7.8.4 Using Labels
Once a Label is defined, it can be used anywhere text is needed. This includes all Parts that have Label Tabs, Text, and
Alarm Scan and Event Log objects.
1. Check the
Use Label Library
box to enable label use.
2. Select the desired Label from the
Label Index
dropdown.
3. Fill in other settings as desired.
Note:
The
Label Library
button can be used to call up the
Label Library for adding labels without exiting the Part or
Object dialog.
After a label is assigned to a part, the Language displayed
is changed during Simulations or Application mode by
changing the value in System Reserved word
LW 9130
. (0
corresponds to Language State 0, 1 corresponds to
Language State 1, 2 corresponds to Language State 2,
and 3 corresponds to Language State 3.)
A convenient way for an operator to change language is to
assign LW 9130 to a
Multistate Switch
with the
JOG+
Switch style
and
No. of states
set to 4.
Hint:
Make a Label in the Label Library for the Multistate
Switch so it is multi-language as well!
7.8.5 Exporting and Importing Labels
Defined Labels can be exported and imported to files for archiving, editing or use in other projects. Only Labels exported to
CSV files can be edited by other programs.
Export …
: Exports Labels in EasyBuilder format. This is the preferred format for archiving Labels. Labels in this format can
be imported into other projects but not edited with other programs.
Import …
: Imports Labels from a previous EasyBuilder formatted export operation.
Note
: Labels that were originally exported from a project with a different PLC driver are imported with no detrimental effects.
Example of Toggle Switch Object’s Label tab using the
example Label created above.
