I’ve got an application where I’m using a go to display button to pull up a screen to access motor setup functions for multiple motors. I’ve got my PLC program setup using UDTs for my motor commands & functions. I then setup my parameter file #1 to point to the UDT data type. Then if I’m looking at controlling MotorA, MotorB, MotorC or MotorD the parameter file points to that data type. The issue I have is I want to be able to have visibility capability to hide the control of one of the functions for only one of the motors but otherwise have full control of all motors.
For example, I would have start, stop, forward and reverse controls for all motors except MotorB. That motor I would only want forward control so I would only show the start and stop buttons and high the forward, reverse selector.
I think I want to force a bit on when I access the screen for MotorB which would enable the visibility but I can’t figure how to do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
