Creating a Hyperlink to a Logic Program
You can create hyperlinks to Logic programs such as ST Programs and Function Block Diagrams. This is useful on Mimics that show information that is related to the calculations and functionality that is provided by Logic programs.
To create a hyperlink to a Logic program:
- Display the Mimic that is to contain the new hyperlink. You need to display the Mimic in Design mode (see Displaying a Mimic).
- Either:
- Use the drag and drop functionality to drag the Logic program from the Database bar onto the Mimic, then select the Hyperlink option (see Using Drag and Drop to Create a Hyperlink).
Or:
- Use the Pick Action Wizard to create a hyperlink to the Logic program (set the pick action to Hyperlink and use the Link to Object option to select the required Logic program). For more information, see Using the Pick Action Wizard to Create a Hyperlink.
Or:
- Use the Animations feature to create a hyperlink (set the PickParam value to the address of the Logic program and enter the PickType value that corresponds to the type of hyperlink you require). For more information, including a list of PickType numbers, see Using Animations to Create a Hyperlink.
- Save the Mimic.
When the Mimic is displayed in Run Mode, selecting the 'trigger' object will cause the 'target' Logic program to be displayed in a new window or in place of the currently displayed Mimic (depending on the type of hyperlink you have configured).
If you want to link to the Form of a Logic program instead of the graphical display, see Creating a Hyperlink to a Form.
