Introduction
RexHMI covers all tools and libraries necessary for creating human-machine interfaces (visualizations) for the REXYGEN system. There are three different types of visualization the WebWatch, the WebBuDi and the one created by REXYGEN HMI Designer.
- WebWatch(Chapter 2) is an auto-generated HMI from the REXYGEN Studio development tool during project compilation. It has similar look, attributes and functions as the Watch mode of the REXYGEN Studio development tool. The WebWatch is a perfect tool for instant creation of HMI that is suitable for system developers or integrators. It provides a graphical interaction with almost all signals in the control algorithm.
- REXYGEN HMI Designer(Chapter 3) creates a standard SVG file with the RexHMI extensions. The REXYGEN HMI Designer is a great tool for creating graphical HMI that is suitable for operators and other end users.
- WebBuDi(Chapter 4), which is an acronym for Web Buttons and Displays, is a simple JavaScript file with several declarative blocks that describe data points which the HMI is connected to and assemble a table in which all the data is presented. It provides a textual interaction with selected signals and is suitable for system developers and integrators or may serve as a fall-back mode HMI for non-standard situations.
All the tools result to the HTML5 web page served from the internal REXYGEN web server. The HMI can be accessed using desktop, tablets and also mobile devices. Recommended web browsers are Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The HMI is based on HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and WebSockets.
Usually the HMI is downloaded to the target device using HMI block in the exec.mdl file. In the project directory create exec.mdl file (or use predefined templates from the Start-up wizard). Add the HMI block to the executive, set the IncludeHMI parameter and then enable WebWatch visualization (GenerateWebWatch parameter) or create your custom one. Once configured the visualization is downloaded using Compile and Download function in the REXYGEN Studio design tool to the target device. The HMI is accessible from the internal server of the target device for example at http://192.168.1.100:8008/hmi.
The URL can include additional parameters to influence the behaviour of the HMI:
- virtualKeyboard - Activating virtual keyboard on devices with a touchscreen. Used typically on panel PCs powered by Linux, where the operating system does not provide such a feature natively.
- noLogout - Hiding the Logout link. Typically used in devices operating in kiosk mode.
Example: http://192.168.1.100:8008/hmi/index.html?virtualKeyboard=true&noLogout=true
For the special cases user can create its own HMI based on the JavaScript and custom HTML or SVG components. For that purpose the REX.HMI function library is available. Chapter 5 describes all functions with parameters.
Chapter 2
WebWatch
2.1 Automatic Generation of HMI from REXYGEN Studio
WebWatch is automatically generated HMI based on the project structure. It is similar to the Watch mode in REXYGEN Studio. The whole scheme is generated to web page. User can monitor all signals from selected blocks, change block parameters and read the data from TRND blocks. The WebWatch is generated automatically using HMI block in project main file.
- Insert HMI block to the exec.mdl file of your project
- Check GenerateWebWatch and IncludeHMI to enable WebWatch generation
- Run Compile and Download
- Open the web browser and navigate to your target device eg. http://192.168.1.100:8008/hmi.
- Use left mouse click (touch) for changing the block parameters and right mouse click (long touch) for enabling the block monitoring.
2.2 Advanced Usage
The auto-generated scheme can be adjusted manually. (Note: If the GenerateWebWatch in HMI block is enabled the HMI is generate whenever the scheme is compiled. So for manual adjustment disable the GenerateWebWatch option in HMI block.)
Edit the REX.HMI.init = function(){} function in the selected *.html file. There are only few functions for the WebWatch HMI, but you can use all the functions described in chapter 5.
REX.WebWatch.enableMonitoring(blockIDs)
– Enable monitoring of the selected blocks from the beginning (after web page is
loaded).
Param |
Type |
Description |
|
||
blockIDs |

