I am very new new to Labview and looking for help bulding HMI. Please, does anyone know how to get interface displays such as pump, pipelines, valves and equipment onto main panel?

Does Labview have the above objects on its control pallet or somewhere that I can use?

Please, help...

Thanks,
Auggie

 

Hello,

There are several strategies to build HMI with LabVIEW. The simpliest way to have valve/pump on the front panel is to customise the indicator (replace bitmap of lamp with bitmap of valve).
AFAIK, there is SCADA-branch from ni - "Vision". So, have a look at the product.

Hi Auggie,

In most SCADA/HMI application, I always recommend using the LabVIEW Datalogging, Supervisory and Control Add-on.

This will give you industrial type icons for your front panel, easy to implement unlimited tags (Shared-Variable), enhance security, datalogging to an optimized database, Alarms and Events monitoring and more... Basically, features that are for the SCADA/HMI experts.
