How the Beijer HMI X2 Base 7 works with an Omron PLC

Today I just want to show you and illustrate how the Omron PLC works with a Beijer HMI model X2 base 7 which is the 7 inch screen. So what I have right here is I'm simulating the page on the IX developer. Because I can actually simulate the screen without having connected to the screen to the PLC and the PLC I'm using today to communicate to the HMI is Omron NX102. So what you see here is I have, so here's the screen right here and I have a button and when I click that button the lamp will turn on or turn off depend upon the status of the button when I click. And then another data numeric entry here for floating point register and also another numeric data entry here for integer. As I’m changing the value here, the bar graph will change accordingly as well as the dial indicator. So right now it shows 100 and that's why the bar graph is at 100 so as the dial indicator. If I change it to and you notice also by the way below here is actually the watch windows within the Omron Sysmax studio. So as I change the value here you will see it updated here as well. So I'm going to change it to let's say 50. Voila. So the bar graph is now 50 so it's a dial indicator. Let's say I want to go and change the value here to let's say, 15.9. As soon as I hit enter you will see it's updated here. There you go, it's 15.9. I'm going to change to another value 65.7 and voila 65.7 is now in the PLC. OK I can click this button. Right now the lamp is false. As soon as I click this button it will change the state. So now it's red. Voila, it's actually true. Click it again. So now it's false. So that's how the Beijer HMI X2base7 works with Omron PLC. Now Beijer HMI does work with many, many different controllers out in the market, Mitsubishi, Allen Bradley, Siemens. They have all the drivers and also for the motion controllers as well. So if you have any questions, please call us at the number below. And thanks for watching.
