In EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert, why do my String Displays not show the text and symbols from String Variables from Modicon M241/M251/M262 PLCs?
For the HMI to read the STRING and WSTRING type variables via MachineExpertNetwork protocol,
- In EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert software, open your HMI project
- Navigate to theProject Explorer
- ExpandTarget01 > Drivers
- Select "Schneider Electric-MachineExpertNetwork*" node
- In the System Architecture page, click on the row of the Equipment (default name "MachineExpertEquipment1")
- On the far right side of the screen under the Properties box, find "String Encode" near the bottom of the list.
- In theString Encode dropdown, select "CodePage1252"
- Download the changes to your HMI (or Simulate)
ALSO NOTE:The best font to use for String Displays showing String Variables from M2xx PLCs is <LanguageName>_Gothic
