Adding HMI Support Files
HMI support files (for example, PDF files) are downloaded to the controller's file system when writing the project image including the HMI data to the controller. These files can then be opened from the HMI application using the 'Action on click - Execute Command' action.
To add an HMI support file to the project, right-click the 'Support' node under the 'Application' node and select 'Add HMI Support File' from the context menu. In the file open dialog, select the file you want to download and click 'Open'.
| Note
A zero-byte HMI support file generates a compiler error. The HMI support file must be larger than zero bytes. |
The added file is shown under the 'Support' node with a separate subnode. The node name shows the filename (without extension). You can show the filename with extension by hovering the mouse over the node. Via the context menu of the node you can cut, copy, delete, and rename the node.
