5 Different button has different function.Such as: Bit Switch; Bit lamp; Word Switch; Word lamp; Function Switch; Keypad Switch; Combination Switch.
6
7 == Bit switch ==
8
9 Bit switch is designed to access the bit-address of the PLC/HMI. When bit switch is triggered, the changing of "Write Address" depends on the mode setting. When "Read" option is selected, the "Read Address" is editable.
10
11 === General ===
12
13 To operate, monitor and display the specified PLC or HMI bit address. When the bit switch is pressed, the bit value of the operation address changes as described by the switch type. When Monitor is available, the state displayed by the bit switch is the state of the bit to which the monitor address is pointing.

18 **Read-write**
19
20 * **Write Address: **Bit switch controls PLC or HMI address.
21 * **Read Address: **Read and display PLC or HMI bit address state.
22
23 **Mode**
24
25 * **Set OFF:** set off the write address.
26 * **Set ON:** set on the write address.
27 * **Momentary:** set on the write address when switch is pressed, and set off when switch is released.
28 * **Delay:** set off the write address after a delay. (for example: assign the delay time as 5, write address will be set off after released 5 ms.)
29 * **Switch:** switch between 0 and 1 each time the switch is triggered.
30
31 **Display**
32
33 * **Inverted Display: **Display the state picture and text of the object reversely.
34 * **Quick Read: **The speed of configuring the object is prority to other objects.
35
36 **Blink: **Control the state of blink by the bit address of control bit. Blinking while control bit is triggered, the frequency is editable;
37
38 * **Blink when ON: **blink when control bit is ON.
39 * **Blink when OFF: **blink when control bit is OFF.
40
41 **Minimum hold time: **Only when the time of pressing the object is greater than or equal to the set minimum hold time will the function of the object be performed.
42
43 **Indirect addressing:**
44
45 * **Read address**: Use the value of the read address to determine the address A after deviation, and use the address A as the read address of the object.
46
47 **For example:**: HDX11.0 is the read address of the object. The three indirect read address is D0, E1 and HDW2. The system would read the value of address HDW2.
48
49 If its value is 22, and the second indrect read address E1 would update to E23, then the system would read the value of E23.
50
51 If its value is 33, then the fisrt indrect read address D0 would update to D33, then the value of D33 is 44, that is, the bit of deviation is 44 bits.
52
53 A word has 16 bits, divide 16 into 44, and the answer is 2, remainder 12. Therefore, the read address of object is update from HDX11.0 to HDX13.12, and the final read address is HDX13.12.
54
55 **Write address**: It is the same as the read address.

107
108 Users can set enable password for object. There are following operating setting when user permissions are insufficient. But "Pop login screen" and "Hide object" are mutually exclusive.
109
110 * **Pop login screen**
111 ** Every time: Userlogin screen will pop-up when user permissions are insufficient;
112 ** When change user: Userlogin screen will pop-up when user permissions, and if users logged in successfully, the previous users will log out.
113 ** Pop once: userlogin screen will pop-up when user permissions are insufficient, but when user enter the right password, this object can be operated by anyone.
114 * **Hide object: **When the user has no permission, the object is hided. When the user has the permission, the object is displayed and can be operated.

120
121 **Data format**
122
123 This format is for settings address, and it is fixed for all objects.
124
125 **Proportion:**
126
127 The proportional gain setting is a proportional change to the moving and scaling values. Result=Gain*original value+Offset. This function is just for display. Actual value is still the original value.
128
129 For example, the HDW1 original value is 5, Gain is 0.001, Offset is 0. The final result will be displayed as 0.005, while HDW1 actual value still is 5.
130
131 For example: If the proportional gain value is x and the moving or scaling value is y, then the actual moving or scaling value is (x*y).
132
133 **(Movement**
134
135 The function of [Movement] is to move the position of object on the screen according to the value of address and movement type.
136
137 There are three movement type:
138
139 * X-axis movement.
140 * Y-axis movement.
141 * XY-axis movement.
142
143 **For ex**a**mple**
144
145 If the starting address of the movement is HDW10 and the movement type is [XY axis movement], HDW10 controls the X-axis movement, and HDW11 controls the Y-axis movement.
146
147 **Deform**
148
149 Deform object display size on screen, mainly depends on width and height.
150
151 Deform type: left, right, up, down, left and right, up and down, right/left and up/down, right/left or up/down.
152
153 === Address editor ===
154
155 The address editor is a tool used to assist in generating address strings. The address of object is composed of connection, device station number,  device type and address number.
