Working with Object Types
Object types are used to define objects that represents the different types of devices
and process objects for which data will be fetched in the PLCs.
Object types hold information and functionality of a specific type of object, e.g. a
pump. In this chapters the object type and its properties are defined.
The following steps will be described:
• Creating an object type
• Adding signals to an object type
• Adding graphical Elements
• Adding Faceplates
• Adding Alarm and Event
• Adding History logging
• Adding Trend display
It is important to note that these created object types can easily be exported and
reused in several projects using Compact HMI 800.
