The basic configuration of a SA_PumpBlowerValve symbol is a pump oriented to the right with a fixed speed motor. A custom property needs to be configured to show the active and passive states of the motor.

Prerequisites

To follow the steps of this procedure, create ArchestrA objects that meet the following requirements:

• Create a Boolean field attribute to indicate the state of the symbol's motor.

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