Liam Bee has worked in automation for over 16 years, after starting his career at 16 years old as an instrument technician in the water industry. He began his automation journey by maintaining PLCs and the instruments connected to them. He found very early on that he had an interest in PLCs and automation, taking the time to learn PLC programming in his own time, as well as exposing himself as much as possible to automation while working.nAfter 8 years of working in maintenance, Liam started his own side business, providing bespoke controls using lower-range PLC solutions. This experience proved invaluable to his progression; he learned quickly, often through failure, and his knowledge of control design improved significantly.n12 years into his career, he moved roles again; this time, he was looking for something to fill knowledge gaps and target Siemens as he was yet to use Siemens extensively. Liam started at Aquabio Ltd and quickly found himself immersed in Siemens SIMATIC Manager and TIA Portal. Over the next 3 years, he worked hard to understand Siemens' tools and development environments, calling on knowledge from other PLC environments that he had previously worked with.nOver his years working with automation, he has learned many different languages and development environments. He has worked with Siemens, Allen Bradley, Schneider, Mitsubishi, and a host of other PLC platforms, all of which have helped shape the design concepts that he uses today. Liam has also taught himself computer programming languages such as VBA, VBS, VB.NET, C#, Java, and more. Closing the space between IT and industrial automation is important as time moves forwards and he has always tried his hardest to be at the forefront of innovation.

Downloading to an HMI

The principles behind downloading to an HMI are very similar to that of a PLC. Starting a download is performed in the same manner – by selecting the HMI in the project tree and then clicking on the Download button. Additionally, the right-click menu can be used to initiate a download.

When the Load preview window is displayed, the options differ from an HMI to a PLC:

Figure 14.6 – Load preview

The HMI Load preview window has more actions available than the PLC Load preview window, and these actions directly affect how the download is completed:

  • Load Runtime: Under certain conditions, a Delta download option is available rather than a Full download option. Delta download allows the HMI to continue running during the download process, and only changes are downloaded as opposed to the entire download. When a Full download occurs, the HMI must be stopped temporarily, and this happens automatically.
  • Runtime start...
