basanina Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hi, for a microbrewery project that we build with Unilogic we want to create or import typical brewery tanks. So we need to import or design cilindroconical tanks and other brewhouse tank shapes. Anyone who can tell us on how to do this please?

MVP 2021 Flex727 Posted December 2, 2017 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 1) Create your tank in your preferred image editing software (I use Paint because I am a simple guy). I also use .bmp for the format (though I will use .png and a different image editing software if I want a transparent background). Or obtain or purchase an image you like from another source and download it to your hard drive. 2) In UniLogic, select the Image Element type you want to use from the HMI menu. 3) Click on Image Source and navigate to the file on your hard drive and select. Which part are you having difficulty with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saragani Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 I think he also wants the tank to fill up. In this case, he should have a transparent hole in the image, and put a bar graph (meter) behind the image. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Flex727 Posted December 3, 2017 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Great point, @Saragani! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basanina Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thanks for the answers! In fact I need two different tank shapes: - conical fermenter with input/output lines for the glycol cooling and visualisation of the magnetic coil. - Brewhouse vessel with agitator motor on top. The transparant hole like Saragani mentioned is not needed because we do the water filling of these tanks manually. Guess I will discover first the internet for HMI symbols after that I can try to create it myself in Paint... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
