Use the Multistate push button object when you want the operator to be able to show and select multiple options using a single button. The Multistate push button displays the current state of a process or operation by showing a different color, caption, or image to reflect different states.
Each time the operator presses the button, the application sends the value for the next state to the data source. When the button is in its last configured state, pressing it causes the button to change to its first state and write out the first state value.
Important: |
Do not use push buttons for emergency stops. Emergency stop buttons must be hard-wired. |
