Create Your HMI Project
In Chapter 1, you learned how to structure the controller application for your system. In this chapter, you create your HMI
project to follow PlantPAx system recommendations by using the PlantPAx HMI templates.
To build an HMI project, you must complete the following tasks:
• Download and select an HMI template
• Create all logical servers (data, HMI, and alarms, if applicable) and configure communication and system settings
• In the process of creating your HMI servers, apply the PlantPAx HMI template to your project
The HMI project is built by using one of three software components: HMI servers, Data servers, or Tag Alarm and Event
servers. All of these software components are assigned to a PASS server.
Before You Begin
You must complete these tasks before using this chapter:
• Tasks described in
Before Using This Publication on page 6
, including the following:
–
Define the system
(for example, determine the number of HMI, Data, and Alarm and Event servers to be used
where they are hosted)
–
Install the system
(PASS servers must be installed and available)
• You identify the target screen resolution on your OWS
What You Need
To complete tasks in this chapter, you need FactoryTalk View SE
client software, version 7.0, running on a PASS server. You can use an
EWS to implement the steps in this chapter.
The illustration shows an example of an HMI project structure.
