1.2 Structure of the applications

An application represents the entire dialog between the user and the automated process. An application is developed based on the user requirements:

User Requirement Control System Interface

• Process control

• Production monitoring

• Preventive maintenance

Operator Concerns

• User interface

• Level of involvement

Developer Concerns

• Program structure

• Data structure

• Debugging

• Updating

These characteristics determine that your application must be structured. An application consists of a series of pages, which form a tree structure as shown in the following example:

Automatic operation

R1 Automatic operation

Start hydraulic unit

End of lift of manipulator

The application is organized into menus and submenus.

Each page may include the following:

• Static alphanumeric text

• Variable fields used to:

Display the values indicating control system status

(status of a bit, a single or double word, a floating point word, or an ASCII string); or

Enter parameters for operating the control system

(modification of bits, single or double words, floating point words, or an ASCII string).

The display format can be binary, decimal, hexadecimal, or alphanumeric.

• Static dynamic graphic objects

• Dynamic function keys objects allowing the user to display other pages directly, or command the process, or start a

Windows 95 application (TXBT).

• A page is identified by a number, and a name (optional).

• Pages may be accessed by pressing the keypad function keys or the control system.

• The arrow keys are used to navigate within a page.

Navigation consists of selecting various input fields.

• Access to pages may be password protected.

Creating pages

The various elements making up pages are defined using the

XBT-L1000 programming software, and then saved in the terminal.

• Application pages may be accessed by pressing a configured function key or using the control system variable to initiate a page change.

Page types

An application typically includes several types of pages.

• Template pages: The designer has page templates at his disposal. These are background pages containing text and static graphic objects that can be used as a starting point for application page development. Four types of page templates can be configured:

Application template page

Alarm template page

Help template page

Recipe template page

From the basic models, the application developer can create new models using the default basic models.

During editing of the application, alarm, or help pages, the objects of the template will appear to be greyed out and cannot be modified. General rules to follow when configuring an application:

One and only one template is associated with each page.

A dialog application may contain several templates.

Any given template can be associated with several different pages.

A template type (application/alarm/help template) is associated with a page type (application/alarm/help page).

For example, an application template is used to start an application page.

• Application pages: Used to monitor system status, control, command, and control system parameter modification

(see Section 1.3).

• Alarm pages: Used to display control system fault and the corrective actions indicating with display priority

(see Section 1.4).

• Help pages: Used to display information associated with an application or alarm page (see Section 1.5).

• Form pages: Used to print out printout forms (see section 6).

NOTE: Form pages cannot be displayed on the terminal. They are used for printing only.

• System pages: Used to to configure the terminal (language, date, printer link, etc.).

Graphic Magelis

Application pages

1.3 Application pages

The application pages represent the basic dialog architecture and are used to:

• Monitor the control system

• Perform operations on the control system

• Maintain the control system

Structuring the pages

It is advisable to organize the application pages so that they reflect the various stages of the control process. The XBT-L1000 software allows you to do this.

1.3.1 Composition of the application pages

An application page consists of 3 parts:

• Application region (Figure 1-10)

• Status line,

• Alarm strip

Figure 1-10: Application Page

Application region

Application pages

The application region may contain the following:

• Static alphanumeric texts

• Variable fields

• Static graphic objects

• Dynamic graphic objects

• Dynamic function keys

• Optional alarm bar showing the last activated alarm

Details concerning variable fields and dynamic graphic objects

When creating an application with XBT-L1000, PLC variables are associated with the variable fields and the dynamic graphic objects.

For XBT-F

Whatever the protocol, the accessible variables are single words, double words, floating words, and word bits.

For TXBT

In the case of XWAY protocols, the accessible variables are:

• Single words, double words, floating words, word bits

• Local and remote input/output bit

• System bit

• Step bit

• Step macro bit

• Step input step bit

• Step macro output step bit

In the case of a protocol other than XWAY, the accessible variables are single words, double words, floating words, and word bits.

1.3.2 Accessing the application pages

The application pages can be accessed by:

• Pressing a dynamic function key (when configured)

• Pressing a static function key (when configured)

• Selecting a page from the list of pages

• Selecting the page number

• A command from the PLC

Depending on the selected configuration, certain application pages may only be accessible in a protected mode. Protected mode management is controlled by page access passwords (Figure 1-13).

The help page on a touchscreen terminal can be accessed by pressing the help icon to call up the help page.

Help pages can be associated with application pages or alarm pages.

1.3.5 Recipe pages

A recipe page is created from a page model used for a specific application.

It is mainly used to:

• “record” a process status at a given moment,

• manually adjust the setup parameters,

• locally store these values on the terminal,

• re-use the statuses stored.

The main advantage of a recipe page is that it can store up to 5000 variable values in 1 to 125 recordings thus avoiding repetitive entries for the user.

1 - 20 Graphic Magelis

Alarm pages

1.4 Alarm pages

The purpose of the alarm pages is to display a control system's fault indications and a list of possible corrective actions. The advantage of an alarm page is to provide an event-related display. Each alarm page is associated with:

• a description of 32 characters maximum,

• one or several control system word bits. If one of the word bit is set to 1, the alarm is displayed. Control system bits can also be associated with the alarm page on a TXBT.

(example: A sensor fault occurs. The bit associated with the sensor fault changes to 1 in the control system).

WARNING

UNINTENTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION

The XBT does not support any type of processor nor machine control in association with alarms. It is the designer's responsibility to consider programming PLC logic to account for programmed alarms.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Composition of the alarm pages

An alarm pages consists of 3 parts:

• Application region

• An alarm strip

• Status line

Application region

The application region of an Alarm page can contain the same objects as an application page (i.e., static alphanumeric texts, variable fields, static graphic objects, dynamic graphic objects, dynamic function keys, and an optional alarm bar). (You cannot access the applications region of an alarm page using a function key).

It is identical to the one displayed on the application pages

(see Application pages).

Alarm indicating

• It is possible to force the operator to acknowledge the alarms so that they can be erased from the list of active alarms; this is useful for transient alarms.

• The terminals have a relay output whose contact is closed when an alarm appears. This function can be configured for each alarm page.

Advantages of alarm pages

• It is possible to assign a priority to an alarm page (1 to 16, with 1 as the highest priority).

• It is possible to record (log) alarm pages to help control system troubleshooting.

• The alarms are time-stamped.

Graphic Magelis 1 - 23

Alarm pages

• Alarms may be configured to require an operator to acknowledge an alarm before continuing process operation; this is useful for transient alarms and troubleshooting.

NOTE: This relay opens upon a power loss. The relay's contacts are normally open (N.0.).

• The terminals have a relay output whose contact closes when an alarm appears. This function can be configured for each alarm page.

Group of alarms

A group of alarms is a set of alarms identified by different color attributes. Each defined group may have its own unique colors that indicate the status of the alarm. The alarm active, alarm cleared, and alarm acknowledged colors make the alarm's status easily recognized by the operator. There are 16 groups of alarms. Each group is identified by an 8-character name enabling rapid identification by the operator.

Getting help

The availability of help is indicated by the " ?" key indicator light on the keyboard. Press this key to display the help page.

Press the ESC to exit the help page.

Printing

You can print the alarm page or the alarm log by means of:

• PRINT key,

• PLC command.

then

The print function from the alarm list page or alarm history page on the touchscreen terminal is accessed by pressing the status icon and then by pressing the print icon.

1.7 Form pages

The form pages are used for printing only.

They are used for creating measurement and production follow-up reports, labels, etc.

A form page can include:

• texts,

• alphanumeric variables,

• frames for designing tables,

• control codes specific to the printer used (bar codes printing, bold printing, etc.).

Managing the control system

The control system can be managed from the terminal using the static or dynamic function keys. There are two possible types of commands:

• Momentary contact command

• "Push-on/push-off" toggle command

Momentary contact command

A control system bit is activated by pressing a function key. The bit is set to a "1" while the function key is pressed and reset to "0" when the function key is released.

