if i only use it as input variable I won't be able to update its state within the visu object. Lets say i have real value as a property, i would like the slider object to display this value and also modify it.

You can write any expression that evaluates to TRUE/FALSE in that property, you can also call a method from the property.

Put %f in the "text" field and rValue in the "Text variable" field. You could also have a look at the possible placeholders: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Visualization/_visu_placeholder_with_formatting_sequence_in_a_string.html

I am using TargetVisu in my v3.5 sp20 p6 (64-bit) project. I see no control that will allow me to bind, edit, and display a LREAL variable. Am I missing a library? If it exists, why can't I see it?

You could try using the VUM_UserGroup struct from the VisuUserManagement library. I haven't tried this, but there is a variable for tAutoLogout to set the logout time.

Hi, i guess you want to make a hour counter. You need to store the measured value. Try to use a retain variable, but need a graceful shutdown, or save it your self. see https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Runtime/thread/278e325579/ Succes.

Could not find the solution to this issue but I have side stepped this by creating a global variable MAX_SIZE.

Is there a way to move the slave axis across the zero point of the master axis with variable start and stop points? For example: Slave start at 270Β° and end at 50Β°. thanks :)

if you just want to show the currently logged in user in the visualization, then just create a field with text %s and as text variable VisuElems.CurrentUserName

I know, that is not the issue though. The issue is the HMI_Blower_Auto_PB variable not changing to false. I do not have the IO modules plugged in yet, that is why there are NaN values for those variables. That should not affect this.

Have you cross referenced the variable to see if it is being written some where else? You could try an Execute block instead of a Move.

Hey mate, did you get to the bottom of this? If not, have you double checked the buttons are linked to the correct variables and/or performing the correct action? Have you tried always enabling the block to confirm false is moved to the variable if so?

with every call of the FB500 it keeps adding the INTs of the array to the sum variable. set sum to 0 before you start the loop.

Vijeo doesn't support TIME variables, so the easiest thing to do is convert to a STRING in your program, and use that variable. You could use TimeAsString:= TIME_TO_STRING(TimeVar) to get a string that looks like this: T#5h10m45s200ms

Only logged in to agree with the above. So counter intuitive. Why does an associated action force the variable when the step it is associated to is not active? Makes no sense at all, is terrible to debug and costs a lot of time. Such as shame.

Maybe your question makes sense but I don't see it. Maybe you should rephrase and add a lot of detail

To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes. Example: "getting started docs"
To exclude a word or phrase, put a dash in front of it. Example: docs -help
To search on specific fields, use these field names instead of a general text search. You can group with AND or OR.
