HMI

The HMI panel lets you enable GoHMI, choose which outputs you want to send to an HMI application, and start communication with the HMI.

You configure the HMI on the ControlHMI page. For details, see GoHMI and GoHMI Designer.

When you start HMI on a PC instance of GoPxL, a helper application (WebIQ Server) launches.

Show REST API Paths

Toggles between showing the full internal path to an output and an alias, which is simplified. In GoHMI Designer, you will see the REST API path; toggling this on can help make it easier to find which item is which.

3

Show Missing

If the source for a connection is missing (that is, the tool providing the source has been removed in the job, or an output has been disabled), this option is displayed. Enabling it lists connections whose source can't be found.

You can delete the missing connection (by hovering over the row in Data to Send and clicking the trashcan icon) or enable the source if it has just been disabled.

3 Tool & Sensor Outputs

The list of outputs (scan data and tool outputs) that GoPxL will send to an HMI. You can remove an output from the list by hovering over it and clicking the trashcan icon.

4 Output selector

Lists the available outputs. Click an output in the drop-down to add it to the outputs GoPxL will send to an HMI.
