Property Description of Multistate Indicator Element

Multistate indicator provides a method to indicate the state of some specific address. It will send state changes message to user no matter it is Bit, LSB or WORD. If this address is an significant indicator or important message or important alarm, it can be used to inform the user immediately by changing state display method or different text setting. Or let the user know more information according to the changes of different states to make the user can also handle the corresponding situation at the first time.

Read Address

The address can be internal memory or the controller address. (Please refer to

 

Table 3.2.2 Property Description of General Buttons.)

 

When the read address is set to the contact of the controller, i.e. PLC, the multistate indicator will change depending on the state (ON or OFF) of PLC corresponding contact. For example, the user can set that when the value is 1, the indicator will display the text “Start” and when the value is 0, the indicator will display the text “Stop”. The user also can add a picture into each state of the multistate indicator and then the corresponding picture will show when each state is activated.
