Creating the Main Screen
This screen will always be opened when the application is started. Save the Standard screen as
Main.scr using File | Save As… . The Standard screen still exists and will be used as the template
for all of the other screens as well.
In this main screen now you will:
• Display the properties of the tanks (temperature, pressure and level) graphically and
numerically.
• Display the state of the valves using color (red = closed, green = open).
• Give commands to open or close each valve.
Note: Since the three tanks have the exact same characteristics, we will build just one screen that
is generic for any tank in our application. To switch to a different tank, we will simple change the
index of the tags in the array used in our configuration.
The individual objects that make up the tank and plumbing graphics (the arrows, valves, pipes,
and tank) are taken from the preconfigured objects in the InduSoft Web Studio Library. To access
the symbol Library, right-click the Library folder in the Graphics tab of the Workspace window
and select Open, select the
View | Library.
Open Library button on the Standard toolbar, or select
The two large arrows can be found on the arrows screen (selected in the right pane of the Library
window), the two pipes are from the pipes screen, the tank is from the tanks screen, and the arrow
buttons are from the buttons screen, and the indicator is from the frames screen. To move the
objects from the Library to your Main screen, keep the Library window at its default size so that
you can see the Main screen behind it, select the correct page, scroll to the desired object, and
click-and-drag it from the Library to the screen. When you are done, close the Library window.
Then rearrange the Library objects (you may need to resize the length of the pipes) on the screen
so that their arrangement resembles that of the final screen:
