Building a Basic HMI Screen with Siemens SITRANS FCT070 & TIA Portal
This video shows how to interoperate data from a SITRANS FCT070 on Siemens TIA Portal. We add some process values and a control button to reset the totaliser. SIMATIC PDM is used to force / simulate a totaliser value so the HMI function can be tested.
