ihateme2 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 Hello, I’m using a RedLion G308C100 HMI. Crimson V3 software. This is my first go around with Redlion and so far up till now its been pretty good. My issue is trying to use my 1 hmi to pull information off a number of different Well sites. The hmi will be monitoring a "data matrix" so to speak, I will have only 1 screen displaying well data, and one master well screen with multiple buttons or such to choose witch Well out of 16 it will be pulling data from. I’m trying to find a way so if i choose well 1 it will go to the well screen and display info on well one, and if I choose well 2 it will used the same well screen/page "as before, only want 1 well screen" but change the tags to the info on well 2. All this information will have the same Labels just different data. Is there a way to do a +8 method? Push a button and it bumps each tag address up 8? Another question is it possible to link buttons together on a redlion so when you press one button it actually presses them all at once? Quote
Crossbow Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 I've done all of this with Mitsubishi GOT1000, but have no experience with Red Lion. On the GOT I can simply define an offset field. So I made a data table screen which has 30 registers on it, say D0-D29. Then I made a button which puts 100 in the offset, and now the same screen looks at D100-D129. And with the multi-action switch, I can make one button do over 120 things. I know that's not much help, but I would expect them to have similar features... Quote
Chris Elston Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Well.. I dunno if this HELPs or not. But can you create a PROGRAM? Then script what you want to do? Then assign a button to run your program? Kindalike this? Quote
JeffKiper Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 There are several ways to do this. What communication platform are you using and what protocol? this will help us make it easy Quote
