Hello Everyone!
I need HELP!! programming the INVIEW. This is harder than I thought it would be and it doesnt help if you dont have the Inview to play around with. I have to write a program and download it on a live Inview display screen so I want to make sure I get this right. AB support can get frustrating so I'm counting on you guys.
My Inview is a 2706-P72C, I have the Inview messaging software(IMS)and my PLC is SLC 5/04 using DH+
I want to be able to have 4 conditions to display on the Inview using the 2 counting variables for all 4 conditions. Those variables will be pulled from a variable data address(N10:1, N10:2) in the PLC and its base on a bottles per minute rate so...resolution for update will be high.
On the Inview Messaging Software(IMS), the variable data address will be inserted in {None:1} and {None:2} The 4 conditions being displayed will be base on {None:1} or {None:2} meeting production goal or below production goal.
My Inview would display 4 different message conditions:
1.) If ({None:1} and {None:2}) >= (GOAL), then display in both in
green
2.) If {None:1} < (GOAL) and {None:2} >= (GOAL), then display 1
in red, 2 in green.
3.) If {None:1} >= (GOAL) and {None:2} < (GOAL), then display 1
in green, 2 in red.
4.) If ({None:1} and {None:2}) < (GOAL), then display both in
red.
Message Logic display example:
OO
OX
XO
XX
My questions are:
1.) How do you write these conditions in a syntax string in the ST file? I know it would look somthing like ^V[N10:1]\\1^M, but thats only updating the one of two variables in message #1. You see where im getting confuse?
2.) In the PLC, how do you write the logic to trigger this message string and updating fairly fast to show in Inview? I know I have to use the AWT and the control bit R6:0.
I hope this is clear enough for you guys...Thanks in advance.
I attached the .IVP file to show how I want my display to look like.
