How to Choose the Best Human Machine Interface (HMI) Solution?

Sure BJOO, I'm happy to help. First, make sure you have the right images that can be used in an HMI context, often these are .bmp or .jpg files. Once you have these, you can usually add them via the HMI development environment, often by creating a new image object and then selecting your image file to associate with this object. However, the process might differ slightly depending on what HMI software you're using. Could you specify what platform or program you're utilizing so I can provide more precise assistance?

It sounds like you might be having issues with your HMI graphic file formats or their directory location. Some HMIs only support certain image file types (.jpg, .png, .bmp, etc.) so you'll want to double check that your images comply with these formats. Also, ensure your image files are stored in the right location where the HMI program can locate them. If it's a program-specific HMI like Siemens, you might need to import the icons into the software. Hope this helps, BJOO! It's always a bit of trial and error when dealing with HMIs.

Hi BJOO, firstly, you'll need to ensure the graphics you're trying to use are supported by your HMI's software. Once that is confirmed, you can usually upload them via the software's graphic import feature. If the graphics still don't show up, you might want to check if the paths to the pictures are defined correctly. Remember, structuring your folders in an organized way can save you a lot of trouble later on. Lastly, ensure your HMI has enough storage space. Oversaturation of storage could prevent graphics from displaying properly. Hopefully this helps!

Hi BJOO, I would suggest first checking your graphic files - are they in a compatible format? If your HMI software can't read the format, they won't display. You may need to convert your files to a format like .svg or .png which are typically compatible with most HMI's. If file format isn't the issue, it could be a software problem where you need to update or reinstall your HMI software. Don't forget to back up your project before doing so. Let me know how it goes!
