FT View scroll list

bbargiel · Jan 4, 2018

Hello.

I have 130 Inputs in my application, so I would like to create a scroll list with 2 columns. Any ideas? I have FT View ME 7.0

Thanks.

Hi & welcome to the forum

The way I have achieved this before is to map each 16-bit input card (or output card)to an internal register (say a N register if using RSLogix500)and then use one display to show 16 multi-state indicators that are addressed to tag placeholders

This one display is then populated using parameter file(s).

Hope this make some sense - write back if you need more info.

Hi! Did you have some example?

Well, I don't really think that an example will help you understand what I mean. Sorry to be difficult.

Remembering that this site is about learning PLC's

Is there anything that you don't understand in what I posted? For example

Map a 16-bit input card to a N register - Can you do this?
Create a new display with 16 Multi state indicators with tag placeholders in the connections tab - Can you do this?
Create a Parameter file?
Call the new display from an existing display, etc?

If you can post something that you have done, then we might be able to guide you in the correct direction
