Variable-Sized Bar Template – Control Definitions Tab with Button Control
The Variable-Sized Bar Templates - Control Definitions Tab dialog box with button control is
shown below.
The Variable-Sized Bar Template - Control Definitions Tab dialog box with button control defines
the control buttons on your PanelMate unit. If a control button is defined, a small arrow will display in
the lower left corner of the template to indicate to the operator that a control function is available.
When a control button is pressed, the PanelMate unit sends a command to the PLC to set the referenced
bit (e.g., [120 00]) to 1. When the button is released, a separate command is sent to set the bit to 0, thus
providing a momentary input to the PLC. If a maintained input is desired, the bit may be latched in
PLC logic.
The fields in the Variable-Sized Bar Template - Control Definitions Tab dialog box with button
control are described below.
