Overview

Regard the following items concerning a visualization in online mode:

• Order of evaluation:
  • Dynamically defined element properties (by variables) will overwrite the (static) base settings defined by options in the configuration dialogs.
  • If an element property is defined by a “normal” project variable as well as by the component of a structure variable (programmability), then primarily the value of the project variable will be regarded.
  • A visualization can be configured in that way that in online mode it can be operated solely by inputs via keyboard. This is an important feature especially for using the visualization with IEC 61131-3 editor HMI, as web visualization.
• Before a download of the project regard the current setting of option ‘Prevent download of visualization files’ in the target settings. This concerns all files which are used in the current visualization. Visualization files are only downloaded for web visualization and can be bitmaps, language files and for web visualization also XML description files.
• The configuration settings for Display, Frame and Language can also be edited in online mode.
• As long as a visualization “reference” is not configured explicitly, the particular elements of the reference in online mode will react on inputs like those of the original visualization (“mother” of the references).
• When you switch the language (‘Extras’ ‘Settings’) this will only effect the display in online mode.
• A visualization can be printed in online mode.
• If a visualization is used as Target-Visualization, information on user entries via mouse-clicks can be scanned with the help of special interface functions and thus be used in the project.

Note

You can find descriptions on the online usage of some visualization elements, like e.g. Trend or Table, in the help page on the configuration of the respective element.
