DataTextArea

This component lets you insert in pages an area where you can write text that will then be saved directly in the array indicated on the PLC (STRING). The maximum number of characters writable in the area depends on the size of the variable STRING (max 251 character).Once the component is deposited on the page and its dimensions are defined, click it to access the properties for configuring its behavior.Once the component is selected, in order to write text in the area at runtime you have to press the ENTER key. Pressing the key a second time confirms the text and sends it to the PLC.The ESC key lets you cancel the text entry and the arrow keys let you move in the text entry field.If you come to the end of the line, press the right arrow key (or the Line feed button on virtual keyboard) to insert a new line.If you are on the last line, each time you press the right arrow key you can insert a new line at the end of the text.Description of properties:

• label: the name of the variable on the PLC (character array).
