The SegmentBar control element displays vertically arranged segments whose fill colour represents the linked numerical value of a process variable, as well as a scale with scale values. The SegmentBar is used, for example, to display an energy value.

The segments (blue) of the SegmentBar control element represent the current value of the connected process variables.

The control element supports the following functionality:

Connection to an analogue process variable(integer value/floating point value) for the data source
Display of scale values
Limitation of the displayable value range
Representation of the segments
Display of the current value and the unit in a display for value and unit
Display of the background, the frame, the shadow, etc.
Color display of the background, frame, text, etc., also depending on the status of the control element

The SegmentBar is available in the following styles: Lenze.Default, LenzeCyan.Default, Custom.Default.
