Operator Terminal Expert : Index 0 DropDown List

[rfond]

Hello everyone,

I have another issue with EOTE. I have a selectable dropdown list, and I want to use index 0 from this list (my selection options are 0 = Stop / 1 = Auto / 2 = Manual). The problem is that the index always starts at 1. This is a big issue for me.

How can I use index 0?

Thanks!

Hi unfortunately there is no way the dropdown object to start with index 0. If this is on a faceplate (popup) you can probably add an additional 'Accept/Ok' button to write the (selected index - 1) to the PLC variable. Convertors will also not work as it can only convert direction PLC -> HMI and not the other way around.

Are any fixes planned for this version?
Is there a roadmap for EOTE's future development?

[Hennie_Smith]

EOTE is the software that will be used going forward on all new HMI models. It is active product and regular updates are released.

So can a fix be implemented for this issue?

Hi,

You can use convertor function with variable of item. I shared document at attached.

But the variable's direction is "One Way" :(.

I've already tried this solution, but it doesn't work.
