About HmiGuide

Here a list of the most important things, when using the template: Both projects WebIQ and PLC are examples that can be adapted to your own requirements. The HMI only works if WebIQ and the matching PLC project are installed together This is important because many features are implemented in the PLC and are only displayed on the HMI. When changing or deleting a feature, you must be aware of the consequences. For example, delete the communication monitoring as you have described. Some things will no longer work, or worse, you will get errors and side effects that would otherwise not occur. The communication monitoring runs via heartbeat, this ensures that not only the OpcUa communication works, but also that the PLC program is running. ... View more

I would like to use another example from everyday life to illustrate what it means when you delete the communication check. Imagine the warning light for low oil level in your car lights up. Instead of checking what the cause is and then topping up the oil, you remove the warning light. ... View more

What are you doing? When you use the template and it's features, than you MUST use the WebIQ project together with the matching PLC project. The communication check uses a PLC heartbeat to verfiy that the communication is ok and the  PLC is running. When you disable the the check, your problem is not solved. You just do not get the warning and the template features are not working, because of the missing PLC program. You  must solve the problem, instead of removing the hint which tells you that there is a problem. ... View more
