Panelview 800 - Multi-state indicator from 2 bits?

3 posts in this topic

I am currently copying/rewriting the HMI for several of our old CH PanelMates over to PanelView 800s.  The Panelmate allowed for conditional expressions (e.g. Condition 1: [Bit1] &~[Bit2] would be active when bit 1 was on and bit 2 was off).  Is there a way to do this in Connected Components Workbench, short of creating an 8-bit integer on the SLC5?

Solved, I had to create multiple layers that are visible when the various conditions are active.  I created a new ladder in the PLC software that determined my conditions and created a new series of bits for the HMI to use.

The drawback of the whole 800 system is it's lack of intuitiveness and user friendly programing tool. In a PV6 or 7, in tandem with ControlLogix, this would've been a much easier fix. But glad you got it going!
