Starting Up HMI Embedded (IM2)
9 Configure Windows in the NC Program
Introduction
HMI Embedded can display user-defined dialog windows (dialog screens).
The appearance of the dialog windows is configured purely by text (COM file in the
cycles directory). The dialog window is opened and closed by function calls from
the parts program.
User-configured dialog windows do not modify the HMI system software (user
interface).
You cannot call user-defined dialog windows simultaneously in different channels,
i.e., you can only use the MMC command with a 1:1 link.
The "Configure Windows in the NC Program" function is also referred to as the
"command channel".
Application
One possible application of user dialog windows is, for example, to selectively
assign current values to particular user variables (GUD) prior to a parts program
run.
