The Workbench Studio enables you to design and integrate in your project an Embbed HMI application to be run on your Runtime Service platform, assuming that it has a graphic display available. The Embedded HMI manages the animated display of screen masks designed in the Workbench Studio with appropriate tools. Interactions between the IEC application and the embedded HMI is performed through variables (controlled by the IEC program and linked to some properties of graphic objects) plus a set of functions and function blocks.

Do the following steps to enable the Embedded HMI in your IEC application:

1. Run "Insert Shortcut / Embedded HMI" command from the context menu in the Workspace with a selected project.
2. Declare one instance of the hmiManager function block.

During step #1, you must select the kind of device (hardware display) available on your system. Refer to OEM's instructions for more information about available hardware.
