Gabriel Franco Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 In numeric variable, What "mask entry" is used for? A couple of suggestions for creators, regarding numeric variables: 1. An option to "group" digits for display purposes. Large numbers may be difficult to read without such option,i.e 9876543.21 displayed as 9,876,543.21 2. Option to show entry limits in keypad, so the user is aware about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hello Gabriel, The mask entry option will display all entered numeric values as asterisks. This is to hide any information the user may not want openly displayed on the HMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Are you operating the HMI in person, or are you connecting to the unit remotely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Gabriel, The OPLC has to have an OS that supports the project features. When using an older OS in the OPLC with a more recent project this is likely the cause as to why it was not properly displaying. I'm glad to hear that it is working now.
