System Layout

With this setting you determine how your XTS system is displayed in the HMI.

System Layout 1:
►Expand Properties > SystemLayout
►Select the appropriate display option in the drop-down menu Layout
System Layout 2:
►Click ... from InfoImages


XtsInfoImages can be inserted into the controller and can be zoomed and moved with the XTS system. XtsInfoImages are used as an array.

System Layout 3:

The dialog box XtsView | InfoImages opens.

►Click on Add

An XtsInfoImage is added. The properties of the XtsInfoImage can be set in the Properties area.

System Layout 4:
►Expand General
►Click on the button Image to select a file path for the graphic
►Select the display in the drop-down menu View
System Layout 5:

Reference point and origin

The reference point for the graphic is the top left-hand corner. The origin refers to the first module added in the XTS Configurator.

System Layout 6:
►Expand Layout
►Enter values for the position in the input fields PositionX and PositionY
►Enter values for the size in the input fields Width and Height
►Enter a rotation angle in the input field Rotation
►Activate the checkbox Visible to show the graphic

OR

►Deactivate the checkbox Visible to hide the graphic
►Enter a value in the input field zIndex

Further information can be found in chapter General settings.

System Layout 7:
►Confirm with OK

The dialog box XtsView | InfoImages closes.

System Layout 8:
►Click ... from PartTransformations


Part Transformations can be inserted into the controller and determine the XTS layout. You can define the layout for each XTS part. Part Transformations are used as an array.

System Layout 9:

The dialog box XtsView | PartTransformations opens.

►Click on Add

A Part Transformation is added. The properties of the part transformation can be set in the Properties area.

System Layout 10:
►Expand General
►Enter values in the input fields PartIndex and Rotation
►Select the appropriate display option in the drop-down menu PartSide
System Layout 11:
►Expand X-Transformation
►Enter values in the input fields Offset, ValueScale and AxisBinding
►Expand Y-Transformation
►Enter values in the input fields Offset, ValueScale and AxisBinding
System Layout 12:
►Confirm with OK

The dialog box XtsView | PartTransformations closes.

System Layout 14: Layout

 

 

  • PositionX

X-position of the graphic

Reference point is the global zero point

0

  • PositionY

Y-position of the graphic

Reference point is the global zero point

0

  • Width

Width of the graphic

By default, the width of the graphic is indicated in px. Entering a value changes the width, proportionally the height of the graphic changes. Entering values for Width and Height can cause the graphic to be distorted.

Unit: mm, related to the real system size

–

  • Height

Height of the graphic.

By default, the height of the graphic is indicated in px. Entering a value changes the height, proportionally the width of the graphic changes. Entering values for Width and Height can cause the graphic to be distorted.

Unit: mm, related to the real system size

–

  • Rotation

Rotation angle of the graphic.

Unit: degrees

0

  • Visible

Visibility of the tool

System Layout 15: True

  • System Layout 16: True

Checkbox activated
