At locations in the application where an image should to be accessed, the image ID can be briefly specified. This is especially the case with visualizations. There you can configure elements which can display images with the image ID (qualified with <name of image pool>.<image ID>).
Elements with static image display:
-
⮫ Image visualization element: “Static ID” property
-
⮫ Button visualization element: “Static ID” property
-
⮫ Image Switcher visualization element: “Image on”, “Image off”, and “Image clicked” properties
-
Cartesian XY Chart visualization element: Configuration of the background in the ⮫ Dialog: XY Chart Configuration dialog
If an element should dynamically display multiple images one after the other, then a string variable is specified for it, not the image ID itself. The variable is set programmatically (in IEC code) to change the image IDs. In this way, a dynamic image display in the visualization element is achieved.
Elements with dynamic image display:
-
“Image” visualization element: “Image ID variable” property
-
“Button” visualization element: “Image ID variable” property
