Animations

An animation is inSCADA’s visualisation component. It is built from an SVG file: objects inside the SVG are bound to variables, and the screen updates in real time as those values change.

Building a screen takes two steps: first you create the drawing — in the platform’s own designer, from a template, or by uploading an SVG prepared elsewhere — then you bind behaviour to individual objects. Binding needs no code: you click an object on the screen and choose a type and an expression.

The screens in this section

Screen	What it does
Animation	Creates the screen, uploads the SVG and binds behaviour to objects

Where to go next

If you are building a screen from scratch, the Animation page covers the process end to end.

If you are looking for how a particular binding is configured — changing colour, a bar, rotation, a click — each type has its own page; the table on the Animation page links to all of them.

If you want to reuse one screen across several pieces of equipment, see Faceplate.
