Motor and Fan Controls
Motors controls are graphical representations of motors, fans, and pumps, and rotary controls.
Motors provide a graphic illustration of how fast a motor is running by showing an indicator brush in the control. The speed of the motor is user-controlled; the faster the indicator moves, the faster the motor is running. By manipulating the properties, motor controls can be used to monitor motor behavior, lifespan, or even scheduled maintenance intervals.
Fan controls display the relative speed of rotation of the fan blades. Fans can be used as an independent control, or be added to a motor to simulate a motor fan.
When a motor or fan control receives a null value for the IsOn property, the control sets its Opacity property to 0.2. The control appears disabled until a True or False value is received for the IsOn property.
Rotary controls contain circular graphics that spin 360 degrees at user-defined rotation speeds. When a rotary control receives a null value for the IsOn property, the control sets its Opacity property to 0.2. The control appears disabled until a True or False value is received for the IsOn property.
