Data View
About
Use the Data View to connect to data sources, define PLC connections,
import PLC data into your project, and enhance it with valuable information
such as units, limits, or ranges.
Sections
Data Source Explorer
Lets you connect to different types of Data Sources in order to import the data of these sources into your HMI Data Explorer.
HMI Data Explorer
Lets you define the data model for your project. By shaping the data appropriately, you can ensure that it best fits your HMI.
Data Layer Fundamentals
HELIO is equipped with a HELIO Data Layer that allows you to connect to different types of data sources and abstract their data in a unified way within your project.
Basic Data Types
The HELIO Data Layer provides a set of data types that can be used to describe the variables in your project. HELIO can use this type information to provide a better experience for your operators.
For example, when connected to a variable of a numeric type, a Magic Input element will adjust itself to make it easier to enter numeric values.
