Introduction to <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Components</strong> 2.3<br />

Both of these possibilities can also be used together.<br />

4.3.3.1 Several Software Objects and One Panel<br />

Several software objects can exist for one panel in an AS project. These software objects can be created as<br />

described in Inserting a Panel Object.<br />

Only the software object which is assigned to a display is executed on the target system. The object which is not<br />

used should be disabled.<br />

As shown below, the 'vis_al' software object is assigned to the display panel. This object is executed on the<br />

target system after it is downloaded.<br />

Reassignment in the selection list could also cause the 'vis_al1' object to be executed for a certain machine<br />

type.<br />

The first 6 characters of a panel object name must be different from all other object names in the project. This<br />

applies when several panel objects are managed within a project.<br />

4.3.3.2 Several Software Objects and Several Panels<br />

An AS project can also consist of several objects which are executed on different hardware. Possible examples<br />

of this might include:<br />

• Automation Runtime CPU with a VGA display visualization device and remote CAN panels<br />

• Automation Runtime CPU with several CAN panels<br />

The following consists of a VGA display, a 2x20 character CAN display (4B1270), and a 16x40 character CAN<br />

display.<br />

This view illustrates the complexity of possible <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Components</strong> solutions.<br />

It allows a wide range of applications. This is how CAN panels can be used for temporary service purposes. For<br />

example, accessing the same variable base allows options to be enabled with a CAN panel.<br />
