6.7.9 Character Codes and Creating a Keypad

A keypad is composed of a variety of function keys with different ASCII codes (0, 1, 2…..and a, b,
c…..) and special keys “ENT” (Enter), “BS” (Backspace), “CLR” (Clear) and ”ESC” (Escape).
Since any character can be assigned to a function key, specialized keypads can be made for any
application. Keypads are used with the Numeric and ASCII Input Parts to change their values.

How to create a typical Numeric keypad?

1. By creating one function key then duplicating it, changing its character code 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, ENT, BS, CLR and arranging the keys in a regular pattern, a keypad can be created as below:

FK_0 is created as following:

Other function key (FK_1~FK_14) are set for: ASCII(2)~ASCII(9) ASCII(0) ENT CLR
BS - "."
2. Create Numeric Input object:

After creating, [Save], [Compile], [On-line(Off-line) simulation] or [Download], the display

shows as below. When Numeric Input object is activated, function keys (FK_0~FK_14) become
Numeric Input keypad.

6.8 Moving Shape
The Moving Shape tool is used to place an object in a window at a location specified by the
PLC. The state and then absolute location of the shape in the window depend on the current values
of three continuous PLC registers. Generally speaking, the first register controls the state of the
object and the second one controls the horizontal position (X), and the third one controls the vertical
position (Y).

Procedure to place a Moving Shape

1. Click Moving Shape icon

2. Fill in General Tab Items:

Description: A reference name that you assign to the Moving Shape. (not displayed)
Read Address: Word in the PLC that controls the Moving Shape state, position and label.

4. Go to Label Tab: Fill in fields to denote states, if desired.

5. Click OK to place the Moving Shape on the window (x=1, Y=0) and then position and resize it.

Attribute Functions
Up to 32 different states can be assigned to the Moving Shape Part. The Read address should be 0
when the state is set to 1 or the object isn’t displayed. The corresponding address of Read address
from 0~31 is from 1~32. Position is controlled by the Read Address Device as shown in the table
below. (X for horizontal axis; Y for vertical axis)
Control by PLC X Y X&Y
Read Data Two words Two words Three words
Read Address Shape or Bitmap State Shape or Bitmap State Shape or Bitmap State
Read Address+1 X position Y position X position
Read Address+2 - - Y position
When scaling is used, scaling is performed as follows:
Display value = [(reading value – Input min) / (Input max – Input min)] * (Scaling max – Scaling
min)
When reverse scaling is used, scaling is performed as follows:
Display value = [(Input max – reading value) / (Input max – Input min)] * (Scaling max –
Scaling min)

Possible selections:

Style Functions:
X axis only The Moving Shape object Only move horizontally on X, on the
same time Input max (or min) isn't result. The first register records
the state of the object and the second one records the position.
Y axis only The Moving Shape object Only move vertically on X, on the same
time Input max (or min) isn't result. The first register records the
state of the object and the second one records the position.
 X & Y axis The Moving Shape object move on the both X and Y, on the same
time Input max (or min) isn't result. The first register records the
state of the object and the second one records the position of X
and the third one records the position Y.
X axis w/ scaling The Moving Shape object Only move horizontally on X, the
corresponding moving position is set up by inputting data and
proportion. ( If the 0~1000 of PLC is read but you want the
corresponding position is 0~640, the values of Input low and Input
high can be set for 0,1000 and the values of Scaling low and
Scaling high can be set for 0,640) The first register records the
state of the object and the second one records the position.
Y axis w/ scaling The Moving Shape object Only move vertically on Y, the
corresponding moving position is set up by inputting data and
proportion. ( If the 0~1000 of PLC is read but you want the
corresponding position is 0~480, the values of Input low and Input
high can be set for 0,1000 and the values of Scaling low and
Scaling high can be set for 0,480) The first register records the
state of the object and the second one records the position.
X axis w/ reverse scaling X axis w/ scaling)
Y axis w/ reverse scaling Y axis w/ scaling)

6.9 Animation
The Animation Part is used to place an object on the screen at a specified location determined
by a predefined path and data in the PLC. The state and the absolute location of the shape on the
screen are controlled by current reading value of two continuous PLC registers. Typically, the first
register controls the state of the object and the second controls the position along the predefined
path. When the PLC position register changes value, the shape or bitmap jumps to the next position
along the path.

5. Fill in Numeric Tab items: Set up the Font, Color and Align of the display.
6. Click OK to place the Numeric Data part on the window.

The format of the numeric display:

Decimal:
For Raw data Display, the reading value is displayed in its original value as a decimal number
in the range two attributes appear after selecting the decimal system:
Raw data display: Display the raw data and arrange the data according to the No. below
Dec. If the No. below Dec. is 2, the number 14561 displays as145.61.

Do conversion: The reading value is converted to engineering units before display.

Scaling is performed as follows:
(Reading value–Input min) * (Engineering max–Engineering min)
Display value = Engineering min+
(Input High – Input min)

The changing value will show the data according to the establishment of "No. above Dec." and
"No. below Dec.". For example if the number as 123.456 but No. below Dec. =2, No. above
Dec. =3, number value shows that as "123.45", the last datum has been removed after
changing.

Example: If the range of the input data is 0~1000, and the value written in the PLC is 0~100
(namely for relation of 0.1 times), should set up as follows:

Input lower limit =0, Input upper limit =100, Engineering low =0, Engineering high =1000, the
following picture shows:
Hexadecimal: The number is displayed in hex (0~9, A~F) format. Scaling is disabled.

Binary: The number is displayed in binary (0 & 1) format. Scaling is disabled.

 To Hexadecimal number system and the binary scale form, inputting the maximum and
inputting the minimum regards as agreeing with the binary scale data.

Mask: Displays only “****” and ignores the reading value. This is used for security code input.
Its proportion of conversion and decimal point, etc. have selected and has been all neglected.

Single float: Data in the controller is translated from a 32 bit IEEE Floating-Point format to a
decimal number and displayed.

Double float: Data in the controller is translated from a 64 bit IEEE Floating-Point format to a
decimal number and displayed.

At the time of the data entry of the decimal system, if choose to " show initial data", input the
minimum and input the restriction range that the maximum will be regarded as the effective data-in ,
if choose " the project data are changed ", the project changes the maximum and project and
changes the restriction range that the minimum will be regarded as the effective data-in.

Do conversion, so:
(Input data-Engineering low)*(Input high-Input low)
PLC value = + Input low.
(Engineering high-Engineering low)

6.24 Event Log

Event Log Messages are displayed on the Event Display Part. The message to be displayed on the
Event Display must first be registered in the Event Log list. A bit or word device controls each
message. If the bit or word device activates (either ON/OFF or value limit), the corresponding
message is displayed in the Event Display.
(This object is just for logging in the event. Event is displayed from Event Display.)

Procedure to add/modify the Event Log

1. Click Event Log Tool

2. Select the [Add] button to add a new message or select [Setting] to modify the current
information.
3. Fill in Attributes Dialog:
Address type: Select Bit or Word address type.
Read Address: Specifies the PLC bit or word address that triggers the message.
Attribute:
Event trigger:
Bit Address type: ON: displays message when bit is ON.
OFF: displays message when bit is OFF.

Words Address type: When value in word is less than entered value, use “<” to trigger. When
value in word is greater than entered value,u se “>” to trigger
 Print:
On trigger: Prints out message when event is triggered.
Return to normal: Prints out message when the event returns to normal state.
Category: Event category (reserved for future use)
Text: Input the context, color and font of the event information.

Note: The inside data in the body of memory can include in Event information.
The format as follows:
%nnd
%: The starting delimiter
nn: An internal register (LW) number 00-99
d: The ending delimiter
For example: The Content field is set as "Current temperature value %25dF: HIGH ALARM"
If LW25 = 120 then the message are printed out as "Current temperature value 120F: HIGH
ALARM". To print out current value of PLC register data, first assign a Recipe transfer object or
PLC Control/General Control to move data from the PLC to internal (LW) memory. Write Value:
A value to be written to the Write address of the Event Display when the event is acknowledged.
The value is the window number of the popup indirect window.

4. Click OK, the message appears in the Event Log message summary box.
Note: In order to take full use of communication bandwidth, it is recommended that a block of
continuous PLC bit devices be used for the Event Log list. For example: Use Bits 100 to 199 to
control the display of all event messages so that one read command retrieves Bits 100 to 199 all at
once instead of one bit at a time.

6.25 Event Display

The Event Display part opens a window to display messages in prioritized order. Various
formatting features allow the display of event trigger, acknowledge and return to normal times. The
use of the RTC or the retrieve of time from PLC is required for proper display of the time. (This
object displays the event only).
Procedure to create an Event Display Part.
1. Click Event Display icon

2. Fill in General Tab Items:

Description: A reference name that you assign to the Event Display. (not displayed)
Read Address: Used to control the scrolling, up and down, of the Event display window. The
value in the read address is the relative distance from the event in the topmost line of the display.
All active messages are sorted by time, the new events are displayed on the topmost line and
previous ones are below it If the value is N, the No. N information will be displayed in the first
line.
No. of words: The Read address and write address are fixed at 1 for this part.
Write Address: A word that receives the write value specified in the Event Log’s trigger event.

3. Fill in Event Display Tab Items:

Display line: Specify the window height in lines of Font 16 text per line.
Character length: Specify the number of words displayed on each line.
Text space: The number of pixels above and below messages.
Acknowledge style: Click is touch once. Double click is touch twice quickly.

