Slide controller

*

This is an input device used by mouse, whose value is written into any byte, word or dword variable of the PLC in different formats.

You can also control the slide controller with the keyboard after you have activated it by clicking: With the page up/page down keys you achieve an adjustment by one of the displayed graduation marks. A high precision adjustment is possible by the arrow right/left keys.

The minimum position will be below if the slide controller is vertical, if it is horizontal it will be on the left side.

The slide controller can be used as an analog display as well. Just transfer a value into the connected PLC-variable.

Another possibility to give analog values is the digital display, which can be used as digital input as well.

If you want to change the size of the input value (byte, word or dword), just select the desired size first and enter the new operand afterwards. This is quite annoying, but we have not had the time to make this more comfortable yet.
