1.1

Installation
The Programming Tool

The programming tool is a program package used to develop projects for operator terminals in the Control Panel-series. The functions in the programming tool depend on which operator terminal is used. In the programming tool a project is created with graphic blocks and text blocks, which are then transferred to the operator terminal. The programming is described in the chapter Programming with the Programming Tool. Help texts are available for all functions. The help text for the current function is obtained by pressing the F1 key. By pressing the help button in the toolbox and then clicking on a function, information is shown on the function.

System Requirements
To use the programming tool, a PC with at least 100 MB of available memory and Microsoft Windows 2000/XP is required. The programming tool can be used on either a color or monochrome screen. Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later must be installed on the computer.

Installing the Programming Tool

The programming tool is supplied on a CD. When you place the CD in your CDROM drive the installation will start automatically. If not, select Run on the Start menu and enter D:\setup.exe (if D: is the CD-ROM drive). Select to install the programming tool by clicking the name and following the instructions. The installation creates an icon for the programming tool in the CP500 soft group. You can find the programming tool by clicking Start and selecting Programs/ CP500 soft/CP Programmer/Programmer. The manual can be read directly from the CD by clicking Manuals.

To connect the controller to the operator terminal, use the cable recommended in the driver manual for the selected controller.
Note: The power must be switched off when connecting.

1.3

Downloading the System Program

Not applicable for CP501. In the operator terminal there is a system program (operative system), which is stored in the operator terminals memory on delivery. The system program can be exchanged, e.g. to update to newer versions. Transferring the system program to the operator terminal requires the following: PC Transfer cable between the PC and the operator terminal. The PC program System Loader (available as an icon in the program group CP Tools). See the manual for CP Tools to install the program group. File with new system program (*.bin).
Note: All communication between the PC and the operator terminal CP501 is conducted through the programming tool. The system program is transferred at the same time as the driver. See the chapter Project Transfer. The PC programs in the program group CP Tools cannot be used together with CP501. The cable CAB6 cannot be used to transfer projects to CP501. The adapter 232-25-ADP must be used on the RS422 port to perform a transfer with a CAB5 cable. The adapter is supplied with CP501.

General

General

This chapter describes the structure of an application project in the operator terminal. There is also an explanation of the general principles, object parameters, and joint functions applicable in the operator terminal.

2.1

Method for Creating a Project

The graphical structure of the application in the operator terminal constitutes a wellarranged monitoring tool for the operator. It is important to organize the application well and to consider which functions are necessary. Start with the overall view, and then work down to the detailed level. The application is built up of blocks, graphic blocks and/or text blocks. Values from the controller are shown and changed in the blocks. Each function becomes one or more blocks, depending on how complex the function is. A project can contain both graphic and text blocks, and each block can contain static and dynamic objects. The blocks should be arranged in hierarchies to achieve a structured application, and to simplify work procedures for the machine operator. The application can also be organized as sequence controls. It is possible to test the complete application, or parts of it, before it is downloaded to the operator terminal.

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 terminal 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. The functions Alarms, Time channels, System Monitor, E-mail and Contrast Properties can also be invoked as blocks. These are designated system blocks. Text blocks are used for report printouts and e-mail, and cannot be displayed to the operator. The maximum number of blocks in a project in CP501 is 50, and in CP502 and CP503 it is 150. In the other terminals a maximum of 990 blocks can be defined.
Note: The block type cannot be changed for a defined block.

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 Signed 16-bit Unsigned 16-bit Signed 32-bit Unsigned 32-bit Float with exponent, 32-bit Float without exponent, 32-bit BCD Float BCD 16-bit BCD 32-bit HEX 16-bit HEX 32-bit Seconds 16-bit -32,768 +32,767 0 +65,535 -2147483648 +2147483647 0 +4294967295 3.4E38 Numbers larger than 1,000,000 are shown with exponent. Parameters Positions (including decimal point and characters) and Decimals indicate the available area. E.g. 8 positions and 3 decimals result in 999.999. 0 9999,9999. 0 9999 0 99999999 0 FFFF 0 FFFF FFFF The object Analog numeric can present the time format. Syntax: <hours:minutes:seconds>. Example: The register value in D0=3661, the object Analog numeric linked to D0 and defined as Seconds 16-bit will then show <1:01:01>. Not applicable for CP501, CP502 and CP503. The object Analog numeric can present the time format. Syntax: <hours:minutes:seconds>. Not applicable for CP501, CP502 and CP503. Character string which can be used in the dynamic function for graphic objects in CP511-CP555. Example: In the object Static symbol, Digital symbol and Multiple symbol, the dynamic property Symbol can be linked to a register with the format String. Table format which can be used for an Event in the dynamic function for graphic objects in CP511-CP555. Example: A group of registers is to be allocated different values when Value entered is equal to 99. The first value in the field Value will then be entered to register D21 in the field Signal. If the field Value appears as follows, <1,2,3,4> the value 2 will be entered in next subsequent register (D22), etc. Area

Efficient Communication

To make the communication between the operator terminal 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. Besides the signals to objects in the current block, the operator terminal reads the following signals from the controller continuously: Display signals (Block Properties) Print signals (Block Properties) LED registers Alarm signals Remote acknowledge signals on alarms and alarm groups Login signal (Passwords) Logout signal (Passwords) Registers for trend curves Bar graph registers if using min/max indicators New display register Buzzer register Backlight signal Cursor control block Recipe control block Library index register Index Registers Controller clock register if the controller clock is used in the operator terminal List erase signal (Alarm Properties) No protocol control register No protocol on signal Signals Not Affecting the Communication Time The following signals do not affect the communication time: Signals linked to function keys Time channels Objects in the alarm messages

2-4

ABB, 1SBC159002M0202

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. Efficient Block Changes Block changes are carried out most rapidly and efficiently through the block jump function on the function keys or through a jump object. Display signals in block properties should only be used when the controller is to force the presentation of another block. The New display register can also be used if the controller is to change the block. This does not affect communication as much as a larger number of Display signals. Use the Clock in the Operator Terminal An extra load is put on communication if the clock in the controller system is used, since the clock register must be read up to the operator terminal. Downloading of the clock to the controller also creates an extra load. The interval between downloads should therefore be as long as possible. Packaging of Signals When signals are to be transferred between the operator terminal and controller, they are not all transferred at the same time. They are divided into packages, each containing a number of signals, instead. The number of signals in each package depends on which driver is used. To make communication as fast as possible the number of packages has to be minimized. Consecutive signals require a minimum number of packages, but it is perhaps not always possible to program it this way. In such cases there is a waste between two signals. This gap in the maximum distance between two signals which can still be kept in the same package. The size of the gap depends on which driver is used.

General

Operator images
Using graphic blocks for operator communication Text blocks are mainly intended to be used for report printouts. They are slower and take up more memory than graphic blocks. Using 3D effect for elegant operator images Combinations of objects with frames and 3D rectangles can be effective. In this context the light appears to come from the top left-hand corner, i.e. there is shadowing on the bottom and right-hand edges on raised objects and on the upper and left-hand edges on inset objects.

2.5

Location of the Operator Terminal

The operator terminal should be located at the workplace to ensure maximum visability. This will enable the operator to receive information directly and to respond quickly and efficiently. The operator terminal should be positioned at the correct working height so that the operator can easily see and maneuver the operator terminal. Screen visibility is influenced by distance, height, angle, sunlight and the selection of color. Operational monitoring, maneuvering and maintenance can also be performed remotely from another location in the building or from another site, for example. Communications can then be, for example, via the internal network, the Internet or modem. If the production line is long with many workplaces, several operator terminals can be connected to one or more control systems in the network.

2.6

Compact Solutions

External units such as barcode scanners, weighing machines, and modems, can be connected through the operator terminal to the controller. All that is required is for the unit to be connected to an RS232 interface, and that communication is made through ASCII protocol. Data entering the operator terminal is written directly to the controller register. A unit working in parallel may also be connected. It can be an additional operator terminal or a personal computer with the programming tool for the control system. Via the operator terminal, the control system can be programmed at the same time as the operator terminal is communicating with the control system. When two remote systems are to connected to one and the same operator terminal (dual drivers are used in the operator terminal), it is possible to exchange data (analog and digital signals) between the control systems. For information on installation, please see the installation manual that was supplied with the operator terminal.

