hello,
we want to use panel 5AP1181.1043-000 with mapp view and PPC220 + hypervisor. I need help how to configure hardware keys from the panel in AS 4.12 to be able to mapp variables on them to be able to work with buttons in application.
I downloaded B&R Key Editor but is seem not help me.
Is there any way to use this panel without VC?
Thank you
Hi Michal,
not 100% sure if this work for the 5AP1181 but it should since your panel should also supports OpcUa server but you may need to install it. This should allow you to interact with the button directly in mappView.
hello @marcel.voigt, can you give me some hint how to communicate with buttons directly with mapp view? I need to configure server alias and than I can create events? do you have any examples (at least screenshots or xml code, no need the whole project )
thank you in advanced
You need to add OpcUa Server Configuration to mappView and configure the connection to the external server.
For example my external OpcUa server is another ARsim and has the alias ROBOT.
Now the inconvenience with external OpcUa server is that you can’t browse for tags from mappView the browsing wizard but you can easily use another OpcUa client (I use UaExpert) and copy the NodeID with the Alias added in brackets.
Same process for bindings
<!-- Information section -->
<Binding mode="oneWay">
<Source xsi:type="opcUa" serverAlias="ROBOT" refId="::AsGlobalPV:gOpcUaCom.Data.Version" attribute="value" />
<Target xsi:type="brease" contentRefId="dHelp" widgetRefId="TextOutputToolVersion" attribute="value" />
</Binding>
The KeySwitch software I referenced works a bit different since it reads the data directly into a variable you create on your PLC. So instead of mappView being client the KeySwitch tool is the client therefore the configuration to route the key data to a user defined variable.
Let me know if you are still missing any information.
