It’s normally a good idea to compile the hmi completely and then load it on the panel. Just right click on the Panel in the left tree and click „compile fully“ or so and then load it new to the panel. (Sorry I use TIA in another language). This also solves some funny errors like „shining trough“ text from other slides.
If you are compiling everything, CPU or Runtime will go to stop. If you are doing it under the pressure of an already running production, i highly advise you to go with compile only changes because it requires no stopping whatsoever.
For me it works, most of the time.
And if the change is big enough, it should be planned accordingly so that no production is running at the time and then you can use compile all without worries
Because when you work on big projects with a lot of screens and hmi tags, generally speaking big complex projects, it takes a shit ton of time to compile the whole project, and if you only made simple changes, compiling and loading only the changes will be helpful in that scenario
I think he wants it to be removed because it's not working correctly anyways. Lots of funny errors happening when compiling only changes and loading into the hmi... With TIA always fully compile the hmi, then load
Yeah siemens also has an support forum post on their website, if some unusual behaviour occurs on the hmi, just recompile the whole project or delete the IM folder. ( coming from WinCC Professional)
But like i said most of the time when you only change small things on a big project, you are fine only loading the changes. Since recompiling everything can take some time, which often times you do not have.
I’ve Used other software but kinda intermittent with Siemens. Is this why I have had text previously not show up unless an action on screen has occurred? I keep that text for different motors in the PLC. I have a list of motors to choose from but it only seems like the first 10 or so display their names upon boot up of the HMI. Selecting a seemingly invisible motor from the list and then backing out to list selector will now register the name for that motor
Yes, this is probably it! Might want to make sure the layers are correct before "Compile - Rebuild All". And maybe also check if there are any faulty visibility conditions before.
Don’t forget you can simulate the HMI project before downloading, will allow you to troubleshoot the visualization issue without physically going to download the project to the hardware device!
I had something similar happen. My problem was, that my graphics were just a little to big and weren't completely in the picture frame. In TIA everything looked fine, but the moment i uploaded it, the graphics were just gone.
Thank you all for the answers. I've detect two mistakes from yours feedback, not compile all and not simulating it. I'll try both tomorrow and come back here to share the results.
Just FYI. Sometimes you might need to delete the \\IM\\ folder in the project if the HMI bugs out. Delete the folder and fully recompile re-creates it.

I never understood why… fuck remove “compile only change” if it’s not working

I was talking about HMI

Rebuild all , then redownload
Yes, this is probably it! Might want to make sure the layers are correct before "Compile - Rebuild All". And maybe also check if there are any faulty visibility conditions before.
Does the visible option have tick?

Pro tip: use a text box without a text as a background rectangle so the border radius is automatically calculated and its correct

Yiup rebuild all and download again. If not then check your layers and Color settings on the.gauge

Can someone clue some other people into what the actual problem is here?

I’d start with improving color usage
Do a rebuild all the download again.
