- User Requirement Control System Interface
- Process control
- Production monitoring
- Preventive maintenance
- ...
- Operator Concerns
- User interface
- Level of involvement
- ...
- Developer Concerns
- Program structure

2. Structure of the applications
Each page may include the following:
- Static / Dynamic 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.
Pages are called up by :
- pressing a physical function key for terminals with keyboard,
- pressing a "virtual" function key called tactile zone for terminals with a tactile screen,
- pressing a "virtual" function key called tactile zone or tactile key for terminals with tactile keys (XBT-FC),
- The arrow keys are used to navigate within a page. Navigation consists of selecting various input fields.
- Access to pages may be password protected.
A - 16 Graphic Magelis
2. Structure of the applications
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.
The development page has the same dimensions as the screen in the graphics display of the configuring software. This means that the appearance of the page being developed is exactly the same as the page being run on the XBT.

2. Structure of the applications
Pages Types
Note
In operational phase, the terminal uses the system pages and the pages defined for the application.
System pages
Pre-configuerd by the terminal manufacturer provide:
- access to the list of pages, alarms, recipes and forms,
- access to alarm history,
- password entry,
- definition of the terminal parameters,
- definition of the protocol parameters,
- definition of the printer parameters,
- stop of printing in progress,
- access to the terminal adjustment function,
- printing of the terminal reference list.
An application can include several types of pages:
Application pages
Used to monitor system status, control, command, and control system
parameter modification ( see § 3. Application pages, Page 20
).
Alarm pages
Used to display control system fault and the corrective actions indicating with display priority (
).
Help pages
Used to display information associated with an application or alarm page
( see § 5. Help pages, Page 30 ).
Form pages
Used to print out printout forms (
see § 6. Form pages, Page 31 ).
Form pages cannot be displayed on the terminal. They are used for printing only.
A - 18 Graphic Magelis
2. Structure of the applications
Model pages:
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 application page development. Three types of page models can be configured:
- Application and recipe model page
- Alarm model page
- Help model 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 model will appear to be greyed out and cannot be modified.
General rules to follow when configuring an application:
- A model can be used by several pages, thus the application developer will not have to create several times common objects related to those pages.
- One and only one model is associated with each page.
- A dialog application may contain several models.
- Any given model can be associated with several different pages.
- A model type (application/alarm/help model) is associated with a page type (application/alarm/help page).
A
Graphic Magelis A - 19
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.
Composition of the application pages
An application page consists of 3 parts:
- Application region,
- Status line,
- Alarm strip.
Ex.
application region
Status line
Alarm strip
A - 20 Graphic Magelis
3. Application pages
Note
The application region
It may contain the following :
- Static alphanumeric texts,
- Variable fields,
- Static graphic objects,
- Dynamic graphic objects,
- Dynamic function keys or touchscreen zone according to the terminal type,
- 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
The accessible variables are single words, double words, floating words, word bits and ASCII strings.
For the MODBUS and MODBUS PLUS protocols, other types of variables are managed, see the service instruction related to the protocols.
A
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,
- double internal words,
- constant words,
- internal words
- internal words bit,
- internal 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.

A - 24 Graphic Magelis
3. Application pages
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,
- transfert to the PLC all the values in one single task.
The main advantage of a recipe page is that it can store up to 5000 variable values :
- in 1 to 125 recordings in the case of XBT-F,
- in a number of recordings limited by the capacity of the PCMCIA card, or the hard disk in the case of TXBT.
The recipe function avoids repetitive entries for the user.
A
Graphic Magelis A - 25
4. Alarm pages
Ex.
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.
A sensor fault occurs. The bit associated with the sensor fault changes to 1 in the control system.

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
Note the highest priority).
- It is possible to record (log) alarm pages to help control system troubleshooting.
- The alarms are time-stamped.
- Alarms may be configured to require an operator to acknowledge an alarm before continuing process operation; this is useful for transient alarms and troubleshooting.
- The terminals have a relay output whose contact can be closed when an alarm appears. This function can be configured for each alarm page.
This relay opens upon a power loss. The relay's contacts are normally open (N.0.).
A - 28 Graphic Magelis
4. Alarm pages
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.

Command data from the PLC to the terminal
GRAPHIC
TERMINAL
Status data from the terminal
to the PLC
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.
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.
A - 36 Graphic Magelis
10. PLC/terminal communication dialog
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.
A
Status table
Status data from the terminal to the PLC
Command table
Commands from the PLC to the terminal
Graphic Magelis A - 37
10. PLC/terminal communication 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.
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.

