5. Display 7 Segments​

This component manages a 4-digit display of 7 segments. You can program the behavior in BCD mode, then only are used the PLC Outs: PLC_OUT_A (as bit 0), PLC_OUT_B (as bit 1), PLC_OUT_C (as bit 2), PLC_OUT_D (as bit 4) and PLC_OUT_E (to activate decimal point). Or you can manage it directly activating/deactivating each segment using the corresponding PLC Out.

Use The multiplex to select the digit number desired using PLC_OUT_MULTIPLEX_BIT01 to activate the bit 1 and PLC_OUT_MULTIPLEX_BIT02 to activate the bit 2 in order to select one of the 4 display digits to set the value. It is necessary to set the PLC OUT Strobe once all the previous bits are configured to set the display value number.

Also is possible use one PLC Analog output to display its value (without the need to perform any conversion). You can configure the display color manually or use the PLC_Output_Color_Bit0 and PLC_Output_Color_Bit1 to select the display color, where 0: Red, 1: Yellow, 2: Green and 3: Blue.
