Moving Shape
The Moving Shape Object is used to move a shape or picture on the screen based on values in consecutive registers
(specified by the Read Address). The value in the Read Address register determines the state of the object and can be
used to change its appearance. The value in the next consecutive register(s) determines the position of the part
(relative to the object’s initial position, in pixels). The position can be defined by X values, Y values, and XY values,
where the Read Address + 1 = the X or Y position (for X axis only or Y axis only modes), or the Read Address + 1 = the X
position and Read Address +2 = Y position (for X & Y axis mode). These addresses define the position relative to the
upper-left corner of the shape. The Min/Max XY values in the Moving Shape object’s properties define the total area
within which the object is allowed to move, regardless of the values in the controlling registers.
Animation
The Animation Object is used to move a shape or picture on the screen based on values in consecutive registers
(specified by the Read Address). The value in the Read Address register determines the state of the object and can be
used to change its appearance. The value in the next consecutive register (Read Address + 1) determines the
preselected position of the part.
When the Animation Object is selected, the cursor changes to a crosshair (+). Left-click the mouse on each location
where the object will appear. When all locations have been defined, right-click the mouse to finish drawing the
object. There must be at least three positions defined. The first location is represented by a 0 in the register, the
second location by a 1 in the register, and so on.
Media Player
The Media Player Object is used to play a media file on the HMI screen. The media file is stored on a USB flash drive or
SD card connected to the HMI. Click the Preview tab to load the media file and view the file. If the file plays in the
Preview tab, it will play in the simulator and the HMI. The media player supports the following formats: avi, flv, mov,
mp3, mp4, mpg/mpeg, wav, wmv.
Specify the folder on the USB device where the media file(s) reside in the Folder name: field. The root folder is not
allowed; and only one level is supported. For example, an entry of “video” specifies the folder “video” on the USB
device, and is allowed. An entry of “video\files” specifies the folder “files” under the folder “video,” and is not
allowed.
Note: The Media Player is available only on the X series models.
Video In
The Video In Object is used to input and play video on the HMI from an external source. One of two video input
channels can be selected either in the program or dynamically using a PLC register. The video inputs can be
configured to accept NTSC or PAL video formats. A control function can be enabled that allows the value in a PLC
register to control the video input.
Control Word address 0 = Stop playing
1 = Input Video 1 and display onscreen.
2 = Input Video 2 and display onscreen.
3 = Input Video 1 but don’t display onscreen (available for capture function).
4 = Input Video 2 but don’t display onscreen (available for capture function).
Control Word address + 1 0 > 1 transition toggles Pause/Play (register resets to 0 after each transition)