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
- profile,
- Man/machine interface,
- Intervention level,
- ...
- the criteria linked to the control system
- Production monitoring,
- Controlling the control system,
- Preventive maintenance,
- Corrective maintenance,
- ...
- 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.
B
Graphic Magelis B - 5
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.
B - 6 Graphic Magelis
2. 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.
B
Phase 6: Definition of application pages
NOTE
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 chapter D, "Confidential mode, password management", Page 18
, for all details). The zones protected by a password can be configured in specific menus.
System pages linked with XBT-L1000 can be protected by a password, as the application pages.
Graphic Magelis B - 7
2. 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 chapter D, "Alarm group",
, 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), before going on with the application operating,
- 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. ( see § 6. Translation of the application, Page 51

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
of this manual.
Cycle
The terminal's read/write period for the dialog table is used to optimize the terminal/PLC exchanges (
see chapter C, § 3. PLC/terminal communication dialog cycle, Page 30 ).
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 word in the
PLC and cannot execute any command.

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.
WARNING
UNINTENTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Terminals with tactile keys : only one object must be placed under each tactile key to be sure that the object is selected.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury,
or equipment damage.
Case of terminals with tactile keys :
- do not move the gray zone representing the tactile keys (loss of the reference),
- place only one object under each gray zone representing the tactile keys position,
- for positioning an object under a tactile key, put off the magnetic grid (select grid in the menu view).
Tool palette
To configure a tool onto a page, select the tool on the tool palette 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 tool's properties, double click the object.
The next page presents the different objects:
- Static object: S

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 chapter C, § 2. Dialog table content, Page 9 , index on “graph plottings performed” and
“Activating graphs plotting").
Duration of the curve window:
- the time displayed on the curve window depends on two parameters:
Numbers of points and Time selected to display a new curve point periodically or bit in the dialog table.
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. For more details:
See chapter C, "Optimization for communication", Page 31.

Variable limits
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 vumeters, etc.

Function key objects
Static function keys
Static function keys can be defined for the application to be used as:
- Access to a page
- Momentary contact command
- "Toggle" command
Dynamic function keys
Dynamic function keys are associated with the page displayed.
They can have the following functions:
- Access to a page
- Momentary contact command
- "Toggle" command
- Writing values,
- 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.
Both static and dynamic function keys are also programed through configuration/function keys" menu.
Configuration
- 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,

5. Creation of pages
NOTE A static or dynamic function key already configured is displayed by the software in inverse video when configuring new function key.
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 restriction.
- 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.
It is recommended to use static function keys for control functions, and dynamic function keys for moving around the pages and for entering data.
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)
- Access to a variable field
- Direct writing
By default the size of these images is adapted to the size of the keys (so they can be positioned opposite each other).
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

5. Creation of pages
Print labels of static function keys
This functionnality allows to print the sheets of re-usable labels of static function keys.
Select "configuration/function keys" menu or specific tool palette key, then press "creating labels" button.
B
After that, a "*.DOC" existing file can be opened or a new file can be created.
NOTE
In that case, XBT-L1000 will open WORD with the sheet of label corresponding to the current terminal programed by XBT-L1000.
Due to every printer having its own margins configuration, it is recommended to test on white sheets before using the sheets of labels.
New sheets of labels can be created by using WORD models (*.DOT) provided with XBT-L1000 software, apart from XBT-L1000 software.
The sheets of labels printed will never be associated to the current
XBT-L1000 application, thereby "configure type of function keys" window will not be updated.

5. Creation of pages
Model pages
NOTE
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.
The model pages can be locked using the “lock icon” icon. This prevents unintentional modifications of pages.
In fact, each modification on the model page is passed on the application pages, help or alarm associated.
About XBT-FC terminals, do not modify or move the gray frame representing the tactile keys (loss of the reference).
Place only one modifiable object under each tactile key to be sure of the object selection.
B - 36 Graphic Magelis
5. Creation of pages
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.

Application/Alarm/Help/Recipe pages
Creating the page architecture
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.

- Password (protection) if necessary
The application pages correspond to the “usual” man-machine dialog during normal operation of the terminal.
B - 38 Graphic Magelis
5. Creation of 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:
- 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.
B
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 B - 39
5. Creation of pages
NOTE To be able to trigger alarms from the PLC, the dialogue table
(available from "configuration/dialogue table has to be actived and the word "alarm table" has also to be selected on the dialogue table
( See chapter C, § 2. Dialog table content, Page 9 ).

