I know this is an old post, but I don't think with the NA screens you can overlap two buttons. Only one button will work, the one in front. I've tried this in the past and couldn't get it to work like it does on the NB screens. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

This script works. Sub Enter_Product Dim RecipeName As String RecipeName = st_Prod_Enter st_Template=GetSelectedRecipeTemplate("Part_Enter","RecipeViewer0") WriteRecipeToController (st_Template,RecipeName) End Sub HMI Page name is "Part_Enter. "st_Prod_Enter" is the string variable entered in the data field below. Press "confirm product" will write all the recipe ingredients to the NX1P controller. Good thing is that if you enter a part number (recipe name) which is not already in the recipe, an error message pops up letting you know. So you can only enter valid recipe names. Note: you have to place the recipe viewer in the screen, it is the recipe viewer used in the script, "RecipeViewer0". I have made it invisible and disabled it.

Was there a solution posted to this question? I can't seem to find it. I also have an application where I have close to 100 recipe names. It is very cumbersome for the operator to scroll through all recipe names to select the one they want to use. Ideally they would enter the recipe name in a data entry field and select it that way. But we also still want to be able to use the recipe viewer to select the recipe name. I was looking at writing a script: WriteRecipeToController(RecipeViewer0.SelectedRecipe) where the SelectedRecipe is entered in the data entry field.

Ok, I ended up using a 1756-CP3 cable. I just cut and extended it. This cable has the same pinouts as the 1747-CP3? Anyway, the bottom line is that the 1756-CP3 can be used to connect a ML1400 to a Panelview Component C300. Use the 2nd serial port on the ML1400, this is channel 3. You can configure channel 3 in RSLogix500 but the default settings will work. These default comms are DF1, Full Duplex. This is also the default setting in the C300. So pretty much plug and play.

Thanks, I'll make up a cable and post here how it goes.

Is it possible to connect a Micrologix 1400 to a Panelview Component C300 directly using the 2nd serial port on the Micrologix (9-pin D)? I need to make up a cable because of where the Panelview is mounted. Would the cable be the 1747-CP3? Thanks.

I have contacted Schneider Electric and it seems that in PL7-Pro you can only enter address/symbols to contacts by typing them completely. There is no shortcut or pop-up table to select symbols from as in AB, Omron, etc. Too bad, this makes the programming very labour intensive.

I am using PL7 Pro V4.5 Is there a quick way to select variables or addresses when they are entered above the contacts in ladder? At the moment I need to have a list handy of all variables and i/o addresses to add them to contacts. I was hoping there would be a shortcut allowing selection of used addresses instead of having to type them in, similar to AB, Omron, etc. Thanks.
