Function Block Faceplate Controls

The
Logix Designer
programming application includes faceplate controls for some function block instructions. Faceplates are Active-X controls used in applications that acts as an Active-X container. The faceplates communicate with the controller via the <RSLC> OPC Server or the
FactoryTalk Linx
Gateway.
IMPORTANT:
The
Logix Designer
programming application is not a valid Active-X container. An Active-X container is required to use the faceplates.
These instructions have faceplates:
  • Process Discrete Input (PDI)
  • Process Discrete Output (PDO)
  • Process Analog Input (PAI)
  • Process Analog Output (PAO)
  • Alarm (ALM)
  • Enhanced Select (ESEL)
  • Totalizer (TOT)
  • Ramp/Soak (RMPS)
  • Discrete 2-State Device (D2SD)
  • Discrete 3-State Device (D3SD)
  • Enhanced PID (PIDE)
Configure the faceplates through property pages that open through container applications.
All faceplates have these property pages in common:
  • General
  • Display
  • Font
  • Locale
