Observe the Template Structure
The example tree diagram shows the HMI template
structure. Display and start-up macros are created as part of
the template (shown at the bottom of the example).
The displays included in the template have the following
naming structure:
• (FRAME) is a prefix used on items intended only to
be used as is with minimum customization. These
may be instantiated to create different environments
on large projects.
• P1f is a unique template identifier. This prefix
identifies the template that is being applied as well as
the files that are part of the template.
• Template is used to identify a template that can be
copied multiple times to create application-specific
content. If this is not a template display, this word is
omitted.
• The remaining name is a brief description of the
display file. We suggest that these names be similar
across templates. For example, P1 Home is the initial
display.
Macros configure the initial display structure during
runtime. The start-up macros open the framework files in
the orientation intended. For example, the header display at
the top and the footer display at the bottom.
