The INDUSTRIAL_LED user control in EOS SCADA allows
images selected from a library containing thousands of industrial shapes to be used
on SCADA screens.
With the shape library, visual representations of many types of industrial equipment,
such as pumps, valves, motors, generators, circuit breakers, and similar equipment,
can be easily added to screens. The selected shapes can be used in different states
depending on data values.
INDUSTRIAL_LED Shape Library
Clearly displaying process equipment on SCADA screens is important for enabling operators
to quickly and accurately assess the system.
The INDUSTRIAL_LED user control is a dedicated user control that enables
industrial shapes to be used on SCADA screens for this purpose.
Users can select images from the shape library through the
LibrarySelectedImage and DefaultLibraryImage properties
available within the control.
Primary purpose of the shape library:
To enable industrial equipment images to be quickly and easily selected from a
predefined library for use on SCADA screens.
The selected shapes do not have to be used only as static images. By associating them with
the data levels defined in INDUSTRIAL_LED, different shapes can be displayed for different
process states.
Shape Selection Properties
The relevant properties of the INDUSTRIAL_LED user control must be used to select shapes
from the shape library.
DefaultLibraryImage
Used to define the default shape of the INDUSTRIAL_LED user control.
LibrarySelectedImage
Enables the shape to be selected from the library for use according to the data levels.
This allows the user to define a default shape for the overall appearance of the control,
while also defining independently the shapes to be displayed at different data levels.
Selecting a Shape from the Library
The following steps should be followed to assign one of the shapes available in the library
to an INDUSTRIAL_LED user control.
-
Select the INDUSTRIAL_LED control.
In the SCADA Editor, select the INDUSTRIAL_LED user control for which the shape will
be selected.
-
Select the control using the SHIFT key.
To access the shape properties, hold down the SHIFT key on the
keyboard and left-click the INDUSTRIAL_LED user control.
-
Open the Properties list.
After the user control is selected, the properties of the INDUSTRIAL_LED control will
be listed on the left side of the screen.
-
Select the default shape.
To change the default shape of the control, left-click the
DefaultLibraryImage property.
-
Select the data-level shape.
To change the shape used at a specific data level, left-click the
LibrarySelectedImage property corresponding to that level.
-
Open the shape selection window.
The shape selection window will open after clicking the relevant property.
Searching and Filtering the Shape Library
When the shape selection window is opened, the user can search among the shapes available
in the library.
Shapes belonging to a specific category can be displayed using the filter options
available in the library. In addition, the user can enter a search term to search within
shape names.
-
Specify a filter or search term.
Use the filter fields in the shape selection window or enter the desired search term
in the search field.
-
Click the FILTER button.
Click the FILTER button to apply the entered filter or search
criteria.
-
Review the results list.
After filtering, shapes matching the specified criteria will be displayed in the list
in the lower section.
Example:
If the user is looking for a motor shape, they can enter
MOTOR in the search field and click the FILTER
button. Shapes whose names or descriptions match the search criteria will then be
listed, making it easier to find the appropriate image.
Applying the Selected Shape
Once a suitable shape has been found in the search results, it must be selected and applied
to assign it to the INDUSTRIAL_LED user control.
-
Select the shape.
Click the shape you want to use from the list displayed in the lower section.
-
Click the APPLY button.
Click the APPLY button to assign the selected shape to the
INDUSTRIAL_LED user control.
-
Verify the shape selection.
After the selection is completed, the selected shape will be assigned to the relevant
INDUSTRIAL_LED property.
Note:
The same shape selection window can be used both to define the default appearance of
the control and to assign shapes specific to individual data levels.
Canceling Shape Selection
If the user does not want to make any shape changes or wants to cancel the operation in the
opened selection window, the CANCEL button can be used.
Clicking the CANCEL button closes the shape selection window and ends the
operation without applying the selection.
CAUTION:
If a shape is being selected for different data levels, verify which
LibrarySelectedImage property the selection is being applied to.
The default shape and data-level-specific shapes are managed through different
properties.
Using Shapes Specific to Data Levels
One of the important features of the INDUSTRIAL_LED user control is the ability to use
different shapes for different process states.
For example, to indicate the operating state of equipment, one shape can be defined for
the normal state, another shape while the equipment is running, and a different shape for
a fault condition.
Within this structure, the shape to be displayed at each data level can be selected from
the shape library using the LibrarySelectedImage property associated with
that level.
Usage Example:
- Normal operation → Standard motor shape
- Running → Rotating motor shape
- Warning → Motor shape with warning indicator
- Fault → Motor shape indicating a fault condition
This enables the operator to understand the operating state of the equipment not only
from the color of the shape, but also directly from the shape itself.
Using Shapes Outside the Library
INDUSTRIAL_LED is not limited to images in the built-in shape library. When necessary, the
user can also use an image prepared by the user or obtained from another source in the
user control.
If a shape from the library is to be selected, LibrarySelectedImage or
DefaultLibraryImage can be used for the default shape.
Alternatively, if an external image file is to be used, the
ImageFileName property can be used.
This allows the INDUSTRIAL_LED user control to support both the rapid use of predefined
industrial shapes and the integration of project-specific images into the SCADA screen.
The EOS SCADA INDUSTRIAL_LED user control enables a large number of industrial shapes that
can be used on SCADA screens to be selected quickly and conveniently.
The filtering features in the shape selection window make it possible to search through the
extensive shape library and quickly locate the required image.
The DefaultLibraryImage property can be used to define the default shape
of the control, while the LibrarySelectedImage property allows shapes to
be selected independently for different data levels.
This structure enables the INDUSTRIAL_LED user control to function not merely as an image
display tool, but as a dynamic industrial indicator that visually represents the status of
real-time SCADA data.
