Hope someone can lead me in the right direction.
Have a machine that has a compact logix plc and a maples 5071L HMI.
Machine is running fine but trying to figure out how to go on the maples HMI and create a object on the screen so that the operator would enter the text such as for example the word NAME.
Then in the plc if it sees the word NAME was entered then it would execute a certain section of code in the plc
I have experimented with creating a ASCII object on the HMI and creating a new Tag in the plc referenced as a string but not having much luck.
Would anyone have a example they could share?
Thanks
