Set Color


Control microblock

The Set Color microblock defines a color (white, gray, or red) for a control program that does not use a Zone Setpoint or Set Color If True microblock. This microblock is used so the control program displays a color in WebCTRL indicating its status.

For example, this microblock can be used to generate a color for a piece of equipment depending on its status: white if the equipment is running, gray if the equipment is not running, and red if an alarm condition exists for the equipment.

NOTE  Do not use the Set Color microblock in combination with any Zone Setpoint or Set Color If True microblocks in the same control program. There cannot be more than one Set Color microblock in a control program.

When the microblock's alrm input receives an on signal, the control program's broadcast color is red, regardless of the value of the run input. When the alrm input is off and the run input is on, the control program's broadcast color is white. If both inputs are off, the control program's broadcast color is gray.

NOTE  Alt+click any value in WebCTRL to view property details, including its expression and editing privilege.