Now come to do an example about the fact that the incident shows.
1. Project on it establish at first each it is new, in [editor ] /[system parameter ] in choose by correct
PLC type and parameter.
2. In [incident log-in ] in add 2 piece incident, show picture:

The first incident among them [the exporting value] is 20, the second incident [the exporting
value ] is 21.
3. Adding an indirect window in window 10 of project of establishing newly, its [reads address ] is
LW5.
4. Add an incident to show the component in window 10, u.i.:
 Event display object transfers one shape at bottom, in order to strengthen the result of showing.
5. Add a switch state that Set Bit object switch controls LB10.
6. Add a text object, show the content in order to " raise the temperature ".
7. Adding one Set word object, it is set up as follows:

Window 10 is shown by the following picture finally:

8. Creat window is 20, the following picture shows, there are a text object and one Toggle Switch
Object which controls LB10.

9. Creat window 21, the following picture shows, there are a text object and one Set word object.

The establishment of Set word object is as follows:

10. [save ], [compile ],[on(off)- line imitate ] or can't download, this procedure operation result is
like the Fig.:
 When touch off LB10 or LW30 to the corresponding condition, will present corresponding Event
information . In China's log-in the outputs of 2 incidents are worth 20, 21 is the window serial
number of event window that will spring when the incident is touched off.

6.26 PLC Control

The PLC control provides a way for the PLC to control HMI system functions.\

Procedure to create a PLC control function.

1. Click PLC control icon to pop up the PLC control summary screen.
2. Click on the Add button to create a new PLC control function.
Click on the Setting button to edit an existing PLC control function. If you
Click on the Delete button and the current highlighted function is deleted.

3. Fill in PLC control dialog:

Read Address: Designates the address of the PLC control register.

Attribute: Assign the operation activated by this function.
Type of control: See Types of Controls below.

4. Click on the OK button to create the object and exit the dialog.

5. Click on the Close button to exit the PLC Control summary.

Types of Controls
Change Window
This operation uses two addresses. The Read address holds the active window number. If the
 value stored in the Read address changes to a valid window number, that window number then
replaces the currently displayed window. The new window number is moved into the Read
Address + 1 register.
Read address Controls screen changes by number
Read address+1 Destination screen number is written

As the example above, the current window is 10. If LW0 is assigned to 20, the current window
will change to window 20 and value 20 then be returned LW1.

Change Window precautions:

Whenever function key of one "Change Window" is pushed, will close the present window, and
will show the goal window. But PLC its function of controlling the component [Change Window]
is similar to " switching over the basic window " the function key, only it is touched off by PLC
register but not touched accusing of operating and touching off. When the value of reading the
address is changed into a new effective window serial number, will close the window at present
and show the window appointed from the address of reading, then the content of reading the
address will write and read address +1. This is operated and will when change in value that [read
address ] only be touched off, and this value changes once and can only carry on the screen once
to switch over.
Back light control
The function turns the display’s backlight OFF when the Read address turns ON. When the
backlight is OFF, a touch reactivates the backlight.
 At this time, the state of LB0 is ON. Retouch LB0 turns the state to OFF so that the backlight
goes back to the previous state.

Screen hardcopy
The function use a Read address to control the printout of current screen. If the bit is triggered
from OFF to ON, the current screen is printed out. Set the valid printer type from [System
parameters]/[General]/[Screen hardcopy]. Please refer to the context of [Screen hardcopy] on
Ch.11

Report printout
Prints the screen number designated by the Read address. After the screen is printed, the Read
address is set to 0.Please refer to the context of [Report printout] on Ch.11

Back light control (write back)

Turns the display’s backlight OFF when the Read address turns ON Whenever the backlight is
turned OFF (through PLC control or time-out) the HMI turns the Read address bit OFF in the
PLC. When the backlight is OFF, a touch reactivates the backlight.

As the example above, when the LB3 turns to ON, backlight is off and LB3 is given the order of
OFF. When the user touches the screen, the backlight turns to ON but LB3 is still OFF.

Write Data to PLC(current base window)

Can use this to operate when PLC wants to know the serial number of the present basic window.
The data content of PLC is serial numbers of the present basic window to deserve and operate
returning and giving.

Notice: When switch over the basic window, the touch-sensitive screen will convey the present
basic window serial number to the designated word address automatically.
 uch as pursueing, when one PLC set up as above controls object , will preserve the serial number
of present base window in word address LW0.

General PLC Control

This control is used to trigger data transfer to and from the PLC.

