The Moving Shape Ob ject

The Moving Shape Object performs three functions depending upon the values in three consecutive PLC registers:
Similar to the Word Lamp Object, the Moving Shape object continuously reads a PLC register and displays
the corresponding shape or bitmap that is tagged to the number of states defined
the Moving Shape object continuously reads a second PLC register to determine where along an x-axis to
display the shape or bitmap
the Moving Shape object continuously reads a third PLC register to determine where along a y-axis to
display the shape or bitmap.
This feature allows you to create a shape or bitmap on a screen that can change the way it looks as well as where it
is located on the OIT screen depending upon the control of the PLC. This can be used to simulate a control process
such as some products moving on a conveyor system to different parts of the plant.
