About the basic parts
Basic parts in the part library are library parts that perform basic displays/operations on the monitoring screen, such as numeric displays and lamp displays.
The parts library contains a wide variety of basic parts that are frequently used on monitoring screens, such as numeric displays, numeric inputs, lamp displays, button switches, and select switches. A feature of the parts library is that library parts do not require tag binding definitions, and can be easily operated by simply setting tag paths for custom properties such as input tags (_TagIn) and output tags (_TagOut). The functions provided by the parts library can be built from scratch using basic controls such as Label control, Button control, and edit controls, but by using the parts library, you can easily build displays and operation switches without having to go through the trouble of setting individual properties.
The following types of parts are available as basic parts in the part library.
