No PLC Needed Controller –Simulate = True Tag.SimType –UserMode (default) –Ramp –Random –Sine Simulating a Controller

There are 3 ScanModes –Read Only –Write Only –ReadWrite How does ReadWrite work? –Scan the Tag.Value for changes If so write these changes to the PLC. –Read all the Values from the PLC Tag.Value = 123, Invokes a Write. Automatic Group Scanning

Binding of Tag.Value to any Form Control 1 to Many Relationship UIItem Constructors – UIItem(FormControl, Property) – UIItem(FormControl, Property, Format) – UIItem(FormControl, Property, StartVal, StartColor, StopVal, StopColor) UIItem Class
