RE: View Designer syntax for concatanting text and value?

Posted By Keith Hogan Jan 16, 2026 08:49:44 AM
Found In Egroup: Automation Control \ view thread
@Splash, you can do what you want with a text display. Make sure you turn on binding on the Text property (by default binding is off). Then bind the text you want in quotes and use the concatenation operator "+" to concatenate the tag you want. You're seeing all the extra decimal points because these ...

Morley, Thanks for the explanation. I think to do what you want, you would need to use the IP address of the panel in your project event and then write the current screen name to a different PLC location depending on which of the 5 project events triggered on the panels. Looking at your screen captures ...

Morley, As you suggested, you could use your own button with a Popup Close command instead of using the caption bar. If you want the button to animate a pressed state faster, you can accomplish that with property bindings as described in tech note QA39478. #ViewDesigner Regards, ------- ...

Morley, Could we get a little more information about what you are trying to accomplish? What do you mean that you have 5 panelviews in the line?

Dietrich, This was caused by an anomaly in FTLinx. One possible work-around is to create a new FTLinx ethernet driver just to the PanelView 5000 and do the upload using that driver. That FTLinx anomaly should be fixed in FTLinx 6.50 and later and was also supposed to have been patched in FTLinx 6.40.17.242. ...

Ant, Do you have any other SD cards you could try? Another test you could try would be to save your project as a vpdr in View Designer, copy the vpdr file to the SD card, insert the SD card into the panel, and go to the Load from Media predefined screen to see if the panel can see the vpdr file ...

Harsch, There is no way to bind the TimeSpan property on the trend. Note that the TimeSpan property just designates how quickly the trend will display real-time data from the tags bound in the trace configurations.

Here is a not particularly difficult, but definitely weird control loop I implemented years ago. The customer had an eddy current furnace along a track.

Just to clarify, you can do all your development in View Designer just using the offline acd file configured as the "Logix Project File" in Project Properties. You only need the "HMI to Controller Path" and "Emulator to Controller Path" to test the project using either a physical controller or an emulated ...
