Any field of “text” or “Number field” type can be used to set values. In order to do so, “Controller set value” has
to be selected in the EditPoint dialog box to make a point’s value editable from the FX-RP multiDISPLAY.
A number keypad will appear when the field is clicked, and the selected value is then attributed to the point.
The functionalities described
hereunder are to be used by
appending the according tag behind
the “POINTxx” identifier in the
pointID field of the EditPoint dialog box (as shown on the image). Features (and thus the ‘tags’) can be freely
combined in any order.
NOTE:
The content of any register can also be shown by using the point ID “REGxxxx”.

You can choose to show the value of a point, or to display a text according to the point’s value. Showing the
actual value is done by either selecting a “Number field” type element, or by ticking the “Show point value”
tick box of a “Text” type element. Ticking the “Controller set value ?” tick box will generate a popup on the
display when the value is clicked. Note that the user can now enter any desired value, so it is up to the
connected controller to evaluate this user entered value.
Showing text based on the value of a point (like for instance
on/off, day/night or off / startup / slow / fast / error) is done
by selecting a text type element and writing the desired
values and corresponding texts in the yellow box inside the
EditPoint dialog box.
More details can be found in the “
” section later
in this document.
-
To use a multi-stage image (like an “on/off” power button), enter the desired values through which to toggle
separated by spaces in the “Fixed value” field of the EditPoint dialog box:
-
#UNIT:xx where xx is the unit that is used to show the point. These units can either be programmed by the
Modbus master (like it is done if the FX-RP multiDISPLAY is used with an FX controller or a multi24), or can
be defined in the EditPoint dialog box in the graphics editor.
For text type fields, the unit can also be defined in the “Text” field, in which case the unit is parsed from the
end of the text. For example, “21.0°C” will define one decimal precision and degrees Celsius as unit.
NOTE:
A unit cannot be freely selected. The FX-RP multiDISPLAY firmware has a predefined list of units that
can be used. If you need a unit that is not listed please contact us, and the needed unit can be added to our
next firmware release. List of currently available units: "°C", "Pa", "bar", "V", "l/s", "m
