Understanding MCGS Touch Screen Animation Effects – Horizontal Movement

The touch screen is currently the simplest and most convenient human-machine interaction method in automated production, providing the most intuitive effect display. Its rich animation effects attract many users. Today, I will introduce one of the MCGS touch screen animation effects – horizontal movement.

Understanding MCGS Touch Screen Animation Effects - Horizontal Movement

Horizontal movement is one of the most commonly used animation effects on touch screens. We will take the example of an object moving on a conveyor belt.

1
Open the user window, find “Insert Component” in the toolboxUnderstanding MCGS Touch Screen Animation Effects - Horizontal Movement, pull out a conveyor belt, then find “Common Symbols” in the toolboxUnderstanding MCGS Touch Screen Animation Effects - Horizontal Movement and pull out a cube to place on the conveyor belt, as shown in Figure 1-1.

In the “Horizontal Movement” property interface, define a data object “a” in the “Expression” field, set the “Minimum Movement Offset” to “0” and the “Maximum Movement Offset” to “200”, corresponding to the “Expression Value” divided into “0” and “100”, as shown in Figure 1-3. Click “Confirm”, and a prompt box will pop up as shown in Figure 1-4. Click “Yes”, and the “Data Object Property Settings” dialog will pop up. In the “Basic Properties” interface, select “Numeric” in the “Object Type”, and click “Confirm”, as shown in Figure 1-5.
