<page> Element

This element defines the HMI page to be created. The creation of the HMI page is triggered by the existence of an IEC code element (for example, FB instance, program instance, variable, etc.) defined by the descendant <on...> element such as <onfunctionblock>.

The child elements <pagestyle>, <dataset>, <tagset>, and <parameterset> are used to assign definitions referenced by the content of the elements to the created HMI page. The parent element <folder> is used to create a folder in which the page is to be created.

Parent element: <generation>, <folder>
