2. DC3S: Object Properties

Open an Object Properties dialog box for an object with an DC3S class ID.

The tabs in the Object dialog box are:

  • DC3S General.
  • DC3S HMI Properties.

DC3S General

The Object dialog box General tab provides data that precisely identifies the DC3S object.

Note: The Description field is the only Read/Write field on the General tab.

DC3S HMI Properties

Each PPS function block has HMI properties.

When an Object dialog box is opened for a selected object, the values for these properties:

  • Can be defined in the Object dialog box.
  • Will display on the faceplate when it is first opened and as long as they are not changed.
  • (Some properties) May  be changed by faceplate users who have a role with the required level.
