Batch Server taking more than the configured amount of time.

Working with an HMI

The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is the process control software that allows the user
to view the graphical representation of all the automated devices in the selected plant. The
HMI displays each configured piece of equipment and enables the interaction with the
plant environment. The HMI also offers the user the ability to manually control the
devices displayed on the screens.

The HMI can be used in conjunction with BatchCampaign to control automated batch
processing.

1. Click the Properties and Settings button to open the Properties dialog box.

2. Select the Miscellaneous tab.

3. In the HMI Application Path box, type the path and file name for the HMI

application.

4. In the HMI Window Name box, type a name to be used in the title bar of the HMI

window.

5. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog box. The HMI button on the

toolbar is enabled.

6. When you want to access the HMI application, click the HMI button (or select HMI

Application from the File menu).
