Engineering Workflow
Compact HMI 800 provides a variety of tools for acquisition of data and
presentation of data on a computer screen. Below there are a simple workflow with
recommended steps to engineer the Compact HMI 800. Decisions must be made on
how to organize the displays, write control applications and how to sectioning the
control network.
• Connect the PLCs and Controllers to the Compact HMI 800.
• Install the PLC tools and configure OPC servers.
• Define the Device and Process object types that shall be visible in the Compact
HMI 800.
• Create instances of the Types and connect these to the PLCs.
• Structure the control application according to the controlled equipment.
