⚠️ Artistic text controldoes not support pop-up keyboard input, it is a pure display control.
1. Attribute introduction
1.1 Function settings
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Read address | Bound variable address |
| Data type | UINT16/INT16/UINT32/INT32/UINT64/INT64/FLOAT/DOUBLE |
| Number of integer digits | Number of integer parts, with leading zeros |
| Number of decimal digits | Integer type expression of decimal (1234 set to display 2 digits as 12.34); floating point retains decimal digits; can display invalid zeros (100 set to display 2 digits as 1.00) |
1.2 Appearance settings
- Alignment: left/right/centered
- Image: image of artistic characters,strictly arranged in the order of "0123456789-."(frames are placed in numerical order in the gallery)
2. Application cases
Read and writeLW1000(INT16), with automatic integer digits, 1 decimal digit (with trailing zeros), centered alignment, and image associated with the gallery (in the order of 0123456789-.). PLC writes values, and artistic characters are displayed bit by bit.
Artistic character imagesmust be strictly arranged in the order of 0-9, -, and ., and the control takes the corresponding frame according to the character value. If the order is incorrect, the displayed numbers will be all messed up. When making "large screen numbers" (such as production and temperature), it has more impact than vector font libraries.
Compiled from VisualHMI development documentation (hmi-doc.gz-dc.com) of Guangzhou Dacai Technology, the tutorial on configuring control "artistic characters" is owned by Dacai Technology.
