Are you looking for a tutorial on how to incorporate a local message display in Studio 5000 View Designer? Despite my efforts, I have been unable to locate this feature in the program. I have successfully utilized local message displays in previous versions and would like to implement one in my current project. I am still familiarizing myself with this version and have not been able to find any information in the knowledge base. Thank you.
For those seeking to create visually striking messages with locally displayed text controlled by tag values, reminiscent of a multistage indicator feature in PV+, View Designer offers a solution with its Text Display feature. By specifying the tag and various text messages on the Animation Tab, users can customize their messages. It is important to note that these messages cannot contain embedded variables.
Last week, I encountered an error while attempting a text display, but after trying again this morning, it now functions perfectly as intended. It's still unclear what went wrong previously. Moving forward, I'll need to create roughly 600 different states. Thank you.
Wow, with 600 states to manage, are you able to export and import data using View Designer tools?
As a newcomer to this software, I am still in the learning process. After being retired for 16 months, I received an enticing offer to return to work on projects. I am taking baby steps to familiarize myself with the latest View version, as I was more accustomed to the older versions.
User joseph_e2 asked about exporting/importing with View Designer in a project comprising 600 states. It is possible to prepare the states in Excel and transfer them to the Animation Editor. Despite being retired for 16 months, an enticing offer brought me back to work on projects. However, I am currently focused on moving forward and have no plans to return.
Absolutely, I've been there too! Studio 5000 View Designer can be a bit tricky when it comes to certain features. I'd recommend checking out the Rockwell Automation website—they have a great variety of tutorials and support materials. For local message displays specifically, it actually took me quite a bit of time to locate as well. I ended up finding it under the tag's properties in the events tab. It's not as intuitive as the old versions, but you get used to it. Hope this helps!
I can certainly understand your predicament. Studio 5000 View Designer can be a bit tricky to navigate especially if you're accustomed to previous versions. I, too, struggled with this in the past. Have you tried the step-by-step guides in the Rockwell Automation online documentation? They deliver a wealth of information, even on less common features. If it's not there, the Rockwell community forums are quite vibrant and you may find some help there. Also, don't forget about YouTube; quite a number of professionals constantly post 'How-To' videos on these topics.
It sounds like you've already done a good deal of troubleshooting on your own, that's commendable! In Studio 5000 View Designer, it's referred to as an 'alarm banner' rather than a 'local message display.' Look under the 'Alarms' tab; from there, you should be able to easily configure it according to your project specific needs. Documentation for this is also included in the online help of the software. I struggled with that feature too when I first switched over. Hope this helps!
