When the value in D300 falls within 100 to 500, the text will slowly flash:

C- Visibility Animation: use this feature to make the object disappear. A tag address
monitored to determine when the object becomes invisible- made visible only when
needed. This helps to reduce clutter on screen and focus the operator’s attention to the
area of the screen that is most important. Options are:
a. Visibility Animation Properties: this lists a brief summary of all the options
selected.
b. High Limit: the upper limit determines when to make the selected object
invisible.
c. Low Limit: the lower limit determines when to make object invisible.
d. Show When: determines when visibility should occur. Options are ‘within
range’ (show when the current value is within the set high and low limits) and
‘out of range’ (show when the current value is above the high limit or below the
low limit set).
e. Tag List – the default tag register is D0 but you can select any 2-byte tag
register.
In this example, we enable Visibility Animation on a multilingual Text object and a
picture object. Select D4094 as the address to control the visibility of the objects:
When the value in D4094 is outside the range of 10-20, the two objects are visible:

D- Flash: this is similar to the Flash Animation feature described above except a tag
register does not control this option. Therefore, if enabled, the Flash feature continues
as long as the object displayed.
Options are:
a. No Flash – default state. Object will not flash.
b. Flash – Slow – Object flashes at 0.5 fps (flashes per second)
c. Flash – Medium – Object flashes at 1.0 fps.
d. Flash – Fast – Object flashes at 2.0 fps.