Alarm table
The terminal can access alarms of all equipments registed in the equipment list (Configuration/Symbols equipments).
For this :
- Select the equipment and add the equipment table (Use the list zones at the top of the dialog table).
Graphic Magelis
5. Creation of pages
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 (
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.
For further details on low alarms traited by the terminal, see chapter D,
.
The Extensions button is used to enter the characteristics specific to an alarm page (
See chapter D, § 5. Alarms, Page 38

Recipe page
A specific model of the application page can be used to create “recipe” pages.
To create a "recipe", a new application page as to be created and the recipe model as also to be associated to that page.
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,
- tarts: 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. This means that, following the example provided above, there are only 3 recipes (3 application pages with model of recipes associated to each page).
For the first recipe called "viennese bread and buns", there are 3 differents recordings which contains a different set of values of the variable fields included on the first recipe page.
Then, for the second recipe called "bread", there are 4 recipes of the value of the values of the variable fields included on the second Recipe page.
Finally there are 2 recordings for the third recipe called "tarts".

11. Transferring the application and the protocol to the terminal
Loading of the application in the terminal can be done either by local transfer (direct connection with a cable between the computer and the terminal) or by remote transfer (connection via a Unitelway or Fipway network, between the computer and the terminal).
Local transfer
1. Install the terminal as shown in the service instructions.
2. Connect the terminal to the PC as shown in the service instructions
(XBT-Z915 cable and adaptor XBT-Z962).
3. Turn the power on to the terminal.
4. Open the application to be loaded.
5. In XBT-L1000 select menu Transfers/Export towards terminal.

Remote transfer
Prior condition to fulfil before doing remote transfer on XBT-F and TXBT
It is required that:
- Terminal is already configured with an application compatible with
Unitelway or Fipway. The current application must have been loaded according to one of the following methods :
- Local transfer.
- Insertion of a PCMCIA card containing such application.
- A communication card Fipway must be installed in the computer for use of this protocol on the terminal. XBT-L1000 does not take into account the installation of software (library, drivers…) associated to the cards; therefore the installation must have been done previously.
- Terminal address is already configured on XBT-L1000 (Menu
"Transfer/Remote" address). To get to address parameters click
"remote transfer" box.
Graphic Magelis B - 61
11. Transferring the application and the protocol to the terminal
Capture of the remote address
- Select menu Transfer/ remote address
- Capture terminal XWAY address (5 levels)
Export operation
In the menu "Transfer", select "Export", then "towards terminal"
NOTE
XBT-L1000 checks that the application you want to export is compatible with the XBT terminal which is connected your PC. XBT-L1000 also checks that the protocol installed is compatible with the connected terminal.
As XBT-L1000 controls the transfer, no particular operation needs to be done at the terminal.
XBT-L1000 displays a dialog window indicating transfer completion.
Remote transfer is slower than a local transfer, particularly for
Unitelway protocol.
It has the advantage of enabling modification of the dialogue application while the terminal is running.
B - 62 Graphic Magelis
12. Transferring the application and the protocol to a
PCMCIA card
Import/export file
If a PCMCIA read/write card 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.
Before performing an exportation to a PCMCIA card, it is necessary to define import/export file location (transfer menu, import/export file).
The application must be exported to the PCMCIA inside a directory called "appli". If it does not exist, the XBT-L1000 software will create this directory after performing "transfer menu / import / export file".
The name of the PCMCIA card as a hard PC unit is given automatically by the PC operating system (Windows 95, 98, NT).
In other cases (to a hard disk for example), the file name and its location can be different.
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.
B
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.
Before, use the Export/to import/export folder function to select the hard unit from which to import the application.
Graphic Magelis B - 63
13. Updating the application
Note
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.
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.

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 bits, 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).
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,

1. PLC/terminal communications dialog principle
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.

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.

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
NOTE
%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.
The word number is adapted in accordance with the words of the dialogue table used. The words are addressed in the order established in the "available functions".
C
Ex.
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.

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 = N°. from 1 to
1024.
%MWn+11: Last group of alarms acknowledged with 1 bit per group of alarms = H’FFFF’.
example: acknowledgement of alarm 5:
%MWn+10 = 5
%mWn+11 = H’FFFF’
Acknowledgement of a group of alarms: ACKALL :
%MWn+10: Number of the last alarm acknowledged = H’FFFF’. Only one group of alarms is selected in the list of alarms.
%MWn+11: Last group of alarms acknowledged with 1 bit per group of alarms = the bit corresponding to the group of alarms acknowledged it set to 0.

