Instruction:

  1. The “Toggle Switch” can be found within the “Object” tab.

  2. Like our toggle switch, most objects allow you to configure the tag or address that the object will “Read/Write” to within the “General” tab of the properties menu. Many objects have an “Attribute” section that contains options that affect the style or functionality of the object. The “Attribute” section of the toggle switch allows you to choose between various “Switch Styles”:

  3. Within the “Security” tab of an input object, you may find:

    • [A] “Min. Press Time”: This allows you to regulate the time that the user must hold the switch to perform its function.
    • [B] “Enable/Disable”: This will determine if this object permits user input based on the state of a separate tag or register. When authorization is denied based on memory status, predefined actions from the [C] “Action” drop-down menu are executed.
      Note: Click here for information related to “User restriction”.
