Help - Configure HMI
Overview
The "Configure HMI" page provides an overview the current configuration of the HMI subsystem. This is divided into the following sections:
- HMI ID
- Tag configuration
- Alarm and event tables
HMI Parameters
HMI ID
This displays the HMI reserved tag information from the HMI configuration. This includes the following:
| Item | Configuration Label | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Server ID | [serverid] | This is the HMI server id tag defined by the user. |
| Client Version | [clientversion] | This is the HMI client version tag defined by the user. |
Address Tag Configuration
This shows all the normal address tags defined by the user, together with the address, limit, and scaling information. The number of rows will vary according to the number of tags configured.
| Item | Configuration Label | Description |

| Tag Name | N/A | The tag name assigned by the user. |
| Address Type | addrtype | The address type for the local data table. |

| Minimum Range | range | The minimum value permitted.1 |
| Maximum Range | range | The minimum value permitted.1 |
| Scale Offset | scale | The scaling value offset.1 |
| Scale Span | scale | The scaling value span.1 |
1For boolean tags, the range and scale values are not used. The values shown are the defaults, but do not represent actual legal values.
