High-Performance Mixer Dynamos (HPMixer.fds)
Dynamo Set
The high-performance Mixer Dynamo set includes the following dynamos.
Dialog Box
The high-performance Mixer Dynamo dialog box contains the following properties:
- Mixer Data Source - Allows you to enter the data source that animates the Mixer Dynamo. Click the browse button (...) to browse data sources in the Expression Builder. Click the down button to view the last data sources you used. These dynamos are designed to support iFIX real time data, OPC, and Proficy Historian. Proficy Historian data source is supported for the current value.
NOTE: Currently, this dynamo does not support complex mathematical expressions, Picture object properties, or Global Variables.
- Mixer Values - Allow you to specify the following:
- Mixer Off and Mixer On values - Specifies the values to turn the mixer on and off. You can accept the default colors for these values or select new colors from the high performance Color Box. The following illustration shows the default Mixer Off and On Value colors.
- Tolerance - Specifies the rounding factor to be used for the Mixer Off and Mixer On values. Typically, iFIX uses this value when comparing a process value to a target value. If the process value is within the specified tolerance, iFIX assumes the two values are equal. For example, if the target value is 1.0, the tolerance is 0.1, and the current value of a data source is 0.8, iFIX does not assume the two values are equal because the data source is not within the specified tolerance. The value must within the range 0.9 to 1.1 to equal the target value.
