Components > Display and Signal

Purpose

Using the 'Value driven Text' component you can display value dependent different text . This applies to the states on / off / undefined, also as the display of values, such as

temperatures within a text.

The component is not a control element.

Formatting:

The formatting for values received via the data point Value Display is set at Text Undefined.

For strings and other values, '#' can be used as a placeholder. In this case, #'s are hidden if a value is present. If the value "0" is to be displayed, a 0 must be used as a placeholder instead of #.

In this case, # are hidden if a value is present. If the value "0" is to be displayed, the 0 must be used as a placeholder instead of the #.

To protect the character string from unwanted formatting, it must be framed with "" or ''.

For value displays and presentation, see Formatting. The formatting applies to "Text On", "Text Off" and "Text at Undefined".

Text display format:

You can set the following properties for the displaying text:

· The display format defines the representation of values within the text.

· #0,000 for. three digits, int

· %H:%M:%S for hours of operation,

· hh:mm:ss for hours/minutes/seconds,

· dd.MM.yyyy für day/month/year. The rule is: MM=month, dd=day, yy=year, HH=hours,

mm=minutes, ss=seconds.

· Text #,#; Text -#,#; Text 0.0

· "Text positive" ##0,##; "Text negative" -##0,##;"Text 0"

For strings and other values '#' are used as a placeholder for a digit. To protect a string against

unwanted formatting, it must be framed with "..." or '...'. Between the different formatting sections

these must be separated with; (semicolon).
