We have several Siemens basic panels in use on a production line. The line was bought from over seas and so all the display screens are using metric where any units of measurement are displayed.
All the units of measurement are metric in the PLC program, but there is a conversion button on the HMI's to convert all the displays to show imperial measurements.
One of the contractors said he did the conversion in the HMI program, and I didn't really ask how.
It's been almost 2 years of running now, and I have the need to understand how this was done. I've made some minor changes on the HMI's, but nothing like this.
I am using TIA portal v14.
Can someone help me understand how to do this within the HMI program?
I hope this request is clear. (Ex. - PSI --- kPa)
Thank you very much.
