Hey, I want to allow the user to enter his own "Program Name" for a program that he will "Tune" himself. The product/program can be whatever he likes so he has to use a keypad, and I can't write the options in advance. I've attached a general screenshot of the main display for reference, using Samba 4.3. 1. My first question is : How can I switch to an Hebrew Keypad ? Or any other language for that matter ? 2. What is the correct feature to display it in the HMI screen ? Up until now I had "fixed" programs that I wrote the title for them in the programming stage, directly into the "Variable: List of text", then assigned them a number (like in the attached pic). when you are typing directly into Visilogic like that, Hebrew is not an issue, you just write it directly and if the font is supporting it, it will show normally. But, when the user has to insert the title, it seems that there's no option to use it (??) I reckon I need to use the "Variable: ASCII String" feature. Any other method I missed ? If it is indeed the ASCII String feature, I will appreciate any guidance on using this feature with non English letters (there are ASCII codes in Hebrew, the letters are decimal 224-250) The examples are filled with scary 🙃 vector and string functions that are a bit hard to digest for the beginner programmer… Thank you for your help.

Hi, Im currently working on a project with a M91-2-T38. The Enter HMI button does not work. I've thought of having external button connected to the INPUT port of the PLC, and using it (in software) to act as the key in the HMI keyboard (see attached image). Is it possible to assign the function of the Enter HMI button to an input? Thanks In Advance KaWu

I need to be able to open the Keypad with a Button ( not touching the Numeric Variable) and store the keypad value in an MI where I can use it later in the program. I need this because , depending on a switch setting, I need a Numeric Variable to: If Switch = "0" (System Automatic Mode ) then show value from an Analog Input. If Switch = "1" (System Manual Mode) show the MI storing the keypad entered value. I can do the switching, I just need to know how to open the Keypad with a button. Thanks - -
Hi all, I need a custom keypad that would better suit the design on my vision 700. Is there some way of modifying the existing keyboard? I can get away with simply replacing the background image of the keypad which i couldn't find a way to do, since that option is blocked on the System Images window. If this is not possible, is there some way i can access the variable (buffer) the system uses to store pending variables so i can maybe create my own keypad and redirect to it whenever a keypad appears? Thanks! -
Hi! Im currently working on a project with a Vision 130 OPLC. In my application, the people interacting with the HMI, have to press the keys many times, specifically the arrow keys and the ENTER key. I'm worried about the lifespan of the keypad and i dont want it to damage. As a solution for this, I've tought of having external buttons connected to the INPUT port of the PLC, and using them (in software) to act as the keys in the HMI keyboard (see attached image). However, I'm using a List of Text as Keypad Variable Entry, and whenever i go into keypad variable entry mode (blinking), the external buttons dont work as the keys anymore. I want to know if i'm doing anything wrong or if there is a better way to override the keypad keys. Thanks In Advance Juan

Hello all, I have run into this odd issue and I wanted to check if this is by design or if it is some sort of bug. I have V350-35-RA22 which has 5 keys on its keypad as well as a touchscreen. It has the 4 directional arrow keys but the buttons are not assigned to the corrects SB's for those keys. I have verified the assignments and have found the following: Left arrow key => SB58 (F1) Down arrow key => SB59 (F2) Up arrow key => SB60 (F3) Right arrow key => SB61 (F4) I would expect to see the following according to the visilogic documentation: Left arrow key => SB51 (Left Arrow) Down arrow key => SB56 (Down arrow) Up arrow key => SB55 (Up Arrow) Right arrow key => SB52 (Right Arrow) I could not find any info on this. Is this by design?
