Error

The Error graphic element is an icon used to indicate that an error has occurred. This graphic element appears in the
System
category of the
Toolbox
.
Add an
Error
graphic element to indicate that a task did not complete successfully in the manufacturing system. For example, use the Error graphic element to indicate if a product passed inspection at a test stand. Bind the
Visible
box in the
Properties
window for the Error graphic element to a tag in a controller. The Error graphic element shows when the tag value is True, indicating the product did not pass. The Error graphic element does not show when the tag value is False, indicating the product passed. For a successful test, you can bind a tag to the Success graphic element.
