MicroLogix 1100 - Keypad Question

3 posts in this topic

I made my own custom LCD screen and wanted to make a simple menu that you could use the Keypad (arrow keys) to scroll up/down options and perform various tasks in the program. The problem I am running into is that I can't find the raw inputs for those buttons. I can "Display With Input" but they can't actually scroll because you need to press "OK" after changing an integer at the bottom and it takes up 1/3 of the screen space. So all I am looking for is this: Is it possible to get input from the Keypad into the PLC program? If not, any suggestions for solutions? Thanks!

Under the LED Function file in RSLogix 500 or RSLogix Micro is listed the internal bits for using the buttons. You will have to create your own logic to navigate the menus. The "OK" and "ESC" buttons are available. Use the following format: LCD:0.OK LCD:0.ESC Edited by swimmy67

I was hoping the Arrow Keys would be available as well. That is what I was asking about.
