Other key features
The S-WebEditor 8 is available in several languages
(
German, English, French). The language manage-
ment for the web-HMI application has been im-
proved. Unicode is supported and the different lan-
guages can be displayed and checked in the Editor. A
range of image formats (JPG, PNG, SVG, GIF) are sup-
ported and the images can be resized in the WebEdi-
tor. The GIF-format required by the runtime is auto-
matically generated and displayed.
There are new key elements called «CheckBox»,
«
FileViewer», «Dropdownlists» and «Tacho». In the
old version these were only available as macros. Also
new are hierarchical groups, so that groups can now
be nested within each other at various layers. The
groups and individual items within a group can be
worked on individually. The library management for
macros, views, graphics, project templates etc. has
been simplified and extended.
A solid foundation for the future
The newVersion 8 is a solid foundation for future tech-
nological developments relating to our Saia®Web-
HMI concept. The engineering time has been reduced
considerably and allows the application developer to
work with the Web HMI technology to differentiate
themselves from their competitors. The development
process is making good progress, and the product will
be released during the third quarter of 2012.
The solution pad displays the project overview.
Multiple projects can be worked on in a single
solution. The various files are shown in tree
structure. The user can adapt and extend the
structure according to his requirements.
In the properties pad, the features and status
of the item at run time can be configured quickly
and easily with just a few clicks.
The «document outline» pad document shows the
structure and items of a View. The items are shown in
the processing sequence, which can be easily adjusted
by the user via drag and drop.
In addition layers are now supported. These can be
hidden, shown, or locked. This significantly simplifies the
editing complex HMI pages. Items can also be selected
and grouped quickly. The properties of individual items
in a group can now be changed without removing the
group.
New powerful action and
condition editors. With these
editors multiple actions can be
assigned to a button. There are
many different action types to
choose from (simply writing a
variable, mathematical opera-
tions, view/URL jump etc.)
