How to Create a Calibration Button for BandR 4PP045 Power Panel Touch Interface Alignment Issue

Question:

Hello everyone, I am facing an issue with the 4PP045 Power Panel from B&R where the touch interface is not aligned correctly on the screen. I believe it needs to be recalibrated. Can anyone provide guidance on how to create a calibration button or a similar solution for this problem? I am using AS3.0.90.34 and would also appreciate a complete project as an example. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

The VisAPI library offers the convenient option of triggering calibration directly from the program or by adding a dedicated button to the HMI interface. This eliminates the hassle of navigating through menus to access the calibration feature. In our experience, assigning a spare input to initiate calibration has proven to be a practical solution, ensuring easy access even in situations where the calibration is urgently needed.

Thank you for the information. I have begun exploring the helpful resources in AS's help file, where I found the button you mentioned. Is it feasible to incorporate this spare input button into an existing program without access to the source code? Regards.

Were you able to successfully address the calibration problem at hand?

Hi there! It indeed seems like your power panel needs a recalibration. The easiest way to start this process is first by accessing the system settings, typically 'Device - Calibrate Touchscreen.' Also, it's possible to create a button to perform touch calibration using the 'Touch.Calibrate()' command, which should fix any alignment issues. Remember, it's crucial to follow instructions carefully during the calibration process so that you don't exacerbate the problem. Unfortunately, I don't have a full project example to give you, but I hope this points you in the right direction. Good luck!

Hey there! Looks like you're dealing with some tricky calibration issues. From what I understand, you can create a calibration button in the screen designer with a VBScript script behind it. The script should include the command 'calibrationwin_show()'. This should bring up a calibration prompt that allows you to realign the touch interface on the screen. Remember to put the button in a protected area if you don't want it accessed during normal operation. It's crucial to adapt screen layout to each project's need, especially when working with advanced software like AS3.0.90.34, so a complete project example might not directly apply to your specific situation. Hope this helps!

Hey there! It sounds like you're dealing with a tricky issue. For recalibrating the touch interface on the 4PP045 Power Panel, you can create a calibration button using the “Touch Calibration” function available in the B&R Automation Studio. You might want to look into setting up a simple screen where users can tap certain points to recalibrate. If you search the B&R support forums, you might find some example projects that can guide you through the coding process. I'd recommend investigating their “How-To” section, as it often has step-by-step guides. Hope this helps get you on the right track!

Hey! I had a similar issue with the 4PP045 panel and found that recalibrating it was definitely the way to go. In AS3.0, you can create a calibration button by using the `TP_Calibrate()` function, which brings up the calibration screen when triggered. As for an example project, I recommend checking out the B&R community forums; they often have shared projects that you can adapt, or you could look for sample HMI projects on the B&R website’s documentation section. Good luck, and let me know if you need any more details!
