FTVME Button color change based on state?

dginbuffalo · Mar 14, 2018

Hello- I have a project where I have 3 buttons that write a value to a register (off/man/auto equals 0/1/2). I want the current mode to highlight the button for that state (auto button green when in auto). I can't remember how to do this in FTVME? I'm duplicating the screen based off a Red Lion Graphite HMI and didn't have a problem doing it with the Red Lion Crimson software. Any help?

Configure it under the "States" tab in Pushbutton Properties.

There's only 2 states, I have 3 (0,1&2)

Use a Multistate Pushbutton.

Use multistate pushbutton, you can have up to 255 states.

Oops, too late.

If you want 3 separate buttons, use the "Interlocked" buttons. Each Button has a value to send to a common tag (0/1/2), and each button will change to the on state for its value.

Even better, use interlock type buttons.

Assign them each to write a unique value to your tag. They would all use the same tag.
