Inserting a Variable into a Display

To show variable data:

1. Click on a variable in the HMI 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.
   The next image shows a binary variable, named Switch Status, linked to MB0.
   When MB 0
      = 0, the text OFF will be displayed in the field.
      =1, the text ON will be displayed in the field.
   

Field: Too Small

If a field is too small to display data, a warning message is displayed at compilation and download. In addition, monochrome controllers color a field that is too small in red.
