Using the HMIWeb View

Choose this tab to parse and view HMIWeb Process Graphic file references to Cxxx/ACE type entities.

Hover your mouse cursor over this tip image to view quick help information.

Displays the total count of Process Graphic items in the view.

Displays the count of selected Process Graphic items in the view.

Specify search text to filter the HMIWeb view.  The search text specified will be searched upon in the column of data specified in the drop-down list to the right of the search box.  Special wild card characters are supported for filtering this view.

Select the data column to use when searching for text.

Click this button to view any attached Process graphic images { png, pdf } or optionally the Process Graphic static structure in a Browser view.  This view can be resized and its location moved.  Its last position and size is saved and restored in a new session.  While the Browser view is visible, you can change the selected item in the ListView to automatically browse to the newly selected Process Graphic item.  By default the viewer will try to find any attached graphic images that represent the Process graphic.  If you choose to view the static structure, then click the drop-down button and choose the option View htm content.

 

Toggle this Expander button to show/hide Entity references.  You can hover your mouse cursor over this Expander button to view a ToolTip of references. 

You can specify additional projects to resolve DSA type  references.  Script references are shown as invalid if an Entity.Parameter reference is not defined in the shapes Script Data holder.

Toggle this Expander button to show/hide scripts.  You can hover your mouse cursor over this Expander button to view a ToolTip of scripts found for embedded shapes in the Process Graphic file.

Click the drop-down arrow to display its menu.  These menu commands generate reports that can be viewed, printed and exported to various media types including Adobe PDF, PowerPoint, Word, etc.

 

 

Tip: The "Include cross reference report" option if used while the option to report on only selected items is chosen will still require iterating through all Process graphics as external references are not specific to a graphic.

 

Tip: The "Include graphic details report" option if used can take a considerable amount of time to generate and may include thousands of pages of graphic details.  Use this option with caution on an entire HMIWeb graphics project.  Closing the Report View or one of its Report tabs will automatically cancel any active Report generation task.

Click the drop-down arrow to display its menu.  These menu commands copy graphics data to the Window Clipboard for pasting into Excel.  Available data includes cross reference of where entities are used in HMIWeb graphics, process controller usage, and graphic details.

 

 

This function is often used to provide Controller usage vs. graphics to help define FAT and startup scopes.

 

 

You can optionally choose to include detailed data together with the AssignedTo Controller usage data.  Detailed data would consist of the Entity reference, shape, scripts, etc. together with the Controller name usage.

 

You can optionally choose to include SCADA type controllers in the list of Controller names.

Click this button to launch the Graphics Capture tool.

 

This tool programmatically launches the Honeywell HMIWeb Graphics editor installed on your local system where Control Architect resides.  It will process a selected set of HMIWeb Process graphic files opening them in the HMIWeb view editor while taking a static snapshot of the rendered image and converting the rendered image to either a PDF or PNG file type.  These captured images can then be imported into your configuration asset snapshot and viewed in this Graphics view for a selected graphic item.

 

It is required that HMIWeb Graphics editor is installed on your local system.  Honeywell provides a standalone installation for this application that allows you to install the editor on your local desktop or laptop.

The configuration views Data View tab allows you to specify additional configuration snapshots that may contain other DSA references in your Process graphic files.
