Configure Style Overrides for Quality and Status Elements

Note: AVEVA Industrial Graphics is now deprecated within Plant SCADA and future releases. It will no longer be supported or maintained in future versions, monthly updates or security updates. AVEVA recommends customers cease using AVEVA Industrial Graphics within Plant SCADA runtime systems and decommission any Plant SCADA Industrial Graphics web servers from production and engineering systems. See AVEVA™ Industrial Graphics for more information.

When defining Styles for AVEVA™ Industrial Graphics objects, you can configure the appearance of elements so that they will reflect the quality and/or status of an attached I/O. This allows you to standardize the appearance of quality and status animations.

There are two ways to indicate status and quality:

• Use the Status Element, available from the Industrial Graphics Editor Toolbox

• Apply styles to primitive objects so they reflect a particular quality or status.

To configure style overrides for quality and status elements:

1. In the Standards activity, select Styles.

2. On the Styles Configuration dialog, select Edit. The Configure Styles dialog will appear.

3. Select the Quality and Status tab.

   

4. Select Enable Quality and Status Display. This will apply styles to normal primitives that have I/O attached to them.

5. In the Status Style Overrides panel, select the status element you would like to modify.

   The check marks in the Status Style Override panel indicate if an element already has an override configured for it. The columns represent the following:

   • Ts — text

   • Fs — fill

   • Ls — line

   • Ol — outline

   • St — status.

6. To view or edit the style override settings for the selected element, click on the corresponding tabs in the section to the right of the dialog.

   • Text (Ts) tab — allows you to define a Font Override, a Font Color Override or Blink settings for the text that is used.

   • Fill (Fs) tab — allows you to define a Fill Override or Blink settings for the fill that is used.

   • Line (Ls) tab — allows you to define a Line Pattern Override, Line Weight Override, Line Color Override or Blink settings for the line that is used.

   • Outline (Ol) tab — allows you to select to Show Outline, and then define a Line Pattern, Line Weight, or Blink settings for the outline.

   • Status (St) — allows you to set the Image properties for a Status Element (which uses an image to indicate quality and status). You can Select the image used, and specify Transparent Color, Style and Alignment properties.

     

     Note: The Line and Fill properties on the Status (St) tab are not supported in Plant SCADA. They will not affect the style applied to a Status Element.

     The Preview panel will display the outcome of the current configuration when the selected element represents an active state.

7. If required, select the Reset to Default button to return the selected element to its default state.

8. Click OK to close the Configure Styles dialog.
