General Description : Advanced Programming Features
EZ Panel Programming Software is compatible and supports all the new PLC drivers as well as new convenience features :
Many times, an operator will want a great deal of information available on one screen at any given time. Getting all this information to fit, however, can be quite a task. Allowing objects to overlap is just one more way your can save a great deal of screen real estate. In our example below.
When designing screens, there are many attributes assigned to objects, such as object's colors, object's shapes, text sizes, text colors. All these details in completing a style for the screen takes a great deal of time. This feature allows the ability to "copy and paste' these styles from one object to as many as you select. Another wonderful time saving feature!
Free Sizing of Touch Objects
EZPanel's Enhanced Editor allows the free sizing of all objects without snapping to the grid or the actual object itself snapping to certain dimensional sizes. You can finally make all objects as large or as small as you want them to be.
Display of Tag Addresses on Objects
The PLC addressing uses Tag names, so that you can associate meaningful, easy-to remember names to the addresses. Additionally tags are useful if you use different PLCs with the same HMI program. You will only need to design the HMI program once! Then just change the tag definitions to match the PLC you have to use - a wonderful time saving feature!
