Step 5. Define Broadcast Session Update and Refresh Rates

The frequency with which a broadcast session updates and refreshes a view depends on how often the:

Broadcast copy of CimView updates the image and

Browser (the HTML page) requests a refresh. The HTML page is generated from the following  template files:

Refresh-IE5-template.html

Refresh-template.html

 

Field

Description

1

Update rate

Number of seconds WebView should wait between screen rewrites in the  field.

2

HTML template

Name of the HTML template that Broadcast uses to request the refresh rate.

The Update rate is specified in the template.

Refresh Rate in the  HTML template

  1. Open the templates in the ...\Program Files\GE Fanuc\Proficy CIMPLICITY\WebPages\WebView\template\Broadcast folder.

  2. Edit either refresh-template.html or refresh=IIES-template.html.

A

Refresh rate line in Refresh-template.html (seconds).

 

Example

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10; URL=$CIMHTMLFILE">

10=Seconds

Example

10 could be changed in the line  to 20.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="20; URL=$CIMHTMLFILE">

B

Refresh rate line in Refresh-IE5-template.html (milliseconds)

 

Example

Refresh-IIES-template.html

window.setTimeout("reloadIt()", 10000);

10000=Milliseconds

Example

10000 could be changed in the line to 100000.

window.setTimeout("reloadIt()", 100000).
