In a process parameter, additional information can be defined as a note. In the PI sheet, notes are displayed on one or more detail screens which you can call up from the overview using pushbuttons.
By default, the system will offer the pushbutton Note which can be used to display all notes for a control instruction on the same detail screen.
If you want to group your notes and display them on separate detail screens, you can define texts for further pushbuttons in the process instruction. In the PI sheet, the notes following the definition of a text can be accessed using the corresponding button.
Assign the following characteristics:
Characteristic |
Meaning |
Value |
PPPI_BUTTON_TEXT |

Any short text |
PPPI_NOTE |

Any long text (detail screen) |
You can define any number of notes and pushbuttons in a process parameter. The texts are displayed on the detail screens in the sequence in which they are defined.
Note
If the value of a characteristic is a long text or a short text, you can insert the value of another characteristic into this text using a text symbol;
