Installation 1 1.1 Installation The Configuration Tool The configuration tool is a software package used for developing projects for operator panels in the E1000-series. The functions in the configuration tool depend on which operator panel model is used. In the configuration tool a project is created with graphic blocks and text blocks, which are then transferred to the operator panel. The configuration is described in the chapter Configuration with the Configuration Tool.
Installation 10 Mitsubishi Electric, MA00759F
General 2 General This chapter describes the structure of an application project in the operator panel. There is also an explanation of the general principles, object parameters, and joint functions applicable in the operator panel. 2.1 Method for Creating a Project The graphical structure of the application in the operator panel constitutes a wellarranged monitoring tool for the operator. It is important to organize the application well and to consider which functions are necessary.
General 2.2 Blocks Each block has a number between 0 and 989 allocated by the developer. The blocks 990-999 are reserved for special purposes, so-called system blocks. The operator panel is object-orientated, which means that a block can contain all the signals linked to an object for the control and monitoring of, for example, a pump. Block properties, such as block number and type of block, are defined for each block.
General 2.3 Signal Format The following signal formats are available in the dialog for each object, on the assumption that the selected driver supports the signal format. Format type Area Signed 16-bit -32,768 – +32,767 Unsigned 16-bit 0 – +65,535 Signed 32-bit -2147483648 – +2147483647* Unsigned 32-bit 0 – +4294967295* Float with exponent, 32-bit ±3.4E38*. Numbers larger than 1,000,000 are shown with exponent.
General 2.4 Efficient Communication To make the communication between the operator panel and the controller quick and efficient the following should be noted about how the signals are read and how the reading can be optimized. Signals Affecting Communication Time Only signals to objects in the current block are read continuously. This also includes signals for object dynamics. Signals to objects in other blocks are not read, thus the number of blocks does not affect the communication time.
General How to Make the Communication More Efficient Group Controller Signals Consecutively Signals from the controller are read most rapidly if all signals in the list above are consecutive. If for example, 100 signals are defined, the quickest way to read these is to link them, for example, M0.0-M11.7. If the signals are spread (e.g. I0.4, Q30.0, M45.3 etc.) the updating is slower.
General 2.
General 2.6 Project Documentation Project Printouts Select File/Print... to print the project.

Recipes 9 Recipes This chapter describes the function for recipe management, which enables all the dynamic data in one or more blocks, i.e. the signals and their values, to be saved to a file in the operator panel. The operator can then download the files to the controller, which will start working with the new values. By using the function for recipe handling it is possible to reuse large sets of parameters.
Recipes 9.1 Calculation of Recipe Size To calculate how much space a recipe requires in the project memory, the following equation is used. (The equation is not exact in view of the file system’s complexity in the operator panel.) S = 90 + Σ (2 ∗ IOGi + 28) S = number of bytes. If S is calculated to be less than 360, then S is set to 360. Σ = number of I/O series. IOGi = number of I/O in each I/O series Note: The maximum number of I/Os in a recipe is 1000.
Recipes 9.2 Recipe Properties and Recipe Directory Double-click on Recipe in the Project Manager to make properties for recipe handling and to create, edit and delete recipe directories.

Index Addressing 16 Index Addressing With index addressing, it is possible for the operator to select from which register an object is to collect the shown value. Without index addressing an object is always connected to the same register, and only the value in this register can be shown in the object. Index addressing is set up by adding the value in the index register to the address of the register which is the analog signal in the object.
Index Addressing Register D0 is defined as Index register 1 by double-clicking on Index under the Setup folder in the Project Manager. The value in the register will determine for which motor the torque and speed are to be shown. If the value is 1 in D0, the torque and speed for Motor 1 will be shown. If the value is 2 the values for Motor 2 are shown, and if the value is 3 the values for Motor 3.
Index Addressing The torque and speed are shown in two numerical objects. In the object for torque, D10 is specified as the analog signal and I1 as the index register. In the object showing the speed, D20 is specified as the analog signal and also here I1 as the index register. With the maneuverable Multiple choice object it will then be possible to select the alternatives Motor 1, Motor 2 and Motor 3 in the operator panel. Depending on this choice, the values will be set to 1, 2 and 3 in register D0.
Index Addressing Note: If the operator panel is connected to a BDTP network, the same index register must be stated in the server and the client because the indexing is made in the server driver.
Communication 17 Communication This chapter describes communication with two controllers, the communication modes Transparent, Passthrough, No Protocol and modem connection. 17.1 Communication with Two Controllers (Dual Drivers) It is possible to use two different drivers in the operator panel, which means that the operator panel can communicate with two different controllers simultaneously.
Communication Double-click on the Peripherals folder in the Project Manager. Drag Controller 1 and Controller 2 to the connection ports where the respective controllers are connected. It is possible to use RS232C, RS422, RS485 and the Ethernet port. For further information on the connection of controllers to the operator panel, see the manual for respective drivers.
Communication Example: Controller 1 is preset. Register D0 in controller 2 is to be connected to a Bar Graph. D0@2 is entered in the field Analog signal in the dialog for the bar graph. I/O Cross Reference The I/O cross reference function can be used to show I/Os in a well-arranged manner for both Controller 1 and Controller 2. The cross reference shows the preset controller.

