Creating New Application Server Object Instances Automatically

If you embed an Industrial Graphic from a template, the InTouch HMI can create an instance of that object and the symbol instance references the new instance.

The following example shows you how to create a new Application Server object instance automatically.

To create a new Application Server object instance automatically

1. Create an object template $Valve1 and open it in the IDE object editor.

2. On the Graphics tab, add an Industrial Graphic called ValveSymbol.

3. Create a derived template of the InTouchViewApp object and open it in WindowMaker.

4. Create a new InTouch window and embed the Industrial Graphic ValveSymbol from the object template $Valve1. WindowMaker prompts you for an instance name.

5. Type a name, for example Valve1_E122 and click OK. The Industrial graphic is pasted on the InTouch window and the AutomationObject instance Valve1_E122 is created in the Galaxy.
