Dear All,

                How can i make WinCC flex hmi button to be hold for a 10s, i.e, if a press & hold a button for a period of 10s button event has to execute. but i dont want to use plc code for this purpose. is this possible ?

Hello Saradhi

Yes it is possible in Panel where you can do Scripting.

You can create an internal Daten and Time Tag and a Bool.

Then create 2 scripts. one for press Button event one for Release Button Event.

In  the first Script set the boolTag and read out the system Time in the Internal tags.

In the Second Script reset the Bool and compare the past Time in the internal Tag to the actual system Time. Then you can run your event or not.

Its quite the Same as in PLC Code but in HMI Code.

Have a nice Day

How to get difference between time, i searched the available methods but unable to find out.

can you please give a example.

Hello Saradhi

Script 1 at Press Button

--------

SmartTags("testDTTag") = Now
SmartTags("testBoolTag") = 1

--------

Script 2 at release Button

------------------------

Dim StartTime, StopTime, i

StartTime = SmartTags("testDTTag")
StopTime =  StartTime + 10/24/3600 ' 10 for ten seconds

If Now >= StopTime And (SmartTags("testBoolTag") = 1)  Then
	SmartTags("testResultTag") = 1
Else
	SmartTags("testResultTag") = 0
End If
SmartTags("testBoolTag") = 0

-------------------

Internal Tags:

testDTTag -> DateTime

testBoolTag-> Bool
​testResultTag-> Int

I Think this should work.

So when you press the Button longer than 10 seconds and release then the Result Tag will be set.

hope it helps

PS: When this Information helps, you could use the Rate Button

Hello Murof,

How did you calculate this value "10/24/3600" as ten seconds

Hello Saradhi

its just a Sample code part from a Siemens FAQ that i used here.

look at this FAQ for the source:
