1 The news about Premium HMI 4.0.1154
Premium HMI 4.0.1154 introduces some important new features specifically designed to simplify and speed
up the programming of HMI applications without having to resort to the use of the script.
Was also held the usual activity of bug fixes which improves the overall quality of the development and
Runtime environment.
1.1 New commands to export data
With Premium 4.0.1154 HMI there are now available some new native commands for exporting historical
without having to resort to scripting procedures.
New commands are then available to export of data stored for data logger, alarm and Audit Trail.
1.1.1 New command to export Dataloggers
The new command is available in the "Report-recipes” category.
The command creates a CSV text file with all the content of the archive.
There are a few options for customizing the format and how data will be exported.
 You can establish which character to use as a separator.
 It is possible to define in advance a fixed path for exporting data, or leave to the operator to decide at
each execution of the command.
 You can add to the name of each exported file a prefix that identifies the time when was made the
export operation.

1.1.3 New command to export Audit Trail
The new command is available in the "Report-recipes” category.
The command creates a CSV text file with all the historical content of the Audit Trail. The Audit Trail is an
archive that contains a history of the changes in value applied to one or more variables identified by time, by
the old value and the new one and the indication of which user changed the value.

1.2 Import tag filter
Premium HMI 4.0.1154 introduces the ability to apply filters during import of variables directly in the moment
you select them before actually they are really imported; this significantly improves the tag selection process
which is often taking considerable time depending on how big is the PLC database. This new feature makes
it extremely easy to make a wise choice of variables to be imported to prevent the insertion in the project a
lot of unnecessary items weighting Runtime execution of the project.

The filter can be applied to the name, address and type at the same time. Simply start typing inside the text
box to filter the list which will be populated according to the filtered content.
The tag import filter is protocol dependent and it has been implemented for the following protocols:

1.3 Drag & Drop
Premium HMI 4.0.1154 introduces on the Windows 32/64 platforms the innovative function to drag & drop
and resize objects during execution of the project through the use of the mouse and touch interface.
The "Dragging" allows you to move or resize a symbol using the mouse during Runtime. Its size and position
values are then shown in the bounded variables.
This property is part of the "animations" property of controls, and will be available on all objects that support
it.
The drag and drop function at Runtime is a tool very important and very effective for projects with a high
degree of dynamism respect the the placement of objects. This category of functions is for example
extremely useful to create applications in the packaging area where is frequently requested to the operator to
determine the positioning of workpieces and storage or object stacking.
1.4 New option to execute specific commands upon selected alarm on
touch systems
One of the most common requests made by users when dealing with the display of alarms, is that you can
associate with each alarm an action that can be executed after selecting the alarm while it is still present in
the active alarms.
This feature was applicable in the past only to systems with keyboard as the triggering event of the
programmed action is the "CTRL + double click", which of course is not practical on system with only the
touch interface.

The alarm window has changed by adding an additional button to run the command specified in the
"commands to CTRL + double Click" property which is available for each threshold of all alarms.
1.5 Database limits extension
Premium HMI 4.0.1154 significantly extends the actual limits for the maximum number of columns that you
can use in your database tables.
With specific reference to WinCE systems on ARM architecture (HMI25/HMI30/LP3x) and the use of
relational database (Microsoft SQL CE Compact), it has been extended to 1024 the maximum number of
columns configurable in a table, i.e. in a recipe structure or datalogger.
This avoids the need to concatenate the recipes and thus greatly simplifies their use.
1.6 Embedded reports improvements
"Reports" resources allow very efficiently to implement directly from the HMI environment complex and
complete printing reports that bring data both from the real time data base and from the historical archives
such as the datalogger.
Premium version 4.0.1154 extends the support of reports introducing the possibility to get the data from all
the available archive even at the same time.
1.6.1 New option “Audit trail” source
Premium HMI 4.0.1154 allows to create Reports getting data from the Audit Trail database.
The Audit Trail resource has been newly introduced now, next to the others already present like recipes,
dataloggers and historical events.
1.6.2 Chronological reports with multiple sources
Premium HMI 4.0.1154 allows to create embedded reports getting data from multiple databases at the same
time providing a chronological representation of the recorded events.
Pagina 9 di 14
Nota Tecnica
TN0026
Selecting in the report configuration data source property the "multiple sources" option you have now the
ability to select which archives have to be included in between all the available at project level.
This allows you to create a report of events in exact chronological order, this function is extremely useful in
all applications requiring traceability documentation of operator actions.
1.7 New option to interpolate the trend curve drawing
The Trend Viewer has been enhanced to include a new option for drawing curves with interpolation in the
cases over sampling (constant value for different samples) or when for different reasons the sample value is
actually missing in real-time database, for example due to a communications failure generated at the
protocol level.
The option exists at the level of each trend pen and lets you specify the number of samples to interpolate in
the event that the sampled value of the variable is constant.
The interpolation allows you to switch between serrated views like the imagine left to a more blunt and
smooth as that one shown on the right.
1.8 New option for sliders
Sliders are HMI objects that allow you to change the value of the connected variable by dragging a slider or
aiming directly on a graduated scale with the mouse or finger if there is a pure touch interface.
The previous way of working had only the possibility to write directly to the controller memory all the changes
at the fastest possible rate while the cursor was moving.

With Premium 4.0.1154 there is an additional option allowing to slow down the execution of the Scriptures by
introducing a delay between them.
1.9 New command to wake up from screen saver
It is often useful for the HMI application to interact with the screen saver function and determine when to
wake up the unit from the “sleeping” status as a result for example of an event that triggered an alarm.
The command is available in the category "System" and can be used in conjunction with an event to wake up
the system from the screen saver mode.

1.10 Premium HMI Runtime license identification
With Premium HMI Runtime 4.0.1154 you will be able to identify the type of the present license directly from
the output window allowing a direct verification of the correspondence between license set in your project
and purchased license. The same information is also displayed in the system log during startup of the
Runtime, visible so even if no project loaded.
1.11 Premium HMI Runtime license extensions
Premium HMI 4.0.1154 introduces several extensions to the functionalities of the different licenses.
All the news are summarized and highlighted in the following table.
For all the existing installations it will be enough to update the Runtime to benefit from the new features per
each license type.
Worthy of note are in particular the extension of the amount of IO bytes readable from the controllers and the
number of programmable alarms.
Pagina 12 di 14
Nota Tecnica
TN0026
In the context of the functions related to the alarms you can also send SMS notifications through an Internet
gateway that receives an email and converts the message in text format; this is especially interesting for low
cost HMI systems that can now use this notification modality without necessarily using a GSM modem with
consequent increase in the cost.
Very important about the Basic license for Win32 systems the extension introduced in order to better give to
this license type a realistic role into the field of simple HMI based on Win32 x86 platforms when the cost is
an important variable and it is not possible to adopt the cheaper hardware solutions. For the Basic Win32
license there are no more limits for using the VBA interfaces which have been made all available.
The VBA script functions extend further with the introduction of new interfaces for interaction at Runtime with
protocol configuration parameters such as the IP address of the stations that can change dynamically during
the execution of the project.

2 Communication protocols
The Premium 4.0.1154 release contains a number of very important news concerning the communication
protocols, vital elements for the optimal integration of each HMI application.
The full changelog and details of all changes introduced in the communication protocols is available on the
website and directly downloaded from this link.
Here are some other important changes.
2.1 New communication drivers for Simatic TIA programmable systems
We have introduced two new communication drivers for the complete support of the recent Simatic
controllers programmable with Step7 TIA Portal.

Nota Tecnica
TN0026
2.2 Ethernet S7 TIA Protocol
S7 TIA Portal protocol supports importing symbols directly from the PLC project developed in the Step7 TIA
Portal environment.
No action is necessary or preparation; the only requirement for the importer is that the PLC project is
developed in "compatible" or "optimized" mode, in other words with the assignment of the physical address
of memory resources on the PLC.
Simply point from the Premium HMI importer to the TIA project file and mnemonic from the PLC project will
be extracted and made available for import into the Premium HMI project.
2.3 Ethernet S7 TIA PROFINET Protocol
The S7 TIA PROFINET driver implements the native communications protocol used by S7-1200/1500 series
controllers based on the use of symbolic addressing mode and it does no longer use the absolute memory
address. The Protocol has an importer of symbols that automatically provides to extract from the PLC project
all symbols defined allowing the creation of corresponding variables in Premium HMI.
The availability of this Protocol actually aligns the ASEM HMI systems performance and capacity to the
Siemens native systems resulting in unparalleled flexibility and ease of use.
3 Bug fix
A detailed list of bug fixing activity made into Premium HMI 4.0.1154 is available through the reserved area
of the corporate web site after identification.
Premium HMI Setup is available for download from the website, in the dedicated area.
