FunctionDescriptionDownload
Address MappingAddress mapping is the operation to build the relationship between two different addresses. Forwarding address from source address to destination address, so the value in both addresses would be same according to the predefined mapping mode. Both addresses could be from different, in this way, to make HMI processing faster.Download
AlarmThere are two types for Alarm function, Word Alarm and Bit Alarm. And also supports saving the alarm history records to SD card or U Disk or HMI internal flash for permanent storage. The function is the same as LEVI series, the setting of alarm is similar with LEVI one.Downlaod
Common ObjectThis link will show how to set Bit Switch, Word Switch, Function Switch, Numeric Display.Download
Combination SwitchIndividual functions can be added to one combination switch, to implement multiple tasks at the same time.Download
Data RecordThis demo is used to explain how to set up Data Record.
Disc RecordThe disc is mainly to display the data as a circular curve on graph. This demo shows the main settings of Disc Record.
Drop-down ListDrop-Down list is designed for display the designated state by text, to select the text in the list, the corresponding state will change, and the write address will change to the designated state value. (There are 64 states in total, as "0-63").Download
HideThere is a hide function for button objects. User could use the bit address to control objects into hide state. Indirect window also could do hide function.Download
History Trend ChartThe real-time data in HMI cache will display curve graph, which X axis represent as time, Y axis represent as data. History Trend Chart reads the data from Data Record.
Indirect WindowIndirect window it is designed for display the sub-screen. User can enter different number to display different screen in HMI.Or use a bit address to pop up specified screen.Download
Keypad SwitchKeypad switch is designed to input data manually; this object must work with the Keypad.User can assign letters or numbers for each switch, when the switch is triggered the data will input to the textbox.Download
Meter & Bar GraphThis Demo shows the basic functions of Bar Graph and Meter. Those two objects use the same read address and data range. They display the same data in the Bar Graph and Meter.Download
QR CodeQR code is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode). A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached. A QR code uses four standardized encoding modes to efficiently store data; extensions may also be used. PIStudio provides such object for users, it provides two modes, one is [Variable QR], and the other is [QR String].Downlaod
RecipeRecipe function keeps data in the HMI, used to download the data from HMI to designated device addresses, or upload the data from device addresses to HMI. The maximum number of group in recipe is 1000, and the maximum number of member in each group is 1500. There are two modes in Recipe function, Simple recipe and advanced one. Advanced mode can support multiple Recipe files management, but simple one can only support one recipe file. And it can support import recipe file (.rcp2 and .csv) and export recipe file (.rcp2 only).Download
ScreensaverThis Demo shows how to make screen protection in PI HMI.Download
Time SettingThis document shows three ways to set HMI time.Download
Trend ChartTrend Chart function is used for displaying the real-time data in HMI as curve graph, which X axis represent as time, Y axis represent as data.Download
User PermissionUser permission is one of expansion function in PI Series HMI; it provides multi-level of permission for control HMI operations. User need to set the user and group when designing project. Different groups have different permission levels for accessing. Each user should be added to certain group, it is possible to add one user to different groups.Download
XY PlotIn PI series HMI, there is XY curve function, it divided into two types, one is XY Plot(real time), and the other is History XY plot(Historical). This demo shows how to set these two types curve.Download
Barcode ScannerThis Demo shows how to read the scanner info into PI HMI.Download
