FactoryTalk View ME - Horizontal Positioning not working ?

[Rob S.]

Good Afternoon ,

I have a scraper on a machine that I would like to display it's position on a Panelview Plus. The scraper position is sending a 4-20 ma signal into a analog input card. The operator cannot physically see the position , so I would like to display it on the screen. I am just using a rectangle to try the horizontal positioning . I selected .....

Tag's Min & Max and I set the pixel offset at Min and Max from 0 - 165.
The tag I have attached is Scraper Position. It is a REAL number. I also did it with a DINT. When I do a test run ,I keep getting "Unable to Animate Polygon"

Within the expression , I can use just a tag ,correct ? The value in the position is from 1.213 to -.250

What could I be doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance ,

Could you post a snapshot of the animation settings?

A common mistake is leaving the Tag Min Max setting in the "Use tag's min and max property value" setting when using direct tags. Doing so will cause that exact error.

You must manually specify the min and max or read the min and max from tags.

p.s. also so important to post the full error message

Thanks. That is probably it , I hope. I didn't post the entire message because it was too long to be within the message bar.
