I have an issue Im trying to overcome and I think im just over thinking it. Maybe you all could help.
Operation description....
1) Operator selects a material type from a control list selector on a FTview HMI. There are 30 possible selections for material for 20 different locations (think 20 control list selectors). The possible selections are STRING data.
I would like to display the STRING selection in a different area of the HMI. The issue is the control list selector outputs a numeric value that tells you the state, not the actual STRING.
Short of doing 400 COPY instructions there has to be an easier way to shift the STRING data for each selection to a string display right?
Thanks in advance!
