The following table shows common category properties.

Property

Description

Data Symbol

A PLC FB (the MTP Specification compatible or user custom) to be bound to the control.

Data

Data to use for object. This property is not used if the Data Symbol property is configured. It allows a structure of properties which corresponds the structure of standard MTP DataObjects to be configured and these properties can then be set or bound separately.

Graphic Status

Variable that defines the graphics state, i.e., default, active, warning, error. If the behavior of the control from the Graphic Status is different from the ProcessObject, see the control's description for the appropriate values. If the behavior is the same as it is for ProcessObject, the Graphic Status property isn’t mentioned for the control in its description.

Graphic Control

The path to the custom graphical representation (a UserControl with possible parameters that can be evaluated) of the control instead of the one taken from the Data Symbol property.

Custom Units

Variable that defines a correspondence between integer values and names of non-standard engineering units. If it contains the match for the number from the standard, it is used and prioritized over the standard one.

In addition to Graphic Status the behavior for ProcessObject is shown with a drive example:
