A picture ring is what you need.

I haven't used it yet, but I think the easy way would be to place a animated gif in there.

You can take a boolean control and customize the same.

1) create a new custom control

2) Place a boolean control/indicator

3) click on "edit->import picture from file" (motor not running picture) from the menu

4)Paste this imported image to the "False" case of the boolean by right clicking and selecting "import picture from clipboard->False" from the pop up menu

5)Repeat the 3 and 4 for the motor running picture
