3.4 MLX-HMI
The MLX-HMI includes {HMI} screens that provide a graphical mean for
interacting with Robots and the data tables associated with MLX200. The
{HMI} screens provide a resolution of 640x480 pixels. The screens are
provided as an FTView Studio archive file (*.apa). This file contains the
complete MLX HMI development environment and available to integrate
the MLX-HMI into a larger HMI.
The following sections will describe how to set up the HMI, and the layout
of the various screens.
3.4.1 Setting Up the HMI
The MLX-HMI consists of three parts: an RSLogix task which handles
communications with the HMI, an Application Data structure that is used
to store data, and the FactoryTalk HMI project.
When integrating the {MLX-HMI} screens into another HMI, DO NOT
change any of the tags, {HMI} screens, or object layouts that are used
in the MLX200 Robot {HMI} screens. Use of these screens is on an
AS-IS basis.
If using one of the pre-configuring RSLogix project files (as
described in Section 2.2.1 “Pre-Configured RSLogix
Projects” on page 2-7), the HMI Task and Application Data
structure will already be present in the project. In this case,
skip to Section 3.4.1.3 “Running the FTVIEW HMI
Application”.
