Introduction to Animation in HMI

Welcome to NFI online tutorial In this lesson we are going to learn about animations. So I have made
three animation screen, which is box animation, tank animation and door animation. Now we are using
a software named factory IO to depict the real environment. And we are going to extract information
from the real environment in our HMI screen. So in this video, we'll just see the example, what I'm going
to present you and what we are going to learn in the next videos. So starting with the box animations, so
once I click on this button, I have the screen. Now this box animation is going to represent this elements
here. So we have conveyor and we have a box. So if you see closely, what we have here, we have a
capacitive sensor. Alright, and this is an analog sensor, this is going to give me value from 0 to 10 volts,
alright, based on the distance between the sensor and the box. Okay, so we are going to animate this
one in our HMI screen. So what happened? Alright, so I have this button here, which will move my
conveyor in one direction and this button to another direction. So if I click this one, you will notice this
conveyor is running, and the range of the sensor is 0 to 10 volts. So I will only able to animate the box in
the range of 0 to 10 volts. So if you notice this 10.0 this is actually the value coming from here 10.0. So
let's see that. So you can see when the value changes here, this change is here and the box starts
moving. Alright, this is how you can move the box. And when I press the other button, this will go away.
And you will find the box will keep moving away in this environment but not in the simulation because
the sensor range is limited. If we would have the sensor range up to up to 02, or maybe more distance,
yeah, then we can animate the box here as well. So this is actually the big thing, the distance between
the center and the box. I hope this makes sense. Right. So this is the first example we will see in the
forthcoming lessons. So now let's go back to home. And let's see the tank animation. So in this
environment, we have this tank. And in this tank simulation, we have tank's fill valve, and this is tank
level meter, and we have a discharge valve. And here you can see this is a tank with a level level
measuring device, right. So let's see how we can simulate that in our HMI. So this is the tank and this is
the level and here I have made filling valve and that's my discharge valve Alright. So this is the value
which is actually the voltage which we are giving to the valve for on and off operation. This is the kind of
proportional valve in which the 0 volt means the valve is off, the 10 volts means the valve is on and
which is 100%. And if I give 5 volts, this valve is 50% o or 50% open. Alright, so let's give some value. So
this is my numeric input field. If I click on that, I have this keypad. Now if I put 2.0 and press enter, you
can see the valve will start, the valve is open and starts filling this is the representation of the real
environment. The tank level is here you can see on the scale and the tank level is here. So you will notice
if the valve is 2.0, we have this orange, if I make it 5, we have this orange which indicates always open
and this this pipe is showing more liquid. If I make it 10 you can see this is fully open. Alright, if I make it
0, this will be closed and you will see there is no flowing. So we're going to see how we can represent
how we how to make a logic to represent the actual environment in the HMI. Similarly here if I'm if I
make it 10, this is going to drain it and this is going to turn it off.

Alright, so this was the door animation, the tank animation sorry. And let's see the third type we have a
door animation. In this example we are going to see how to animate the door so we have two buttons.
This is for turning up turning up the door. This is moving down the door. So when I press this button, you
will see the door starts opening and you can see the motor is running. All right in one direction. If I press
This one, the motor is running in another direction and the door is coming down. So these are the three

that to the HMI. Alright, so I'll see you in the next video.
