The Pump graphic is a More Layout process graphic used to display a mechanical pump with animated fan/blade movement.

Pump animation is controlled by the incoming input value. When the input value is above the configured low value, the pump can animate to show running or active behavior.

The Pump graphic can also display pipe input and output connections, making it useful for process-flow screens.

• Displaying pump status
• Showing pump running or stopped behavior
• Creating process-flow displays
• Representing equipment in an operator screen
• Showing animated process movement
• Building pump, pipe, and equipment layouts

Pump accepts input through valueInput.

The input can come from a data source, Constant, or another logic component.

Numeric input controls the pump animation behavior.

The input value is scaled between the configured Low Value and High Value.

Pump has no default output ports.

Pump is used as an animated display graphic.

Pump displays a pump body with animated fan/blade movement.

Pump-specific settings include:

• Name Sets the name of the Pump graphic.
• Base Controls whether the Pump has a base and where the base is drawn.
• Shading Detail Controls the amount of shading detail used for the pump body and pipe shading.
• Fan Direction Controls whether the fan animation moves forward or reverse.
• Fan Color Sets the color of the fan blades.
• Fan Segments Sets the number of fan blades.
• High Value Sets the high end of the input range.
• Low Value Sets the low end of the input range.
• Pipe Input Controls where the input pipe is drawn.
• Pipe Output Controls where the output pipe is drawn.
• Shading Inside Off Sets the inside shading color when the Pump is off.
• Shading Inside On Sets the inside shading color when the Pump is on.
• Shading Outside Sets the outside shading color for the pump body and pipe areas.
• Speed Selects the animation speed range.
• Fan Stop at Min Controls whether the fan stops at the minimum value.
• Use Color Controls whether incoming server colors are used for the active display.
• Bad Qual. Indicator Controls the indicator used when bad quality data is received.
• Bezel Sets the bezel style.
• Bezel Color Sets the outside bezel color.
• Bezel Inside Color Sets the inside bezel color.
• Bezel Thickness Sets the thickness of the bezel.
• Fan Size Sets the fan blade size relative to the pump body.
• Cursor Sets the cursor shown when the pointer is over the Pump.
• Rotation Sets the Pump rotation.
• Click Action Defines a click action.
• Click Count Sets the number of clicks used for the click action.
• Visible Controls whether the Pump is shown.
• Warning Qual. Indicator Controls the indicator used when warning or transitional quality data is received.

In the Logic Editor, Pump includes this default port:

• valueInput

The valueInput port updates the Pump animation behavior from a data source, Constant, or another logic component.

Pump uses the incoming value to control whether the pump is running and how the fan/blade animation behaves.

The Low Value and High Value properties define the input range used for scaling.

The Speed property selects the animation speed range.

The Fan Direction property controls the direction of fan/blade movement.

The Fan Stop at Min property controls whether the fan stops when the input is at the minimum value.

Pump can display input and output pipe connection points.

The Pipe Input property controls where the input pipe is drawn.

The Pipe Output property controls where the output pipe is drawn.

These settings help align the Pump graphic with pipe graphics in a process-flow layout.

Use Pump when an application needs an animated pump-style equipment display.

Use Fan for a fan-style process graphic.

Use Chaser for a simpler animated motion or flow display.
