Hello Deckard78, what do you think about using customized object? How can you effectively configure Customized Objects? Especially 2. Using Status Display as preferred means of animation of graphical objects could be helpful for you. Best regards Bizur |

I would not recommend customized object for this because often Rotation Reference X, Rotation Reference Y & Rotation Angle properties are missing there. I would draw each blade of the fan in it's rest position (each as a polygon). Afterwards, you can play with Rotation Reference X, Rotation Reference Y & Rotation Angle properties of each blade to rotate them simultaneously (playing with a tag containing system time seconds works well for this). |

Or you can try to insert an animated GIF. Never tried it but I think it should work |

In an older project, I had rotating blades and static blades on top of eachother. A binary tag showed on of those depending on its state. For the rotating blades, I used an internal tag based on the "System Info" channel, in which I created a tag "SYSINFO_Seconds" (see attached zip). On each blade of the rotating blades object, I made the rotation angle dynamic with formula 'SYSINFO_Seconds' * 45 (with Data type = Direct). Hope this explains. On a recent project, I use another method which you can find in the WinCC demo project, it uses an animation trigger combined with Tooltip Text property to rotate. Brgds.
