Static Value

About

String
Number
Boolean

Use this type for values that aren't gonna change while your HMI is running. Might sound a bit unusual first but it can be very useful in different scenarios. Let's say you're defining a Condition to compare the value of a Data Variable (Dynamic Property Type) against a fixed threshold that will never change.


Types

The following static data types are currently supported:

TypeUse Cases

String

Use it to display static text in your HMI that doesn’t need to be translated.

If you’d like to display texts that you need to be translated later, then make sure to use the localizable-text.

Number

Use it as part of a Condition to compare a numeric Data Variable against a static threshold.

Boolean

Use it as part of a Condition to check if a boolean Data Variable is true or false.
