If you need to change the color depending on several tags, you need to use scripts. For example, you have a Motor object that has 2 parameters - State and Speed, and you want to use fill color depending on the State and Speed values:

 

 

1. Create tags: Speed (set the data type - Short(16bit), initial PV - 0) and State (set the data type - Byte(8bit), initial PV - 0):

 

 

2. Let’s create a graphical object - Motor for our example:

 

 

3. Create a script with the name stMotorFill, type - Object and execution type - OnDataChange:

 

 

4. Let's write the script::

 

After you have recorded the script, be sure to launch it by clicking the button on the toolbar:

 

5. Now let’s bind the script to our Motor object, go to the object’s properties (General tab) and add our script to the “Scripts” field:

 

 

 

6. Let's Run simulation to check the settings:
