Hi all,
I'm new here and new to PLC's and Panelviews.
I have set up a panelview 1000 to run a machine at a Gyprock factory in which I work as an electrician. The problem I have is I have a screen where the operators push a function key (say F2) and then make a numerical entry. There are 5 of these functions on the one page (F2-F6) each allowing a different numerical entry for a different section of the machine.
In the graphics I have a small box yellow box with 'F2' in it so the operator knows which function key relates to which numerical entry. I would like to make that yellow box turn red when that function is selected.
I know how to make the colours change with the different states but I don't know how to make that bit change states at the same time as selecting the numerical entry via the 'F2' key. Basically, I want to make the F2 symbol/graphic turn from yellow to red at the same time aa allowing the numerical entry.
Hope this makes sense??!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Howard
