Activating Dashboard Service

To use the Dashboard on Weincloud, you need to activate the Dashboard service for your HMI device and add it to your Domain. The activation process can be divided into two scenarios: when the HMI is not yet added to the Domain, and when the HMI is already added to the Domain.

When the HMI is not yet added to the Domain

1. Obtain the HMI's Hardware Key (HWKey)

   You can obtain the HWKey in two ways:

   • On the HMI, go to System Settings > EasyAccess2.0 page to find the HWKey.
   • Use the system register LW-11210 to obtain the HWKey.

2. Activate the Dashboard for the HMI and add it to the Domain If the HMI is already in the Domain, you can skip to step

   2.1. Go to the left-hand side Directory

   2.2. Select the desired folder to join

   2.3. Click on the top-left corner and choose Dashboard

   2.4. Choose the activation method

   

   There are three activation methods: (1) New Subscription Card, (2) Use Existing Subscription, (3) Free Trial for 90 days

   (1) New Subscription Card

   

   Enter the Subscription Name, Hardware Key, Subscription Card Number, and other optional information to activate the Dashboard.

   • The Subscription Name can be found in Subscription Management and can be adjusted later.
   • The Subscription Card Number can be queried on the right side to ensure the card is not in use.

   (2) Use Existing Subscription

   

   Select the existing subscription and enter the Hardware Key, Subscription Card Number, and other optional information to activate the Dashboard. You can also adjust the number of tags you want to use for the HMI.

   • The remaining number of tags available for the subscription will be displayed next to it, with each adjustment unit being 25 tags/5 historical tags.
   • If a change of target is required, it means that the folder of the subscription is different from the one you specified. You can still join, but the system will automatically change the specified folder to the location of the subscription.

   (3) Free Trial for 90 days

   
   • Enter the Hardware Key, Subscription Card Number, and other optional information to start the 90-day trial immediately.

When the HMI is already added to the Domain

1. Go to the left-hand side Directory

2. Select the desired HMI to join

3. Scroll down to Dashboard in the right-hand side Information section and click to expand

4. You can check the Subscription Status to understand the current subscription status of the HMI

   

   (1) New Subscription Card

   Click on Subscription, choose New Subscription Card, and enter the Subscription Name and Subscription Card Number to activate the Dashboard.

   • The Subscription Name can be modified and used for searching in Subscription Management.
   • The Subscription Card Number can be queried on the right side to ensure the card is not in use.

   (2) Use Existing Subscription

   Click on Subscription, choose Existing Subscription, to activate the Dashboard. You can also adjust the number of tags you want to use for the HMI.

   • The remaining number of tags available for the subscription will be displayed next to it, with each adjustment unit being 25 tags/5 historical tags.

Dashboard Subscription Management

Dashboard subscription cards can be bound to a single HMI or distributed to multiple HMIs. When distributing to multiple HMIs, you can choose to bind them to specific folders as the authorization basis. The following explains the functions on this page.

• Add Subscription

  Clicking this button allows you to add a new Dashboard subscription. By default, it is set to multiple HMI mode and assigned to the top-level directory. After adding, you can directly add multiple HMIs to it.

  

Table Columns

• Status Displays the status of the subscription card, which can be Subscribed, Unused, Unsubscribed, Expired, or Disabled. Without additional subscription cards, the status changes as follows:

• Assigned to

  When the subscription is set to a single HMI mode, it displays the HMI name. When it is set to multiple HMIs mode, it only displays the bound folder name, which serves as the authorization basis. If the user has the Dashboard management (manage) permission for that folder, they can add, delete, or modify the number of tags for the HMIs.

• Used

  Displays the number of tags already assigned to the HMI(s).

Information

In the right-hand side information section, you can edit the subscription name and the HMIs using this subscription.

• Subscription

  You can edit the subscription name for better identification.

  

• HMI Usage

  After clicking Edit, you can adjust the subscription mode. You can switch between single and multiple HMI modes. When using multiple HMI modes, you can add multiple HMIs below the assigned directory to use this subscription and allocate the number of tags that can be used.

  

  When using multiple HMI modes, the tag allocation unit is 25 tags (including 5 historical tags). After allocation, click Save to complete.
