Hi, can anyone help me?
I am new to Factorytalk, but I have used other SCADA before.
All I want to do is have setpoints on the panel which change values in the PLC. I can see "Numeric input enable" which appears to be a button allowing input of a tag, and "Numeric display" to display a tag. However there does not seem to be one object to do both which every other system I have used can do. The numeric input enable does not display the value only allow input and the numeric display is only display not input. Do I really have to put one of each on the screen for every setpoint I need?
The problem with this (apart from it taking twice as long as one object that can do both) is that there is a delay of about 2s between entering the amended value and the change appearing, which looks really bad. There must be a better way of doing it.
Thanks.
