Overview

In the configuration dialogs opened via the ‘Extras’ ‘Configure’ command ( ‘Extras’ ‘Configure’) the properties of an element or object are set either by activating options or dynamically by inserting project variables. Besides that the properties can be programmed via the components of a structure variable, which can be defined for each visualization element.

Note

Regard the order of analysis, which will be followed in online mode:

- The values which are given dynamically, i.e. via project variables, will overwrite the fix parameters defined for the same property.

- If an element property is defined by a “normal” project variable as well as by the component of a structure variable, then in online mode primarily the value of the project variable will be regarded.

Please regard the possibility of using placeholders as well as the special input possibilities ( Special input possibilities for operating versions) which are useful if the visualization should be used in IEC 61131-3 editor HMI or web visualization , that means if the visualization serves as the only user interface for a PLC program.

Note

Dialogs which include the configuration of Colors and Fonts for a visualization element, can look differently depending on the currently selected target system. Possibly instead of the standard dialog there is a dialog with restricted options. This might be reasonable for projects, which are designated for a use in Target-Visualizations.

Also regard that in the project options: mainchapters/OptionsforDirectories
