-
Add new widgets by dragging them from Object Types to the page.
-
Resize the selected widgets in one of the alternative ways.
- Click and hold any resize point on the edge or corner of the widget and drag the mouse to resize the widget.
- Change the width and height properties of the widget in the Object Properties pane.
-
Set the properties of the selected widget by modifying the values in the Object properties pane.
Once widgets are placed on the HMI page, some of them (Monitors) can be linked to the corresponding function block in the application configuration by using the source property. The values are updated by the protection relay either periodically (measurement) or in case of an event.
Some of the widget properties can be in an automatic mode. When the property is in the automatic mode, the values are set automatically by the protection relay's LHMI. If a value is specified for an automatic property, the LHMI displays the specified value.
Note: Some of the widget properties cannot be edited as they are read-only values. -
Group or ungroup multiple widgets regardless of their type.
Figure 1. Grouping widgets When a group is created, all the individual widget properties such as the widget name followed by the dot and the property name, are shown in the Object Properties pane. Only properties x and y are common for all the widgets in the group.
The widget group property naming (aliases), visibility and read-only can be modified.
The grouped widgets can be ungrouped by right-clicking the group and selecting Ungroup.
-
Bind the widget property values to the same or to another widget property values or to signal values from the application configuration function.
It is possible to specify simple if...else conditions. The property values are then changed based on those conditions.
For example, the LED color can be changed to red if the signal value is high or to green if button2 is checked. Otherwise the LED color is yellow.
