C-More Object Visibility

8 posts in this topic

Is is possible to use more than one tag name to set object visibility, without the need to write additional code in the PLC? What I am wanting to do is mask a radio button unless x OR y conditions are met. I am fairly new to C-More, I was trained using In-Touch.

Unfortunately no. Cmore can only use single tags.

Thanks for the reply. I discovered that you can cover the button but its still able to be pressed (odd but ok) so its a moot point.

If a control button's visibility is turned off then it won't function. If you only cover it with another item which has switchable visibility then it won't disable it.

The problem I am running into is this, I have to be very careful with the PLC memory usage as I am working with a very large existing program. I need to create 3 sections of 6 buttons each, in which if one is on the others are off. I also would like these buttons only visible when certain conditions are met. I decided to use Radio buttons and mask out what I didn't want visible, which was a bust. So as much as I can I need to keep from writing extra RLL code to accomplish this. With In-touch I could write scripts to easily do all this, but it seems C-more is very limited in this area. Any ideas or help would be fantastic. Edited by eflorey

Each platform has its strengths and weaknesses.

I'm not knocking C-More, it's been great to work with it and easy to learn. I was just curious if there was an easier way to do what I needed done.