Operator Terminal Functions

This chapter describes the different modes in the operator terminal, the keyboard and the information page in the operator terminal. For a description of the different key sequences, see the chapter Key Sequences.

3.1

The Operation Modes, RUN, PROG and SETUP

The operator terminal has three operation modes. CP501 only has run mode and transfer mode. CP551, CP552, CP554 and CP555 do not have the programming mode PROG. The configuration mode, Setup, where the basic settings are made, e.g. selection of controller, menu language and printer settings. Programming mode, Prog, where the operator terminal can be programmed and where changes can easily be made during system set-up. Run-time mode, Run, where the application is run.

Switching Between Modes

Switch Between PROG and RUN Switch between programming, PROG, and run-time, RUN, by pressing the keys [] and [MAIN] simultaneously. The possibility of switching between PROG and RUN from the operator terminal can be controlled with a password. For further information, refer to the chapter Programming with the Programming Tool. Switch Between PROG and SETUP To switch between programming, PROG and configuration, SETUP, press [LEAVE] until the start-up menu is shown and then press any key. Press [LEAVE] to return to PROG. Switch Between RUN and SETUP Press [ ] and [MAIN] simultaneously to enter programming mode, PROG. You can now press any key when the start-up menu is shown to enter the configuration mode, SETUP. To return to run mode, RUN, press [ ] and [MAIN]. In CP551, CP552, CP554 and CP555 you set the switch on the side/back of the operator terminal in position 4 to access the configuration mode Setup. For normal mode the switch should be in position 0. See the chapter Key Sequences and Switch on CP551, CP552, CP554 and CP555.

Applicable for CP511, CP512, CP552, and CP513: The contrast settings are made in the programming mode under Setup/Contrast setting or in run mode through a jump to system block 997. By pressing on the function key + the display becomes brighter, and by pressing on - it becomes darker. Return to the previous level by pressing EXIT. CP554 has no contrast setting. Applicable for CP555: Color intensity on the display (background light) can be controlled through a data register and a command, DIM, specified on the command line under Setup/System signals in the programming tool. See the section The Setup Menu in chapter Programming with the Programming Tool.
Note: Contrast is affected by ambient temperature. If the operator terminal is programmed in a room where the temperature deviates significantly from the location where the operator terminal will be placed, any contrast settings should be made after 15-30 minutes in the actual ambient temperature.

Edit

The application is built up in the programming tool. Certain modifications can, however, be made when the operator terminal is in the programming mode by choosing Edit. The help line in the operator terminal shows what can be done using the function keys. Transfer The project is normally transferred to the operator terminal form the programming tool. By using the function Automatic terminal RUN/TRANSFER switching in the programming tool, the program automatically sets the operator terminal in transfer mode. When the operator terminal is in programming mode, it can be manually set to the transfer mode by choosing Transfer.

Run Mode, RUN

Run mode is the mode where the application is run. Block 0 will automatically be shown on the display when transferring to run mode. The built-in keyboard in the operator terminal is used to mark and change values in run mode. If a communication error occurs between the operator terminal and the controller an error message will be shown on the display. The operator terminal starts automatically when the communication is resumed. If you have pressed a key sequence which affects I/O when a communication error occurs it will be stored in the operator terminal buffer, and will be transferred to the controller when communication functions again. To obtain a watch-dog function where the controller can detect if a communication error has occurred, the operator terminal clock can be continuously transferred to a register in the controller (see the section Date/Time Format in chapter Programming with the programming tool). The controller checks if the register is updated, and if not an alarm indicating a communication error is activated in the controller. The descriptions of objects/functions also include how the different objects/functions function in run mode.

Alphanumeric Keys
From the alphanumeric keyboard the following characters can be entered in dynamic text and numerical objects during run mode in the operator terminal. 0-9 A-Z a-z !?<>()+/*=%#:@ National characters
Note: No characters can be entered from the keyboard on CP501 because it does not have alphanumeric keys.

Numeric values are entered by pressing the respective key once. A to Z are entered by pressing the respective keys two to five times, and the lower case letters a to z are entered by pressing the respective keys 6 to 9 times. The delay time interval between pressing can be set (see the section Terminal Options in the chapter Programming with the programming tool). If the key is not pressed within the delay time interval the cursor moves to the next position. National characters are entered by pressing the keys C1-C4 two to nine times. This enables non-standard characters on the alphanumeric keyboard to be available in the operator terminal. (See the section Country/Language in the chapter Programming with the programming tool).

