Visual Components is a powerful yet versatile tool within Automation Studio for designing dynamic HMI applications that allow operators to clearly and intuitively view even the most complex real-life industrial processes in graphic form. A visual editor and rich selection of pre-designed controls open up virtually unlimited design possibilities.

Objectives and content

• Introduction to Visual Components
• Creating an initial visualization application
• Working with the Visual Components editor
• Workspace, visualization structure and help system
• Creating your own visualization application
• Managing variables and data points
• The layering method when designing pages
• Displaying and entering process values
• Creating static and dynamic text
• Language and unit switching
• Touch and keypad operation
• Using graphic objects

An HMI application is designed for a defined purpose and user group. As a result, there are guidelines that must be followed during development in order for the defined purpose to be fulfilled.

Learning objectives and content

• Project phases and specification
• Visualization templates
• Operating concepts and user-oriented development
• Variables, data points and data management
• Runtime behavior and integration in the controller
• Integrated diagnostics and service options
• Service, modifications and maintenance
• Documentation and project sharing

A central aspect of a visualization application is how it displays process values, messages and information about the machine status. Other important functions of a visualization application include displaying alarm lists, trend curves and diagnostic data.

Objectives and content

• Definition of alarm, message and warning
• Setting up and displaying alarms during runtime
• Interacting with the alarm system
• Bit and value alarms
• Acknowledging and recording alarms
• Configuring the trend system
• Displaying online trends
• Interacting with the trend system
• Integrating the System Diagnostics Manager into a visualization application
• Runtime display
• Interaction with the System Diagnostics Manager