Example: Controlling a motor

Control bit set to "1"

0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

"1"

Managing the control system

"Push-on/push-off" toggle command

The control system is activated by pressing the function key. The control bit associated with the function key is set to a "1" on the first press. The next press of the function key resets the bit to "0".

Example: Conveyor belt advance command.

1 = Push

0 = Next Push

0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Function keys

1.8 Static and dynamic function keys

Static function keys

The static function keys are global and their configuration is defined for the entire application. They may be configured to perform the following functions:

• Access a page

• Momentary contact command

• " Push-on/push-off" toggle command

Dynamic function keys

The dynamic function keys are associated with a page. Their configuration and function can therefore change from one page to another (Figure 1-17). Dynamic function keys may be configured to perform the following functions:

• Access a page

• Momentary contact command

• "Push-on/push-off" toggle command

• Selecting an entry field

• Startup of a Windows 95 application (TXBT only)

The function key's configuration is defined by means of the

XBT-L1000 software, and may not be modified in run mode.

Figure 1-17: Configuration of Dynamic Key

XBT TXBT

1 - 28 Graphic Magelis

Function keys

The function keys for the touchscreen terminal application pages are replaced by touch icons. They are defined in the same manner as the dynamic function keys for the keypad terminals using the

XBT-L1000 software and perform the same function:

• access to a page,

• bit control,

• positioning on an entry field.

Example of graphics

1.9

An icon is associated with each page access or switch to entry type dynamic key.

Variable adjustment of the PLC register reference value

The TXBT can be used to adjust the register reference value of the connected PLC. Adjustment is available for the following communication protocols:

• UniTelway

• EthWay

• Modbus

• Fipway

• Fipio

• Modbus+

See Chapter 3 for additional information.

XBT

The adjustment page is used to display and modify the register reference values of the connected PLC. The page is directly created on the terminal by selecting the requested variables. Once created, the page is refreshed on a cyclic basis.

The page is locally stored on a PCMCIA card and can thus be reused even if the terminal has been switched off.

Adjustment of the register reference value is available for all communication protocols.

See section 3.14 for more details.

Graphic Magelis 1 - 29

PLC/terminal dialog

1.10 PLC/terminal communication dialog

The man/machine communication dialog between the terminal and the PLC consists of an exchange of data between the two devices.

Various types of data can be exchanged.

Data associated with fields

PLC

Command data from the

PLC to the terminal

Status data from the terminal to the PLC

GRAPHIC

TERMINAL

WARNING

UNINTENTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION

If communications between the XBT and PLC are lost, the operator's control over the machine may be lost partially or completely. It is the designer's responsibility to consider programming the PLC logic to account for this situation. One good technique is to monitor Wn+3 of the dialog table from the PLC table.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

1 - 30 Graphic Magelis

PLC/terminal dialog

Data associated with the fields

The exchange principle for the data associated with the fields depends on the protocol chosen as a function of the type of PLC.

The variables read or written are the single words, double words and word bits.

Master or client terminal

The terminal controls the following transfer exchange regardless of whether or not the terminal is defined as a master or slave:

• Updating of the fields (reading the values in the PLC)

• Entry and modification of fields (writing the values to the PLC)

No PLC communication program needs to be written.

Server or slave terminal

The PLC application is responsible for updating the displayed variables by constantly writing the values of the variables that have changed to the terminal.

Principle of terminal "command and status" exchanges

To simplify the communication dialog, the data is grouped together in a memory zone: the dialog table located in the PLC.

• Commands from the PLC to the terminal

• Status data from the terminal to the PLC

Consisting of "n" consecutive words (16-bit words), this table is divided into two parts.

Status table

Status data from the terminal to the PLC

Command table

Commands from the PLC to the terminal

Graphic Magelis 1 - 31

PLC/terminal dialog

The number of words in the table depends on the status data and the commands you choose to process during the dialog. The

XBT-L1000 software allows you to make this choice (Figure 1-18).

WARNING

UNINTENTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION

The PLC memory zone allocated for the XBT dialog table must

NOT be used for anything else. It is the designer's responsibility to properly program the PLC logic.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Requirements Specification

2.1 Application requirements specification

The requirement specification is the starting point for developing the man/machine dialog application.

It must include all the user's requirements. To achieve this, it is recommended that the requirements be broken down according to certain criteria:

• the criteria linked to the users

Production monitoring

Controlling the control system

Preventive maintenance

Corrective maintenance

...

• the criteria linked to the control system

Man/machine interface

Intervention level

...

• the criteria relative to developing the dialog application itself

Program structure

Data structure

Debugging

Updating

The specification requirements must indicate:

• Dialog architecture as seen by the end user

(navigation, etc.)

• Volume of data to be exchanged between the PLC and

the terminal

• Type of data

• Terminal/PLCs network architecture

Use the specification requirements to validate the development.

Graphic Magelis 2 - 5

Development method

2.2 Development method

Phase 0: Control system structure

From the control system structure, define:

• the communication protocol used by the terminal,

• the list of equipment items accessible to the terminal.

Phase 1: Commands from the terminal to the control system

For each command from the terminal to the control system, define the operator’s action mode:

• static function key,

• dynamic function key (define the associated application page).

Phase 2: Commands from the control system to the terminal

Define all the actions performed from the control system to the terminal:

• page call-up by the PLC,

• display of LEDs,

• key locking,

• triggering of curve plotting, etc.

Phase 3: Design of pages

Based on the requirements, design all the pages mentioning for each of them:

• the purpose,

• the type (application, recipe, alarm, help, printout forms),

• the data to be processed.

Phase 4: Dialog table

Phases 0 to 3 are used to determine all the words - exclusive of any other words - which are necessary for the dialog table.

2 - 6 Graphic Magelis

Development method

It is recommended to perform this operation before initiating the

PLC program as any addition or cancellation of a word in the dialog table modifies its structure.

Phase 5: Model pages

Identify the data which are identical on each type of pages: application, help, alarm.

This data can be:

• text, frames, logos, drawings, etc.,

• variables (alphanumeric and/or graphic),

• the status line and/or the alarm strip (displayed by default).

It is recommended to use the model pages for:

• simplifying and clarifying the development,

• providing an easy-to-use man/machine interface by the creation of similar “environments”,

• structuring the space available in the terminal memory.

Phase 6: Definition of application pages

Create the application pages and then define navigation. It can be performed via:

• dynamic function keys: for a navigation organized in menus,

• static function keys: for direct access to a page of the structure.

Provide the necessary controls for access to the pages and variables available for entry (see section 2.4 for all details). The zones protected by a password can be configured in specific menus.

Graphic Magelis 2 - 7

Development method

Phase 7: Definition of alarm pages

• Define the equipment items of the control system structure which can be at the origin of alarm triggering.

• Define the size of the alarm tables for all these equipment items. A table includes 1 16-bit word minimum, i.e. 16 alarms maximum per word. Define as many words as necessary.

• Divide the alarms pages into groups according to the control system structure, technologies involved, etc. See section 6.3

for all details.

• Classify the alarms and assign a priority to each of the

(1 to 16).

• For each alarm, define whether it must:

be printed (to keep a hard copy of the faults as soon as they are detected),

be recorded in the history (for sequential analysis of the faults: occurrence, cancellation, acknowledgement),

be displayed (some pages may not be displayed to the operator),

be necessarily acknowledged by the operator (ACK),

trigger energizing of a relay associated with a horn, a lighting column, etc.

Phase 8: Definition of help

• Define the help pages. If necessary, the same help page can be associated with several application or alarm pages.

• Define the help windows for variables requiring a comment, an advice, an explanation, etc.

Phase 9: Translations

State the application languages (3 maximum) and translate the text objects.

Dialog table

2.4 Configuring the communications dialog table

When you have defined the various pages, you willl have to define the content of the communications dialog table (Figure 2-4). Chapter

4 provides the information on the various bits and words in the dialog table.

