Two levels in one Tank

[jmichalec]

Hi I have a two liquids in one tank.

How to display two levels in one tank with two different colors for each liquid?

This is my first project.

Thank you.

Just place two different bar graphs on top of the tank graphic, side-by-side, or whatever configuration pleases you.

Thank you for response.

I have a tank with oil and water on the bottom of the tank.

The bottom of oil level is changing with water level.

Well, that's a distinctly more challenging problem and will require some ladder logic to work. You'll need to understand the maximum and minimum levels that are possible with the water and oil. Then, I would place two bar graphs immediately one above the other with the water & oil colors on the bottom graph and the oil and empty space colors on the top graph. This will not work if both water and oil can independently range from 0% to 100% of the tank volume.

 

If the above won't work and you can illustrate with, say, 20% steps, then you can generate 25 bitmaps with all the possible combinations and select them with "List of Images by Pointer".

 

Maybe there's a better way, but that's what I have to offer off the top of my head.

I have uploaded a demonstration program on at least one way to show two tank levels in a single tank space they way you want.  The program is competely simulated but you will be able to get the idea of what needs to be done.
