Overview Switch universal


With this control element a button with the states on/off is realized. The state on applies when the value of the connected variable matches the parameter value for on, otherwise the state is off. With this function, this control element can also send, for example, 0 and 100 for on/off.

Function
Value type
  • Toggle: The value is toggled between the parameters value for on/off.
  • Push button (on/off): When pressed, the value for on is sent, when released the value for off.
  • Value on (static): Send value on only. When released, the value on is sent.
  • Push button (on only): Send value on only. When pressed the value for on is sent. Otherwise behaves like a push button.

Important: The push-button function with a longer press-and-hold is not possible on all operating systems; for example, under Windows 10 in tablet mode the long key press via touch is managed by the operating system as a selection.
Switch on when Display of button pressed (on):
  • Value equals value on:  The button is displayed as pressed when the value of the connected variable equals the parameter value on.
  • Value not equal to value off: The button is displayed as pressed when the value of the connected variable is not equal to the parameter value off.

The difference between the two parameters is that in the first case the button is only displayed as pressed when the current value matches the value on, otherwise not pressed. If value on is, for example, 1 and the current value is 10, the button is not displayed as pressed. With the second option the button is displayed as pressed (button pressed is any value except 0).
