Dynamos overview

Create a tank using a dynamo

Now you will add a tank that, in run mode, is supposed to show the level of the product in the tank by changing color. (This will not actually happen, since we do not have a working system with I/O.)

  1. First, close the PumpsAnim dynamo set by selecting and right-clicking PumpsAnim in the system tree, and then selecting Close.
  2. Double-click the TanksAnim1 dynamo set in the system tree to open the dynamo set.
  3. Drag the tank labeled TankWDoorD1 to your picture, placing it a little above the motor, as in the figure shown earlier.
  4. On the Tank Dynamo dialog, browse for the following tag for the tank level.

    LI-101/AI1/PV/CV

    The system automatically adds .F_CV as the field.

  5. In the Input Ranges group, select Fetch Limits from Data Source.
  6. Click OK.

    The tank is placed on the picture.

  7. Close the TanksAnim1 dynamo set.
