Step 5. Configure Frame Animation

Procedure

  1. Evaluation starts with the first frame/expression.
  2. As soon as an expression evaluates to TRUE, the frame displays.
  3. Evaluation begins again at the beginning of the list.
  4. Expressions that use the following points are associated with frames in a KILN STATUS frame container.
    Point ID Type Class
    HEAT201 Device Integer
    TREND Virtual BOOLEAN
    COOLDOWN Virtual BOOLEAN
  5. Expressions that are assigned to the six frames are as follows.
    Frame Expression
    1 COOL DOWN COOLDOWN EQ 1
    2 TREND TREND EQ 1
    3 READY HEAT201 LE 25
    4 RAMPING UP HEAT201 GE 25 AND HEAT201LT 85
    5 RUNNING HEAT201 GE 85 AND HEAT201 LT 140
    6 WARNING HEAT201 GE 140

    Result:

    The expressions direct frames to display as follows.

    • COOL DOWN instantly displays when the point ID COOLDOWN equals 1.
    • TREND displays when TREND equals 1 as long as COOLDOWN equals 0.
    • The frame in the remaining four frames displays when its associated expression evaluates to True as long as COOLDOWN and TREND equal 0.
