3.3.10 Display images
There are two display categories:
• Display images/graphics in the graphic area in accordance with the display in
Subsection 3.3.1 "Defining a screen form"
• Help displays illustrating, for example, individual variables, which are
superimposed in the graphic area.
• More Help displays can be configured instead of blocks of text or input/output
fields, which you position where you like.
Display images
Maximum size: 560 * 326 pixels (HMI Advanced/HMI Embedded)
312 * 139 pixels (HT6)
688 * 376 pixels (PCU20 and PCU50 with OP012)
Display building, HMI Embedded/HT6
To configure displays, please proceed as follows:
• Create the display images using, for example, the Windows 95 Paint application.
• Convert the display images into PCX format with 16 colors (e.g., with
PaintShopPro).
• Convert the PCX file where the supplied program pcxconv.exe is executed.
The program has the following parameters:
PCXCONV Xpos Ypos Width Height PCXfile attrib colTab
Explanation of parameters:
The parameters Xpos, Ypos, Width, Height define the display section to be
converted from the generated display.
I.a. Start with 0 0, that is, in the upper left corner.
Xpos X-position in pixels (must be an integer multiple of 8)
Ypos Y-position in pixels
Width Width in pixels (max. 640) (must be an integer multiple of 8)
Height Height in pixels (max. 480)
PCXfile Name of the PCX file (wildcards can be used)
attrib 0 --> 10k-binary files,
1 --> 26k-binary files,
2 --> original size
(here, always enter 2; the other options are reserved for
internal Siemens purposes)
colTab Color-Table:
standard --> use HMI Standard color table
cmm --> use the color table for ShopMill
Example: PCXCONV 0 0 80 36 help 2 standard
We recommend generating a batch file that calls PCXCONV in order to
convert all of the PCX files into the requested size.
Use the BMP2BIN conversion program (application disk). It supports 256 colors
and faster display building.
