HMI update 12/1/2013

Yesterday, a new version of the HMI was released that includes three new script functions.

ODBCDataLoggerDelete

This function is used to delete all the records of the table. The data logger appends a record to the table when the preset timer expires or a “log” command is called. The table can become very large. This allows the table to be emptied on command.

AcknowledgePointAlarm

The HMI has a global “Acknowledge” command. Also, the alarm panel graphic has a “Page Acknowledge” button. Now a single point alarm can be acknowledged via scripting. When an alarm row is selected, via the alarm panel, the point tagname and alarm type are now available to the scripting engine, allowing actions to be programmed based on the point tagname and/or the alarm type.

SetAlarmPoints

This function provides for “set points” of the analog point alarms, to be altered at runtime. Two methods are provided to alter a "setpoint". The HMI can be instructed to use the value of another point or via a value defined by the user.


Earlier this month we released an 800+ page manual for the HMI. The link to download the manual is on our website.
