Use the Momentary push button object to create a button that starts a process or action by sending a value to the data source. Momentary Push buttons send one value to the data source when pressed and another value when released.
A Momentary push button can perform three types of actions:
If the button’s hold time is still in effect when the button is released, the second value is not sent until the hold time expires. You set up the hold time on the General tab.
Important: |
Do not use push buttons for emergency stops. Emergency stop buttons must be hard-wired. |
