Blink Property
If you want an object to blink at runtime, unlock the
wallpaper. In FactoryTalk View ME software, all of
the list objects except images and panels use color
animation to blink.
•
Panels use the blink property to blink.
•
Color images do not blink.
•
Monochrome images use the blink property to
blink.
All Objects
Object Names
Object names are replaced with default object
names in FactoryTalk View ME software. The
PanelBuilder 1400e object name is used for the
object's description. You can view and edit the name
and description in the property panel.
Caption and Image Placement
FactoryTalk View ME software supports one, three,
or nine positions for captions and images, depending
on the type of object. On conversion, captions and
images are positioned using the closest match.
Some captions might:
•
overlap images.
•
be truncated.
•
be clipped to fit the object.
Realign or resize objects for best fit.
Multiple Image Labels
FactoryTalk View ME software supports one image
label per object or state. If a PanelBuilder 1400e
object is configured to use multiple image labels,
only the top left image is converted. Create a single
image from multiple ones.
Text Overlap
Change the border width or resize objects.
Expressions
Expressions are converted without modification and
then commented.
•
Warning text is placed at the beginning of the
first line of the expression.
•
Exclamation marks (!) are placed at the beginning
of each subsequent line of the expression.
To enable the expression, you must remove the
warning text and exclamation marks, and revise the
syntax if necessary.
Expression Length
The maximum length of expressions in FactoryTalk
View ME software is 1024 characters. If a
PanelBuilder 1400e expression contains more than
1024 characters, the excess characters are not
converted. Modify the expressions as needed.