REXYGEN HMI Designer
3.1 A Graphical Designer of Web HMI
REXYGEN HMI Designer (The REXYGEN HMI Designer is build on the well-known SVG editor InkscapeTM https://inkscape.org/en/.) is tool for designing the custom visualizations using predefined components. The whole HMI is stored in the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file with REXYGEN specific extensions.
When the visualization is ready the HTML page with all necessary libraries is generated. Such a webpage can be easily generated and downloaded to the target device from ./hmi directory using Compile and Download function of the REXYGEN Studio development tool.
Each HMI scheme composes from several components which are connected to the signals from the control system. These components are organized in libraries. The example HMI on fig. 3.1 contain one Button, two LEDs and several GeneralComponents for pool and flower animations.
The HMI components are controlled via extensions (on fig. 3.2) which edit the REXYGEN HMI specific parameters and allow the export of the final HMI.
- Browse Components Library (Ctrl + L) – Open the folder with all available components. Each component is stored as a SVG file which can be drag&dropped to the current HMI
- Edit Component (Ctrl + E) – Open edit window for the selected component or for the whole project if nothing is selected.
- Edit HMI Config – Open edit window for the general HMI configuration.
- Export HMI (Ctrl + H) – Exports the content of the SVG file to the HTML5 webpage with all necessary libraries. This extension is configured via parameters of the whole project.
- Group Animation (Ctrl + J) – Enable animation of the transformations (translation, rotation, scale), opacity or color of the selected object (SVG group) based on the values from the control system. Or you can use the extension to create clickable button.
- Purify – Finds all invalid component in the document a removes them. The component is invalid either if does not contain any valid JSON configuration or visible content like rectangles, texts, etc.
- Update Components – Extension for updating the schema to new version
- Version Info – Show current version of the REXYGEN HMI Designer and HMI tools.
3.2 General configuration of the HMI
Every custom visualization create using REXYGEN HMI Designer must contain general configuration which is stored in the HMI Config element. The element is added automatically with new document or after first use of Edit Component extension. The general configuration consists of three sections
- Connections - The list of connections between the HMI and REXYGEN
- Options - General options for the HMI. See the subsection 3.4.1 for all available options.
- HMTL export - Configuration of the HTML export
3.2.1 Connections tab
The connection tab contains table maps between an Alias (the name of the data point in HMI) and connection string (the path where the value is read or written form the REXYGEN). Each connection can have one of two types:
- R – Read item, the values are read from the target,
- W – Write item, the value can be written to the target after change.
There are two more special types the
- L – Local item, X – Expression item, which will be described later.
When the HMI Config is opened the Aliases of the data points used in the HMI components are loaded automatically. Also the R or W type is selected based on the type of the component (e.g. The Button value data point will point to the W rite connection, but Led value will point to the Read one). For these connections just use the browse function to fill the connection string.
Press Browse button. The login dialog will be opened. Unless you changed the login credentials, use the default username admin with an empty password. After a successful login the connection tab is expanded with a tree-view of the running algorithm. Select Connection String field of the selected Alias and afterwards browse the tree to the desired block and double-click the parameter. The connection string of the parameter is copied to the alias. Follow this procedure to fill all the R and W connections. For basic example see [1].
The Local connection type (L) represents a variable. User can define custom item which can be read or written using standard HMI components. The default value is set using Connection string field. The Local item is available only for current webpage. So if you refresh the webpage or open new one in different tab the default value is loaded.
The Expression connection type (X) is used for evaluation expression above other aliases. The alias is read only and updates whenever any of the selected items change. The alias name used in the expression is surrounded by curly brackets. For example:
The available operations are:
- Arithmetic – +, -, *, /, %
- Bitwise – not (~), and (&), or (|), xor (^|)
- Shift – left (<<), right (>>), right logical (>>>)
- Logical – not, and, or, xor
- Relations – ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=
- Constants – pi, e, true, false, null
The expression can point to item type. It can contain constants such as numbers or strings. The type of value is set based on the type of value from used connection. If the expression cannot be evaluated, you will se error log message in the HMI webpage. You can also use expression to concat strings. The example of simple usage of local and expression types is shown in the following figure 3.3.