Not applicable for CP501, CP502 and CP503. This chapter presents the graphic objects in tabular form and then describes each object separately. It is only valid for operator terminals supporting graphics.

5.1
Colors

General Parameters

In operator terminals supporting colors there are 256 colors available for object and bit map images. Colors allow more realistic objects with 3D effects and shadowing to be created. Apart from background and foreground colors for the blocks, it is also possible to select colors for scales and curves in the graphic objects. When configuring the operator terminal you select the colors for the background, text and windows. Colors can be defined for the axes and curves in graphic objects.

The General Tab

The properties under the General tab vary for the different objects, and are described for each object.

All dynamic objects can be connected to a digital or analog signal. Engineering units scaling The parameters Offset and Gain are used to change the scale of the controller value to a value shown in accordance with the following equation. Panel value = Offset+Gain*Controller value When the value for an object is changed from the operator terminal, the scale is changed to the value shown in accordance with the following equation: Controller value = (Panel value-Offset)/Gain Scaling does not affect the defined maximum and minimum values, or the number of decimal places.
Note: The functions Increment and Decrement affect the Controller value for the maneuverable object, and not the Panel value.

Trends

Calculation of Trend Size

It is possible to calculate how much space trend data will take up in the project memory with the following equation. S = TOS + AK (28 + (645 * ((AS / 100) + 1))) TOS = TrendObjectSize; if all parameters for a trend object are changed, TOS = 320 bytes. AK = Number of defined curves in the trend object. AS = Number of Samples rounded-off to the nearest hundred. S = Number of bytes. The data types signed and unsigned 32-bit are supported in trend objects, but trend curves in 32-bit format take up more memory than curves in 16-bit format.
Note: The operator terminals RAM can limit the number of trends in a project. This limitation depends on other objects and functions used in the project.

Presentation in Run Mode

Trend curves can show historic data in run mode. Mark the appropriate trend object and press [ENTER]. A dialog box will now be shown, where the time interval and date for the data to be presented can be selected. At the bottom of the box, History is shown.

The following diagram shows an example of how it can appear in Excel.

7.6

Backup of Trend Data

Not applicable for CP511. It is possible to copy trend data files from the ordinary project memory in the operator terminal to a PCMCIA memory card if the expansion card IFC MC is fitted in the operator terminal. The memory card in the operator terminal must be formatted as a backup card. For further information on how this is done, refer to the manual for the expansion card IFC MC. Thereafter you can access the memory card in the operator terminal through FTP, or take the memory card to an arbitrary operator terminal with the expansion card IFC MC installed, and through FTP transfer upload trend data from the memory card to a PC for further processing. Trend files which have been backed-up can be found in the catalog (library) backup in the operator terminals catalog structure. To read/write trend data files from/to the operator terminal to the PC there must be a FTP client program installed on the PC, e.g. CP Tools FTP Transfer program.
ABB, 1SBC159002M0202 7-9

Trends Backup of trend files from the operator terminals project memory to the backup PCMCIA card placed in the expansion card IFC MC in the operator terminal is done with the help of the command TBUP and a memory cell entered on the command line in the programming tool. Double-click on System Signals under the Setup folder in the Project Manager..

Enter the command TBUP followed by a memory cell, e.g. M10. The memory cell can now be connected to a function or touch key. When the memory cell is activated from the key, all trend files from the operator terminals project memory will be backed-up on the memory card. When the backup is ready the operator terminal will reset the memory cell specified on the command line.
Note: No sampling is made to trends in the process of being backed-up. Even if all trends are backed-up, a trend is only locked during the time it is being backed-up.

Note: There is only one version of each trend on the memory card. If a trend which already exists on the memory card is backed-up, the old trend will be deleted and replaced by the new trend.

Note: The PCMCIA memory card in the operator terminals expansion card IFC MC must be formatted as a backup card.

