Bar graph Numeric values in bar graph format. The bar graph increases or
decreases in size to show the changing value.
Gauge Numeric values in dial format. The gauge’s needle moves around
the dial to show the changing value.
Multistate indicator The state of a process, on a panel that changes its color, image, or
caption to indicate the current state. Each state is set up to
correspond to a numeric tag value or least significant bit.
Symbol The state of a process, using a monochrome image that changes
color to indicate the current state. Each state is set up to correspond
to a numeric tag value or least significant bit.
This object is useful for showing the state of a process or operation
at a glance.
List indicator The state of a process, using a list of possible states with the
current state highlighted. Each state is represented by a caption in
the list, and is set up to correspond to a numeric tag value or least
significant bit.
This indicator is useful if you want to view the current state but
also want to see the other possible states. For sequential processes,
the list can alert the operator about what happens next in the
process.
Trend Historical or current numeric tag values, plotted against time or
shown in an XY plot where one or more tags’ values are plotted
against another tag’s values to show the relationship between them.
RecipePlus table Current tag values and data set values of the ingredients in the
selected recipe, and the number of ingredients in the recipe. The
table works with the RecipePlus button and RecipePlus selector
graphic objects.
Drawing object with rotation,
width, height, fill, color, or
horizontal or vertical position
animation Show the value of a tag using a pictorial representation that shows
the current value in relation to a range of possible values. For
example, use rotation animation to show the tag value as a needle’s
position on a dial.
For color animation, assign different colors to represent different
values.
ActiveX object A third-party object, connected to an analog, digital, or string tag,
including both HMI and data server tags. The data shown depends
on the object.
