Controls
Compact HMI includes multiple control objects available for use in designing Panels. All
controls will have customizable states that can be applied, allowing the user to conditionally
change many of the properties of the controls. These states are described in more detail in the
“Display Conditions” section.
• The Indicator Label is used for creating graphical displays of data. The user can specify
the format in which the data will be displayed.
• The Image Box is used to display an image on the Panel.
• The Control Button is used for controlling the process data. The control button supports
the following actions: Set Bit, Reset Bit, Toggle Bit, Send Value, Ask User and Send
Value, and Open Menu.
Once the control is added to the Panel, you can select the control and edit its properties. All of
the controls use an offset from the base read defined in the Panel object.
Controls are in the Toolbox on the left side of the visual editor. These controls are what you will
use to display data or take action. Adding a Control is as simple as double-clicking the Control
you want to add.
