Hello. I have a trouble... I have made vizualization and for dynamic motion i used simulateTag event, but... i need that animation only for certain moments, not only when window is loaded. How can I start simulateTag event and stop when i needed ? Thanks.

 Dear DariusB,

You can do one thing that you can have a bit set whenever you want to start the motion of the object in the screen and when you want to stop you can reset that bit 

The logic behind it you write to increment the tag that is responsible to move the object, hopwe this helps

Hello,

you can also use the WinCC Tag Simulator see Screenshot.

 For me, the best option is simulate with PLCSIM. With the new version, now you can use MPI/Profibus or TCP/IP for your CPU.

Oh...wrong section...i'm using wincc TIA PORTAL (please move this thread where it should be). I think my problem is not clear to you. Let's say in main screen there are 10 moving arrows which should start to move when tag arrow1_anim...arrow10_anim are set. Now all arrows are moving using SimulateTag event when main screen is loaded (without setting arrow1_anim or other tag). So i need to animate arrow only when i need, not always when screen is loaded. I think SimulateTag script with "start" flag would be great. 

 Yes you have to use vbs to start and stop the execution whenever you need the simulate  the tag

Maybe you can give example how to start SimulateTag event using script ? There is no SimulateTag in the list of system functions..

 Sorry DariusB

I want to correct that this event "Simulate tag" can only be applied to the screen load event and cant be used in VB script but if you want to do such a task then we can have some other way out I am currently doing work on it as i get ready i upload the backup for it

The way i am approaching i tell you that i will increment the tag value by some value say 5 for the motion on the particular axis the increment is done on 1 sec or 2 sec pulse and this whole thing will be only called when a bit is enable so we can fulfil the  task 

Hope it helps
