DataSet

Settable data. Lets you assign a data on a page to a PLC variable in the database engine.It has the following properties:

• alignment: 0 = aligned left, 1 = centered, 2 = aligned right. Note: this DataSet property is not available on PC Executor.
• label: label that identifies the data on the PLC (allowed formats: label, label[constant], label[label2])
• comma: number of decimals to be displayed. Can be a numerical constant or a variable on the PLC.
• min/max: minimum and/or maximum value, allowed to be set at runtime. The set limits are generally customizable by the 1131 grid, (min/max columns) and they are active in all the pages. In case it’s necessary to customize the same value on different DataSets, or use limits on data types not supported by the grid (e.g.: arrays single elements) it’s possible to use these properties. Please note: the grid use is preferable as it doesn’t add pages workload (as these properties do).
• hint: lets you assign to the data a description string taken from the text database, displayable in another part of the screen as a hint. For this purpose, use the StringHint component. This description will appear also inside the Data History panel.
• unitHint: lets you assign to the data a description string related to the data unit (e.g.: mm or bar, etc.). This description will appear inside the Data History panel.
• readOnly: Lets you make the data unchangeable in order to have a read-only data but with the possibility of taking the focus of the cursor (example: displays with hint).
• passwordMode: Lets you hide the typed text by replacing it with asterisks (******)