Alarm Management

Not applicable for CP501 and CP502. This chapter describes the alarm handling function that is used to call the operators attention to events in the process requiring immediate action. The alarm handling is divided into alarm groups, alarm messages, and an alarm list. Alarms can be divided into groups to create an order of priority. An alarm message determines which signal is to activate an alarm, and which text to be shown when the signal is activated. The alarm list contains alarms activated during run mode.

This makes it possible to display a help page to the operator with, for example, information about the alarm and requisite procedures. If the field is left empty this means that no block is linked to the alarm. See the section Alarms in Run Mode and SMTP client. Alarms can be sent as e-mail messages to pre-defined recipients. The alarm text will then be the subject of the message. See the sections Alarm Properties and SMTP Client. Indicates whether the alarm is to be acknowledged or not. Checking the box means that the alarm must be acknowledged, leaving it unchecked means that the alarm functions as an event alarm, e.g. information. When the alarm is to be removed from the alarm list. Checking the box means that the alarm will remain in the list until the list is full. Leaving it unchecked means that the alarm will be removed from the list when it is acknowledged and no longer active. If the box Ack. required is not checked, the alarm will be removed from the list as soon as it is no longer active. Checking the box prints the alarm message directly on the printer if the alarm status changes. If the box is checked, a counter for the alarm in the alarm list will be shown, that counts the number of times the alarm has been generated. The alarm must be acknowledged for it to be presented as a new alarm message in the alarm list.

Alarm Properties

Right-click on the Alarms folder in the Project Manager and select Properties to make general settings alarms and alarm lists. Alarms take up a different amount of space in the alarm list, depending on the length of the alarm text and the number of objects included. The space an alarm takes up can be calculated with the following formula: S = 42 + NC S = Number of bytes NC = Number of characters in the alarm text

The alarm list is re-written when it is full. 25% is deleted, so that only 75% remains. Example: An alarm text of 38 characters, where each alarm takes up 80 bytes in the alarm list, resulting in 1024 (list size =1 kbytes)/80 Max. 12 alarms in the alarm list. When the 13th alarm is generated the alarm list will be re-written and only the last 9 alarms will remain in the list.
Parameter Active signal Unacknowledged signal Description The digital signal the operator terminal sets to one when there is an active alarm. The digital signal the operator terminal sets to one when there is an unacknowledged alarm.

Alarms in Run Mode

In text blocks, alarms are indicated by showing the text ALARM in the upperright corner of the display. In graphic blocks a bell flashes in the upper-right corner of the display when an alarm is activated. Indication can be deselected in Configuration mode or under Setup/Alarm Properties in the programming tool. Alarms are presented in an alarm list with predefined alarm texts. The alarm list contains the latest alarms and is arranged in alarm group order according to definition, so that the latest alarms are shown at the top of the list. The list can also be sorted descending. See section Alarm Banner for further information. The size of the alarm list in the number of kbytes (number of alarms in CP503) is determined in configuration mode or under Setup/Alarm Properties in the programming tool. If there is a jump to an alarm block (system block no. 990), the alarm list will be shown. The number of times the alarm has been generated (if selected), the status of the alarm, the time it was activated, became inactive or was acknowledged, is shown for every alarm, depending on the chosen display format. The counter for the alarm in the alarm list is displayed according to the following table if the box Repeat count is checked for the alarm in the Alarm input dialog.
Display format (12) Explanation Means that the alarm has been generated 12 times. The alarm must be acknowledged for it to be presented as a new alarm message in the alarm list.

Not applicable for CP501. 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 run mode. 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. The user can create recipe libraries consisting of files containing different sets of parameters. This function improves the efficiency of time-critical productions where the exhange of similar products must be done quickly, such as in the manufacturing of units in different colors. Recipe files can be created from the operator terminal, the controller, or from a PC with the program CP Tools. Recipe files are stored in the operator terminal. To use recipe handling the functions for storing, loading, deleting and adding recipes must be linked to the function or touch keys. See the chapter Function Keys for information. Recipe files can be sent as attachments from the operator terminals which have e-mail functions. The figure below illustrates the principle of the recipe handling function.
The PC is used to program the terminal. With the program File Transfer (in CP Tools) the PC can be used to backup recipes, or to create new recipes. The recipe block can collect values from the controller, which through the terminal are stored as a recipe.