Network Communication 18.6 Recommendations and Limitations for Network Communication To make the communication between operator panels and controllers in an operator panel network (BDTP network) quick and efficient, it is important to optimize the transfer of signals in the network. Read the chapter Efficient Communication and carefully follow the recommendations to optimize the network functionality in the operator panel.
Network Communication Passthrough Mode through Ethernet With the program HMI Tools Connect (an icon in the program group HMI Tools) it is possible to activate/deactivate a communication port for communication in Passthrough mode (Transparent mode if this is supported by the drivers, see the chapter Communication). For the function Passthrough mode (see the chapter Communication) to function with communication through Ethernet (the TCP/IP protocol), the following requirements must be fulfilled.
Network Communication Alarm Handling The operator panel network is a client/server network. Servers provide data, e.g. alarm signals, to clients. A large number of different signals influence the communication time between operator panels and controllers in the network, which means that the number of these signals should be limited. For further information, see the chapter Efficient Communication.
Network Functions in the Operator Panel 19 Network Functions in the Operator Panel This chapter describes operation of the functions for the FTP server, SMTP client, operator panel applet and Web server function in the operator panel. Not available for E1012 and E1022. For further information about the different functions, please see the chapter Network Communication. 19.
Network Functions in the Operator Panel Root Library The root directory (current operator panel name) contains the following directories, ALARMS, HTML, RECIPES, TRENDS and IMAGES directory. See the section The IMAGES Directory for further information. Only the directories the user (account) has access to are shown. There is also a text file, info.txt, containing information about the operator panel. The File info.txt The file info.
Network Functions in the Operator Panel The HTML Directory The data files handled by the web server are stored here. Subdirectories can be created. The start file (the HTML page shown as the first web page in the web browser) must always be called index.html. By default, the operator panel’s diagnostic page is set as index.html. If another start page is required, replace the index.html file. File Format The file format depends on the type of file. A standardized file format such as HTML etc. is used here.
Network Functions in the Operator Panel The TRENDS Directory The directory is only available if there are trends and/or data loggings defined in the operator panel and the operator panel is running. The trend objects are shown as .skv files with 0 length. It is only possible to read files. To read a file it must be opened with the attribute READ. The attribute READWRITE will cause an error. Curve 1 must be used for a trend to be valid.
Network Functions in the Operator Panel The IMAGES Directory Images in the format BMP can be saved in the IMAGES directory. The bitmap images are presented in Static symbol objects in the operator panel when it is running. It is only possible to write, replace and delete files in this library. However, it is not possible to create sub-directories. If you check the box Use dynamic bitmaps for a static symbol object, the operator panel will collect the specified bitmap file (name.
Network Functions in the Operator Panel 19.2 SMTP Client SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a TCP/IP protocol used to send and receive e-mail. Since SMTP has limited functions to store received messages it is normally used together with one or two other protocols, POP3 or IMAP. These protocols allow the user to save messages in a server mailbox from where they can be collected later. This means that SMTP is normally used to send e-mail, and POP3 or IMAP to receive messages stored in the local server.
Network Functions in the Operator Panel 19.3 Web Server A web server is a program which handles files that are to be displayed in a web browser, e.g. Internet Explorer. Each computer on the Internet containing a web page must have a web server program.

Function Keys 21 Function Keys This chapter describes how function keys are used, and how to convert the arrow keys on the operator panel to function keys. A function key can be configured to control and change the values of devices in the controller. The function key can also be assigned to switch block, start a macro or other functions like load recipe, login and log out. Note: It is only possible to activate two signals connected to function keys at the same time.
Function Keys 21.1 Definitions There are two ways of defining function keys; globally and locally. Global function keys are defined and used in the complete application, i.e. they are valid in all blocks. Local function keys are defined and used in one block. A global definition can always be accessed when the operator panel is running, provided that the current block does not have any local definitions for that function key. Local definitions have higher priority than global definitions.
Function Keys Function Description I/O The signal activated by the function key. The subsequent field is used to specify an index register and signal format. See the chapters Index Addressing and Signal Format. Event By selecting Event it is possible for the key to influence the given signal according to the following alternatives: Momentary means that the signal is set to one as long as the key is pressed. Toggle means that the signal is set to one or reset alternately when the key is activated.
Function Keys Function Description Macro The selected macro is run. See the chapter Macros. With the button Edit macro the name of the selected macro or the macro event for the selected event can be changed. Security Level Function keys can be defined with a security level, which means that the operator must log in with a password for the same or higher security level to be able to use the function key.
Function Keys Function Description Jump to info block connected to the alarm Jumps to a block linked to the alarm. Applies to the selected alarm line or in the alarm list. See the chapter Alarm Management for further information. List alarm groups Selects from which alarm group the alarm should be shown in the alarm list. Saves alarm list to memory card Copies the alarms in the operator panel to a USB memory stick. See the chapter Alarm Backup for further information.
Function Keys 21.3 Joystick Function Only applicable for key pad models. The joystick function makes it possible to use the arrow keys as function keys. Double-click on System Signals under the Setup folder in the Project Manager, and type the command AK and an address on the command line, for example, AKM10 (command AK and memory cell M10). Memory cell M10 is the enable signal, and the following four memory cells have functions according to the following control blocks.
Function Keys 21.4 Extended Function Keyboard The extended function keyboard X-Key 16 can be used to provide an E1000 operator panel with 16 extended function keys and LEDs. Not available for E1012 and E1022. A maximum of four extended keyboards can be connected to one operator panel.
