Title: How to rotate a graphic
Post by: billfloyd806 on April 10, 2013, 03:02:32 PM

I'm building a screen to start and stop exhaust fans for the plant. I can start and stop them, but now I'd like to take an image of a fan blade and rotate it 360 degrees as long as the fan is on. Can anyone explain how to do this? I looked through the graphics and didnt see any type of fan blades?

There is an animating fan component, but it is only used in training class, so it is not available to the public. Your best route may be to try to use a GraphicalIndicator with 2 images. Make one straight and the other rotated by 45 degrees. Then set PLCAddressValue to a bit in the PLC that repeats a toggle when the fan is running. That will give you somewhat of an animation.
