Configuring and Starting Display Variants

Note

Kann auch veraltet sein Example of visualization customization for different devices like monitors or tablets

You can select from different variants for displaying your visualization created in CODESYS. An advantage is that you can have not only one, but multiple display variants running at the same time. During this time, the contents of the visualization are the same for all variants. This also applies to the integrated visualization: when the visualization editor is open in CODESYS, the visualization is also displayed there with the same active contents.

. The following object types are available:

TargetVisu
The display as a variant of CODESYS TargetVisu is possible one time. You can insert an object of this type below the Visualization Manager.
WebVisu
The display as a variant of CODESYS WebVisu is possible any number of times. You can insert any number of objects.
Remote TargetVisu
The display as a variant of CODESYS TargetVisu is possible any number of times. You can insert any number of objects.

When you insert a variant below the Visualization Manager, the task configuration is extended by the visualization task VISU_TASK (the flow unit of the visualizations). The task is automatically deleted when no more objects exist below the Visualization Manager or the objects below are excluded from compiling. You can set this in the Properties dialog of an object, on the Compile tab.

Tip

If no object is inserted below the Visualization Manager, then the visualization created there is displayed automatically as an integrated visualization when the application starts.
