HMI Display Modes

Presentation

The MicroLogic X control unit HMI supports the following display modes:

Quick View mode to display a selection of data
Tree Navigation mode to access all data through a menu structure

NOTE: Both Quick View and Tree Navigation display modes are overridden by event messages.

Quick View Mode

Quick View is the default HMI display mode. It displays a selection of data screens.

When Quick View scrolling is enabled, the screens are displayed automatically one after the other with a configurable time delay.

When Quick View scrolling is disabled, the Quick View screens are available at Home > Quick View.

Tree Navigation Mode

In Tree Navigation display mode, use the contextual buttons to navigate in the menu structure. Tree Navigation display mode presents a single network of menus, with monitoring values and editable configuration settings.

Tree navigation is always accessible from Quick View screens by pressing the home button.
