So back at this again. Thanks for all the help so far, you guys are amazing. What I am looking to do here is make a some sort of object with multiple states. There are two main things I want to accomplish:
Number one: I want to have some kind of lamp/indicator that will show a specific graphic when a part of the system is OFF, another when the system is ON, and a third state when the that section of the system has an alarm present so that the operator knows exactly which station the alarm is at.
Number two: I have a glycol pump system that I have a startup/shutdown/idle sequence. I would like to make some kind of indicator that will let the operator know what part off the sequence the pump is in. I keep track of the sequence via an array of bits in the PLC so that one and only one bit can be on at any one time, and it includes a fault state that breaks it out of the sequence if any faults are detected.
How would I go about doing this?
EDIT: for the status indicator for each station with an alarm state, I was really thinking about placing an object directly on top of the state indicator, and having the alarm indicator invisible if there were to be no alarm present.
