Setting a bit with Function Key Control

5 posts in this topic

Hi, I am new to OMRON HMI's so have a newbie question. I am using NB Designer and a Function Key control to change screens. When this button is pressed I would like to set a bit. Is the best way to do this to just put a Bit Button under the Function Key control? It seems to me there must be a better way. I also could use a Bit Button which triggers a Touch Trigger over a Function Key to change screens  but in that case I would want to make  to make the Function Key invisible? Is there a simple way to do that?

Thanks

Just found the Write Notice under Triggering Action which I think I can use but still trying to figure out how to make a Function Key invisible and still active.

Thanks

To make it invisible, but still active, do not assign any graphics to the button (Uncheck Vector Graphics and Bitmap options).

Thanks a lot Michael. This is great.  A very simple and elegant solution but one I would never have thought of and couldn't find documented anywhere.

Have try a command button .

in the function you can tell it to display a screen .

also it is possible to hide it in the same manner as the function key .
