I'm developing an HMI for an AB PanelView Plus 700 that talks to a MicroLogix 1200.
I'm fairly new to HMI programming but I think I've mostly got the hang of the basics of FactoryTalk.
I need to be able to dynamically add a button (and link data to that button) to the HMI. Basically I want to have a button press one one display create a button on a different display linked with information inputted by the user to be used later. Is it as simple as setting a macro or does it require something else underneath the high level stuff?
I have a decent amount of coding experience in C and Python. And I have a way in Python that I can accomplish my goal here, but I'm having trouble getting something going with FT View as I just started using it recently. I'm lead to believe that a PanelView HMI can be programmed in VB. I haven't been able to figure a way to program the HMI in VB yet though. Is there a code guide or something out there that would set me in the right direction?
