Drop Down List Control
Are there currently any entry drop down list controls for C-More? One thing I use drop down lists for is to provide the ability to change I/O assignments in the field without having to actually make the change directly in the PLC code. The drop down list enforces the selection remains within range and format for the PLC I/O.
If not perhaps it can be requested.
We have done a similar project. A short summary of one function where the inputs are being selected from the C-more. An 8-point analog input where the operator can connect to, and select, (1) of (8) flow meters to control (1) of (8) pumps, (and any number of pumps can be controlled by the same flow meter, if they need more pump flow for that flow circuit). On the C-more, there are numeric entry objects. The numbers 1 thru 8 can be entered (although the PLC uses WX0 thru WX7). The PLC would have a MATH instruction, with Result of D1, and Expression of WX[V1-1]. (there was also scaling being done, and the scaling is also selected by the operator so they can connect various flow meters with different scaling). So, if "4" is selected on the HMI, then D1 holds the value of WX3, if "6" is selected on the HMI, then D1 holds the value of WX5.
