Analog Meter 2

parts_analogmeter2_001

Analog Meter 2 is a component that displays the value received from the tag with a meter needle.

In addition to the meter needle display, it also has a numerical display.

Specify the tag to be displayed in the input tag (_TagIn). You can specify any numeric format, such as the number of decimal places, whether to display delimiters, etc.

You can also display zones on the meter for any range you like. For example, you can display safe and dangerous ranges of measurement values as strips.

In addition to the input tag, by specifying a tag for fault identification in the fault identification tag (_TagFault), it is also possible to display a fault based on signals such as equipment abnormalities received from downstream.

Usage Example

1) Input tag specified/No fault identification tag

Displays the value of the tag specified in the input tag.

parts_analogmeter2_001

The number is displayed according to the number format and decimal places defined in the custom properties.

If the quality flag of the input tag is BAD, a fault is displayed.

parts_analogmeter2_002

The part will be framed in yellow and will flash.

There are various number formats available (e.g. "@de" for Germany, "@ja" for Japan, etc.). The number format can also be customized. For example, you can freely specify the string to be displayed in a fault state (e.g. ***). For details about number formats, see Number Formats.

2) Input tag specified/Fault identification tag

If you specify a fault identification tag, you can receive the fault status of the device via the tag. For example, if you can receive a fault status (such as a sensor abnormality) from the downstream side as a signal separate from the device's measurement value, you can specify the tag path of that signal as the fault identification tag to display the fault along with the state of the quality flag of the input tag.

parts_analogmeter2_001

When the fault identification tag is False, the value received in the input tag is displayed normally.

parts_analogmeter2_002

A fault is displayed when the fault identification tag is true or when the quality flag of the input tag is bad.

3) Assigning values via script

You can display any numeric value entered from the script without specifying an input tag.

If you want to assign a value directly from a script, do so to the "_Value" property.

If you assign a value directly from a script, you cannot use a fault identification tag.

For more information about scripts, see "Scripts".

4) Change the number format

You can change the number format to display numbers in various formats.

parts_analogmeter2_003

In this example, the number format is specified as "@de" (Germany).

The same format is reflected in both the numeric display and the gauge display.

*In German format, the decimal point is displayed as a comma instead of a period.
