Common properties of control windows

Some of the features and controls in a control window are common for all or great number of the control windows.

Title of each control window includes the name of controlled object that the control window allows to control. The title bar of the control window of the I/O tag M.MB_Ai looks as follows:

Title bar

All control windows contain the following common controls.

Note: Control window can be also closed by pressing the key Esc.

*SetDepending on the Execute button and application§s parameter CtrlAckDialog, the Set button has the following functionality:
  1. If the Execute button is NOT in the control window and CtrlAckDialog is 0, then clicking the Set button sets up a value (or default value) and object value flags (attributes).
  2. If the Execute button is in the control window or CtrlAckDialog is 1, then clicking the Set button just “prepares“ the value (or default value) and value flags (attributes) to set.
ExecuteClicking the button sets up the default value and value flags ''prepared'' to set by clicking the button Set.

Common part of every all control windows

Top part of control windows looks alike - except several differences. An example of this top part is shown on the following picture.

Example of control dialog window

As it has been already mentioned above, a control window title bar contains the name of controlled object (1). The uppermost part shows the current object value (default value) along with the technical units (2), value time (3) and object states (4).

The line below the value time (3) contains information about the object value flags (user attributes) (5). There are displayed just the names of flags with the value of TRUE. Showing the information depends on the configuration of the process D2000 HI - the option Show flags.

If current value is not acknowledged (NoAckValue), the button (6) is placed right from the value. Clicking the button acknowledges the value and then the button disappears.

The next line displays limits defined for particular object – the item Limits (7). Limits are displayed only for the objects with integer or real (analog) values.


<VLL, LL, HL, VHL>

VLL - Very Low Limit (the lowest limit)
LL - Low Limit
HL - High Limit
VHL - Very High Limit (the highest limit)

Control window of objects of I/O Tag or Eval Tag type contains the parameter Process alarm item. The button (8) contains information on the current process alarm and allows to open the dialog box to control the process alarm. If the process alarm is not acknowledged, the  button appears right from the line. Clicking the button acknowledges the process alarm and the button disappears.

If the object is in the Default value state, the window also contains the telemetric value of the object (10).

In several cases (for example sensor breakdown) default value allows to replace object value obtained by the process D2000 KOM with other value. Use of default value depends on the object configuration in the process D2000 CNF (the option Use default value). If this option has been checked at the configuration, then the control window contains the tabs Default manual ctrl and Default automatic ctrl.
