Infosheet Define Tags

Each object in a mask that processes data, whether it be as a display or an entry field, uses tags or entire data blocks (which can contain tags).A tag can be placed inside a data block. This kind of tag thus represents the value or the bit in the PLC. If a tag is not placed in a data block, it is used as an internal tag (placeholder) and is not processed by the PLC.

There are three main types of tags - BIT tags, VALUE tags and ERROR tags.The VALUE tags are furthermore divided into three sizes - BYTE, WORD and DWORD (double word)

Value-Tags

Value tags can be assigned the following parameters:

·Minimum, Maximum, Default value: the lower and upper limit of a value are used for the colour change in the event that the actual value is out of the defined range. These values must be defined in the same way as they are defined in the PLC (without conversions)·Number format decimal, signed decimal, hex, binary or octal·Type of limit values

""Open": The limit values cannot be adjusted and are preset to the maximum values (e.g. for WORD 0..65535)"Constant": The limit values can be defined as required."Dynamic": The limit values are again tags of the same type that must have open or constant limit values ("Open" or "Constant").·UnitUp to two units of measurement can be defined with separate conversion factors.·A conversion factor is the factor used to directly convert the value from the PLC (PLC value) to the value to be displayed on the HMI (HMI value).

Bit-Tags

A bit tag is used to indicate or set a binary state. This -for example- can be a switch, a button or a light signal.Only the default value (0 or 1) needs to be defined for a bit tag. This setting, however, is only meaningful if the HMI is not connected to a PLC.

Error Tags

An Error tag is used to display an error text in an Error window. Either an error text or a help text can be assigned an "error tag". The maximum length of those texts depends on the font size selected. The display length of the error texts cannot exceed one line, whilst help texts should not exceed the size of the relevant help window. The number of characters that can be displayed depends on the font size selected.

Error Texts inside an Error Window

All error texts that are defined for the Error window will be displayed in it. Use the cursor buttons to scroll up and down the list. Press the Help button ("Function key") to call up a Help text window for the currently displayed error.

Define Tags Page 2/2


Infosheet Assign Tags

Communication between the HMI and the PLC is carried out in data blocks. There are always entire data blocks transferred and never individual bytes or bits.This ensures that communication is considerably more efficient and thus makes the modified data in the PLC available more quickly. Another advantage is when the project is adapted for a different PLC, since only the reference addresses of the configured data blocks need to be adapted and not the addresses for each tag. The size of a data blocks can be selected in steps of 4 bytes up to 64 bytes. This can vary according to the PLC used. A data block must only contain tags of the same type.

Page 1/2

08.03.2000 / Info_1.PPT

A tag can be inserted to the block at every position. It is also possible to have gapsbetween the single tags of a block.

For assigning a tag to the block, select the tag in the right window and press the button "<<" or make a double-click on the tag. After that the tag will be moving from the right window to the left window.

A tag can be removed from the block by selecting it and by pressing the button ">>“.


Infosheet

If the tab „Address“ is selected, a start address for the block can be defined.

Enter the start address for the block only at this position !

Infosheet Button and Flag Display

The following example shows the parametrization of a „Button“ and a „Flag Display“ :

The element shown beside is an „overlayed element“ consisting of a button (Set Bit) and a flag display.

[The „Button“ sends an information (when pressed) to the PLC. This bit is processed by the PLC and sent back to the MV4. Depending on the state of this bit, the Flag Display is ON or OFF.]

Button:The button is assigned to %M0.0.0.10.3 (switch3), Transparent, No Frame.

Flag Display:The Flag Display is assigned to %M0.0.0.0.3 (lamp3) and consists of twoBitmaps.

Infosheet Wahlschalter definieren

The following example shows the parametrization of a switch :

This object enables single or several bits in value tags (bytes, word or Dword in the PLC) to be set or cleared at the same time.

Pressing the button enables a tag to be set to a particular value or a bit to be moved to the left or to the right.

Set Bit MaskTouching the button on the MMI will cause the tag to be set to any value required.If the User Bit Mask check box is activated, the value can be entered in binary format in the fields ON underneath it.If the User Bit Mask check box is not activated the Steps/Bit setting can be used to define which bit in the tag is to be set to 1. In this configuration, only one bit can be set within the tag (all others will be set to "0").