Select the Configure/Dialog table menu.

Figure 2-4: The Dialog Table

2 - 12

Base address

Indicate the address of the beginning of the table (address of the first word in the dialog table).

Composition of table

Add or delete the various elements to/from the table as needed.

Use of the dialog table is optional in applications that do not use alarm pages. Alarm pages require the creation of an alarm table that is defined by the dialog table. For further information on the various dialog table components, consult the XBT-L1000 software on-line help or chapter 4 of this manual.

Cycle

The terminal's read/write period for the dialog table is used to optimize the terminal/PLC exchanges (see chapter 4, section 4.3).

Graphic Magelis

Dialog table

Dialog table security

A word is used in the table for security purposes: the "Authorization" word. Using this word ensures PLC/terminal dialog security.

When this word is not at the correct value, the terminal cannot write any words in the PLC and cannot execute any commands.

It is systematically present in the default dialog table proposed by

XBT-L1000 (see chapter 4, section 4.2). The authorization word may be removed from the dialog table if you choose.

Alarm table

A word bit is associated which each separate alarm. All these words make up the alarm table which is part of the dialog table.

• A terminal can process the alarms from several PLCs.

• The alarm table can be distributed between several of the automated process's PLCs.

• Each PLC in a networked application may have its own alarm table.

• The alarm table associated with a PLC allows the latter to transmit alarms to the terminal (see Chatper 3, Section 3.6)

The dialog table words (see chapter 4, section 4.2)

• "last alarm acknowledged" and

• "last group of alarms acknowledged" are present in each of the PLCs that contain an alarm table.

Objects

To configure an object onto a page, select the object on the Object

Selection Bar and drag the cursor to the desired application page location. Click on the mouse button, drag and highlight the desired object window size, and release the mouse button. To define an object's properties, double click the object.

Animating objects

Certain static objects (i.e., text, etc.) can be animated. Animation consists of making an object's color attributes change as a function of the value of an associated PLC variable. This variable must be declared when configuring the object (i.e., 40100). The basic principle consists of drawing up a list of possible values and, for each value, assigning a color to the animated object.

The next page presents the different objects:

• Static object: S

• Animated object: A

• Dynamic object: D (this object shows the change in a variable in alphanumeric form or a graph)

Main characteristics of curve objects

• A curve object can display up to 4 different curve plottings.

These plottings are called pens.

If the address of the object is %MWn (IEC syntax):

the address of the first pen is %MWn

the address of the second pen is %MWn+1

the address of the third pen is %MWn+2

the address of the fourth pen is %MWn+3

• A new curve point is displayed:

periodically every 5, 10 or 30 seconds or every 1.5 or 10 minutes,

when a bit is uploaded in the dialog table (see index on

“Triggering of curve plotting” and “Curve plotting OK").

• Curve write starts:

from the right: each new sampling moves the former values to the left, or,

from the left: each new sampling moves the former values to the right.

• Curve objects can be refreshed (Options tab):

on a cyclic basis: at the specified sampling period but only when the page including the curve is displayed (there is not any plotting on the curve when it is displayed),

on a permanent basis: at the sampling period, including when the object is not displayed.

This option generates permanent data interchange with the PLC and can entail an increase in the response times. Consult section 3.2 for more details.

Function key objects

Static function keys

Static function keys can be defined for the application to be used as:

Figure 2-7: Configuration of

Dynamic Key

• Access to a page

• Momentary contact command

• "Toggle" command

Dynamic function keys

Dynamic function keys are associated with the page displayed (Figure 2-7).

They can have the following functions:

• Access to a page

• Momentary contact command

• "Toggle" command

• Positioning on an entry field

• Running a Windows 95 executable program (TXBT only)

Touch zones

There are no static and dynamic function keys on touchscreen terminals.They are replaced by touch zones which have the same functions and properties as the dynamic function keys of the terminals with keyboard.

Carry out the following operations:

• click on the button,

• click and slide on the area to determine the location and the size of the touch zone. With the default grid you can create touch zones including the pitch suitable for the physical division of the touchscreen pad,

• double-click on this zone and enter the configuration parameters in the same way as for a dynamic function key of a terminal with keyboard.

Parameters to be defined

Defines the type of function key action

(for terminals with keyboard only).

Type of action:

• Page access: selects an application page

• Momentary contact or "toggle" command: assignment of a command bit in the dialog table (see chapter 3) or elsewhere in the PLC for the dynamic function keys

Graphic Magelis 2 - 19

Presentation main window

• Running a Windows 95 application on a TXBT terminal

(definition of executable program path)

Label for the dynamic function keys

This allows you to associate a label with the function key.

• Page access: 1 label (an image)

• Momentary contact or "toggle" command: a label for each status of the associated bit (values 0 and 1, associated with two images representing a released and pressed pushbutton)

By default the size of these images is adapted to the size of the keys (so they can be positioned opposite each other).

Recommendations concerning the use of function keys

• The dynamic function key word bits can be distributed between all the installation's pieces of equipment without any restrictions.

• The static function key word bits are grouped together and defined by the dialog table.

The communication dialog between the terminal and the equipment have better performances if static function key commands are used.

NOTE: It is recommended to use static function keys for control functions, and dynamic function keys for moving around the pages and for entering data.

Running a Windows 95 application on a

TXBT terminal

The TXBT terminal enables you to run Windows 95 applications installed on the terminal (such as the calculator). If the Magelis application is running, it will continue in the background, with pages refreshed and alarms monitored.

Executable program path

This is the path (disk, directory/sub-directory) on the TXBT terminal and not the path on the PC on which XBT-L1000 is installed. If the executable program's location on the TXBT is changed, startup will not work.

Example: D:\WINDOWS95\CALC.EXE

Creating pages

2.5.2 Model pages

The designer has page models at his disposal. These are background pages containing text and static / animated / dynamic graphic objects that can be used for several application, help or alarm pages.

Characteristics

• a dialog application can contain several models,

• one and only one model is associated with each page.

Select Page/New Model. Select the Application, Alarm or Help model type. Configure the model using the editor tools.

NOTE: The model pages can be locked using the “lock icon” icon.

This prevents unintentional modifications of pages.

Figure 2-8: New Model Dialog Box

It is possible to change a model from a page by double-clicking on the “Application page” tab (for instance) or by selecting the Page/

Properties menu.

An object or an object selection within a page can be moved:

to the model associated with the page (provided that it is not locked),

to a new model to be created.

Carry out the following operations:

select the object(s),

right click on the mouse or select the Edit/Move menu.

Creating pages

2.5.3 Application/Alarm/Help pages

Creating the page architecture

The designer has page models at his disposal. These are background pages containing text and static graphic objects that can be used as a starting point for multiple application, help, or alarm pages. The following are general rules:

• One and only one page model is associated with each page.

• An application can contain several page models.

• Any given model can be associated with several different pages.

• A model type (application/alarm/help) is associated with a page type (application/alarm/help). For example, each page type has its own model type.

2 - 22 Graphic Magelis

Creating pages

Select Page/New Page/Application

Indicates:

• the name and/or number of the new page,

• the page model,

• the protection level if necessary.

The application pages correspond to the “usual” man-machine dialog during normal operation of the terminal. A specific model of the application page can be used to create “recipe” pages. A recipe page represents a file including recordings of the control system setup parameters or variables used to perform a specific type of action.

For instance, an industrial bakery can produce:

• viennese bread and buns: chocolate-filled pastry, croissants, brioches,

• bread: farmhouse bread, whole-wheat bread, rye bread, sticks of French bread,

• cakes: strawberry tarts, lemon tarts.

To make bread corresponds to the selection of a recipe. To make rye bread corresponds to the selection of a recipe recording.

The following four dynamic function keys or touch zones are available by default on the recipe page model:

• a key for freezing/unfreezing the display on the terminal,

• a key for storing the recording displayed on screen in the

PCMCIA card,

• a key for restoring and displaying the recordings previously saved in the PCMCIA card,

• a key for transferring the recording displayed to the control system.

All the application page objects can be used for the recipe pages.

Graphic Magelis 2 - 23

Creating pages

Alarm page

The actual display of an alarm depends on the priority that has been assigned to it. Alarms occurring in the process are stored in the

"Alarm list".

When configuring an alarm page, you must indicate:

Figure 2-10: Alarm New Page

Dialog Box

• Name and/or number of the new page (the name of alarm page is the text displayed in the alarm bar)

• Alarm page model to be used (Figure 2-10)

2 - 24

Purpose of alarm pages

An alarm page is used to indicate:

• control system faults

• corrective actions

The advantage of the alarm page is the event-linked display. A control system word bit is associated with each alarm page. If the word bit is in state 1, the alarm is triggered.

Operation advantages

• When a fault appears, it is often the consequence of other faults. The terminal's priority system allows the most serious fault to be displayed first (for example, the fault which has been defined as the most hazardous for the control system).

• The occurence of each fault is time-stamped.

Maintenance advantages

• The terminal store the occurence of faults sequentially (log) thus making it possible to find the origin of the fault.

• Several alarms may therefore occur simultaneously in the process.

Graphic Magelis

Creating pages

The Add button allows you to assign a dialog table alarm bit to the alarm page being configured (Figure 2-11).

• On the XBTs, these alarm words are consecutive and make up the alarm table. In the event of an alarm, the rank of the word bit (in the dialog table) which triggered the alarm is displayed in the alarm strip (see chapter 3, section 3.6.2).

Figure 2-11: Add Alarm Bit

Dialog Box

• On the TXBTs, this same principle exists, but it is also possible to assign any bits (internal bit, word bit, etc.)

• If using any other bit as an alarm bit, the field assigned to the

"bit rank" in the alarm strip takes value 1.

• In the PLC\terminal exchanges, the bit is dealt with like a numerical field.

• The 2 types of operation can be used in the same application.

The Extensions button is used to enter the characteristics specific to an alarm page (Figure 2-12):

• Alarm page priority

• Assignment to a group of alarms

• Alarm relay action and operator ackowledgment

• Type of alarm page appearance

(See chapter 3, section 3.8).

2.5.4 Configuring a form page

Select Page/New Page/Form.

Indicate the name and/or the number of the new page.

The form pages can include the following elements:

• text objects,

• semi-graphic characters,

• printer control codes.

Text objects are static texts and alphanumeric variable fields.

These elements are intended for printing only.

Semi-graphic characters are used to create simple or double frames for highlighting printed data (table of values, etc.).

The printer control codes {a} (ex : {1}, {2}, etc.) are used to define printer control sequences (printing of bar codes, bold characters, change of colors, etc.).

Tree structure

2.5.5 Tree structure control

The software allows you to display the application's structure in a window (Figure 2-14). The pages are listed in increasing page number order. The Application and System pages have a tree structure. The alarm pages have a "flat" structure.

Figure 2-14: Page Tree Window

6. Answer the questions the software asks. The application is transferred.

2.10.2 TXBT-F terminals

1. Install the terminal as recommended in the TXBT manual.

2. Connection for transfer on a TXBT terminal; two types of transfers are possible:

• Local transfer: The Magelis graphic application is loaded into the TXBT via a direct link to a PC equipped with XBT-

L1000 <-> TXBT; the port used is COM1 (XBT-Z915 V2.2

cable and XBT-Z962 adapter).

• Remote transfer: If the terminal and the PC containing XBT-

L1000 are connected on the PLC network, and if this network is of the Unitelway or Fipway type, then transfer can take place via this network.

The Setup R1 function on the home screen gives access to the parameter settings screen (see chapter 3.3 of the TXBT manuals for selection of the transfer type).

2 - 36 Graphic Magelis

Transferring the application

TXBT network address

The TXBT network address is entered locally on the TXBT using the network configuration utilities supplied (Magelis

Tools Unitelway, Fipway, Isaway). The Start/Program/

Magelis Tools menu gives access to the Magelis Tools

Group, which contains these various utilities. See section 4.3

of the TXBT manual for addressing.

Declaration of remote transfer address with XBT-L1000

When the address is configured in the TXBT, the remote transfer address must be declared in XBT-L1000.

3. Switch on the terminal.

When switched on, the terminal will look for the graphic Magelis application on the PCMCIA card and then on the hard disk in the

C:\TXBT\APPLI directory. If the terminal detects an application, it will be automatically started. If the terminal fails to detect an application, the home screen appears, and the terminal waits for a transfer (see TXBT manual, section 4.1).

• Loading extension tasks when transferring the application

On a TXBT terminal, it is possible to add functions on top of the basic functions of an XBT-F. These extra functions are called Extension tasks (see TXBT manual, section 4.5).

• Loading the PL7 symbols file

During the transfer, it is possible to load the PLC application variable symbols file and subsequently use the symbols associated with the variables to modify them when using the extended settings function (see TXBT manual, section 4.7).

• Loading extra files when transferring the application

During the PC -> TXBT transfer, it is possible to load extra files into the TXBT (see TXBT manual, section 4.4).

4. Select the Transfer/Export menu.

Graphic Magelis 2 - 37

Transferring the application

2.10.3 Import/export file

If a PCMCIA card unit is available on a PC that has been loaded with the XBT-L1000 software, the application can be directly written on the card provided for the terminal. The Transfer/Import-export file menu is used to select the name of the PCMCIA unit.

XBT-L1000 -> PCMCIA card export

To export the application, select the Transfers/Export/ to import/

export folder menu. Insert PCMCIA card at the location provided on the terminal.

PCMCIA -> XBT-L1000 card import

To import the application, insert the PCMCIA card into the PC and then the Transfers/Import/from import/export folder menu.

Use the Export/to import/export folder function to import the application.

Updating the application

2.11 Updating the application

When an application that has been saved under an earlier version of the XBT-L1000 software is opened using a later version, the user will be prompted to have the software update the application to the later version.

This operation is used to update new system page formats and enables the designer to incorporate the enhanced functions of the new version into the existing application. Therefore, It is strongly recommended that the user perform the update.

NOTE: The model pages for application, alarm and help pages are not updated automatically. Thus, the alarm strip and the status line may have been re-located, deleted or modified by the designer.

Updating the model pages:

1. Perform the updating proposed by XBT-L1000.

2. Create a new model for each type of page (application, alarm, help).

3. Delete the required elements (alarm strip, status line) from the existing models.

4. Cut/paste the elements required from the new models to the existing ones.

Wiring: Refer to the terminal instructions for the XBT in chapter 2 of the TXBT Magelis Product Line Reference Manual.

Remote transfer for the TXBT

On a TXBT terminal, 2 types of transfers are possible:

• Local transfer: The Magelis graphic application is loaded into the TXBT via a direct PC link equipped with XBT-L1000 <->

TXBT; the port used is COM1.

Graphic Magelis

Operating principle

• Remote transfer: If the terminal and the PC containing

XBT-L1000 are connected on the PLC network, and if this network is a Unitelway, Fipway or Isaway, transfer is possible via this network.

The Setup R1 function on the home screen is used to configure the transfer (see chapter 3.3 of the TXBT Magelis Product Line

Reference Manual for the choice of transfer type.)

Configuration of the TXBT address

The TXBT address on the network is entered locally on the TXBT using the network configuration utilities provided (Magelis tools:

Unitelway, Fipway, Isaway, ModBus+).

The Program menu gives access to the Magelis Tools Group, which contains these various utilities. The XWin32 utility can be used to test the XWAY network.

Remarks:

• If a configuration has already been set up with XBT-L1000, it will be ignored.

• The FPP20 thumbwheel settings are ignored.

• Any coding in a Unitelway is ignored (SCA62).

Refer to Chapter 4.3 of the TXBT Magelis Product Line Reference

Manual for addressing.

