Deploying and configuring a Single-input Thermometer graphic component

You can create and deploy a Single-input Thermometer graphic component in the Graphics Editor, and then bind and view the graphic object in Building Operation Workstation.

To create the graphic component:

  1. Navigate to:
    <Extract path>\EBO Integration Files\Graphics Editor\Components\ and double-click the "PME- Generic Components" file. The new thermometer graphic component is added to the Building Operation Graphics Editor library.
  2. Open the Building Operation Graphics Editor.
  3. From the PME– Generic Components category at the left, drag the Setpoint Display Bar component onto a new page. The Single-input Thermometer bar component appears.

  1. Select the component. In the Properties pane at the lower right, change the parameter settings as needed (name, min/max, setpoint values, and so on). Make sure that the settings make logical sense (for example, all setpoints are within the min/max range and in the following order: SP4>SP3>SP2>SP1).
  2. Save the new graphic component page as a .tgml file.

To deploy the graphic component:

  1. Log in to Building Operation Workstation.
  2. In the System Tree, select a Server, and then choose File > New > Graphic, enter a name for the file, and click Create. The new graphic file name appears in the System Tree.

  1. In the System Tree, right-click the graphic file name and select Properties.
  2. In the Basic tab, click the button next to the File field and navigate to the .tgml file, select the file, click Open and then OK. The Single-input Thermometer bar now appears in the Building Operation Workstation.

  1. In the System Tree, select the Server, and then choose New > Value. The Create Object dialog appears.
  2. Select Analog Value and complete the fields for Name, Location, and Description as needed, and then click Create. The Analog Value now appears.
  3. Double-click the value name after adding it. Click the up or down arrows to select a number, and then click the Value button to select Forced or Force value for the object. Click Yes to save the object.
  4. To bind the graphic object to the value you just created, in the System Tree, right-click the graphic file name and select Properties.
  5. In the Bindings tab, enter the location of the graphic object in the object value field and click OK. The Single-input Thermometer bar now shows the preset setpoint values and bound values. The reading bar height and color change accordingly.

To verify the bind of the graphic component:

  1. In the System Tree, right-click on the new graphic file name and click Edit. The Graphics Editor opens.
  2. Revise some graphic component parameters (for example, min/max, setpoint values, or colors), save the file, and return to Building Operation Workstation. Your changes appear on the Graphics page in Building Operation Workstation.
