PLCViewerApp introduction

While an InTouch OMI ViewApp is running, the PLCViewerApp shows a current asset’s PLC control logic with real-time logic animation.

The PLCViewerApp provides a view within a layout pane to easily identify the current control states of a PLC. In the following example, current values associated with a function block have a blue background. Function blocks are annotated with descriptive comments that appear when hovering the mouse cursor directly over a function block shown in th app view.

The PLCViewerApp shows a three-pane window. The left navigation pane shows a vertical list of controller components by assets and function blocks. Users select an item from the component list to show its details in the right pane. The detail pane includes scroll bars to move the view horizontally and vertically. Controls are included to zoom the view in or out. The Find Results pane shows the results of a search.

Users can switch the view by selecting another controller from the Controller field shown above the two PLCViewerApp panes. The Scope field appears when selecting add-on instructions to enable selecting a specific instance to animate.