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+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.
This is the case for adjustment pages as PLC variables can always be read and written.

H’ A5’ Dialog table lengh
The value of this word is indicated (in Hexadecimal) in the dialog table configuration by XBT-L1000.
Example: For a table that is 20 words long, the PLC must write
H'A514' in the authorization word.
A5 = authorization, 14 = number of words in the dialog table (in
Hexadecimal).
Ex.
For a table that is 20 words long, the PLC must write H'A514' in the authorization word.

%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.
WARNING
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 death, serious 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.
%MWn+22: Clear log
See also %MWn+13: Log filling rate.
The PLC must write H'00FF' in word %MWn+22 to clear the log.
- The terminal clears the log and resets the log filling rate word

3. PLC/terminal communication dialog cycle
Optimization for communication
NOTE
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.
The operator actions are processed immediately, independent of the value of the dialog table period.
C
A very short dialogue cycle can slow down :
- variables refresh,
- new page display.
As a rule, only the words which are useful for the application should be selected to optimize communication.

2. Operating Principle
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)
- Printing of form pages,
- Consulting and acknowledging alarms
- Consulting the alarm log

- Accessing the terminal's self-diagnostic functions (keypad, display unit, etc.) (TXBT only).
WARNING
UNINTENTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION
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, panic, 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.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury,
or equipment damage.

2. Operating Principle
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.
NOTE
WARNING
UNINTENTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION
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 death, serious 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.
When an entire page is protected, password protection for individual field of that page is disabled.
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.
Each password is a string of 4 alphanumeric characters (default value
1111).
See chapter B, § 8. Configuring the terminal parameters, Page 55 .
D - 18 Graphic Magelis
2. Operating Principle
NOTE
Ex.
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” or for XBT-L1000, menu configuration/ parametres terminal/PASSWORDS.
When exporting an application to a terminal, the properties are set to the following values: automatic exit from confidential mode: NO.
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.
Examples :

4. Variable fields
Ex.
See chapter D, § 12. Variables adjustment on the TXBT, Page 68 .
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 MODBUS and MODBUS
PLUS protocols, other types of variables are also available, see the protocols service instruction.
For the TXBTs
In the case of XWAY protocols, the accessible variables are:
- internal word,
- constant word,
- internal word bit,
- double internal word,
- internal bit,
- 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.
D - 30 Graphic Magelis
4. Variable fields
In the case of a protocol other than XWAY, the accessible variables are singlel words, double words, floating words, and word bits.
The XBT-L1000 software makes it possible to define different field
properties. ( See chapter B, "Variable field characteristic", Page 29.
Accessing a field
Accessing the various fields in a page
The MOD key allows you to select: or
- The first field on the page
- 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.
For the terminals with tactile keys, press the tactile keys for accessing the fields directly.
D
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.
The order in which the page fields go to entry mode depends on the object alignment under XBT-L1000.
Graphic Magelis D - 31
4. Variable fields
NOTE
Accessing a field by means of dynamic function keys, tactile zone or tactile 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, with the action parameter : access to field.
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.
See chapter C, § %MWn+21: Recipe transfer not allowed, Page 25 , for
coding of this word.
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.
D - 32 Graphic Magelis
4. Variable fields
Field entry
Entering numeric fields
Use the 0 to 9, A to Z and +/- (+/- select, + by default) keys to enter alphanumeric values.

Terminals with the 5" tactile keys characteristics
The alphanumeric fields entry is performed in accordance with the coder wheel (limitation of the space for the keyboard display). Entry is done this way :
- Choice of the digit under modification,
- Selection of the value for the digit,
- Validation of the modified digits set.

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

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

NOTE The texts list, in the configured languages, can be imported to or exported from EXCEL format (filename .XLS).
See chapter B, § 7. Import/Export, Page 53 .
Ex.
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.
If the word %MW10 value is neither 0 nor 1, not any text will be displayed. The field became invisible.
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.

4. Variable fields
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. If in XBT-L1000, the access has been correctly configured in "immediate writing" or " immediate reading/writing", the value is transmitted to the PLC each time the key is pressed and without the need to press ENTER key or ENTER tactile zone on the terminnal.
NOTE Entry by coder wheel (XBT-FC terminals) : the immediate entry is accessible by a previous press on the SHIFT touch zone.
D
To configure the variables with XBT-L1000, see chapter B, "Variable field characteristic", Page 29 .
This entry mode is used by the operator to modify a field value in acontinuous manner in order to:
- prevent sudden skipping from one value to another,
- view the result of an action "in real time" (adjustment, positioning, etc.).
Graphic Magelis D - 37
5. Alarms
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
Ex.
For the detailed description of the alarm list, see "Description of the alarm list", Page 46 .

