Chapter 10 - Representing Data with Graphics Objects
EasyBuilder includes several active graphics objects or 'parts' which are used to represent data that is stored in the
PLC or internal memory of the OIT. The data represented can be single bit coils, 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit registers.
The data can be represented as numbers, ASCII characters, or as graphic shapes or bitmaps. This chapter focuses on
only parts that perform relatively simple functions. More complex parts used for alarms, trending, etc. will be
reserved for later chapters.
General Properties of Objects
Many of the objects in EZware-5000 share several common elements that are described in more detail in this
section.
When you create a new object, a popup dialog box always appears that is used to assign the particular attributes to
that object.
For example, below is the attribute box that appears when a new Word Lamp object is created:
Most of the objects have four tabs: General, Shape, Label, and Profile.
Under the General Tab
Description:
This is a text box that allows the programmer to add more details about this particular object. Please note that
information put into this box is not downloaded into the OIT.
