Visualizations

General

With the built-in visualization module, process images, or user images can be created where system conditions are graphically animated and interventions in the process controls can be performed.

The creation of visualization images will be done  in the graphics editor, which provides both standard vector graphics objects vector graphic objects and controls .

All graphic objects can be  animated dynamicalleyt  at run time.

Event code execution is possible.

A comprehensive symbol library is included in the scope of delivery.

Vector graphic objects

As a vector graphic elements are available:

• Rectangle

• Rounded rectangle

• Ellipse/circle

• Circle cutting

• Polygon

• Line

• Polyline

• Text box

Controls

As controls are available:

• Input field

• Output field

• Button

• Exchange desk

• Selection box

• Selection switch

• Slider

• On-off switch

• ScrollBar

• Group box

• Combo box

• List box

• Date/time control

• YT curve chart

• Chart

• Alarm list

• Registration list

• Image control

• Video control

• Timeline control

All these elements have a variety of properties that are sometimes static, partly dynamic.

Dynamic animation

With dynamic animation properties can be changed graphic objects depending on current variable values or expressions.

Here are available:

• Dynamic color change

• Filling of objects

• Moving objects (translation)

• Scale of objects

• Rotate objects

• Change visibility

• Change interlock

Structured text (ST) is used for the input variables and expressions.

Event code

Controls are capable of run event code, so that small parts, such as, for example, a picture switch directly in the visualization with structured text (ST) can be programmed very easy. Typical events like "Click", "Double Click", etc. are supported at this point.

Symbol library

Further, the graphics editor includes a symbol library, in which all standard symbols already exist (containers, valves, pumps etc.).
