Create a maintained button

Use the maintained push button object to create a button that toggles between two values. This type of button is useful for changing a setting within a machine or process, but not for starting the machine or process.
A maintained push button sends one value to the data source the first time it is pressed, and a second value the next time it is pressed and released.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use push buttons for emergency stops. Emergency stop buttons must be hard-wired.
To create a maintained push button:
  1. In
    FactoryTalk View Studio
    , in the
    Graphics
     editor, select
    Objects
     >
    Push Button
     >
    Maintained
    , or click the maintained push button icon in the toolbox.
  2. Drag the mouse to position and draw a rectangle the general size and location you intend the button to be.
  3. In the
    Maintained Push Button Properties
     dialog box, specify how the button looks, how to change states, and its tags.
