3.3 Screens

Screens contain objects that can be displayed for the operator in runtime. A screen can contain predefined objects, such as buttons or an alarm list. Pictures of physical objects, such a pump, connected to controller data, can also be included to be used for control and monitoring of the physical object.

Properties are defined for each screen.

Screens are edited in the desktop area and can be managed from:

Screen Name and Screen Title

All screens have unique names, visible e.g. in the Project Explorer and the

Navigation Manager. Names of all open screens are shown as tabs in the desktop area. The name of the current screen is displayed and can be changed in the Name group of the Home tab.

In runtime, the screen name is displayed together with the project title in the title bar as default. To display something other than the screen name, a screen title may be added in the Screen group on the General tab when the screen is selected.

If the project title on the Project tab is left empty, only the screen name or screen title is displayed.
