30mm
The
30mm
category under ButtonsAndSwitches
in the Toolbox
contains illuminated and non-illuminated industrial push buttons. 30mm pushbuttons are used in manufacturing systems where more space for enclosing internal components is required. This category also contains a pilot light commonly seen in manufacturing systems. Use a 30mm 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 properties of the graphic element to tags in the controllers. 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.Built-in animation properties
A built-in property to animate a graphic element exists for only some of the graphic elements in this category. This property appears depending on the graphic element selected:
LightOn | General | Specifies the on and off state of the light. |
|
Common properties exist for all graphic elements.
Property | Category | Purpose | Accepted Values |
Access | Security | Specifies if all users have access to the control element, or if access is inherited from the screen. |
|
Angle | Position and Size | Specifies the rotation angle. Enter 180 to display the graphic element upside down. If you enter a value larger than 360, the portion of numeric value that is over 360 becomes the value. For example, enter 380 to see a value of 20. If you enter a value less than 0, the negative value is subtracted from 360. For example, enter -30 to see a value of 330. |
|
Enabled | Appearance | Specifies if the graphic element is available on the HMI device and if the graphic element accepts touch and key input. |
|
Height | Position and Size | Specifies the height in pixels. | Any positive numeric value |
Opacity | Appearance | Specifies the transparency of the graphic element. | 0 (fully transparent) - 100 (fully opaque) |
Visible | Appearance | Specifies if the graphic element is visible on the HMI device. |
|
Width | Position and Size | Specifies the width in pixels. | Any positive number |
X | Position and Size | Specifies the horizontal coordinate, in pixels, from the upper left corner of screen to the upper left corner of a graphic element or group with no rotation. If the graphic element or group is rotated, the X property value does not change. | Any positive number |
Y | Position and Size | Specifies the vertical coordinate, in pixels, from the upper left corner of screen to the upper left corner of a graphic element or group with no rotation. If the graphic element or group is rotated, the Y property value does not change. | Any positive number |
