6. In the OpenLNS CT drawing, right-click the Visio shape used to monitor the Data Point
SmartShape, and then click Show ShapeSheet on the shortcut menu. The ShapeSheet of the
selected Visio shape opens.
7. Enter the following function the FillForegnd cell of the FillFormat section:
RUNMACRO("<Macro name>"), where Macro Name is the name of the Macro you entered in
step 2.
8. Click the accept button ( ) in the Formulas box.
Organizing HMIs
When you create an HMI, place all the controls comprising the HMI in a single subsystem that is
separate from the subsystem containing the devices and functional blocks it represents. If you have
multiple subsystems that each have HMIs, establish a naming convention to correlate each HMI with
the subsystem it monitor and controls. This makes it easier for you to use, modify, and maintain the
network as you add more HMIs and subsystems to the network. For example, a reactor network could
contain multiple reactor subsystems that each have their own HMIs. You would place the reactor
subsystems in one subsystem, and the HMI subsystems in another. The following figure demonstrates
how you can organize the reactor network using this naming convention.
