FactoryTalk Visibility Error

[Ruskied]

Hey guys,

Seems to be a simple fix I but can't get it for some reason.
So I have two digital modules, one input, one output. One button on FT with two tags connected to input module tag via "Connections" and output module tag via "Visibility". Visibility expression goes like this "If {PLC tagX} == 1 Then 1 Else 0"

If the module isn't there (using an emulator in this case) should the button go to Visibility State 0 (configured to be visible)? Instead it becomes invisible with a white border, I think it indicates Error since the module isn't there.

Is there a way to ignore the output tag and default to visible state if the tag isn't recognized??

I just need the visibility for the input tag since the input module is there.

Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Edward

Simple answer-- If you associate an object with any tag name that cannot be resolved then the object will 'wire frame' which is the Rockwell term for the condition you describe.

It's all okay as long as it's okay.