10.1 Calculation of Recipe Size

To calculate how much space a recipe will require in the project memory, the following equation is used. (The equation is not exact in view of the file systems complexity in the operator terminal.) S = 90 + (2 IOGi + 28) S = number of bytes. If S is calculated to be less than 360, then S is set to 360. = 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.

Example The recipe consists of 3 I/O series: D0-D109 (110), D200-D499 (300) and M0-M99 (100). The calculation is made in two steps: 1. Calculate the subtotals of the different series: 1104 = (2 * 110 + 28) + (2 * 300 + 28) + (2 * 100 + 28) 2. Then calculate the total: S = 90+ 1104 S = 1194 bytes

Recipes

Recipe Directories
Recipes created in the operator terminal can be saved in different recipe directories (folders) in the operator terminals memory, or on a memory card if the expansion card IFC MC is used in the operator terminal. The use of recipe directories ensures a better structure and more simple handling of recipes in applications with a large number of recipes. It is possible to create 32 different recipe directories (8 for CP502 and CP503) in one level. Recipe directories are saved under the directory RECIPE in the root directory in the operator terminals memory. A recipe directory is linked to one or more blocks in the block header for the block. All recipes created in the block will then be saved in the selected recipe directory. Recipe directories are created, edited and deleted by double-clicking on Recipe in the Project Manager. Defined recipe directories are shown in a list, according to the structure in the directory. Add new recipe directories with the button Add directory. Recipe directories must be named with a name having 1-8 characters. The first character must be a letter or digit, and the name must contain the characters A-Z, 0-9 and _. Otherwise, the standard for file names in MS-DOS is followed. Change a recipe directory by selecting it and clicking Edit. Click Delete to delete the selected recipe directories. Recipe Directories in Run Mode In run mode recipe directories can be created and deleted with the functions Make recipe directory and Delete recipe directory. The functions are linked to function keys or touch keys. With the function Change recipe directory for function keys or touch keys it is possible in run mode to change/select recipe directories for the current block. A list of options for available recipe directories is shown when the function key or touch key for Change recipe directory is pressed. Select one and press [ENTER]. The recipe in the block will now be saved in the selected recipe directory. See the section Function Keys.
Note: Recipe directories created in the programming tool cannot be deleted with a function key or touch key linked to the function Delete recipe directory. Recipe directories created in the operator terminal do not accompany the operator terminal project when a project is uploaded from the operator terminal to the programming tool (via the function Receive in the dialog box Project transfer).

Recipe handling between operator terminal and PC is performed with the program CP Tools File Transfer and CP Tools FTP Transfer. See the section Using Recipes in a PC and the manual for CP Tools.

10.3 Creating a Recipe with the Operator Terminal

When the application is programmed you determine which block or blocks are to be used to save recipes, or alternatively the function Append recipe is used in run mode. All the signals to be included in the recipe are defined in the recipe block. All the dynamic values in the block are stored in the recipe file. All digital and analog objects, with the exception of trend objects, can be used as recipe parameters. In run mode a jump is made to the block containing the recipe parameters. Enter the required values in the dynamic objects and press the function or touch key linked to Save recipe. The name must have 1-8 characters. The first character must be a letter or digit, and the name must contain the characters A-Z, 0-9 and _. Otherwise, the standard for file names in MS-DOS is followed. Recipe files are stored in the operator terminal, either in the recipe directory specified for the block or in one and the same recipe directory if no separate recipe directories have been created by double-clicking on Recipe in the Project Manager.

Recipes

10.4 Appending Recipes

The function Append recipe can be linked to function and touch keys and makes it possible in run mode to add signals and their values from the current block to an existing recipe. This entails that the operator can save signals and their values from several different blocks in a joint recipe. New signals are added to a recipe, and signals already existing in the recipe will be updated when the function is activated. The name of the recipe to which the current blocks signals and their values are to be added is specified when the function or touch key for Append recipe is pressed. If the function is activated and there are no recipes saved in the operator terminal, a new recipe will be created in the operator terminal. Similarly, a new recipe will be created if the same recipe directory for the block is not given. To add signals from another block to a recipe the same, or no recipe directory, must therefore be given for both blocks.
Note: If a string is added to an existing recipe with strings the strings must be separated by address space. Otherwise the previous near string will be increased.

