Creating an Object and its Defining Data Sources

In the Web HMI model, configuring real time data sources for object variables allows Web HMI to retrieve data from applicable CIMPLICITY points. The object variables must reference the CIMPLICITY points using the OPC UA node format. This topic assumes you have created object variables as part of your model, which you created as part of your setup prerequisites.

Procedure

  1. Select the object from the list to display the details on the right.
  2. Open the project information CSV file that you exported from CIMPLICITY (per the Exporting CIMPLICITY Model Data to Web HMI topic).
  3. Locate the data in the file and then enter it in the applicable data row under Data Variables.
    As shown above, the #TagGroupHeader row matches the headings and the TagGroup row shows the information you should enter in the data row.
  4. Click the Save button in the upper right corner.