Entering a remote address in XBT-L1000

This address can be used to export an application to a TXBT via the

XWAY network already in place, instead of the XBTZ915 +

XBTZ962 transfer cable.

When the address is configured in the TXBT, the remote transfer address must be declared in XBT-L1000. To do this:

1. Select the Transfers/Remote Address menu.

2. Define the remote address with:

the address configured locally on the TXBT,

the socket (channel) number chosen or dynamically allocated at transfer SETUP.

Refer to chapter 4.4 of the TXBT Magelis Product Line Reference

Manual for more information.

Operating principle

Other possible loading operations for the TXBT:

See section 14 and 15 in this chapter.

3.2.3 Operating mode

Operating mode is used for on-line control of the control system:

• Page display

• Entry/Modification of the process's parameter values

• Process control (discrete)

• Print

• Printing of form pages,

• Consulting and acknowledging alarms

• Consulting the alarm log

• Accessing the terminal configuration (printer link, time-stamp link, link with the control system, languages)

• Accessing the terminal's self-diagnostic functions (keypad, display unit, etc.) (TXBT only).

CAUTION

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Pressing the MENU key allows the inexperienced and untrained operator to accidentally display the wrong page, modify the terminal configuration, or lose the messages and alarms on the screen. This can lead to confusion, panicking, and, as a consequence, loss of control over the machine. It is strongly recommended that the PLC be programmed to lock the MENU key as well as the other currently unused keys in order to prevent this from happening.

Operating principle

3.2.4 Confidential mode, password management

To restrict reading and writing of certain data to only those authorized, you can protect access to pages or fields by means of passwords.

CAUTION

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

The XBT should only be installed and used by the authorized personnel that have been assigned the appropriate confidential mode PASSWORDS by the project manager.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in injury or equipment damage.

If the right passwords are not entered, this protection system will then:

• Prevent access to application or system pages. The protected pages are no longer accessible from a static or dynamic function key (the associated labels no longer appear on the terminal screen) and they do not appear in the list of pages.

• Inhibit writing in dynamic variable fields: alphanumeric variable field, linear/rotary potentiometer, linear/rotary switch, image box. The protected fields are displayed as if they were configured in read only mode. The labels associated with the dynamic function keys and enabling access to these fields are no longer displayed on the terminal screen.

NOTE: When a page is protected, access to all the fields of this page is non-protected. The protections that could have been defined with XBT-L1000 are ignored.

Graphic Magelis 3 - 19

Operating principle

There are three different passwords: A, B and C.

The value of these passwords is defined in XBT-L1000,

Configuration/Terminal parameters. When the Configure

Terminal parameters window appears, select the Password button to show the Passwords dialog box (Figure 3-10).

Each password is a string of 4 alphanumeric characters

(default value 1111).

Figure 3-10: Passwords Dialog Box

3 - 20

Exit from the confidential mode can be either manual or automatic:

• manual: the operator explicitly requests an exit from the confidential mode,

• automatic: a timer which can be programmed to a value between 1 and 60 minutes is used by the terminal to automatically exit the confidential mode.

Configuration of the parameters for automatic exit of the confidential mode can be performed via the terminal system page “Passwords/ advanced properties”.

When exporting an application to a terminal, the properties are set to the following values: automatic exit from confidential mode: NO.

NOTE: To ensure that your passwords remain confidential, there is

no way of consulting the value from the Magelis terminal.

The only way of finding out the value of a lost or forgotten password is to consult the application using XBT-L1000.

Operating principle

A page or field can be protected by password A and/or B and/or C.

Depending on whether the user has filled out passwords A, B or C on the terminal, he will be able to access the corresponding pages and fields.

3.3.6 Displaying a page using a word from the PLC

It is possible to display a page using a word in the PLC. A PLC word must be allocated in the dialog table. In this table, a word is reserved in which the program writes the number of the page to be displayed. Refer to Chapter 2, Section 2.2 for the word coding procedure.

Example:

Display of the Maintenance page (application page No. 25) by the PLC

The terminal periodically reads the dialog table in the PLC and displays the desired page; no program has to be written in the PLC to manage communications (Figure 3-17).

3.4 Variable fields

See also: Variable adjustment on TXBT, Section 3.12.

Variable fields are zones enabling:

• the display of values reflecting the control system status: status of a word bit, single or double word, floating word, character string, or,

• the entry of parameters allowing the control system to be controlled: modification of word bits, single, double or floating words, character string.

The display format may be binary, decimal, hexadecimal, numbered list, or an ASCII character string.

Temperature =

Field

When creating the application with XBT-L1000, controller variables are associated with the variable fields and the dynamic graphic objects.

For the XBT-Fs

Whatever the protocol, the accessible variables are single words, double words, floating words, and word bits.

For the TXBTs

In the case of XWAY protocols, the accessible variables are:

• single words, double words, floating words, word bits

• local and remote input/output bit

• system bit

• step bit

• step macro bit

• step macro input step bit

• step macro output step bit

In the case of a protocol other than XWAY, the accessible variables are singlel words, double words, floating words, and word bits.

Graphic Magelis 3 - 31

Entry/modification

The XBT-L1000 software makes it possible to define different field properties (Figure 3-18).

Figure 3-18: Properties of Alphanumeric Field Dialog Box

3.4.1 Accessing a field

Accessing the various fields in a page

The MOD key allows you to select:

• The first field on the page or

• The last field entered (the last field whose entry was confirmed by ENTER).

The selected field is framed with a dotted box and the cursor is displayed in the variable field.

The arrow keys allow you to move from field to field.

When you are positioned in the desired field, press the MOD key to enable the input mode.

On touchscreen terminals, press the touch icon of the selected field for accessing the fields directly.

3 - 32 Graphic Magelis

Entry/modification

NOTE: When configuring touch zones with XBT-L1000, the objects must be aligned on the XBT-L1000 default grid, otherwise the operator may be unable to select certain objects. If nothing has been entered after one (1) minute, the input mode is cancelled.

NOTE: The order in which the page fields go to entry mode depends on the object alignment under XBT-L1000.

Accessing a field by means of dynamic function keys

It is possible to select a field on a page by configuring a dynamic function key (Rx) associated with the page to select the field.

The same application procedures has access to an application page using the Rx key.

Access to a field using the TXBT mouse

A field can be selected using the TXBT mouse by positioning the pointer on the field and clicking.

Request for entry on the initiative of the PLC

The PLC can request an entry in a page variable field (example: request for a set point).

The word “Field number to be entered” is reserved in the dialog table. The program writes the number of the field to be entered in this word. This number is provided by XBT-L1000, Display/Field number menu.

Refer to section ??, for coding of this word.

NOTE: Each field is automatically numbered by XBT-L1000. Numbering starts by number 1 for each page. The PLC program must thus check that the number of the page displayed is correct before requesting a field entry.

3.4.3 Field Characteristics

Protecting fields

Depending on the selected configuration, certain fields of the application page may not be write-accessed in confidential mode.

Access management for entry to a variable field is ensured by a system with several levels of protection. The XBT-L1000 software can be used to define the various properties of the field

(Figure 3-19).

Figure 3-19: Alphanumeric Properties Dialog Box

Variable display rules

• A value that cannot be displayed is represented by # characters (overflow value).

• A value not filled out by the PLC is represented by ? characters.

• A write-only variable is represented by * characters.

Graphic Magelis 3 - 35

Entry/modification

Numbered list

The XBT-L1000 software allows a string of text to be assigned to each value of the variable associated with the field

(Figure 3-20).

Figure 3-20: Numbered List Dialog Box

Example: A field (%MW10) that accepts two values with two associated strings of text (0: CLOSE 1: OPEN).

If you select OPEN using the arrow keys, and confirm by pressing

ENTER, the %MW10 word will take the value 1 in the PLC.

Inversely, if the PLC writes the value 1 on %MW10 the OPEN text will be displayed.

Data types

Word bits, single words, double words, floating point words, character strings.

