Please note the use of the word icon and faceplate are the same thing. It is possible, you would need to copy the standard screen to a popup screen in the screen management area of the comfort panel. Then add add an event to the event tab on the motor icon within the very top plant view, and use that to pull up the popup. The reason it's done in the method you see, is because the icon when pressed sends a request to the PLC, where the information is multiplexed back through a set of UDT's for each type screen. So if you go to the icon's events, you will see the name of the object in the PLC, and the call for the startscreen of the object in HMI. The multiplex is through the identName, which matches the identName applied on the function block. This way you only have a minimal amount of HMI screens, and minimal faceplate (icons), instead of a screen for ever single programmed object. With the popup I'm not sure you would be accomplishing much differently, and would have to add a pop event for each sub-navigation screen. For example if you press the motor icon, and go the motor start screen, then you press the setup button, this would need to also reference a new popup event. So you would likely be creating quite the work to change over to this method. I could possibly see the benefit here if you for example design the overall template as a TP900, but instead have a TP1200, the you would be able to still see the plant view behind the popup. Otherwise you would consider removing information to make the popup smaller, as many traditional HMI's would do. Do realize you would need to consider how the underworking's of SiVArc are already built in, as I'm showcasing in the video. SiVArc is used to help autogenerate the HMI screens, faceplate tag connections, and alarms. If you do not plan on using SiVArc but would build this up the long way, then no considerations required.
Hi there! I'm on the lookout for a tool for Allen-Bradley PLCs, akin to SiVArch for Siemens PLCs, that can automatically generate faceplates and link them to tags based on predefined rules. Does anybody know if such a tool exists? I've been searching extensively but haven't found anything similar
There exists no tooling like this for most competitors. I used to program AB a lot, but the work there is uphill and flat file-based. You must make your own tooling.
Hello i tried to import LBP v2.7 on TIA PORTAL V17 (in new project not demo project of siemens) using document "109749508_LBP_V2.7_Implementation_DOC_en" but not working there many errors. can you help me ?
Use the demo and delete out the logic you don't want. Way easier than explaining all the steps. If you miss any of the components in the project explorer found in the project library then you will have errors. If you are generating using SiVarc you must have the global project open for example. The SiVarc rules reference them instead of the project library. Best of luck!
@System-Restored thanks for your response Also i tried to delete logic i don't want but there many erorrs also i can't replace the plc (i have redundant plc) Can you send me steps to delete existing logic without errors please?
@@riadhsalahbh It may take a while before I can give all the steps to delete. An alternative to this is a TIA Add-in that is called PLC Copy, which would copy all the components into your PLC in either direction. I' would suggest this method as an alternative. You should only need the library blocks, the library data types, and a global block that contains the "panels" tag as you see in the example project on SIOS. You may need to consider if the 1517H has any limitations in the firmware you have. There are very few instructions that are different on the redundant plcs.

I'm auto-generating it with a licensed tool called SiVARC. Otherwise, you should reference the example project, and look at the events of the icon. From there you will just need to change the IdentName function, and then you can reference your second Sina. Assuming you have two LBP_Sina blocks in code, and they must have two different ident names and instance Datablocks. Please reference the design manuals. They show how to do the installation manually without the SiVARC tool.
Very good nice work
Is there any possibly to make setting of motor as pop-up not like page? On comfort hmi?
