22mm

The
22mm
category under
ButtonsAndSwitches
in the
Toolbox
contains illuminated and non-illuminated industrial push buttons. 22mm pushbuttons save space on legend plates. This category of graphic elements also contains a pilot light and a reset button commonly seen in manufacturing systems.
Use a 22mm graphic element on a legend plate to start, stop or jog a piece of equipment on the HMI device. To illuminate a pushbutton or the pilot light, bind the built-in animation property of the graphic element to a tag in a controller. To have the pushbutton behave like a button, add a Button Behavior event by right-clicking the graphic element or adding the event on the
Events
tab of the
Properties
window.
