Icons
If the icon is in a template type, the icon must be a public control module type. The
name of the type should be NameIcon. For all icons, the control module instance
name should be Icon.
Size of the ErrorIcon
If the symbol in the module icon is not large the ErrorIcon should be in the
background of the module, and cover almost the whole icon. The ErrorIcon should
be put behind the symbol.
If the symbol in the icon is large, the ErrorIcon should be smaller and put where it
can be clearly visible.
Icons in IconLib
IconLib contains a number of general icons (control module types) that are common
to all libraries. They have transparent background and frame because it is possible to
combine them by putting one on top of the other. Another reason is that a red
ErrorIcon should be visible in the control module type icon in case of error, and
must not be covered by the other "sub icons". The interior of a closed symbol in an
icon should, however, not be transparent.
It is important that these icons are used in the same way in all the libraries. The
following example categories describe how these icons should be used:
•
•
•
Note that the graphics of the icons may be changed in the future. The meaning of the
icon should, however, not be changed.

Maneuver icons - The maneuver icons should be used together with interaction
objects for maneuvering process objects or machines. The icons look like the
actual buttons that can be found on a machine, and the result of clicking on this
type of icon should give the same result as pressing a button on the real process
object or machine.
Mode icons - The mode icons should be used for presentation of the current
state or mode of a process object. For example, a process object that is in
manual mode can be indicated by the ManModeIcon.
Command icons - A command icon should be used together with an interaction
object. If the operator clicks on this type of icon, some function should be
activated.
