  1. Hi xsienix, I'm not sure what you are ultimately trying to achieve? The action of turning the traffic light ON/OFF can be setup without the use of Cicode. You can create a Button that toggles a bit. That bit is then used to change the symbol state (eg the "On" symbol is shown, and then the "Off" symbol is shown, depending on the bit state). It's been a while since I last used CitectSCADA, but there is a "Toggle(bit)" command that can be directly tied to a pushbutton action. If you are determined to use Cicode, then the cicode function can directly access normal tags without having to pass them as arguments.   Hope that helps.
  2. Hi XSIENIX, This exercise is not complicated. Regardless of the CitectSCADA version, the execution is the same. The only thing that could be difficult is if you are not connected to a PLC. CitectSCADA comes with standard symbols, one of which is "Lights". The "buttons" objects is also self explanatory, and straight-forward to configure. You might like to provide more detail about your situation, eg, How familiar are you with CitectSCADA? Do you know how to create a page in "Graphic Builder" and add objects? Can you compile and run project? Regards, Paul.
  3. Omron NA panels

    Hi IO_Rack, What you say is true. It is also true that my interest is in one of the motors. I copied (Vectored) this OMRON Sysmac Studio toolbox standard motor into a graphic package, and found that it was made up of a lot of individual components, and has too many colour ranges to make it practical to edit and port back into the Sysmac Studio HMI project. What I was hoping, was for somebody with more experience than me, to give me guidance in a quicker method that would still give me an image that was of reasonable quality, and looked like a 3D motor in 3D.
  4. For the purpose of object animation, I created a Subroutine in "Global Subroutines" that simply toggles a NA internal bit variable. In "Gobal Events" I've created an event that cycles (Interval) every 200 milliseconds to run the bit toggle subroutine. I then use this NA internal bit to change a number of image visibility states to give the impression of fans turning, or pump pistons moving.
  5. Omron NA panels

    This question is only applicable to the current NA series of Omron HMI/operator touch panels. I'm trying to find a way in Sysmac Studio - Standard Edition V1.3 to control the colour change of toolbox items like pipes and motors. To date I've only found how to make these things turn invisible or move around the screen; not change colour.
