Enumeration Sets
You can also use dictionaries to “translate” tag values to text. For example, a device may have a value of 0 (off) or 1 (on). Rather than display “0” or “1,” you can display the “on” or “off.”
To configure Enumeration sets:
1. Go to Run > Dictionaries > Enumeration Sets.
2. Click New.
•The Create New Dictionary window displays.
3. Enter a name for the dictionary.
4. Click OK.
5. In the Value column, enter the numeric value, and in the Translated Text column, enter the string to display.
6. For tags that use the numeric values as Enumeration Set, configure the Parameters column to use this set.
7. When configuring a display component to use these tags, set the TextOutput to one of the following:
8. Tagname or Tagname.Value show the numeric value of the tag.
9. Tagname.ValueAsString or Tagname.DisplayValue show the enumeration string.
