Controlling the system with interactive controls
Operational values are changed on graphic pages with text boxes or switches in a Web Portal graphics page. These elements are listed in the table Graphic page entry elements.
Interactive controls
Note: Depending upon individual security settings, not all elements are visible to every operator.
Drop-down box A drop down box is a list of two or more selections. In the example shown in the table Graphic page entry elements, the choices are Slow, Medium, and Fast. The exact values required to operate the equipment for each of the three choices has already been programmed by the TotalControl system administrator.
Text box Use a text box to enter a value and then press ENTER when finished. The range of the value entered may be limited by the TotalControl programing for the equipment.
Up down text box Increment or decrement a value in an up/down button text box by clicking the up or down buttons next to the box. Values may also be entered manually similar to Text box operation. The range of the value entered may be limited by the TotalControl programing for the equipment.
Toggle switch A toggle switch sets the state of a piece of equipment to one of two values such as On or Off, Stop or Go, Auto or Manual. The toggle switch element may appear on a page in either of two ways.
- The standard library image of a toggle switch. This is shown in the table Graphic page entry elements.
- As a custom image selected by the TotalControl system administrator.
Clicking the image of a toggle switch, either a standard or custom image, changes the state.
