Is there a way on a window to display the Schedulers Time Set values?
For example, I have 2 different schedules (weekend and weekdays). Is there a way to display the Time Set Start and End values on the HMI for the operators to see? This way they could know that in “X” amount of time the system will start or stop.
Currently the values are Constant, not addressed to the PLC.
Thanks!
Hi @jonmarc91,
To clarify, are you trying to implement a count down or do you just want to display the execution time of the scheduler as static text?
Hi @Brendon.S,
Just looking for static text of execution time. Nothing to special or fancy, more that the general operator knows at 5pm, the system will shut down.
There is a clock already on the screen so they have current time.
Thanks!
Thank you for information! To add static text, you can use the Text / Comment object within Draw section of the object tab:
That would just be a static text, which is okay.
If the time ever changed though in the scheduler, is there a way to link the Start/End times to that static text?
At this time, it is not possible to link the execution time of the scheduler to a static text object unless you use the “Address” option shown within this tutorial. When using this option, you can display the execution time using numeric objects instead.
Note: This would require you to re-design the scheduling aspect of your project.
Thanks for that. Bit of a re-work but no problem, it seems fairly straight forward. Appreciate it!