Alphanumeric display format

Binary, integer, decimal (five digits maximum after the decimal point), hexadecimal, ASCII, text numbered list.

Thresholds

Four thresholds can be set for a variable field: Min (minimum), L

(low), H (high), and Max (maximum).

The value of these thresholds can be:

• constant,

• variable: the value is read when the page is displayed

(read-only).

Min and Max are the absolute display limits for the variable, L and H are its intermediate thresholds (pre-alarm, etc.).

3 - 36 Graphic Magelis

Entry/modification

The value of a variable can be in one of five posssible value zones:

• Value > Max

• H < Value < Max

• L < Value < H

• Min < Value < L

• Value < Min

For each of these zones, the object is given a particular color according to what was defined in XBT-L1000: variable color for alphanumeric objects, dial color for vu-meters, etc. (Figure 3-21).

Figure 3-21: Alphanumeric Properties Dialog Box 3

Color red: max. limit

Color blue: correct value

Color red: min. limit

If the operator enters a value which is > Max or < Min, it is not sent to the controller and a warning message appears.

Graphic Magelis 3 - 37

Entry/modification

Immediate write

Immediate write in a field consists in incrementing or decrementing the field value. It is performed by pressing the shift + “up arrow” key or shift + “down arrow” key on terminals with keyboard or by pressing the touch zones +1 and -1 on touchscreen terminals. The value is transmitted to the PLC each time the key is pressed.

To configure the variables with XBT-L1000, select the Option/

Access tab.

3 - 38

This entry mode is used by the operator to modify a field value in a continuous manner in order to:

• prevent sudden skipping from one value to another,

• view the result of an action "in real time" (adjustment, positioning, etc.).

Alarms

3.5 Alarms

3.5.1 Principle

Alarms are triggered and then displayed when a word bit in the

PLC(s) is ON.

Several alarms may be active simultaneously, and are stored by the terminal in the alarm list.

WARNING

UNINTENTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION

The XBT does not support any type of processor nor machine control in association with alarms. It is the designer's responsibility to consider programming PLC logic to account for programmed alarms.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Example: display on an XBT-F terminal:

•

ALARM on touchscreen terminals

Refer to section 3.7 for the detailed description of the alarm list.

Alarm indicating

• "Alarm" indicator light. The "Alarm" indicator light keeps the operator constantly informed of the alarm list status:

• Off: the current list of alarms is empty.

• On: the list contains alarms that have already been displayed.

• Flashing: the list of alarms contains new alarms.

• On the application pages

The designer can place an alarm bar, corresponding to the last alarm that has occurred, in the alarm pages. This bar is updated whenever a new alarm occurs, whatever its type

(with or without a required acknowledgement) and priority. If several alarms occur simultaneously, the highest priority alarm is displayed; if there are no alarms, the bar remains displayed but is empty.

Alarm table

• A word bit is associated which each separate alarm. All these words make up the alarm table which is part of the dialog table.

• A terminal can process the alarms from several PLCs.

• The alarm table can be distributed between several of the automated process's PLCs.

For each PLC, the alarm bits are distributed in packets of 16 alarms, i.e., "n" words of 16 bits per PLC.

The terminal can accept up to 32 words depending on the type of terminal.

Any given alarm may be triggered by several different bits that may belong to different PLCs.

Graphic Magelis 3 - 41

Alarm group

3.5.3 Alarm group

Alarm groups can be configured in order to group together alarm pages in modules.

An alarm group is a set of alarms identified by different color

attributes per group for the appearance, disappearance and acknowledgment statuses. There are 16 groups numbered 1 to 16.

Each group is identified by an 8-character name allowing quick identification by the operator of a part of the machine or of the installation.

Example:

Group1: cracker1 colors defined:

• appearance: flashing red

• disappearance: steady green

• acknowedgment: flashing cyan

Group2: c onvoy.4

colors defined:

• appearance: steady yellow

• disappearance: flashing magenta

• acknowledgment: flashing blue

According to the colors, the user can quickly identify the control system unit in which the fault has occurred (example: cracker1).

In the list of alarms, it is possible to select:

• display of the alarms from a single group out of the 16.

• display of the alarms from the 16 groups.

The dynamic key or the touch zone associated with the ACK ALL icon is used to acknowledge the alarms of the group(s) present on the screen (see section 3.5.7).

3 - 42

Graphic Magelis

Alarm priority

3.5.4 Display priority in the alarm list

A priority can be allocated to each alarm page using the XBT-L1000 software.

The alarm pages can take different priorities. 16 levels are possible from 1 to 16, with the lowest display priority being priority No. 16.

Alarm list storage principle:

1. Alarms not acknowledged and then alarms already acknowledged, i.e. alarms which were already present the last time the list of alarms was displayed.

2. Alarm priority (1 at the top, 16 at the bottom).

3. When the alarm priority is the same, they are stored in such a way that the oldest one is displayed first. The possible cause of a series of faults can thus be identified rapidly.

The list of alarms is displayed after pressing the SHIFT + ENTER keys or the status touch zone and then ALARM for touchscreen

terminals.

The latest alarm displayed appears in the “latest alarm” strip.

Alarm display principle

When an alarm appears:

• The ALARM indicator light flashes. The alarm is stored in the alarm list. The alarm can be acknowledged by the operator directly on the application page by pressing the ENTER key or for touchscreen terminals.

• The alarm relay is closed (if this function is selected).

• The alarm strip is updated.

The alarm can be consulted in the alarm list (see Section 3.5.7).

Graphic Magelis 3 - 43

Alarm acknowledgment

3.5.5 Acknowledging alarms

When designing pages, it is possible to define whether the alarm page should be systematically acknowledged or not. These 2 types of alarms are managed in the following way:

1 - Alarms which must be acknowledged

An alarm which must be acknowledged remains in the list of alarms until it is acknowledged by the operator, even if the cause of the fault is no longer present (the alarm bit is back to 0). Its status is then OFF.

Advantage: transient faults are isolated (instability of a discrete sensor for example).

2 - Alarms with optional acknowledgment

An optional acknowledgment alarm disappears from the list as soon as the cause of the fault is no longer present (the alarm bit is back to 0), whether the alarm has been acknowledged or not.

Advantage: the display is not exclusively dedicated to faults that are considered minor for the application.

Alarm acknowledgement from the alarm strip

Press the ENTER key on the terminal or the touch zone on

touchscreen terminals to acknowledge the alarm displayed in the alarm strip.

The alarm message switches to ACK status.

NOTE: The alarm strip can be displayed on alarm pages.

Acknowledgement will thus be effective on the strip alarm and not on the alarm displayed.

Alarm acknowledgement from the list of alarms

Press the ENTER key on the terminal to acknowledge the alarm selected in the list. The alarm message switches to ACK status. The dynamic key or the touch zone associated with the ACK ALL icon is used to acknowledge the alarms from the group(s) displayed.

3 - 44

Graphic Magelis

Alarm relay

3.5.6 Alarm relay command

The alarm relay option is available for each alarm.

The alarm relay energizes as soon as an alarm defined with the

"alarm relay" option is triggered.

The relay deenergizes as soon as all the active alarms defined with the "alarm relay" option have been acknowledged by the operator(ACK), or have disappeared.

NOTE: In the event of a power loss to the termial, the alarm relay deenergizes.

3.5.7 Description of the alarm list

The alarm list includes:

• the active alarms which are present but not acknowledged by the operator (ON),

• the active alarms acknowledged by the operator (ACK),

• alarms with mandatory acknowledgement and which have not been acknowledged but for which the triggering cause is no longer present (OFF).

The alarm list is refreshed whenever an alarm appears or disappears. The alarm list remains displayed awaiting a user action.

Alarm history log

3.6 Alarm history log

3.6.1 Principle

The terminals can manage an alarm page log. The alarm descriptions and state, the equipment data, the date and time status are stored in this log. The alarms are stored one after the other, and when the log is full, the oldest alarms are overwritten by the most recent ones.The log recording capacity is 500 events.

