Oh alrighty then. This should get interesting.
Using FTV ME 8. ( PLC l33er , hmi plus 7)
I have a list of error codes E 01 thru E whatever.
My Idea was to navigate to screen 8 ( Error code diagnostics????) in the center of the screen is a input display, touch, and a alpha numeric screen pops.
What I would like to happen is the operator enters the error code (E whatever) and a splash or pop out comes up with the codes description and possible causes.
I have read over macros, global's, doesn't seem like those will work ( unless I am reading too much into them ).
(yes i RTFM)
I would assume the pop ups are stored in the HMI and could be call from the PLC.
It seems like it is going to be a little more multi-dimensional than I am used too (YEA!!)
Any small direction would be of service.
Thank you for the time and attention to this
