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.
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.
Procedure 2. Creating a User-Defined HMI Full or Quick Menu
You are using the iPendant.
The default device is set appropriately. Refer to the “Program and File Manipulation Chapter” in the application-specific Setup and Operations Manual for more information.
Press MENU.
Select SETUP.
Press F1, [TYPE].
Select iPendant Setup.
Select iPendant HMI Setup. You will see a screen similar to the following.
By default, the iPendant HMI Full Menu is stored in JIPHMIFL.STM and IPHMIFL.HTM (non-JavaScript version) and the iPendant Quick Menu is stored in JIPHMIQK.STM and IPHMIQK.HTM (non-Javascript version). You can make a copy of these files and then edit them to make your own Full and Quick HMI menus. To make a copy of the default files, press F4, BACKUP. This will save a copy each of the files on to the default device.
Move the copied file to a personal computer so that you can edit the file.
In the HMI Full Menu file, you must have the iPendant Setup as a menu item. In the HMI Quick Menu file, you must have Password Setup as a menu item if passwords are available on your controller. Make sure to retain these menu items as appropriate; otherwise, the generated menu files will not operate properly.
Add or remove menu items within this file as necessary.
Save the file with a new name if necessary.
Move the file back to the controller.
Use Setting up the iPendant HMI Full, Quick, and Remote Menu Selections to set up and use the file you just created.
