Motor Types symbol component - AgitatorSettler

Some equipment symbols show a motor symbol component that indicates that a motor runs equipment represented by the symbol. There are two types of motors: Fixed and Variable.

Note: This topic explains how to set up a fixed and variable speed motor for an SA_Agitator_Settler symbol using examples from the SA_Feeder symbol. Other than differences in the names of custom properties,setting up a motor is the same.

Fill animation of a Fixed motor indicates if the motor is running or not. Gray fill indicates the motor is active or running. A white background indicates the motor is passive or stopped.

Variable motors can show other equipment states besides the passive and active states.

To configure Fixed and Variable motors

Different combinations of Wizard options and custom properties must be configured for fixed and variable speed motors.

Fixed speed motor

A single custom property must be configured to indicate when a fixed speed motor is running or passive.

Variable speed motor

To use a variable speed motor, set MotorType to Variable and set the SpeedController Wizard option to True. The symbol shows a variable speed controller to adjust motor speed.

Other optional variable speed controller Wizard options can be configured, but only SpeedController is required.
