Left Bottom Elbow Pipe

Left bottom elbow pipe SCADA symbol

The Left bottom elbow pipe widget represents a 90-degree elbow fitting that connects a horizontal pipe from the left to a vertical pipe going downward. It visualizes fluid presence, flow state, direction, and leak conditions based on real-time HMI Device data.

This widget belongs to the Traditional SCADA fluid system bundle — a collection of pipe segments, fittings, valves, pumps, and gauges designed for building fluid system diagrams on iRis Cloud dashboards. It connects to a HMI Device and reflects real-time fluid state through its SCADA symbol.

  • Visualize fluid presence and flow state in real time.
  • Animate fluid flow in either direction at configurable speed.
  • Indicate leak conditions on the pipe.
  • Apply custom colors to fluid and pipe elements independently.
  • Receive state data from HMI Device attributes, time series, alarm status, or dashboard state.

The widget connects to a single data source: either a Device or an Entity alias that resolves to a HMI Device. This HMI Device provides the telemetry or attribute values used to drive the widget’s visual state.

The SCADA symbol defines the visual shape of the widget. Each pipe widget has a pre-selected symbol from the Traditional SCADA fluid system bundle. To use a different symbol, click Browse SCADA symbol from gallery and choose one from the library, or upload your own.

Behavior parameters define what the widget displays, driven by real-time data from the connected HMI Device. Each parameter supports the same set of actions — see Behavior configuration for the full list.

ParameterDefaultValuesDescription
Fluid presenceAbsentPresent, AbsentWhether fluid is present in the pipe.
Flow presenceAbsentPresent, AbsentWhether fluid is flowing through the pipe.
Flow directionForwardForward, ReverseDirection of the fluid flow animation.
Flow animation speed1numberSpeed of the flow animation. 1 is normal speed, 0 disables animation, < 1 - slower animation, > 1 - faster animation.
LeakFalseTrue, FalseWhether a leak is present on the pipe.

To configure a parameter, click its edit icon. When Action is set to Do nothing, the Value options depend on which parameter you are configuring:

ParameterValue
Fluid presencePresent or Absent
Flow presencePresent or Absent
Flow directionForward or Reverse
Flow animation speedAny number — 1 for normal speed, 0 to stop, < 1 - slower animation, > 1 - faster animation.
LeakTrue or False

For all other actions, the configuration dialog works the same way regardless of which parameter you are editing:

  • Get attribute

    Read the parameter value from a HMI Device attribute.

    ParameterDescription
    Attribute scopeWhere the attribute is stored: Any, Client, Server, or Shared.
    Attribute keyAttribute name to read, like state or flowActive.
    Action result converterNone — parameter is activated when the attribute equals the value you specify; Function — parameter is activated when your f(data) returns true.
    ’[parameter]’ when result isThe value or condition that activates this parameter.
  • Get time series

    Read the parameter value from the latest telemetry reading.

    ParameterDescription
    Time series keyTelemetry key to monitor, like flowState or leakSensor.
    Action result converterNone — parameter is activated when the telemetry value equals what you specify; Function — parameter is activated when your f(data) returns true.
    ’[parameter]’ when result isThe value or condition that activates this parameter.
  • Get alarm status

    Activate the parameter when a specific alarm is active on the HMI Device.

    ParameterDescription
    Alarm severityWhich severity levels trigger the active state: Critical, Major, Minor, Warning, or Indeterminate.
    Alarm typesAny alarm, or a specific alarm type.
  • Get dashboard state id

    Activate the parameter based on which dashboard state is currently open.

    ParameterDescription
    Action result converterNone — parameter is activated when the state name matches the text you enter; Function — parameter is activated when your f(data) returns true.
    ’[parameter]’ when result isThe state name or condition that activates this parameter.
  • Get dashboard state object

    Activate the parameter using the full dashboard state context; use this when you need to evaluate multiple state parameters at once.

    ParameterDescription
    Parse value functionWrite a f(data) function that returns true to activate this parameter.

Widget shows no fluid state or incorrect state

CauseSolution
Action is set to Do nothingOpen the parameter edit dialog, set the correct Action, and specify the attribute or time-series key.
Attribute or telemetry key mismatchVerify that the key name in the behavior configuration matches exactly what the HMI Device reports.
Target HMI Device is not connectedConfirm that the selected HMI Device is online and actively sending data.

Flow animation does not play

CauseSolution
Flow animation speed is 0Set Flow animation speed to a non-zero value (e.g. 1 for normal speed).
Flow presence is AbsentConfigure the Flow presence behavior to read from the HMI Device and verify the HMI Device reports an active flow state.
