Piloted control list selectors
have the same function as control list selectors.
However, they can be controlled directly by an operator, or remotely by a device such as a
programmable controller.
Tag labels
show information about a tag’s properties, such as the description,
engineering units, and minimum and maximum values.
Display list selectors
let an operator navigate between graphic displays in a list.
Local message displays
provide an operator with information, or prompts about what
to do next.
Recipe
objects let an operator restore data from a recipe file to input objects in a graphic
display.
Time and date
shows the current time and date.
Trends
provide visual representations, or charts, of real-time or historical data.
For information about creating:
An HMI tag alarm summary object, see Chapter 11, Setting up HMI tag alarms.
A trend object, see
Chapter 23, Setting up trends.
For details about setting up any of the advanced objects, click Help in the object’s
Properties dialog box.
Creating arrows
Use the Arrow tool to create arrows that move based on a tag value or the result of an
expression. Arrows can move vertically or horizontally.
Vertical arrows move up or down, and horizontal arrows move left or right, in relation to a
tag’s Low or High EU (Engineering Units).
For HMI tags, arrows can move in relation to the tag’s minimum and maximum values,
or values specified in the General tab of the Arrow Properties dialog box. For data server
tags, values must be specified in the General tab.
For vertical arrows, if the value is less than or equal to the minimum value, the arrow is at
the bottom of its range. If the value is equal to or greater than the maximum value, the
arrow is at the top.
For horizontal arrows, if the value is less than or equal to the minimum value, the arrow is
at the left of its range. If the value is equal to or greater than the maximum value, the
arrow is at the right.