10.5 Transferring Recipes to the Controller

In run mode recipes are transferred to the controller with the function Load recipe. This function means that the signals and their values stored in the file are transferred to the controller. A list of options for available recipe directories is shown when the function or touch key for Load recipe is pressed. Select one, and press [ENTER]. The controller will then run with the downloaded values.

10.6 Deleting Recipes

In run mode the selected recipe can be deleted from the operator terminal memory with the function Delete recipe. Press the function or touch key linked to Delete recipe. A list of options will now be shown with the available recipe files. Select the file to be deleted, and press [ENTER]. Confirm with [ENTER] or press [PREV] to abort.

10.7 Using Recipes in a PC

With the program CP Tools File Transfer (icon in the program group CP Tools) in the PC, the operator terminal will be treated as a unit in the PC. This means that the PC can be used to make backup copies of files in the operator terminal, e.g. recipe files. New recipes can be created in the PC and transferred to the operator terminal. Recipe files are stored in the PC in skv format, and can be brought up in Excel. The files can be edited in Excel and then used in the plant again. The files must end with the instruction END. See the example below. M100 M102 D0 D50 END ;1 ;0 ;25 ;12

It is also possible to transfer recipe files between the operator terminal and the PC through FTP with the program CP Tools FTP Transfer (standard FTP client). For further information, refer to the manual for CP Tools.

Note: When Unicode is used, there are limitations pertaining to recipe files in .skv format. See the chapter Unicode for additional information

Passwords

12 Passwords
Not applicable for CP501. This chapter describes the handling of security levels and passwords in the operator terminal. It is a function which makes it possible to create a security system for the plant. The operators can easily be assigned different authorizations in the plant. Blocks, function/touch keys and maneuverable objects can be allocated a security level. Each security level is allocated a password. To access the different levels the user must login with password for the relevant security level, or higher. It is not necessary to use this function.

12.1 Defining Security Levels

Blocks, function/touch keys and maneuverable objects can, when they are defined, be allocated a security level. A security level (0-8) is specified in the dialog for the object under the Maneuvering tab after checking Enable operator input. If security level 0 is specified, the object will be available to everyone, i.e. login will not be requested.

Passwords

12.5 Overriding Password

Commands can be entered on the command line by double-clicking on System Signals in the Setup folder in the Project Manager. By entering the command PSxxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxx represents the password, this password can be used to override all other password levels, and the user gains access to everything in the operator terminal. This can be useful, for example, when performing support and maintenance. Only capital letters can be used on the command line.
Note: The PS password does not override the PD password.

12.6 Changing Password during Run Mode

The password can be changed during run mode with the function Change login password for function or touch keys. When a function or touch key linked to Change login password is pressed, a dialog box is shown, where the password for security levels below or at the same level as the in-logged person can be changed. See the chapter Function Keys for further information.
Note: It is not possible to select a security level on block 0.

Printouts Examples of printer: Serial printer Parallel printer Panasonic KX-P1092 HP Laserjet 6L HP Laserjet 1100

13.2 Text Block Reports

Reports are created as text blocks with static and dynamic text. Dynamic objects has to be defined to print values from the process. The width of the reports is a maximum of 150 characters. When to print reports can be determined through time channels, for example. See the chapter Text-based Presentation and Maneuvering and Time Channels for further information.
Note: Text blocks cannot be printed if Unicode is used.

13.3 Graphic Block Printouts

In CP511, CP551, CP512, CP552, CP554, CP513 and CP555 it is possible to print graphic blocks on an Epson FX-80 compatible printer. In CP552, CP554, CP513 and CP555 graphic blocks can also be printed on an HP PCL5/PCL5C/PCL6 compatible printer (through IFC PI). Graphic blocks can only be printed when they are displayed on the screen (screen dump). Only black and white graphics are supported. If the command NHD is stated on the command line by double-clicking on System Signals in the Setup folder in the Project Manager, graphic blocks will be printed on a laser printer without header (which normally includes block name, block number, date and time).
Note: Epson FX-80 graphics do not support grey scales. Note: For graphic block printouts the printers internal memory should be at least 5 MB. Note: The alarm block, i.e. the graphic block which contains the alarm list is printed out as a text printout. Note: If the [PREV] key on the operator terminal is pressed when a graphic block is being printed, the printout will be cancelled.

