Hi

I have TP1500 panel and i want to animate a 'line' with tag.

I could not assign any tag to any property in properties list of a basic object. it seems that dynamization is restricted to 'Animations' Tab of objects. this is awful because it has a lot of shortcomings. for example animation tab of a 'Line' includes vertical, horizontal or diagonal movement tag assignment but you can not change line length or direction dynamically. I need this for my project so i tried to write script for change line start/end (x,y) properties, but it fails! there is no such properties available in VB script list of 'line' object.

attached picture shows tag assignment in property list of a circle in WinCC Advanced Help Document, but i try it in my PC WinCC TIA V13, the Dynamization column grayed out and could not be edited!!!

May be this is WinCC Comfort Panels short comes but if this is the answer, please clear me what is the improvement of comfort panel over older siblings multi panels. i have worked with MP377, i choose TP1500 as newer, better and more powerful big brother but the dream doesn't become true.

Could anyone help me please, Thanks a lot

Help please...

it seems that dynamization in properties works in WinCC TIA Professional  version, but i don't know if it works on comfort panels such as TP1500. wincc documents propose WinCC ADVANCED for programming comfort panels.

Hello mtb4outdoor,

here is an FAQ about how to dynamize objects in WinCC Comfort/Advanced using VB script:

• "How do you use scripts to dynamize objects in WinCC Comfort and WinCC Advanced?"
  https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/53752382

It's an FAQ I like very much personally, because it was my entry into VBS for WinCC TIA Portal.

(If you search for it in the forum you can find a list of more FAQs about VBS which I posted several times - if you're interested.)

Here is the manual page with the list of all the object types. For each object type you'll find the dynamizable properties.
Be aware that some properties are not read and writable and that there are differences for the runtimes (A=RT Advanced (and Comfort), P = RT Professional)

Here is the page for the "Line" object type: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109091876/36127458059

You can dynamize the starting position if the line object (left = x, top = y), but you can't rotate it (only in RT Prof). I'm not sure if top and kleft refere to the starting point of the line or of the "invisible rectangle" around the object.I guess with width and height you should be able to change the length of the line. I can't test it at the moment.
