Output Display

What is Output Display?

Output Display shows numbers in a digit-based style, similar to the look of old digital clocks or counters (7-segment style).
It is designed to display real-time numeric values coming from a connected PLC or runtime system.

The display is purely visual — it does not accept user input.

Key Features

• Digit-style visual display
• Can show values from a Connection String (e.g. temperature, runtime, count)
• Fixed-width formatting ensures uniform appearance
• Works well in dashboards, machine counters, runtime clocks

When to use it?

Use Output Display when you want to show:

• Production counters (e.g. parts produced)
• Runtime duration (e.g. machine hours)
• Temperatures or pressures in a compact format
• PLC timer values

Practical Example

In a packaging line, you want to show the number of boxes packed per hour:

PLC variable → currentBoxCount = 128
Output Display shows: [ 0128 ]