Each alarm event:

• Appearance

• Acknowledgment

• Disappearance is recorded and time-stamped.

The following functions can be performed:

• On the PLC's initiative:

Printing the alarm log

Clearing the alarm log

• On the operator's initiative:

Displaying the alarm log

Printing the alarm log

Clearing the alarm log (in confidential mode)

The log is useful for analysing the sequence of events which has led to a given machine state.

Graphic Magelis 3 - 47

3.6.2 Displaying the alarm history log

The alarms are shown with the most recent alarm displayed first.

The events relative to each alarm are: appearance, acknowledgment, clearing.

MENU: To access the alarm log.

Up and down arrows: To scroll through the alarm log.

SHIFT + up and down arrow or double up/down arrows on

touchscreen terminals: previous page/next page.

ESC: To return to the previous page.

3.6.3 Clearing the alarm history log

• At the operator’s initiative

1. Prior display of the history.

2. Press the key or the touch zone Delete history.

3. Validate history clearing: the complete history is cleared.

NOTE: History clearing can be restricted to confidential mode. For this, protect the system page “Delete history” by a password.

• On the PLC initiative

The alarm history is cleared by means of the history reset command word in the dialog table (see chapter 4, section 4. 2).

3.6.4 Printing the alarm history log

• On the operator's initiative

Press the PRINT key and select "Log".

The alarm log is printed sequentially, with the most recent alarm printed first.

• On the PLC's initiative

The alarm log is printed by means of the print command word in the dialog table (see chapter 4, section 4.2).

The alarm log is printed sequentially, with the most recent alarm printed first (Figure 3-25).

Control using static function keys

When creating the application, a word bit, defined automatically by the dialog table, is associated with each momentary contact and

"push on/push off" toggle static function key. This word bit will be in the Master PLC.

Control using dynamic function keys

When creating the application, the following are associated with each momentary contact and push on/push off dynamic function key:

• One label comprised of 1 or 2 graphics,

• A word bit whose PLC address must be declared when configuring with XBT-L1000.

Dynamic function keys may be configured to communicate with any

PLC attached to the terminal.

Command using the TXBT mouse

The dynamic function keys can be controlled by positioning the pointer on the corresponding key label and clicking.

Assigning static function keys in the dialog table

The dialog table enables the communication between the PLC and the terminal. In this table, one word is reserved for providing the status of the function keys in the form of a word bit (bit at 1 = key pressed), refer to chapter 4, section 4.2 for the word coding procedure.

Terminal configuration

3.11 Terminal configuration

The terminal configuration parameters can be modified on the terminal directly. They are then saved in the PCMCIA card without using XBT-L1000. However, any modification performed in the terminal cannot be retrieved by XBT-L1000 when importing an application.

The terminal configuration function is accessible from the system menu and is used for consulting or modifying the following parameters:

• terminal data and time and format,

• language,

• screen parameters,

• printer parameters,

• Printer <-> Terminal line parameters.

Press the SYST key or the status touch zone then SYST on touchsreen terminals to display the system menu. If access is protected by a password, enter it (see section 3.2.4).

• Numeric keys

• Arrow keys (for parameter lists)

• Context keyboards displayed on touchscreen terminals.

3. Press ENTER to confirm the modification.

CAUTION

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Since all alarms are always time/date stamped and the control program may rely on the XBT's real time clock, it is important to set or verify the XBT's date and time after every installation, repair, disassembly, shipment, or battery change.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in injury or equipment damage.

Terminal parameters

Dialog principle

4.1 PLC/terminal communications dialog principle

The communications dialog between the terminal and the PLC consists of an exchange of data between one or several devices.

In all communication situations, the following should be defined:

• Data to be exchanged

• Communication protocol

4.1.1 Data exchanged

Various types of data can be exchanged.

PLC

Data associated with fields

Command data sent from the

PLC to the terminal

Status data sent fron the terminal to the PLC

TERMINAL

Graphic Magelis 4 - 5

Data exchanged

4 - 6

Data associated with fields

These are variables which may be:

• displayed on the terminal,

• entered or modified on the terminal.

Command data sent by the PLC to the terminal

This concerns the following commands:

• Display an application or system page,

• Display an alarm page,

• Lock keys,

• Request to enter a variable field,

• Print command,

• Command of indicator lights associated with function keys,

• Clear log command,

• Set time-stamp command,

• Triggers graph plotting.

• etc.

Status data sent by the terminal to the PLC

This concerns the following status:

• Terminal status

confidential mode,

terminal configuration mode,

confirmation of entries by pressing the ENTER key,

cancelled entry by pressing the ESC key,

cancelled entry after a time-out,

print fault.

• Number of the displayed page,

• Number of the last field entered,

• Image of the keypad keys,

• Time-stamp status (date and time),

• Log occupancy rate as a percentage,

• Communication monitoring,

• Number of the last alarm acknowledged,

• Application signature,

• etc.

Graphic Magelis

Data exchanged

4.1.2 Exchange principle for data associated with fields

The exchange principle for the data associated with the fields depends on the protocol chosen according to the type of PLC.

The variables read or written are single words, double words and word bits.

The terminal can be master or slave on the bus but it is always considered as the client and the PLC(s) as the server(s).

This means that the terminal always initiate data interchange to:

• refresh the fields (reading of values in the PLC),

• enter and edit fields (writing of values in the PLC).

NOTE: No PLC communication program needs to be written.

WARNING

UNINTENTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION

PLC memory zone allocated for the XBT dialog table must NOT be used for anything else. It is the designer's responsibility to program the PLC logic properly.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Graphic Magelis 4 - 7

Commands and states

4.1.3 Principle of the communications dialog table

To simplify the communications dialog, all of the following are grouped together in a dialog table:

This table is located in one of the architecture PLCs and composed of n consecutive words (16-bit words).

It includes two parts:

Status table

Status data sent by the terminal to the PLC.

Command table

Commands sent by

the PLC to the terminal

The number of words in the table depends on the choice of status data and commands that are to be processed during the dialog.

The XBT-L1000 software allows you to configure the dialog table

(Figure 4-1).

Figure 4-1: Dialog Table Configuration

4 - 8

NOTE: The words of the dialog table must only be read by the PLC.

It is recommended not to write in this zone.

Graphic Magelis

Commands and states

When configuring the dialog table, you must define the dialog table's start address (basic address). The dialog table is in the PLC. The terminal periodically reads and writes to the table in the PLC.

PLC

TERMINAL

Reading command data

Writing status data

Secure use of the dialog table

A word is used in the table for security purposes: the "dialog table authorization" word.

The use of this word is a security for the PLC/terminal dialog.

When this word is not set to the correct value in the PLC, the terminal does not write any word in the dialog table and does not execute any command.

This value is indicated by XBT-L1000. The PLC program must assign this value to the word “Dialog table authorization” so that the dialog table be processed by the terminal.

Graphic Magelis 4 - 9

Dialog table

4.2 Dialog table content

The number of words in the table depends on the choice of states and commands that are to be processed during the dialog. You may add or delete items as you choose.

Notation convention for describing the table

%MWn word of 16 bits with address n.

%MWn, i : bit i of word n.

The address n is taken as the table's start address.

The table comprises a maximum of 135 words.

The description below gives the content of the various dialog table words; refer to the XBT-L1000 software's on-line help for further information on the various words.

PLC <-- XBT: Terminal writes the corresponding word(s) in the PLC.

PLC --> XBT: Terminal reads the corresponding word(s) in the PLC.

PLC <--> XBT: Terminal and the PLC can modify the corrresponding word(s) in the PLC.

.%MWn+11: Last group of alarms acknowledged with 1 bit per group of alarms (bit 0 = group 1 ...).

The same alarm can be triggered by several bits which may belong to different PLCs (equipment).

The terminal stores the origin of the alarm so that the data related to alarm acknowledgement by the operator can be sent to the proper

PLCs.

