Setting for the same screen appearance
In order for the appearance in HMI Advanced to tally with that in HMI Embedded sl, the font
is changed to a fixed font in the configuration file WIZARD.INI:
[FONT]
FixedFont=1
The text will be displayed in the current language in fixed font format. The only exception is
text for the softkey labels. Unlike the HMI Embedded sl input field, the HMI Advanced input
field contains an input mode pictogram. This means it is smaller than the HMI Embedded sl
field.
As you can see above, the combination of short text, graphic text, input field, and unit text is
approximately the same length and contains the same information in both screens.
However, individual fields can be positioned differently in the two HMI versions depending on
the length of the text to be displayed and the text field within which it will be contained.
To enable a common configuration file to be produced for both systems, the SYSTEM dialog
property has been created. The runtime environment can be scanned in the SYSTEM dialog
property. This enables a common configuration to be used for both target systems.
2.2.7 Using display images/graphics
Use of graphics
There are two display categories:
● Display images/graphics in the graphic area
● Help displays illustrating, for example, individual variables, which are superimposed in the
graphic area.
● More Help displays can be configured instead of short text or an input/output field, which
you position where you like.
Maximum size System
560 * 326 pixels HMI Advanced/HMI Embedded sl
688 * 376 pixels PCU 50 with OP 012
Creating screen images for HMI Embedded sl
Create the screen images using, e. g., the MS Paint application.
HMI Embedded sl can handle converted graphics as well as BMP files. Graphics created
using the conversion program BMP2BIN can continue to be used. For BMP files, the colors
are converted online. For this purpose, the files containing the color table (syscol.col,
sysbw.col, etc.) have been extended to include the [BMP] section. This section allocates a
color of a BMP pixel to a color in HMI Embedded.
