Autostart Trends when HMI is loaded (Factorytalk se)

Ingis · Mar 14, 2017

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to start the trends the moment the hmi starts? Now I enter my mainscreen, but the trend only starts running when you access the trend screen. Its a bit stupid to say to the user, you need to go to the different trend pages before you can start using the machine.

Yes, You should add the points you wish to trend to a Datalog.
Then, point your trend at the datalog instead of live data.

Start the datalog w/ the HMI(startup macro, looks like DataLogOn Daily_Log)

As stated by @Dravik, you will need to setup Data Logging first and then display said data model as a historical Trend; there is no Trend object related data collection mechanism- just current values.

Thanks.

I'm using the datalogging now first, and use this on my pen. But it is still starting only when I open the screen. I've added the macro with start datalogging. Is a macro automatically done when you start up, or do you need to configure the macro as a startup one? Does this work in the test client environment?

The trend will only run when an actual client starts, if the client is configured to run a startup macro which starts the logging.

You can manually start logging from the command line in studio with the DataLogOn command.

So If I understand, Its not in the Hmi develop tool I need to configure the startup macro, but in the client(s)?

Configure the macro in Studio, then in the client configuration select the macro to be run on client startup.
