Configure a basic SA_Valve_2WayAngle symbol using InTouch tags

The basic configuration of a SA_Valve_2WayAngle symbol is discrete valve. A single custom property needs to be configured to show the active and passive states of the symbol. The basic configuration of an analog SA_Valve_2WayAngle symbol requires you to set three additional custom properties to show the valve open percentage on the symbol's valve position bar.

The steps to configure a basic discrete or analog 2WayAngle valve symbol are explained in the following procedure. A caption within the procedure identifies the additional steps to assign reference values to the custom properties of an analog valve.

Discrete valve prerequisites

This procedure explains how to configure a basic symbol using a reference to an InTouch tag.

• Create a Discrete tag.

• Create an InTouch application with a window to verify that the symbol has been configured correctly.

Analog valve prerequisites

To follow the steps to configure a basic analog valve, create InTouch tags that meet the following requirements:

• Create a Discrete tag to indicate the state of the valve.

• Create a Real tag for the valve's PV value shown as the open percentage on the valve position bar.

  Note: The symbol includes two other custom properties to set the upper and lower limits of the measured value range. Static values of 0 and 100 are used as the values for the lower and upper limits of the range.

• Create an InTouch application with a window to verify that the symbol has been configured correctly.

To configure a basic SA_Valve_2WayAngle symbol

1. Drop the symbol in a WindowMaker window.

2. Double-click on the symbol to show the Edit Symbol Properties dialog box.

3. Click the Custom Properties tab to show the default custom properties.

4. Click the Browse Galaxy button to the right of the Default Value field to show the Select Tag dialog box.

5. Assign a Discrete InTouch tag as the reference value of the EquipStateActive custom property.

6. Continue at step 12 of this procedure.

   Specific steps to configure a basic analog 2WayAngle valve symbol

7. Set the ValveType Wizard option to Analog.

8. Select the PV custom property from the list and click the Browse Galaxy button to the right of the Default Value field.

9. Assign a Real InTouch tag as the reference value for the PV custom property and click OK.

10. Assign 100 as the value of the PVMax custom property.

11. Assign 0 as the value of the PVMin custom property and click OK.

12. Save your changes.

13. Run the application containing the symbol in WindowViewer to verify that your configuration changes are correct.
