Section 4-7
By double-clicking the image in the programming system with the mouse, the serv-
er program used to create the image is opened automatically and the image can be
edited. The scope of functions available to design the images depends on the fea-
tures provided by the server program. The placement of images in the program-
ming system can be pixel or grid oriented depending on the operating terminal type.
4.7.2
Graphics on Operating Terminals
Graphics are linked into the user description in the form of static background im-
ages for each I/O mask, dynamic variables on a bar chart, dotted lines on a curve or
selection images. These basic elements allow the user to design a customized,
full-graphics user interface. The curves (trendlines), bar charts and selection im-
ages are updated cyclically, so that a simple kind of animation is also possible.
4.7.2.1
Background Images
Background images can be created for masks on the terminal with the aid of graphi-
cal objects. Up to ten different background images can be specified for each mask.
Background images are defined by means of the name and its position in the mask.
You can also select display attributes for each background image. The following
attributes are available: normal, inverse or flashing. The size of the displayed im-
age is determined by the definition of the graphical object.
Fig. 12: Example of coordinates
Background images are output on the display one at a time. Their order is deter-
mined in the programming system by the order in which they are entered. The
images are copied to the display memory in the selected mode. The maximum
resolution and size of the bitmaps for background images are equivalent to those of
the type of display that is used. Splitting the images into modular segments has the
advantage that they can be reused within the system, which above all enables
memory space to be optimized. Background images can be used for all static appli-
cations, such as:
-
Fixed display arrangement
-
Representing the soft key row as icons
-
Coordinate systems
-
Information about production processes
-
Static images or icons
-
Representing overviews of plants or processes
If several different background images have been defined for a mask, they can also
overlay one another. The write-over mode to be used for this process can be spec-
ified.
