FactoryTalk View Studio - Machine Edition Version 7.00.00(CPR 9 SR 6)
PanelView Plus600
I have created a few small PanelView projects and often use the Animation feature to make certain objects visible or invisible. I notice that often when a display is opened in Runtime, that for a brief moment the object is sometime visible before disappearing when the conditions are such that the object should be invisible. I have two questions regarding this.
1. If the object is a Pushbutton, during the brief moment that it is visible (when it should be invisible), would pressing it during that brief moment of visibility cause the Pushbutton tag to be written to?
2. Are there any settings (either in FactoryTalk or the PanelView Plus configuration inbuilt Utility) that can allow a display to refresh before deciding to make objects visible or maybe to delay displaying objects that have visibility clauses attached to them?
Whilst the brief appearance of objects that should be invisible is irritating and makes the finished project look unprofessional, what is of more concern is that incorrect operation of a PLC program or PanelView Display navigation could occur. I understand that careful PLC programming should avert machinery disasters but would appreciate any advice about this issue,
Thanks
