1.3 Configuration and process control phase
Introduction
You must follow the phases below in order to use an HMI device in the system:
● Configuration phase
● Process control phase
Configuration phase
The HMI device project, which includes the plant screens, is created during the configuration
phase.
The following actions are carried out as part of the configuration phase:
● Creating the project
● Accepting the project (determining the checksum)
● Testing the project
● Simulating the project
● Backing up the project
After the configuration phase, the project is transferred to the HMI device by the configuring
PC.
Process control phase
Once the project is transferred to the HMI device, the operator operates and monitors current
processes in the process control phase. The HMI device is connected to a PLC in the plant
and exchanges values with this PLC. The plant screens on the HMI devices are used to
provide a clear overview of the active processes.
