Compact HMI 800 V5.1 and Windows 7 Pro 32bits

Hi, We bought a license for Compact HMI 800 V5.1; The document "3BSE040833_E_en_Compact_HMI_800_5.1_-_Overview.pdf" shows as requirements for the operating system are Windos 7 or 2008 Server (32bits).

The computer that I'm using has Win 7 Pro 32bits, Processor: Core i3 2,7GHz, RAM Memory 3Gb.

When the installation starts, It appear a error message about it can not find the workgroup. I'm attaching the image of the error message.

What do I need to review?

For Compact HMI 800 should

be installed on the 32-bit (x86) US English version of Windows Server 2008 Standard edition with Service Pack 2, or 32-bit (x86) US English version of Windows 7 Business or Enterprise edition.

Windows 7 pro vesion is provided for home user not belongs to Bussiness or Enterprise edition.

I would like to recommend you use 32-bit (x86) US English version of Windows 7 Business or Enterprise edition to install Compact HMI 800.

Gao Jianhua is correct. Another trick is to make sure you are using Internet Explorer 8, as IE9 is not supported and may cause issues as well.

If you follow all of these tricks and are still having trouble, it is best to contact your local ABB support. They will be able to troubleshoot your specific issue and PC setup.

Hi,
I am running Compact HMI 5.1 on Win 7 Pro (32bit) with SP1 without a problem.

I guess, the problem is either the version of IE (typically 9 is installed but 8 is needed!) or the language (you should use US English)

Probably Compact HMI failed to add users to the IndustrialITUsers and IndustrialITAdmin groups.

Open "Computer management" and check what kind of groups exist on your computer.

You may also need to install SP1 for Win 7 Pro.

If you have an access to the solutionsbank.abb.com check there for the follow documents:

1. "Compact HMI 800 Manual" (3BSE040587R4301)

2. "Compact HMI 800 4.1 Getting Started" (3BSE040587R4401)

There was one ineractive tutorial "Compact 800 Products Tutorial" also, but now I don't see it now.

Hi Sumit,
I couldn't open sites SolutionBank nor 100.abb.com because I'm not an ABB employer. These tutorials from you tube I already have them. Is there any other tutorials about Compact HMI version 5.1, about SoftControler (because I want to use it as a simulator).
I also have an old version of AC800M project and I can't open it with version 5.1. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks about the links, there have been useful for me. I have upgraded my PLC project to vesrion 5.1.
But, now I have faced to another problem:
1. I couldn't find some manual or video about how I can use the elements in Graphic Editor. For. example: I want to put a bar graph in the display. This bar graph I tried to connect in properties with the real value (Properties-BarValue:$'M11_Dejan/Speed_real:Value'). But when I change the value of "Speed_real", the bar graph is not changing, it is static always.

Where can I find some manual about how can I use elements in Graphical editor?
Or, if you can recomend to me a forum where this things are dissccused?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Sumit,
Thanks for your answer.
But I already checked the Engineering manual (page 381-383), but there it is not explained how this bar graph is connected with a variable.
This other link I couldn't open because it is not for Public use.

From bar graph property window you can select left/right bar value and from object or control structure you can slect related object or tag to get value, also check via data referene if any link is broken. recomended go through manuals.

Hi Sumit,
Yes I agree with you about going through manuals, but in the manual there is nothing about that, no description, no nothing. I have connect BarValue to my variable in properties, but the Bar graph is still not working. Also in help manual it is the same, no description about this issue. Any other suggestions?
