Input Textarea

Description

Input Textarea allows users to submit free-form, multiline text to a connected logic system.

It works via a Connection String and is compatible only with:

  • CODESYS
  • Node-RED
  • JavaScript Runtime

Whatever the user types will be transmitted directly to the variable. If a corresponding process is pre-programmed, it can trigger an action — like starting a function, triggering a command, or sending a message.

Note: This component only works with the above technologies. Not supported for other systems.

Example CODESYS:

IF ( sText1 <> '' ) THEN

            wsText1 := STRING_TO_WSTRING(sText1);

            sText1 := '';

            CntText := CntText+1;

END_IF
IF ( sText1 <> '' ) THEN wsText1 := STRING_TO_WSTRING(sText1); sText1 := ''; CntText := CntText+1; END_IF
