HMI MENU


HMI MENU

HMI Menu is enabled and disabled using the FCTN menu. If enabled, HMI menus will replace the normal popup menus when the MENU key is pressed.

When you are using HMI on the iPendant, you can customize your teach pendant screens to fit your application. The HMI screen customization feature allows you to set the available menu options to display a specific set of HTM or STM menus. You can either display the default set of menus or, you can generate your own set of .HTM or .STM menus to display.

The user menus are stored in

  • FRS:\USRHMIQK.STM — Quick Menu

  • FRS:\USRHMIFL.STM — Full Menu

  • FRS:\REMHMIQK.STM — Quick Menu for remote connections

  • FRS:\REMHMIFL.STM — Full Menu for remote connections

The default pages that are created each time the controller is turned on are

  • FRS:\JIPHMIQK.STM — Quick Menu using JavaScript with icons

  • FRS:\JIPHMIFL.STM — Full Menu using JavaScript with icons

  • FRS:\IPHMIQK.HTM — Quick Menu using table of links

  • FRS:\IPHMIFL.HTM — Full Menu using table of links

The operator does not have access to the FRS:\ device so that the files cannot be accidentally modified or deleted. If many web pages and images are linked together, the best way to make an HMI out of your site is to submit a web page that redirects to your main web page on FR:\ device.

main.htm
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv=refresh content="0; URL=/fr/mainmenu.stm"> 
</head><body></body></html>

Submit main.htm as your HMI. It redirects to mainmenu.stm which is on FR:\ device. If you do this all web pages and images are together in one directory. SharePoint Designer can easily find them and you can copy all files to FR:\ device when you are ready to try it on the robot.

HMI menus can be configured using SETUP iPendant Setup, iPendant HMI Setup. More details are in the Setup and Operations Manual, iPendant, Additional iPendant Features, Screen Customizations, iPendant HMI Screen Customizations.
