7.3.1 Switching between lineups
The Entellisys LVS Remote HMI lets you configure up to 25 lineups. Click on the select lineup
button (in HMI title bar) to view the dashboard screen as shown below. The name of the lineup
that the HMI is currently connected to will remain in the title bar until another lineup is selected.
Figure 7-4 Select Lineup Menu
The Dashboard displays all the configured lineups. To switch to a different lineup, simply click on
the Lineup.
Connecting to a lineup for the first time
The HMI will prompt to download files from the CPU for selected lineup and will display the
default HMI screen for that lineup. All subsequent connections to Lineup, the HMI will use the
local files stored on the HMI. The HMI will also prompt for a download if the CPU has been
updated from another HMI.
Offline HMIs
If the Remote HMI is off-line (See
), lineup communication is not tested.
However, the user can still add, edit, delete and switch between lineups. The HMI will use local
HMI files if available.
Communication status LED
While in the “Select Lineup” screen, the communication is tested for each of the configured
lineups and the status is indicated by the communication status LED according to colors below:
• Green - both CPUs are communicating with the HMI
• Yellow - only one of the CPUs is communicating with the HMI
• Red - neither CPU is communicating with the HMI
• Grayed-out - when the CPU is incompatible or the HMI as been set to off-line by the user
and does not attempt to establish communication to any of the lineups
