SEM610 – Automation Studio Training and Workshop: Integrated Visualization

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

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

The Visual Components control elements can be combined to create to design more complex elements for an HMI application. Multiple programming interfaces extend the functionality of the integrated HMI system.

Learning objectives and content

• Exercises in animating graphics
• Optimizing the display and appearance of an HMI application
• Exercises in data entry and touch operation
• Using the VISAPI programming interface
• Examples and exercises
• Proposed solutions and procedure guides
