Messaging Settings
The Messaging Settings let you customize how messages are going to be displayed
all across your HMI.
General
List Page
Define which page inside your HMI will be responsible for displaying your messages. This page should be a Message Page.
Display Options
Let you decide how HELIO should present incoming messages to your operators.
Display only in list will add incoming messages to the Active Messages and update the Number of Active Messages.
Display in list and as Dialog will additionally display the incoming messages as a modal dialog that prompts operators to pause their current task.
On info
Choose how a new message with the Information level should be displayed.
On warning
Choose how a new message with the Warning level should be displayed.
On error
Choose how a new message with the Error level should be displayed.
How can I view these message lists?
Simply add the Message Page to your HMI.
Allow Acknowledgement by Operator
Enable this option if you would like operators to be able to acknowledge messages. Use the per-level toggles to control which message levels (Information, Warning, Error) require acknowledgement.
On acknowledge
This event gets triggered whenever an operator acknowledges a message. Use it to execute actions that inform your PLC about this fact, for example to reset a trigger condition for particular messages.
Archive Message When
New This Feature Was Added In HELIO 26.1.1
Archive When
Choose when messages are moved from the active message list into the archive:
- Message is gone: the message is archived as soon as its trigger condition no longer applies.
- Message is gone and acknowledged: the message is archived when the trigger condition no longer applies and an operator has acknowledged it.
See Messaging Storage for more details about active and archived messages.
Custom Message Icons
Override the default icons used to represent each message level (Information, Warning, Error) across the HMI.
