Rotary Slider A Rotary Slider provides an analog representation of the value of a variable or
direct address in a PLC by drawing a knob on a circular dial whose position is
proportional to the value as a percentage of its range in engineering units. The size
of the circular dial (degrees sweep of a circle) and knob color can be set. With a
mouse, a user can change the position of the knob and cause a new value to be
sent to the PLC.
