The Movicon Vectorial Gauge is a configurable object which allows specified plant variable values to be displayed or set graphically. The Gauge objects are available in the 'Slider-Gauge-Meters' group in the "Objects Window".
The Vectorial Gauge is incorporated with a Slider, a Scale and a Bar which can be configured in various ways. The various components are in fact presented in the "Objects Window", but they all actually derive from the Gauge's base components whose style properties have been configured in different ways.
This figure shows two Gauge examples, one circular and one vertical, each composed of one Scale, one Slider and one Bar.
Gauge functionalities
The Vectorial Gauge tool has the following functionalities:
Setting a variable by means of a Slider
Displaying a variable by means of a Scale
Displaying a variable by means of a Filler Bar
The Gauge can be configured in different ways, for instance to get a display of one of the scale, bar or slider components only, or to display the objects concerned when required. In addition to this, different geometric shapes can be used for the Gauge display in order to simulate different objects according what is required.
