Bit (Binary) Text Variable

This type of variable displays a different text message on the controller's LCD screen according to the status of a bit operand.

Inserting and Defining the Variable 

1. Click on the variable in the Variable toolbar, then click on the HMI screen and drag your cursor to create a field for the display of the variable data.

2. Release the mouse button; a dialog box opens, enabling you to define the source of the variable data.

3. Link a bit operand, and enter text for both bit states.

Color Vision series also offer a Switch property. Selecting Switch assigns an MB and built in Touch property to a binary variable. Touching the variable toggles the image or text displayed.
