Introduction
There are many control and monitoring systems that specialize in measuring the values of temperature,
humidity, pressure, speed, etc. Viewing and monitoring these outputs is an important factor for
engineers and technicians to monitor system behavior. To simplify the monitoring process and make it
more interactive with the systems, there are several visual tools in HMI that facilitate the process of
monitoring and interacting with the values of these outputs, including (Numeric Display and Meter
Graph), in which these tools will be explained and how to use them through the implementation of
several experiments.
Numeric Input
This device is used to modify and display the PLC related word or double Word For 16 bit size word the
supported numeric formats are the unsigned DEC, signed DEC, ,Octal, Hex, Bin, and BCD. For 32 bit size,
the float data type is added to the previous list. This numeric device allows the designer to modify the
relevant PLC word with the scaled version of what is entered in this device in addition to keep the entered
value between the selected minimum and maximum limits if scaling check box is marked. Masking the
input data is possible if the cipher check box is selected.
Here and only for 32bit size word, one must understand that memory word k (%MWk) refers to the PLC's
memory double k/2 (%MD(k/2) k is positive even integer).
Numeric Display
This device is used to display the PLC related word or double Word according to the required format. For
16 bit size word the supported numeric formats are the unsigned DEC, signed DEC, Octal, Hex, Bin, and
BCD. For 32 bit size, the float data type is added to the previous list. It also provides scaling facility so
that the PLC related address content can be transformed to the value the end user can well understand
or in other words to emulate the real environment.
