Operator changable variables from run screen

Summary

A easy way for the operator to change certain variables directly from the run screen.

What is it?

Nothing fancy is needed, a way to select a variable in the runscreen and a popup to change its value. Maybe you can select if it is a boolean, text or number to avoid any errors.

Why is it needed?

I like to have a simple way for the operator to change values or toggle steps without fysical buttons or dialogs each time in a loop. For example, the operator need to disable one step in the process due to rework.

Hello,

You simply need to develop a small HMI in a URCap that contains all the variables to select or modify, and link these variables with JComboBox, JCheckBox, JTextField, etc. (for example).
You then call your URCap node at the beginning of the program, and the operator only has to select or enter the desired values.

Here is a small example:

Best regards