Note: If expression item points to another expression item the target item MUST be always defined before. The items are sorted alphabetically based on the used Alias so the target item must have proper name.
3.2.2 Options tab
See the subsection 3.4.1 for all available options.
3.2.3 HTML Export tab
There are two levels of the HTML export configuration. Basic level allows user to change title of the webpage and title in header of the webpage. Also it is possible to disable generation of tooltips.
When the Expert mode is activated user can change following advance options:
- Output filename – the path for the output HTML file when Export HMI Ctrl + H extension is used
- RexHMI Template path – usually the HTML resources like CSS styles, images, Javascript libraries are copied from the REXYGEN default installation directory during HTML export. User can supply custom resources file (e.g. older version of the resources, customized theme, etc.). The resources file must be archive with *.zip file format.
- Create viewbox – If selected the SVG document fits into the viewbox of the rendered webpage. The aspect ration is preserved. If the option is unselected the SVG size is not changed so only part of the document can be visible and the scrollbar can be shown.
- Library Path – Each HMI component uses combination of SVG file and javascript
resources. The default libraries are included to the project automatically if the Library
Path table is empty. If not user must select directory paths where resources
for HMI components are located. The path check during HTML export is
folowing:
- Absolute path – If the path is absolute just use it or show error if not directory.
- Relative path, exclude default libraries is not selected – Check if the string in the library path is not same as Default library name. If so use the default library. If not check if exist and use it otherwise show error.
- Relative path, exclude default libraries is selected – During HTML export check if the directory on the relative path exist otherwise show an error.
3.3 REXYGEN HMI Designer extensions
3.3.1 Group animation
Group animation extension allow to turn SVG group into custom HMI component. At first draw some shape or group several elements together using Ctrl + G shortcut. Then open the Group Animation extension using Ctrl + J. Now there are several choices:
- Translate X – Move selected group in the X direction based on the signal from chosen datapoint.
- Translate Y – Move selected group in the Y direction based on the signal from chosen datapoint.
- Rotate – Rotate selected group around the rotation center selected in the group before the extension was called. The rotation is set from the signal from chosen datapoint.
- Scale – Scale selected in chosen direction based on the signal from chosen datapoint.
- Opacity – Change opacity of the whole group based on the signal from chosen datapoint.
- Change Color – Change fill or stroke color based on the signal from chosen datapoint.
- Turn group into a button – Create custom clickable button which has same parameters and behavior as the Button component.
Note: The group can be either button or have a several group animations.
When all the wanted animations are checked, just press OK to create the custom component. From now on the parameters of the component are now editable using Element Editor extension. If some of the animation is not wanted anymore you can just open the group animation extension again and change your choice.
3.3.2 Update Components
Update Component extension will check all the components in the current file and compare them between the version in the library. If the version is different it will propose the type of the upgrade. We have three types:
- None – Do nothing.
- Partial – Change metadata and copy parameters, do not touch underlying SVG.
- Full – Upgrade whole component SVG and metadata.
The upgrade algorithm will choose the best upgrade option for you.
3.4 List of available components
There are several predefined HMI components in the component library. Every component is represented as one SVG file which can be drag&drop to the current visualization scheme. The library is divide to five main groups:
- GENERAL - Set of common components like buttons, inputs, sliders, gauges for visualization of basic variables.
- HOME - Set of components for home automation, like various pipes, valves, radiators, boilers and more.
- HVAC - Specialized library for heating, ventilation and air conditioning visualizations.
- CHARTS - Specialized library for various charts.
- PROC - Specialized library for process control visualizations.
Every component has some data points which provide the interaction between live data and state of the HMI. Mostly you can find:
- value - the main data point where value is read or written,
- disable_by - the component is disabled when connected to non-zero value,
- hide_by - the component is hidden when connected to non-zero value.
and various options which are described in the following text. The components are sort alphabetically.

