Control Valve (Dynamic)Widget

Used by: Analog Status, Calculation, Analog Control, I/O and Calculations

* Can use properties from a Style Settings tag.

The Control Valve (Dynamic) widget is used to display a control valve image that changes color according to whether the valve is open or closed. It expects to be linked to a tag with a value that ranges from 0 to 100. The valve appears open when the link tag's value is greater than 95%, closed when it is less than 5%, and traveling otherwise. The colors are pre-configured and consistent with other Oil & Gas Solutions widgets. Note the existence of the tag, System Style O&G, for use by tags and widgets from the Oil and Gas Solutions layer.

Below the widget, a numeric value field will display the current value of the linked tag and below that will be text indicating whether the valve is open (non-zero) or closed (value of zero).
