D 5.18 Graphic symbol
A graphic symbol is used to animate static graphic objects. As with the other dynamic objects,
a maximum of 3 binary process states, and consequently eight different states can be
configured for this object. Two colors and one static object are defined for each state. The
static objects can be single objects or groups containing several objects (SGM). It is thus
possible, for example, to display a line in a variety of different colors and also to select
completely different representations for the various different states
The following Animate options are available:
• Do not move
Display with or without color change at the same coordinates as a
function of binary variables.
• Discrete move
The pre-set coordinates at which the graphic symbol is displayed are
a lookup function of binary variables (max. 3). Customized colors can
also be specified for the different states (maximum of 8).
• Continuous move
The graphic symbol is moved continuously between two x/y
coordinate points as a function of an analog signal. Up to 3 binary
variables can also be set in order to define a maximum of 8 different
color- and display states for the graphic symbol.
When a graphic symbol is moved, all associated items are always moved together.

tabs may also need to be defined.
