Can I create an animated display on a Silver Series HMI?
Yes. “Animation” can be done by moving a shape object along a path of stepping stone markers (these can be non-linear, such as a bouncing ball), or by moving a shape (“Moving Shape”) using X- and Y- coordinates relative to the shape’s original position (these must be linear, such as a linear actuator). For an example of this, see the animation screen in the HMI520Cdemo.epj file that comes with the EZWare software. More information about animation can be found in the animation chapter of the Silver Series Installation and Operations Manual.
