I am seeking a way to programmatically delete all historical data on a Samkoon HMI-043AE at the beginning of a process. While I have successfully utilized a function button in my application to clear the data, a confirmation dialog pops up for the operator, which I want to eliminate. When using a bit switch to set LB60120, the reset operation is completed, but the historical data is not cleared. My assumption is that setting LB60120 requires confirmation before the operation is executed, but since no dialog appears, no confirmation is given. Can anyone suggest a method to clear all historical data on a Samkoon HMI without the need for operator confirmation?
I have an important update regarding the firmware of HMI devices HM-043AE and HM-070BE. Previously, both devices were running on version 7.2.0.15, causing issues with clearing historical data (LB60120) and logging data without a USB memory stick inserted. After upgrading the HMI firmware to version 7.2.0.47 on both devices, I found that the HM-043AE still had issues with clearing data programmatically but could now log data to internal memory without a USB stick. On the other hand, the HM-070BE now allows for programmatically clearing historical data and logging data to internal memory without a USB stick. This upgrade has significantly improved the functionality of both devices.
While I haven't had experience with a Samkoon HMI-043AE specifically, in other HMI systems I've worked with, it's possible to override default confirmation dialog boxes with scripting. Have you tried to use a script to perform the data deletion operation? If Samkoon's system allows scripting, it might bypass the confirmation requirement. Additionally, it might be worth reaching out to Samkoon's technical support team for insights or hidden features that might address this issue.
That's an interesting quandary. While I'm not directly familiar with the Samkoon HMI-043AE, I've had similar experiences with other HMIs. One thing you could try is to automate the confirmation command. Just like you're setting a bit for the delete operation, you could potentially find a way to programmatically confirm the action too. Alternatively, check the system documentation thoroughly. Sometimes there are hidden or less documented commands which could do this without user prompts. If all else fails, reaching out to Samkoon's technical support might also be a good option. They might be able to provide an insight or solution specific to their hardware.
It sounds like you've made solid progress in your attempt to clear historical data. In general, operator confirmation pop-ups exist as safeguards to prevent unintentional data loss, so bypassing these may not be possible without some firmware modifications or usage of undocumented features, which could potentially void your warranty or render your HMI non-functional. Instead of completely bypassing the confirmation, have you considered automating the confirmation step if possible? Some HMI systems allow scripting or support automated interface interactions. This way you could have a programmed confirmation to the dialog prompt, avoiding the need for manual operator confirmation. Just an idea that might help!
Have you tried using a script or macro that automates the data clearing without triggering the confirmation dialog? Some users have reported success by manipulating the device's internal settings through a specific command sequence that bypasses the confirmation step. Additionally, ensure that the user permissions are set correctly, as that can sometimes influence whether confirmations are required. If there's a way to access the HMI's documentation or forums specific to Samkoon, you might find insights from others who have tackled a similar issue.

Answer: - One method to achieve this is by utilizing a bit switch to set LB60120, which triggers the reset operation without the need for operator confirmation.
Answer: - The issue might be due to the confirmation dialog that is expected to appear when setting LB60120, which could be preventing the data from being cleared.
Answer: - Yes, by finding a method to clear all historical data programmatically without the need for operator confirmation, you can effectively eliminate the dialog pop-up during the deletion process.