WebBuDi
4.1 Simple Buttons and Displays on the Web
WebBuDi is an acronym for Web Buttons and Displays, is a simple JavaScript file with several declarative blocks that describe data points which the HMI is connected to and assemble a table in which all the data is presented. It provides a textual interaction with selected signals and is suitable for system developers and integrators or may serve as a fall-back mode HMI for non-standard situations.
WebBuDi is composed from several rows (a graphical components with pre-defined function and look) connected to a single item in the control system (specified by an aliasor a cstring property). There are different rows according to the type they are changing (for boolean, numbers, dates, etc.). All rows are organized in sections (colored blocks which can have a heading). The sections are then organizes in several columns.
The configuration is done using JavaScript objects. See 4.1 for more details.
Example
2// Simple PID controller example
3
4// Optional - Add items first
5REX.WebBuDi.addItems([
6{alias: 'PID_MAN', cstring: 'pidcontrol_control.CNB_MAN:YCN', write: true}
7]);

9// Add WebBuDi section
10REX.WebBuDi.addSection({
11column: 1,
12title: 'User controls',
13rows: [
14{alias: 'PID_MAN', desc:'Controller mode', type: 'DW', label_false: 'AUT', label_true:'MAN'},
15{type:'ES'},
16{alias: 'SP_AW', cstring: 'pidcontrol_control.CNR_sp:ycn', desc:'Setpoint', type: 'AW'}
17]
18});

20// Show graph from TRND block
21REX.HMI.Graph.addSignal({cstring: 'pidcontrol_control.TRND_PIDU', labels: ['Process value','Manipulated variable','Setpoint']});

23// Set different target address
24// REX.HMI.setTargetUrl('ws://192.168.1.100:8008/rex');

26// Set refresh rate (Default: 500 ms)
27REX.HMI.setRefreshRate(100);

- .add() => REX.HMI.WebBuDi
- .addItems(items) => Array.<REX.WS.Item>
REX.WebBuDi.addSection(opt) => REX.HMI.WebBuDi
The addSection adds new rows / HMI components to the web page.
The section contains all components defined in rows array. It can have title shown in header. The whole section can be controlled via disable_by and hide_by item. Finally the section is placed to the column (index based).
The function calls can be chained or called via alias REX.WebBuDi.add().

REX.HMI library
5.1 How to Use the Library
The user can program the HMI over REX.HMI interface. It contain several public methods for reading and writing items from REX targets. To create and build your custom HMI based on the RexHMI library follow these steps:
- Create project directory with exec.mdl. Add the HMI block to the executive (see the [2] for more details)
- Create *.hmi.js file in ./hmisrc directory with REX.HMI.init = function(){} function inside.
- Start writing your script
When the script is ready, enable generation of RexHMI using GenerateRexHMI parameter in the HMI block of the executive. Then run Compile and Download function in the REXYGEN Studio. The content of the *.hmi.js file is inserted to the RexHMI template with all the necessary scripts and libraries, also all other content of the hmisrc directory is copied to the target ./hmi folder. The HMI is then downloaded to the target and available from the internal webserver.
The REX.HMI interface is described in following sections. Each function contain short example with common parameters.
2// Append this function to the HTML document or use predefined placeholder in the template
3REX.HMI.init = function(){
4// Change some basic settings

This method can be override by the user. The init is called when the websocket connection is opened and one can add own items for RW operations. The method can be called either synchronously or asynchronously with callback. Example of the REX.HMI.init function is part of the HTML template
Example
2REX.HMI.init = function(){
3REX.HMI.addItem({alias:"SP", cstring:"task.block:param"});
4}
5
6// Init with callback
7REX.HMI.init = function(done){
8done();
9}
Connect the RexHMI to the target. This function is called automatically
Disconnect all items from the target. Stop reading and dispose connections to all targets.
REX.HMI.getTarget(url) =>WSTarget
Return REX target base on the given URL. If URL is null (the most common case) then it returns the default target.
Param |
Type |

Example
2REX.HMI.getTarget().getVersion().then((data)=>{console.log(data)})
REX.HMI.setTargetUrl(url, force) =>Promise
Sets the new default target URL. When the page is served from server (not localhost) and the location.hostname is set the setTargetURL function sets NULL to use default targetURL. So the target connects to the location which the page is served from.
This behaviour can be changed by setting the force parameter tu true. Than the ‘url’ will be used on any occasion.