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.

5. Alarms
Alarm table
- A word bit is associated with 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.
Ex.
PLC dialog table containing
5 alarm words
5
PLC 1 dialog table containing 3 alarm words and 2 acknowledgment words associed (*1)
.

Any given alarm may be triggered by several differents bits that may belong to diffenrent PLCs.
Graphic Magelis
5. Alarms
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 (ON), disappearance (OFF) and acknowledgment (ACK) statuses. There are 16 groups.
Each group is identified by an 8-character name modifiable allowing quick identification by the operator of a part of the machine or of the installation.
Ex.
Group 1 : cracker1 colors defined :
- appearance : flashing red
- disappearance : steady green
- acknowledgment : flashing cyan
Group2 : convoy.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).
D
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 "Description of the alarm list", Page 46 ).
Graphic Magelis D - 41
5. Alarms
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 consulted are displayed at the top list. Below them are displayed alarms already consulted (identified by a mark)i.e. alarms which wera 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 first alarms displayed at the top are the not consulted (new) alarms, triggered while displaying any other page (criteria n
° 1).
D - 42 Graphic Magelis
5. Alarms
After triggered and already consulted, alarms are sorted by priority or time (criteria n
°
2 or 3)
The list of alarms is displayed after pressing the SHIFT + ENTER keys or the status touch zone and then ALARM for touchscreen terminals.
The last alarm displayed appears under “last alarm triggered”.

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.
D
Graphic Magelis D - 43
5. Alarms
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:
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).
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: Do not monopolize the screen with faults display 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.
Alarm relay command
NOTE
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.
In the event of a power loss to the terminal, the alarm relay de-energizes.

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.

6. Alarm history log
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),
- Displaying the selected alarm page.
The log is useful for analyzing the sequence of events which has led to a given machine state.

If the location of the executable program on the TXBT is changed, startup will be impossible.
Graphic Magelis D - 55
9. Key locking by the PLC
In order to prevent the operator from performing certain functions depending on the control system status, the PLC is able to lock out the terminal. There are 3 reserved words in the dialog table that allow various keys to be locked. These keys are:
- static function keys,
- system keys,
- numeric keys.
Word bit at 1 = key locked
The word concerning the system keys also contains a bit allowing the total lock of the keyboard or of the tactile pad. This total lock also affects the keys of a terminal with tactile keys.
See chapter C, § 2. Dialog table content, Page 9 , for the word coding
procedure.
WARNING
UNINTENTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION
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.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury,
or equipment damage.

3. Creating the application
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 ourexample word %MW102 is used.
%MW102
Bit 1 Bit 0
F2 F1
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).

2. System messages
No saving of value for objects set to error
Transient display after saving a recipe recording on the PCMCIA card.
Possible causes
- the objects could not read their variables (symbol: or ),
- the request for saving has been initiated while all the objects had not read their variables. The objects are not displayed yet.
Remedies:
- 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.
- 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:
- some objects were set to error during saving and thus not saved,
- 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.

10 GOLDEN SUGGESTIONS FOR A SUCCESSFUL
MAGELIS APPLICATION
1 Avoid superposing bitmaps in XBT-L1000 application; use a picture processing software (Paint,...) to di this and import only a single bitmap in
XBT-L1000 application.
2 Place the alphanumeric fields on a self colored frame. Don't place it on a big bitmap or on an animated object. If needed, insert a self colored rectangular shape between the background picture and the alphanumeric field. The legibility will be better.
3 An image box is better than the gathering of several animated lines, ellipses and rectangles.
4 For placing a background picture, place it in the model page rather than in the application page.
5 To improve the imported pictures processing, use a picture processing software (Paint,...) to adjust size and colors of pictures (use colorpal.pal or grey_pal.pal files in the XBT-L1000 installation directory).
6
7
To speed up the unitelway communication, change the number of addresses used by the terminal (2 becames 3).
Don't try to minimize at all cost the dialog table period. In all events, the operator actions are processed immediately, independent of the value of the dialog table period.
8 Do not use words with floating point if a simple word is enough.
9 Avoid the use of different fonts or different type of fields on the same page.
10 Only store the useful alarms.
