CONFIGURING THE MONOCHROME VIRTUAL HMI
ENABLING ACTIONS
If the key is displayed in BLUE, local and global actions are BOTH defined.
Once you have defined an action, you can right-click on the key and use the resulting menu to
select either Make Global or Make Local to change the action type. These options will not be
available if both types of action have already been defined.
ENABLING ACTIONS
If you want to make a particular action dependent on some condition being true, enter an
expression for that condition in the Enable field for the action in question. This expression
may reference a flag tag directly, or may use any of the comparison or logical operators
defined in the Writing Expressions section. If you need more complex logic such that one of
several actions is performed based on more complex decision-making, configure the key in
user defined mode and use it to invoke a program that implements the required logic.
ACTION DESCRIPTIONS
The sections below describe each available type of action. When each type is selected, the
Action Details portion of the action dialog box will change to show the available options.
THE GOTO PAGE ACTION
This action is used to instruct the Master to show a new page. The options are shown below…
• The Target Page property is used to indicate which page should be displayed.
You can either choose a specific one to be displayed, or choose Previous Page to
return to what was displayed before the current page was called.
• The Show As Popup property causes the target page to be displayed as a popup
on top of the current page. while the popup is displayed, the keys will assume the
definitions established for that page with the exception of the exit key. The exit
key is used to remove the popup from the display.
