Numeric input object at runtime

The numeric input object settings are defined in the

FactoryTalk View

when designing an application in a

FactoryTalk View Studio

.

Numeric input object

At runtime a numeric input object lets the operator type a value that will be written to a tag in an external device or a tag database. The numeric information must be entered in the format specified by the

Regional and Language Options

in the

Windows

Control Panel.

If you specify

Maximum

and

Minimum

values in the Connections tab, this creates a range of values that is valid. At runtime, if a number is entered that is outside these values, the input object changes color, and an error message is logged to the Diagnostics List, and the download is canceled.

You can also use the option,

Updating tag values continuously

, to set up an input field to display a value when it is not being used to enter a value. This eliminates the need for creating both input and display objects for a single tag.
