Variables

Visualization Element Configuration Dialog Box (Variables Category)

You can enter the variables that describe the status of the visualization elements in
the Variable category within the dialog box for configuring visualization elements.
The simplest way to enter variables in the fields is to use the Input Assistant.

Note!

In online mode the variables which are set in the 'Motion absolute' dialog will
override the values of structure components which additionally might be used to
define the same property ('Programability').

In case of multiple definition of an element property consider the specific order of
precedence concerning according to which a value might be overwritten in online
mode by another.

You can enter Boolean variables in the Invisible and Change color fields. The values in
the fields determine their actions. If the variable of the Invisible field contains the
value FALSE, the visualization element will be visible. If the variable contains the value
TRUE, the element will be invisible.

Disable input: If the variable entered here is TRUE, all settings of category 'Input' will
be ignored.

Change color: If the variable which is defined in this field, has the value FALSE, the
visualization element will be displayed in its default color. If the variable is TRUE, the
element will be displayed in its alarm color.
