

Using keys to scroll the list

When a piloted control list selector is operator controlled, it works with:



Key objects. These are graphic objects that duplicate the functions of

keyboard keys. Use them with touch-screen terminals.



The arrow keys and Enter key on a terminal’s keypad.



The arrow keys and Enter key on a keyboard.

The operator presses the keys to scroll up or down the list, or to make

selections from the list. The keys can be set up to work with the piloted

control list selector that has focus, or with a specific piloted control list

selector.

For more information about keys, see Using key objects to simulate keyboard

functions on page 480.

Setting the Value tag

At run time, the Value tag changes:



When the operator selects the next item in the list.



When the operator presses the Enter key, if the control list selector

requires that a selection be confirmed using the Enter key.



When another process changes the tag’s value in the network device.
