Communication & PLCs – configure connections step by step
Understand simulation, driver selection and device profiles. Configure Modbus TCP, Siemens S7, and OPC UA, then verify your first value.
Demo: getting started and limitations
Start here: symbols and address formats, local simulation and unavailable PLC connections.
Introduction
Learn how to build a process screen from displays and controls, then start a small practice project.
Create and save a project
Name a project, wait for its files to be created and begin on the main page.
Create and configure pages
Add an Anlagenübersicht page, set up its working area and save it with the project.
Add and format labels
Create the heading Anlagenübersicht in 36-pixel bold text with the Pamaglawe teal color.
Insert images and state graphics
Place a tank and configure its dimensions.
Show a tank level with a bar
Place a narrow level bar within the tank.
Display a level as a number
Add a readable percentage below the bar inside the tank.
Calculate tank volume with a formula
Copy a cylinder formula into the project and use it for value output.
Add a setpoint input
Prepare an input showing 60 beside the tank, in design mode without writing to a PLC.
Insert and label a button
Prepare an on/off toggle below the setpoint field without assigning a process connection.
Navigate between pages
Configure a button from Anlagenübersicht to Hauptseite and a return button, then test both directions.
Display a process state as text
Map preview value 2 to the red message Störung, then add English translations.
Enter a batch text
Prepare a text input containing CH-001 with the caption Charge.
Configure a stack light
Four individually labeled segments display machine status, material requests or operating conditions.
Display process values as a trend
A trend records up to six process values against time, each with its own name, source and color.
Configure an alarm object on a process page
An alarm object displays messages from its own configured data source, address range and message definitions on the page where it is placed.
Configure global alarms
Define project-wide alarm messages and test the complete active, acknowledged and cleared sequence with a local simulation button.
Operating mode with a PLC connection
Configure operating mode and assign a dedicated process symbol.
Checkbox with a PLC connection
Configure checkbox and assign a dedicated process symbol.
Option group with a PLC connection
Configure option group and assign a dedicated process symbol.
On/off switch with a PLC connection
Configure on/off switch and assign a dedicated process symbol.
Setpoint slider with a PLC connection
Configure setpoint slider and assign a dedicated process symbol.
Numeric stepper with a PLC connection
Configure numeric stepper and assign a dedicated process symbol.
Control a traffic light with one process value
The traffic light has red, yellow and green lamps in a fixed order.
Display operating hours as a duration or decimal hours
The operating-hours display converts a numeric counter into a duration or decimal hours.
Display the date and time
Date / Time uses the system clock of the computer running PamaGlawe.
Display progress as a percentage bar
Progress shows a numeric process value as a filled bar and a number.
Open a detail window with a hotspot
A hotspot is an invisible clickable area in Play mode.
Display numbers with the LCD object
LCD renders a process value as segment digits in DEC, BIN, HEX or OCT.
Display a measurement on a circular gauge
The gauge shows a measurement with a pointer and an optional numeric value beneath it.
Display connection status
Status reports whether recent data has arrived for the assigned device or IP address.
Display several process values in a table
A value table combines up to sixteen independently assigned values.
Display two process values as an XY position
X controls horizontal position and Y vertical position.
Display states with text and translations
The state display maps up to sixteen exact PLC values to messages.
Keyboard shortcuts
A compact, separately printable reference for selecting and editing objects in design mode.
Show and hide objects with a collapsible area
A collapsible area groups objects beneath a clickable header. Assigned contents are hidden when collapsed and shown again when expanded. This example includes a button.
Configure lines, arrowheads and process-based colors
Line / Arrow draws a straight line with optional arrowheads. Choose a fixed color or change the color according to a process value. This example checks off, on and fault states.
Notepad – create shift notes
Create shift handover notes with an author and recipient, then mark entries as read or open.
PID controller – simulation and manual operation
Insert a PID controller, explore proportional control in simulation and set the output manually.
Polyline – shape and state colors
Draw a right-angle polyline, add an end arrowhead and control its color with a dedicated process symbol.
Frame – visually organize page areas
Insert a group frame, add a caption and format its heading to match the process page.
Tabs – organize content across tab pages
Insert a tab container, name its tabs and switch between their assigned contents.
Recipe – transfer setpoints to the simulator
Create a test recipe with one setpoint, validate its limits and verify the confirmed transfer to the Modbus test server.
Scroll area – fit more content into a small space
Insert a vertical scroll area, set its inner height and assign displays to its scrollable contents.
Virtual PLC – Structured Text, IF, CASE and simulation
Build simulation logic step by step: insert IF and CASE blocks at the cursor, add commands and test execution with Start, Pause, Continue and Stop.
Users – login, roles and permissions
Configure project accounts, understand role permissions and test allowed and blocked actions with a practice account.
PDF – Configure and display a document
Link a PDF to a process page: select a file, configure its display and read or print the document in play mode.
Open PDF – Choose a file during runtime
Use Browse to choose a PDF, such as an older batch report or service report. Learn how this differs from a configured PDF and which permissions apply.
Protocol – Record process values and create a PDF
Configure a process protocol, start and finish it manually or through a PLC trigger, and document start/end readings or statistical values.
Top bar – the upper toolbar
The top bar from left to right: project commands, settings, tools, grid controls, play mode and application exit.
Settings – Configure the application and project
Understand top-bar settings for image editing, startup, date/time, fonts, on-screen input, communication and language.
PLC table – Manage and edit signals
Communication table and editor: find signals, understand sources, edit rows, save CSV files and validate the table.
Translator – Edit language files
Select interface texts, maintain translations and save language files. Understand source text, fallbacks and application-wide effects.
Pixel image editor – Edit small PNG graphics
Create transparent PNGs, draw individual pixels, sample colours and insert images. Understand image size, zoom and saving.
Object catalogue – Find objects in the project
Browse project objects by page and type, search names or signals and jump directly to a matching object.
Check project – Find and work through tasks
Review notices, warnings and errors, navigate to affected objects and deliberately mark tasks as completed.
Libraries – Load and open specialist packages
Select installed packages, understand activation status and open libraries. Distinguish installation, activation and role permissions.
