What is the best way to show many comments on HMI

[Reinier]

Hello everybody,

 

I am a newbe, and this is my first post.

I am  somewhat  new in the world of programming, and still finding out how to do some things.

I am prgramming a A2S PLC with the mitsuishi HMI Got simple GS2107.

--

I am programming a selftest for a machine. The selftest is checking switches, sensors .

In a total of 46 textfield would be displayed, 1 textfield (or comment) for each sensor/switch.

--

What is the ragular way of programming this, what is the best way of doing this????

 

I I have for each sensor/switch a bit wich is set, and on the hmi I have for each bit(=sensor/switch)

a comment.

This results in a lot of textfields. wich can't be displayt in one screen.....

 

 

Thanks everybody!

Regards,

Reinier

I'm not familiar with the GS series and it's not an option on my version of GT designer 3 for me to look at, but if they have an alarm display this would probably be the best way. The size of the screen will determine how many rows of faults can be shown and will always show the most recent alarm at the top. It will only display the active alarms. 

[panic mode]

it's been a while since i have used this but you can use either alarms or message list.

Well, I solved it. I created a comment list and alarm list, these 2  'work together'.

The alarm-list on the screen does the rest.

I even set a language setting, works perfectly!
