I have a valve in Wonderware that I’d like to
change colors within a certain range.

This is a Analog value, so what I like to
do is the following

1. Have the valve change to a yellow color
when it’s traveling from 1-99 %

2. Have the valve change to red color when
it’s closed 0%

3. Have the valve change to green color when
it’s fully open at 100%

How would I go about configuring
This in Wonderware to accomplish this?

I do appreciate the help!
Thanks
 
I don't know anything about WW, but one potential option it have three valve symbols all stacked on top of each other. The three symbols would all read 3 different bool values and have their on colors be red, yellow, green.
In your PLC, you would could use compare instructions to turn on individual bool bits.

--------ValvePOS|<| 1-----------------------(ON RED)

--------ValvePos|>=| 1 ------ValvePOS|<=|99--(ON YELLOW)

--------ValvePOS|>|99-------------------------(ON GREEN)
 
At least for InTouch versions 9 & 10, double click the object you want to change. You should get a pop up box for the object. Fill color should be a section. Choose analog and you will see a box for expression. That could be as simple as one tag or you could do some math and use individual bits of an integer.

You can define break points between up to 10 different colors. For less than 10 different colors, choose the same color multiple times or make some break points outside the range of your data.

Not all objects can use all choices. Text doesn’t do fill color but any circle or polygon can.

If you hold a keyboard shift button while you mouse click, you won’t accidentally move your object.
