Introduction
The .htm pages that will constitute your FX-RP multiDISPLAY project consist of so called “
active elements
” and
background images. Any element (text or image) you place inside the 320 by 240 pixels available space that
doesn’t have a PointID (= “Unknown”) is considered and treated as background image.
To see the pointID of any element in the
Fidelix Graphics Editor, either double click
the element, or press CTRL+E.
Any element that does have a PointID
(keywords mentioned later, or freely chosen
by yourself) will be placed on top of that
generated background image.
When used as Modbus slave, each of the
250 available points will look something like
the image on the right.
The text used in the yellow part is to 1)
define the number of decimals and the unit
displayed, 2) help to get the graphics correct
during design.
Ticking “Show point value” will enable the
displaying of the actual value of the point or register mentioned in the PointID field.
When not ticked, the middle column needs to contain the texts that will be shown, when the point has the
corresponding value specified in the left column (see “
Many projects will have more than 1 page. A link can then be made to other pages (see “
”). Only “text” or
“Symbol” elements can be used to link to other pages by adding the name of the target page. In the “LINK” box
of an active element. A link can only be used from an active element, so if your element has no other functionality,
you can simply use “LINK” as PointID.
When used as Modbus master, the pointID will be used as the field to enter the correct parameters for each of
the slave registers. The syntax is described
