Positions

Setting	Type	Default	Description
RFID reader position (%) rfidPosition	Number (-1–100)	-1	The RFID reader's position along the lane, 0–100 %. -1 is the automatic layout. Works with the same ratio in the long and compact views.
Barcode reader position (%) barcodePosition	Number (-1–100)	-1	The barcode reader's position along the lane, 0–100 %. -1 is the automatic layout. Works with the same ratio in the long and compact views.
Trigger 1 position (%) trigger1Position	Number (-1–100)	-1	The first photo-eye's position along the lane, 0–100 %. -1 is the automatic layout. Works with the same ratio in the long and compact views.
Trigger 2 position (%) trigger2Position	Number (-1–100)	-1	The second photo-eye's position along the lane, 0–100 %. -1 is the automatic layout. Works with the same ratio in the long and compact views.
Laser scanner position (%) picoScanPosition	Number (-1–100)	-1	The laser scanner's position along the lane, 0–100 %. -1 is the automatic layout. Works with the same ratio in the long and compact views.

Readers

Setting	Type	Default	Description
RFID reader 1 connected rfidConnected	Checkbox	On	RFID reader communication state. When off the device is grey and dashed and its field is hidden.
RFID reader 1 read result rfidResult	Selection	idle	Idle, Reading, Good read, No read or Rejected (read but not allowed at this door or room). Tag values 0/1/2/3/4 are accepted in the same order. Options: idle Idle, reading Reading, good Good read, noRead No read, rejected Rejected
RFID reader 1 fault rfidFault	Checkbox	Off	RFID reader fault. Shows a red lamp and a blinking warning on the device.
RFID reader 2 connected rfid2Connected	Checkbox	On	Communication state of the second RFID reader (below the lane on a read point, right of the door on a cold room). When off the device is grey and its field is hidden.
RFID reader 2 read result rfid2Result	Selection	idle	Idle, Reading, Good read, No read or Rejected (read but not allowed at this door or room). Tag values 0/1/2/3/4 are accepted in the same order. Options: idle Idle, reading Reading, good Good read, noRead No read, rejected Rejected
RFID reader 2 fault rfid2Fault	Checkbox	Off	Fault of the second RFID reader. Shows a red lamp and a blinking warning on the device.
Barcode reader connected barcodeConnected	Checkbox	On	Barcode reader communication state. When off the device is grey and its field is hidden.
Barcode read result barcodeResult	Selection	idle	Idle, Reading, Good read, No read or Rejected (read but not allowed at this door or room). Tag values 0/1/2/3/4 are accepted in the same order. Options: idle Idle, reading Reading, good Good read, noRead No read, rejected Rejected

Setting	Type	Default	Description
Trigger 1 active trigger1Active	Checkbox	Off	The first photo-eye beam is blocked (object present). The beam turns solid orange.
Trigger 1 fault trigger1Fault	Checkbox	Off	Trigger fault, for example a sensor stuck active. The beam blinks red and a warning is shown. Detect the fault in the PLC or an expression.
Trigger 2 active trigger2Active	Checkbox	Off	The second photo-eye beam is blocked (object present). The beam turns solid orange.
Trigger 2 fault trigger2Fault	Checkbox	Off	Trigger fault, for example a sensor stuck active. The beam blinks red and a warning is shown. Detect the fault in the PLC or an expression.

Laser scanner object detected picoScanActive	Checkbox	Off	The laser scanner detected an object in its scan field; the field turns orange.
Laser scanner fault picoScanFault	Checkbox	Off	Laser scanner fault, for example a dirty window or permanent detection. The field blinks red.

Readout

Setting	Type	Default	Description
Last passage direction lastDirection	Selection	none	Direction of the last pallet passage: none, in (along the flow arrow) or out. Tag values 0/1/2 are accepted. The lane arrows turn blue for in and point back in orange for out. Options: none None, in In, out Out
In count inCount	Number (0–…)	0	Number of pallets passing in; bind it to a tag.
Out count outCount	Number (0–…)	0	Number of pallets passing out; bind it to a tag.
Last read code lastCode	Text	—	Last read barcode or RFID EPC; bind it to a tag.
Read count readCount	Number (0–…)	0	Number of read codes or tags; bind it to a tag.
Expected read count expectedCount	Number (0–…)	0	Expected number of tags or codes per pallet. Above 0 the counter shows read/expected; orange when they differ, green when equal.
Play animation play	Checkbox	On	Allows animations such as rotation, belt movement and blinking. They also pause while the browser tab is hidden or the system asks for reduced motion.

Other settings

Setting	Type	Default	Description
Enable Flashing enableFlashing	Checkbox	Off	Makes the widget blink (an opacity pulse every second). Usually bound to an alarm condition.
Log Button logButton	Checkbox	Off	At runtime shows a chart icon when hovering the widget; clicking it adds the Tags bound to the widget to the log Tag list.
