Configuring a
dashboard element
In the CfgDashboardElemnt parameter object you specify for each defined
dashboard element the image, the attribute and the key names of the
"associated" axis/axes or machining channel(s). "Associated" means that this
display element shows values of this axis or machining channel (examples:
position value of the axis, feed rate of the machining channel, speed of the
spindle, etc.).
The following table shows the available dashboard elements.
Select in MP_dashboardpicType the name of the dashboard element from
the list.
If desired, use MP_attribut to assign an attribute to the dashboard element.
In MP_entityList you associate the axis/axes or the machining channel to
be displayed in this dashboard element.
Configuring the
OEM window
The OEM can define up to four OEM-specific areas of different sizes in the
dashboard. These can be used to display Python applications.
With MP_upperLeft you define the dashboard element number that
represents the upper left corner of the OEM window. In MP_bottomRight
you enter the number of the corresponding dashboard element to limit the
OEM window in the lower right. You can configure up to four different OEM
windows in CfgOemWindow.
Configuring the
axis display
MP_axesDisplayMode can be used to set the type of axis display. If the
Default value is entered in MP_axesDisplayMode, the axis is displayed as
defined in the attribute of the dashboard element. The ActualValue,
NominalValue, Lag (following error) and Distance fields show the
corresponding values.
