Overview
"Expand user interface" is implemented with an interpreter and configuration files that
contain the descriptions of the user interfaces. "Expand user interface" is configured using
ASCII files: These configuration files contain the description of the user interface. The syntax
that must be applied in creating these files is described in the following chapters.
The "Expand user interface" tools can be used to create user interfaces that display
functional expansions designed by the machine manufacturer or end user, or simply to
implement your own dialog layout. Preconfigured user interfaces supplied by Siemens or the
machine manufacturer can be modified or replaced.
The interpreter is available for HMI Embedded sl, ShopMill and ShopTurn on NCU as well as
HMI Advanced.
Parts programs, for example, can be edited on user interfaces created by users. Dialogs can
be created directly on the control system.
Prerequisites
An additional graphics program is needed to produce graphics/display images. For HMI
Embedded sl you need the application disk and the Paint Shop Pro tool
( http://www.jasc.com ). The tool box supplied contains configuration examples for new
dialogs. You can also use these examples as a template for creating your own dialogs.
