Using Dynamic Objects
The Multi-State Bitmap w/Label Object
The Multi-State Bitmap w/Label Object is very similar to the Bit Lamp and the Word Lamp objects. It is also used to read
values from a PLC coil or register but there are three additional features:
• option to use text labels instead of bitmaps
• assign bitmaps selected from any of the predefined bitmap libraries or use your own
• create more than five state word lamps- up to 255 states

To create a Multi-State Bitmap w/Label Object
1.
From the
in the Objects toolbar. The mouse cursor changes to a crosshair. Select the location on the screen to
place the Multi-State Bitmap and left click the mouse to place a Multi-State Bitmap object on the
screen. Move the mouse cursor over the Multi-State Bitmap object and double-click the Multi-State
Bitmap object. The Edit Multi-State Bitmap w/Label dialog box appears.
2.
First select either Bit or Value to determine if the Multi-State Bitmap object will read from a PLC coil
or a PLC register (16 or 32 bit).
3. For Value Only- If reading from a PLC/controller register, use the Format: pull-down box to select