If several switches are assigned the same tag, it is possible to configure them to toggle between the on and off state.

Set Two Bit MasksIf the button on the HMI is in the ON state, the tag is set according to the ON fields. If the button is in the OFF state, the tag is set according to the OFF fields.If User Bit Mask is activated, the values can be entered in the ON and OFF fields beneath it in binary format.If User Bit Mask is not activated, the "Bit" setting determines which bit in the tag is to be set to "1".In this configuration only one bit in the tag can be set, and all other bits are "0".

When used in conjunction with the Set two Bit Masks ON/OFF function, this field specifies the bit position at which the button is shown in the On state according to the Preview.

Infosheet Value Entry

The following Example shows a Value Entry with a numeric keyboard.

This object is used to enter a tag of type BYTE, WORD or DWORD as a numeric value on the HMI. The data direction must be MMI->PLC or MMI-PLC. The entries can change colour if the value is outside of a defined range.

The font, font size and alignment can be set on the Disable Style with 'not accessible'' page.

The entry range is limited by the Maximum and Minimum values.

Page 1/3

08.03.2000 / Info_1.PPT


Infosheet

First the tag has to be defined :

If you select the tab „Limits“, you can enter different Limits for this tag. The limits will generate a „Colour-Changing“ to the tag value.

08.03.2000 / Info_1.PPT

Value Entry Page 2/3


Infosheet

If no Limits are neede, leave the tab select the option "Open" . The limits will be set automatically to the maximum value of the tag. Size unsigned signedBYTE 0..255 -127..128WORT 0..65535 -32768..32767

By selecting the option “Constant" for each single step a separat value can be entered. Look after the following rules :

·Minimum has to be less than Maximum ·Lower Limit has to be less than Upper Limit·Lower Limit has to be greater than Minimum ·Upper Limit has to be less than Maximum ·Default has to be greater than Minimum and less than Maximum

If you would like to change Limits during runtime, you will have to select the option “Dynamic“ . Now you can enter a tag for each single limit, which represents a value for this limit.

Selecting the tab „Units“ allows you to enter an engineering unit for this tag or enter a scaling formula .

At last the tag has to be assigned to a marker address in a block.

Infosheet Value Display

This object enables a tag of type BYTE, WORD or DWORD to be displayed as anumeric value. The data direction must be HMI -PLC. The display can change colour if the actual value is outside of a defined range.

The font, font size and justification can be set on the Disable Style with „not accessible'' page.

Infosheet Define Bargraph

This object enables a value tag (BYTE, WORD, DWORD) to be shown as a bargraph. The bargraph has three colour ranges (>= Upper Limit, In Range, <= Lower Limit).

Whether the object is a touch zone or not is defined with the Keyboard setting. If no keyboard is selected, the object is automatically a display.

The size of the bars is converted to percentages :

- Full bar = 100 percent = Maximum- Empty bar = 0 percent = Minimum

Infosheet Graph Definitions

The graph object is used for displaying values graphically. All BIT and VALUE tags can be displayed graphically within the graph object. How to assign tags is described in Graph Definitions.The window height always represents 100% of the maximum tag value. The limit values of tags with dynamic limits are the values of the dynamic limit tags for Minimum and Maximum.See also Limits, Dynamic Limits and Units of Measurement and Conversion Factors

The tag values of graph blocks are cleared when the MMI is switched off. Selecting the „Clear after Restart“ option causes the values to be cleared when the plotting of the graph block is started (see Start/Stop Graph 0..99).If plotting was started when the MMI was switched off, plotting will be automatically restarted the next time the MMI is switched on. The maximum window width and maximum number of measuring points (no. of measurings) is limited by the object width, i.e. with an X resolution of 640, a maximum number of 640 measuring points is possible. A maximum of 100 graph objects is possible per project. Up to 32 different tag values can be shown per graph object, i.e. the maximum permissible number of curves is 32.

The figure below shows a typical Galileo graph object:
