NOTE!
If you import an image with a higher resolution, the process screen editor scales the image to the max-
imum admissible size. The aspect of the original image is kept. Similarly the color depth of the image is
reduced to 16-bit if the image file you are importing uses more colors.

Description
The status of a digital signal is graphically depicted using two pictograms (icons or
images).
The value of an analog signal is displayed in numerical form (e.g. 123.45).
The status of a digital signal is displayed within a frame via a text (e.g. Low, High).
Text that is displayed in the process screen.
This is a fixed text that is entered when editing the object.
Frame for grouping or highlighting objects
The area within the frame is transparent and is automatically placed in the back-
ground. An object (e.g., text or image) located within this frame is made visible as a
result.
Rectangle for grouping or highlighting objects
Unlike the frame, the rectangle is not transparent (separate color can be set). As a
result, objects can be arranged against a background with a color that differs from
that of the general background color.
The value of an analog signal is displayed as a bar graph (vertical or horizontal).
Field for displaying the features of an analog signal (e.g., channel designation, scal-
ing, unit, limit value)
Field for entering a float value
The value is assigned to an analog variable (selection from a selector).
Field for entering a text
The text is assigned to a text variable (selection from a selector).
Field for selecting a binary value (low, high)
The value is assigned to a digital variable (selection from a selector).
Field for selecting a text from the text list
The text can be selected from a defined area of the text list. Depending on the con-
figuration, the text is written to a text variable. The number of the selected text can be
written to an analog variable.
Text that is displayed in the process screen.
This concerns a text from the text list. The text selection is controlled via an analog
signal that determines the text number.
