GOT GS2107 List Selector

4 posts in this topic

Hi, I'm replacing a system I did 10 years ago with Allen-Bradley with a new Mitsubishi system using a GOT hmi.  I'm basically recreating what I did previously so the operators don't have to learn something new.  In the old system I had a list selector where the operator would use arrow keys to scroll down the list of tanks (e.g. Tank A, Tank B etc etc) to select the destination tank, this would return a number to the PLC which would then open the appropriate valve for that tank.  I can't seem to find anything like that in the Mitsubishi software (GT Designer3), can it be done?

WORD Comment Display  function.

Just select a Comment group which has the tank list (TANK A , TANK B ..)

For instance when de word device  = 5 then comment 5 will be shown

 

Here is a small example

Comment_Display.GTX

OK thanks, I'll use a couple of momentary buttons to increment/decrement D0 in the PLC

you could also use a GD (GOT word device) for the selection and copy that value to a PLC device when the correct tank has been selected
