Password field not working.

[Maurice118]

If I create a password field in a HMI display, it doesn't update the tag when I input my password. It stays empty. I now solved it with creating a text entry in the HMI display and let it disappear once the password is entered. A working password field would be prefered instead of this work a round.

 

Thanks

Hi, the password element you've talked about does the other thing around. It doesn't insert the text you have entered into a tag, but rather validate the entered text with the value of the tag (You can define actions of Fail and Success to that element, so if the user have entered a correct password, then it will do something, for example, load a different screen).

 

The feature you are talking about is masking the text box. UniLogic is going to have a masked Numeric box in one of the upcomming versions, but I'll suggest a feature to also mask a Text Box if needed.

Ah thanks, I misunderstood it then. It is working now.

About this password input screen.

Is there a possibility to have a simple number window (like used on the vision series), instead of the complex window that is used now?

Is it possible to password protect a button on the screen? F.eks. if someone clicks a button to view a different screen, it will ask for a password first? And can you have multiple passwords/users that will give access to different things?
