You can represent flowing water in WinCC using an animated polyline

For the sake of looks, a polygon pipe was added along each of the polylines and a valve placed at the beginning of the pipes. For optimum representation you should place the valve so that it overlaps 20 pixels of the polyline.

4 Change the following settings of both polylines:
Properties > Colors
Properties > Styles: Line thickness: 10, Line type: see Fig. 02

Properties > Other: Display: No
Properties > Display: Central color scheme: No, Object transparency: 50
5 Realizate the following Visual Basic Script
in the "Geometry > Current value X" property of the polyline01 object. Select the "Animation cycle" trigger.

Replace the value 40 with the X value of the first point of the polyline. To get this value you change the value under Object Properties > Geometry > Index to 1 and then read the "Current value X" value. Replace the value 58 with you X value + 18. This value depends on the line thickness (guideline value: 2 * line thickness - 2)

6 Create the following Visual Basic Script in the "Geometry > Current value Y" property of the polyline02 object. Select the "Animation cycle" trigger.
