Testing SFC View using the demo application

General
Prior to the Integration of SFC View SFC View DemoApplication Before you integrate SFC View into an HMI application, you should test for flawless interplay between SFC View, Unity Pro, the OPC Factory Server (OFS) the Unity Pro PLC Simulator. In order to test SFC View and to perform a few important adjustments, please use the SFC View Demo Application as described in the following.

Start and Use of the SFC View Demo Application

General When installing SFC View, a SFC View Demo Application and the corresponding source code (in Visual Basic) are installed. The SFC View Demo Application is an independent program that can also be executed without HMI, SPS and Visual Basic. Nearly all the properties, methods and events for SFC View were configured in this program, are available using menus and can be tested in conjunction with Unity Pro, the OPC Factory Server (OFS) the Unity Pro PLC Simulator. The user can experiment with this demo application and learn how SFC View is used and programmed. If the user's development environment is Visual Basic 6.0, the source code for the demo application can be viewed in it. If a different development environment is used, the Visual Basic source code can be viewed in any editor. The Visual Basic files can be found in the default directory: ...Installation directory of the SFC View...\SFC View\Example. The Unity Pro test project that belongs to the demo application is saved during the installation of SFC View as an *.XEF -file as a standard under ...Installation directory SFC View...\TESTSFC.

Operate Vijeo Look Project

Changes in a Vijeo Look Project Open the Unity Pro test project Keep in mind that changes in a Vijeo Look Project only become fully effective once the project has been closed and then opened again.

Make sure that the Unity Pro test project (TESTSFCV.STU) is opened and saved in the PLC-Simulator Starten and Use of the SFC View Demo Application, p. 12, before you open the Vijeo Look-Project. This ensures that SFCView can access the Unity Pro Project data and you can observe projects in parallel in Unity Pro and Vijeo Look. From the Start overview of the Vijeo Look-Project (Welcome) you can switch via the operating heads SFCView and Process to the two other overviews.

Components Selecting more than one step chain

Description Click in a line in the right hand table and confirm by pressing the spacebar . Instead of an arrow in the first column, a cross is shown. Using this method you can select more than one step chain and for all chains at once, apply e.g. the PLCSetInitializeFlag method. Note: If more than one step chain is marked by a cross, the method to be implemented acts on them. A step chain that is marked with only one arrow is considered in this case to be not selected. You can switch to a different view (Details) by doubleclicking on a step chain.

Switching to another view

Note: By double-clicking on a step chain, this step chain is in view: Show details. Via the operating button SFCView you will get back to the view: Overview.
