Exercise: Changing the screen with a PageLink object
a) Create an analog tag named ‘SCREEN’ and specify its initial value as 1. Set the minimum and maximum values to 1 and 3, respectively.
b) Create three popup pages and reduce their sizes so that they can fit inside of the main page.
c) In popup page 1, you can view temperatures and elapsed fire time for each floor. Alarms are displayed in the alarm summary object.
d) In popup page 2, you can monitor fire and sprinkler status.
e) In popup page 3, temperatures of each floor will be shown in the trend graph. You may also check the alarm history in the alarm summary object.
f) Click [Draw] – [Pagelink] to configure a page link object in the main screen. Select ‘Specify by Tag Values’ for the page control option, then choose ‘Popup Page’ as the page type. Choose ‘SCREEN’ as the page select tag.
g) Create touch objects which change the value of the ‘SCREEN’ tag. Assign command expressions as shown.
 | Function | Touch |
Action | Command expression | |
Command | SCREEN = SCREEN – 1; | |
 | Function | Touch |
Action | Command expression | |
Command | SCREEN = SCREEN + 1; |