There are four transfer directions:

1. PLCÆRW(Recipe Data Register),Read address value=1
2. PLCÆLW(Local data memory of touch screen),Read address value=2
3. RW(Recipe Data Register)ÆPLC,Read address value=3
4. LW(Local data memory of touch screen)ÆPLC,Read address value=4
Concrete to prove as follows:
Control the component while establishing the communication frame to choose location " General
PLC Control " to control in PLC, read type and address of choosing the control register used in
the address column, pay attention to regarding single charactering (Word ) as the unit, the system
will be automatic planning controls the data and chooses the register address in order that " data
transmission control the register " as four continuous data registers of the start address with PLC
that is established , their concrete meaning and operation method are as follows:

1. Establish the address of reading: He expresses the type of data transmission carried out, as
stated, have four kinds in all, used for storing and controlling the code of the type in this register,
when the register is written into the new control code, the system carries out corresponding
transmission promptly, this register will be restored to the throne is 0 soon after transmit and
finish.

2. Establish and read address +1: It shows the size of one of the data transmitted, namely the
number of words of one of data transmitted.

3. Establish and read address +2: It shows what needs paying attention to in skew amount of the
data register address of PLC in the transmission course is that this skew amount is to in the
register " establishing and reading address +4 " And the the speech one, for example regard
OMRON PLC as for example fruit PLC controls the address of reading established
interchangeably in the component as DM100, and the start address of one of data of PLC
operated while the data in register DM102 are transmitted for 4 is DM108 =[( 100+4+4].

4. Establish and read address +3: It expresses the prescription data register of the touch-sensitive
screen in the transmission course (RW), or local address skew amount of data register (LW) skew
amount for example above if data of DM103 100 in giving an example, data of touch-sensitive
screen of transmission course start address of piece RW (LW ) 100 then =( 0+100).

Lift the instance of using as follows:

Is it control with PLC data transmission of word is it touch reject data of filling a prescription of
the register a initial one the same and heavy with RW200 to get DM100 initial 30 of OMRON
PLC to need now In little data one, the method to realize is as follows:
1. supposes at first that we control transmitting with DM10 four initial data registers, should put
one PLC and control the component at the window of the touch-sensitive screen first , choose
the type to control for PLC in common use , read the address as DM10.
2. next, should confirm the skew amount of the size and address of one of operating data , it is 30
to give the establishing value of DM11, show that it is 30 words to transmit the size of one of
the data; It is 86 to give the establishing value of DM12, it is DM100 of PLC that it is initial to
show the source operated =( 14+86) ; It is 200 to give the establishing value of DM13 , show
that the goal address is RW200 =( 0+200) .
3. needs establishing and transmitting the type code according to the direction of data
transmission finally, carry out the transmission course, it is 1 to give the establishing value of
DM10, show and carry out data transmission in data one of PLC that will establish the start
address that reaches the touch-sensitive screen which establishes the start address to fill a
prescription in the memory data one. If it is 3 to establish DM10 value, it is in opposite
direction to transmit.

As a same reason, the transmission of two kinds of other directions is operated the samly, just
touch and reject the square data memory to turn into local data register LW.
6.27 System Message
Customize system messages for different languages.
When the display cannot access the PLC,"PLC no response"is displayed.
When the reply message from PLC is different than expected,"PLC response error"is displayed.
When the system runs out of memory or some other fatal error occurs,"System severe error"is
displayed.

Procedure to modify system messages

1. Click System Message icon to pop up the system message dialog box.
2. Fill in appropriate text for the content of each message.
3. Press OK to finish the modification.
There are these 3 systematic information that can generally let users revise. For furhter details,
please refer to appendix me about other systematic information [system information ]

6.28 Object Superpose

If superpose a lot of components together, a lot of special functions will emerge. MT500 can
support the superposing of a lot of objects , when touch and accuse of these objects, the procedure
will carry out corresponding operation with the different levels order of each object , touched and
accused of at first in object of the upper strata the most, then the second layers of object. For
example: If 6 (Set Bit/Toggle Switch ) objects are superposed together, whether control Y0 (upper
strata most ) reach Y5 (lower floor most ) , then when touch and accuse of these objects , MT500 is
the executive program in the order of the following separately.
First layer Y0 Carry out the order of Y0 at first
The second layer Y1 Carry out the order of Y1
The third layer Y2 .
4th layer Y3 .
5th layer Y4 .
6th layer Y5 Carry out the order of Y5 finally
Control Y0 to open / close at first, then control Y1 to open / close (the second step), control Y2 to
open / close (the third step) …….Control Y5 to open / close (the 6th step).

User must pay attention to one point: When MT500 meets and switches over the basic window
order, it will neglect in the component of this component ground floor and switch over to the goal
window directly. The following picture, if Y2, in order to switch over the basic window function
key, then the following Y5 of Y3 will be neglected.
First layer Y0 Carry out the order of Y0 at first
The second layer Y1 Carry out the order of Y1
The third layer Y2 Change Base Window
4th layer Y3
5th layer Y4
6th layer Y5
Proposing object that is superposed, the figure don't be over 32.
