– Select a softkey
– Exiting dialogs
5. Data exchange between dialogs
6. Variables
– Read (NC, PLC and user variables)
– Write (NC, PLC and user variables)
– Combine with mathematical, comparison or logic operators
7. Execute functions:
– Subroutines
– File functions
– PI services
– External functions (HMI Advanced)
8. Apply protection levels according to user classes
Supplementary Conditions
The following conditions must be met:
● It is only possible to switch between dialogs within one HMI operating area.
● In the case of HMI Advanced, user, setting and machine data are initialized on request.
● User variables may not have the same names as system or PLC variables.
● The dialogs activated by the PLC form a separate operating area for HMI Advanced
(similar to measuring cycle displays).
Note
The programming support functions described in the chapter of the same name and the
user interfaces for Siemens cycles have been created with the system tools for Expand
user interface. As a result, they can be modified as required by the machine manufacturer
or end user within the scope described in this chapter.
