Panelview 600 Replacement
« on: August 18, 2013, 09:30:10 AM »
This was a project to replace an obsolete Panelview 600. The PanelView used a DeviceNET interface, which was replaced with a panel PC running AdvancedHMI, and Ethernet interface. The original developer used the practice of mapping from the Local IO variables to a tag. This made the conversion much easier by referencing the mapped tags in AdvancedHMI, then removing the rungs in the ladder that mapped from the inputs to the mapped tags. Using AdvancedHMI version 3.5, not a single line of code was necessary. The new FormChangeButton allowed screen navigation without the 2 lines of code that was necessary in previous versions.

The last picture is a screen from the original PanelView. You can see how closely AdvancedHMI can replicate the look and feel.

Very nice conversion.  By matching that closely to the original, always makes operator transition easier.
