Title: Motor Control
Post by: Morgan on June 08, 2016, 12:43:40 PM

I would helpful if a second color (Red) was added to the motor control be used to indicate a fault.  This would eliminate the need to add a separate BasicLabel control.

This could actually be done with a GraphicIndicator. You will just need 3 image files in the different colors.

Yes it could but then I would have to find or create my own motor image.  I like the one you created.  Just thought this might be a nice addition to future releases.

I also noticed that the rotation property options are repeated twice.

Hi Archie

I no this is an old tread, but i will give it a go anyway :)

Do you by any chance have a picture of the motor in Yellow as well, that would be a great help

Thanks

Do you happen to have access to symbol factory? If so, you can export from symbol factory into AHMI. That's what I've done in the past. Just FYI.

Thanks Archie

I have been playing around a bit with ways to display the 4 different motors, not really all that happy with the solution.

I think I will jump in at the deep end and try to make the motor with a 4 color option, similar to something like the 3 color pilot button, just with
4 colors.

This will be my first, so I will probably (hopefully) learn something along the way, any good advice to go along are very welcome.

Thanks

Here is an app that has a control for motor status.  It's a little clunky and is hard coded for a specific application, but it could be easily changed.  If you want to edit to suit your needs, look under AdvancedHMI - MyHMI - Controls - Motor_Status_Pictures.  The code starts at line 231, here you can change the cases and/or point to different images.  These images were exported from Symbol Factory.
