High-Performance Motors Dynamos (HPMotors.fds)
Dynamo Set
The high-performance Motors Dynamo set includes the following dynamos.
Dialog Box
The high-performance Motor Dynamo dialog box contains the following properties:
- Motor Data Source - Allows you to enter the data source that animates the Motor 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.
- Motor Values - Allows you to specify the following:
- Motor Off and Motor On values - Specifies the values to turn the motor 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 Motor Off and On Value color (and Accent color).
- Tolerance - Specifies the rounding factor to be used for the Motor Off and Motor 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. 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.
- Motor Accent Color - Lets you accept the default color or select a new color from the high performance Color Box.
NOTE: Currently, this dynamo does not support complex mathematical expressions, Picture object properties, or Global Variables.
