Practice
Objective

After completion of this LAB you will be able to:


• Create a new display.
• Create basic display objects, such as rectangles, text and polygons.
Prerequisites

• An Experion PKS Server with HMIWeb Display Builder (needed for lab exercises.)

Introduction

HMIWeb Display Builder is a specialized drawing application that enables you to create and
modify displays for Station.
Custom displays allow you to present information in a graphical and user-friendly manner. Well-
designed custom displays make it easier for Operators to visualize complex processes and reduce
the probability of Operator errors.
During this lab, you will:
• Start HMIWeb Display Builder and practice navigation techniques.
• Create a new display.
• Create objects on a display.
• Customize/create a toolbar.
• Configure HMIWeb Display Builder options.
• Save and test your Practice.htm display in Station..

This beginning lab provides standard drawing techniques as well as suggestions on naming objects
in your display.

TIP

Many of the drawing methods are similar to those used


in other Windows-based drawing and paint
applications.

14 There are several types of displays that can be made using HMIWeb Display Builder:
a. Display: A Standard display.
b. Popup: A Popup is a secondary window that appears when a user clicks an object to
which the popup is attached.
c. Shape Sequence: A Shape Sequence is a custom object that is used in displays as
either a status indicator or a simple animation.
d. Dynamic Shapes: A dynamic shape is also, in effect, a custom object that is used in
displays to present complex data and may contain custom properties.
e. Display from Template: A template is used to create new displays that maintain
visual consistency. A Template is a standard “starter” display that is stored in the
HMIWeb Display Builder’s Template folder.

ATTENTION

The details of each display type will be covered later in


this course.

Create a New Display

15 Create a new display:

a. Click on the New Display icon to create a standard display.


b. Or, click the arrow to the right of the display icon. A drop-down menu will list the
types of displays that you can create.

a. Default Scripting Language: Specifies the default scripting language. Either


VBScript or JScript.
b. Number of Undo/Redo Levels: Specifies the maximum number of undo’s and
redo’s that you can perform.
c. Recently used file list: Specifies the number of recently used files listed under the
File menu.
d. Save AutoRecovery info every: Saves the “AutoRecover” version of any open
display at the specified frequency. If HMIWeb Display Builder closes unexpectedly it
asks you whether you want to open the AutoRecover version when you restart
HMIWeb Display Builder.
e. Change the mouse cursor when over a selectable object: If you select this option

the cursor (pointer) changes to this when you move it over a


selectable/editable object in HMIWeb Display Builder.
f. Show Intellisense auto-completion list in script editor: If you select this option,
you activate the Script Editor’s Intellisense feature.
g. Archive file format: Use the file format (Text) unless you have a specific need to
use Binary.
h. Save unarchived copy of file with archive files: Selecting this option will allow you
to save a display in different formats:
• Archive(*.hda or *.hsa)
• Standard(*.htm or *.sha)

ATTENTION

When you save a display/shape in archive/binary


format, it is saved as a single file, which is suitable for
use with version management tools. (If you save a
display in standard/text format, an archive version is
not saved. In standard format, an associated binding
folder is also created that contains various support
files and graphics. The folder has the same name as
the display, but with a "_files" extension.) Because
you cannot call up an archive file in Station, you may
want to set up HMIWeb Display Builder so that
displays are saved in both formats.

19 Configure the Grid and Rulers:


• Click the Grid and Rulers tab

a. Horizontal spacing: The horizontal spacing of gridlines is expressed in pixels.


b. Vertical Spacing: The vertical spacing of gridlines is expresed in pixels. You may
change these default numbers, as needed, based on your drawing needs.
c. Color: The color of the gridlines.
d. Snap objects to grid: If you select this option, objects automatically align to the grid
when you create, move or resize them.
e. Show grid: If you select this option the grid is visible.
f. Show rulers: If you select this option the rulers are visible. The rulers make it easier
to arrange objects in a neat and consistent manner.

9 Step Action

39 Create a Polygon object in your display similar to the one shown here:

• Click the (Polygon) button on the toolbar.


• Click to mark each node 1-2-3, except for the last.
• Double-click to mark the last node, which also closes the polygon as shown
below.
For example, to create the above example (a valve bottom), you could click points in the
following pattern 1 – 2 – 3 – 4.

1 3

4 2
• The last click (number 4) is double-clicked, which ends the drawing segment,
completes the object and closes the polygon. A polygon can be used to build
valves and multi-segmented, irregularly-shaped, filled objects.

Hint: It helps to have your grid and snap-to-grid on when drawing the above object (to
maintain straight edges and consistent sizing or hold the shift key while drawing the
lines.)

43 There are several ways to draw your valve top. Read both methods prior to deciding
which drawing method is best for you (Read Steps 38 – 45).
Method 1: Select the Wedge tool from the Toolbar:
• Drag your cursor to show a dotted line as shown below. When you release the
mouse button, a wedge will replace the dotted line.

• With the Wedge selected, click the Duplicate icon in your tool bar.

• The newly created wedge becomes selected; click the Flip Horizontal button on
the toolbar at the bottom of your display and then reposition the wedge as
shown (practice using your arrow keys to move the wedge into position).

ATTENTION

The Flip Horizontal button is used to give a mirror


image of an object.

44 Group all parts of the Valve:


• Select each piece while holding the <Shift> Key down.
• Select the Group button from the toolbar at the bottom left of the display.

• The grouped object is now shown in Object Explorer.

ATTENTION

Grouping provides a convenient way to move objects composed


of several parts to different locations within a display.

45 Method 2: To make one object (in this case a valve top) from two overlapping objects:
• Draw a rectangle (or square) on your display.
• Draw a circle that overlaps the rectangle (put the circle on top of the rectangle)
as shown.

9 Step Action

46 • Holding your shift key down, select the rectangle first and then select the
circle (both objects are now selected)

ATTENTION

Notice that one object has white handles and one has
black handles. The first object selected (in this case
the square) exhibits white handles and is the reference
object; its properties will be retained after the
transformation takes place.

47 Using the Transformations toolbar at the bottom of the display builder:


• Select the Intersection button.

48 A new object is created that represents only the parts of the previous objects that were
overlapping. The new object will inherit any properties that were defined on the
reference object (in this case the rectangle, which was the first object selected).

49 Position your new valve top as shown below.


Group all parts of the Valve:
• Select each piece while holding the <Shift> key down.
• Select the Group button from the toolbar at the bottom left of the display.

• Note the grouped valve in Object Explorer.

50 To compare Method 1 vs. Method 2

Method 1 retains a line in the middle of the valve top; method 2 does not.

51 Using either of the above methods:


• Create a top for your valve
Method 1 = Steps 38 and 39
Method 2 = Steps 40 thru 44

When finished creating and grouping your valve, resume with Step 47.

52 To modify one part of a grouped object, expand the group in Object Explorer, select the
component to be modified, right-click on it and select Property Pages.

• Modify the Fill Color of your Polygon from Red to Blue.

53 Add a Polyline in the display:


Polylines are similar to polygons except the last segment remains open. In other words,
using the same click sequence as shown previously for the polygon, if you double-click