Depending on the type of acknowledgement, the terminal writes the following values at next cycle:

Acknowledgement of a single alarm: ENTER or icon ACK for

touchscreen terminals.

%MWn+10: Number of the last alarm acknowledged = No. from

1 to 1024.

%MWn+11: Last group of alarms acknowledged with 1 bit per group of alarms = H’FFFF’.

• %MWn+9 : Number of the last field entered

• %MWn +12 : Report

• %MWn +17 : Number of the field to be entered

MSB number of field in model page

XBT-L1000 gives the number of field.

CAUTION

UNINTENTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION

The PLC program must check that the page displayed is correct before requesting an entry.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in injury or equipment damage.

PLC request for entry

When the PLC requests an entry in a field, it indicates the number of the field in word %MWn+17: Number of the field to be entered.

The terminal indicates reception of the entry request by resetting the report bits 2, 3, 4 (%MWn+12).

If the entry field exists, the end of entry is indicated by %MWn+17 =

Number of the field to be entered H'FFFF'.

• When the entry is confirmed by ENTER, %MWn+9 “Number of the last field entered contains the number of the field entered.

• When the entry is cancelled by pressing ESC or due to a

Time-Out , no modifications will be made.

The terminal sets one of the 3 status bits according to how the entry was ended (Time-Out, ESC, ENTER).

If the requested field cannot be entered: (unknown field, etc.), the end of the entry is given by 3 informations:

Length of the print table

The "print command" word is written by the PLC.

A code is associated with each type of possible printing (MSB).

• Free format printout: H'01xx' (xx = table length in hexadecimal)

• History printout: H'02xx'

• Form printout: H'04xx'.

For form printout, xx represents the number of the form to be printed.

Free format printing consists of sending on the initiative of the PLC, the data contained in the free format printing table, located at the end of the dialog table (%MWn+95 and following), in the least significant byte, the length in bytes of information to be printed (80 bytes maximum).

The word %MWn+18 "Print command" is written to H'FFFF' by the terminal to indicate the end of the print command (see bits 5, 6, 7, of

%MWn+12 "Report").

%MWn+19 : Activating graphs plotting

See also %MWn+14: Graph plotting performed

The terminals can monitor the change of a control system data in real time (example: monitoring of an analog value). A curve has 1 to

4 pens with different colors.

The PLC can activate the recording of values and the 4 plottings of a graph simultaneously on a bit rising edge of word %MWn+19. The user can assign one of 16 bits of word %MWn+19 to a curve. He can thus activate 16 graphs (1 word = 16 bits). The bit of word

%MWn+14 with the same order (graph plotting performed) is set to

1 when the graph is plotted (1 to 4 pens).

Word %MWn+14 (graph plotting performed) is used to inform the

PLC of the result of the command (one graph = 1 word bit).

%MWn+20 : Table write authorization

This word serves as a security for the PLC/terminal dialog. When this word is not at the correct value, the terminal cannot write any words in the PLC and cannot execute any commands.

%MWn+21: Recipe transfer not allowed

See also %MWn+8: Number of the displayed page and

%MWn+12: Report.

The transfer of configuration parameters from the terminal to the process is a critical operation which must only be performed when the PLC is ready to receive these parameters.

When word %MWn+21 “Recipe transfer not allowed” is set to 0 in the dialog table, the recipe transfer is enabled.

If it is set to 1, transfer is inhibited.

CAUTION

UNINTENTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION

A transfer in progress cannot be interrupted by a change in the status of word %MWn+21 "Recipe transfer not allowed".

Failure to follow this instruction can result in injury or equipment damage.

During a transfer, the recipe page is displayed on the terminal screen. The PLC can thus identify the recipe being transferred using word %MWn+8.

Bits 8 “Recipe transfer in progress” and 9 “Recipe transfer error” of word %MWn+12 “Report” indicate to the PLC that the transfer is in progress. The PLC can then be synchronised on the end of transfer

(bit 8 “Recipe transfer in progress” is set to 0) to restart the process with the new parameters.

Bit 9 “Recipe transfer error’’ of word %MWn+12 “Report” indicates an error during transfer.

4.3 PLC/terminal communication dialog cycle

4.3.1 Processing by the terminal

Five types of transactions are carried out by the terminal, either intermittently or in a processing cycle:

Dialog table cycle

This comprises reading and writing by the terminal of the parameters selected from the dialog table, including the alarms table, at intervals specified in XBT-L1000.

Permanent variables refresh cycle, at intervals specified in XBT-

L1000.

Displayed page variables refresh cycle

Single reading of variables when calling up a new page

Immediate writing of variable when the function key is pressed or a value entered.

Graphic Magelis 4 - 29

Dialog cycle

4.3.2 Optimization for communication

The following recommendations enable terminal/PLC communications to be optimized, thus improving operator dialog response times. They apply, regardless of the communication protocol used.

• make a careful allocation of the variables to single, cyclic or permanent reading, according to how they are used by the terminal,

• use contiguous addresses for the cyclic reading of variables on a page,

• use contiguous addresses for the single reading of variables on a page,

• do not overload the dialog table with words not needed by the application,

• adjust the dialog table period according to the traffic generated by the dialog application on the one hand and the other equipment items of the control system structure on the other hand.

NOTE: The operator actions are processed immediately, independent of the value of the dialog table period.

As a rule, only the words which are useful for the application should be selected to optimize communication.

Bits associated with the dialog static function keys that can be used in the PLC application

A reserved word in the dialog table indicates the status of the function keys in the form of a word bit: bit at 1 = key pressed.

In our example the word %MW100 is used.

Bit 1 Bit 0

%MW100 F2 F1

Bits B0 and B1 are associated with the F1 and F2 command keys.

Graphic Magelis 5 - 31

Example

5.3.7 Locking the static function keys

To perform this function, you must:

• know the number of the displayed page,

• lock or unlock the key as the case may be.

Number of the displayed page

A word in the dialog table contains the number of the displayed page; the Page/property menu gives the number of each page:

Menu: page No. 1

Dough preparation: page No. 2

Dough baking: page No. 3

Maintenance: page No. 4

In our example word %MW101 is used.

Locking the static function keys

A word in the table is assigned to static function key locking. In our

Bit 1 Bit 0

%MW102

F2 F1 example word %MW102 is used.

Set bit B1 to 1 to lock the F2 key.

Key locking by the PLC

The program has the following structure:

If %MW101 (No. of the displayed page) = 1, 2 or 3 set bit B1 of word

%MW102 to 1 (F2 locked).

If %MW101 (No. of the displayed page) = 4 set bit B1 of word

%MW102 to 0 (F2 unlocked).

System messages

NO SAVING OF VALUE FOR OBJECTS SET TO ERROR:

Transient display after saving a recipe recording on the PCMCIA card.

Possible causes: a) the objects could not read their variables (symbol: or ), b) the request for saving has been initiated while all the objects had not read their variables. The objects are not displayed yet.

Remedies: a) - check that the equipment item of the variable(s) associated with the objects set to error is properly connected to the terminal,

- check that the variables of the objects set to error are declared in the PLC.

b) wait for the full page to be displayed before requesting saving.

In both cases: delete incomplete saving, solve the problem, save again.

OBJECTS SET TO ERROR NOT INITIALIZED: Transient display after loading of a recipe recording from the PCMCIA card.

Possible causes: a) some objects were set to error during saving and thus not saved, b) one or several objects have been added to the page since last saving of the recording; no value has thus been recorded by the objects.

Remedy: in both cases, the terminal initializes the relevant objects to 0.

The objects must be set to a correct value.

The recording must be saved again and include the values correctly initialized by the user.

All these actions must be performed before transfer to the control system in order not to transfer erroneous values.

OPERATION IN LOCAL MODE: Display in the status line.

In this mode, the terminal does not indicate the status of the

control system but usually the status of a recipe recording which has just been loaded from the PCMCIA card.
