B- Flash Animation: dynamically ‘flash’ selected object. ‘Flash’ means the object displays
on screen periodically depending upon the value (0-65535) in a tag register. This can
indicate an alarm condition or attract the operator’s attention. When enabled, the
following options are displayed:
a. Flash Animation Properties: this lists a brief summary of all the options selected.
b. Flash When: determines when flashing should occur. Options are ‘within
range’ (flash when the current value is within the set high and low limits) and
‘out of range’ (flash when the current value is above the high limit or below the
low limit set).
c. High Limit: the upper limit that determines when to flash
d. Low Limit: the lower limit that determines when to flash
e. Speed: the rate at which flashing occurs when activated. Options are slow (0.5
fps- flashes per second), medium (1 fps), and fast (2 fps).
f. Tag List – the default tag register is D4095 but any 2-byte tag register can be
selected.