Language Management

15 Language Management
Does not apply to CP501. The programming tool supports several language applications for the CP-series operator terminals. We advise that the entire application be created in one language in the programming tool. Using the multiple language support function, you can l ater easily translate all texts in the application to other languages. Translation can be performed directly in the programming tool or the text can exported as a text file and translated in other software. The translated file is later imported back into the programming tool. A maximum of 10 languages can be created for an application. Each text in the application can be allocated an arbitrary index. To optimize the function and reduce the total number of texts, a text can be used several times in the application, copied and reused. These texts are linked to the same index. The application language contains user texts and is linked to a system language that contains system texts. User texts are those texts that are entered when the project is programmed and system texts are those texts that already exist when a new project is created as well as texts that already exist in the operator terminals system program.

15.1 Creating Additional Application Languages

Double-click on Multiple Languages in the Setup folder in the Project Manager. Right-click on User Language and select New language. This starts the Multiple Languages wizard, a self-descriptive sequence of dialog boxes for creating additional application languages. Follow the instructions in the respective dialog boxes and select or type the desired parameter values or name(s).

User-defined System Languages

To create a user-defined system language, choose User-defined, choose the language that would like to copy from and click Get. The Language Transfer dialog box opens. Click Receive to retrieve the built-in system language from the operator terminal. System texts are now accessible for editing under Setup/Multiple Languages/ Edit. You can also choose to export the texts as a text file and edit them in another program. All system texts in the operator terminal (passwords, time channels, etc.) support the multiple language application. You can use the predefined system languages or create your own (new). All types of characters that exist in the character set can be used in the application language. A text string is linked to several different objects. The maximum number of text strings for each language depends on available project memory in the operator terminal. The following spaces are available for each language: CP502 and CP503 = 16 KB/language CP511, CP512, CP551, CP552 and CP554 = 64 KB/language CP513 and CP555 = 128 KB/language At the bottom left of the Application Language dialog box, information is displayed on memory size for selected languages (language file). The information is displayed in the format X/Y. X is the utilized memory and Y is the available memory for each language (for example, 7/128).

15.4 Export
You can choose to export a language to Excel, for example, translate it there, and then import it back to the programming tool. Choose Setup/Multiple Languages/Export. Choose User texts (or System texts). In the displayed dialog box, specify the name of the file to be exported and indicate if it is to be an ANSI, OEM or Unicode text file. ANSI/OEM entails that languages created in the ANSI/OEM format will be exported, and Unicode entails that all languages will be exported to a file in the Unicode format. Editing a Unicode-format file in another application requires that a Unicode font be selected in that application.

15.5 Import
Choose Setup/Multiple Languages/Import. Choose User texts (or System texts). The Import Multiple Language Texts dialog box is displayed. Choose the name of the text file that you would like to import. If the existing language in the project is in ANSI/OEM format and a language in Unicode format is imported, the imported language will be converted to ANSI/OEM. This means that all characters not included in the ANSI/OEM range will be displayed as question marks.

Unicode

16 Unicode
16.1 Introduction
Unicode is a global standard for character encoding where 16-bit values are used to represent the characters from many of the worlds languages. Previous standards for character encoding, such as the Microsoft Windows ANSI character set, use 8-bit character values or combinations of 8-bit values to represent the characters used in a certain language or geographical region. In Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP, IMEs (Input Method Editors) are used to permit the computer user to write in complex characters and symbols, such as those used Chinese, with a standard keyboard. The character sets installed in the computer are used. IMEs for various languages are added under Control Panel/Keyboard/Input language. When new character sets are installed, all necessary characters are added to the system.

16.2 Unicode in the Programming Tool

Unicode is supported in the operator terminals CP511 - CP555 with the most recent version of the system program (firmware). The Unicode characters can be used in projects and/or system texts. Unicode has built-in support in Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The programming tool uses a Unicode character set to display Unicode characters in the computers dialog boxes. Only those Unicode characters that are used in the project will be downloaded to the operator terminal during the project transfer.

16.3 Terminal Font

A character set is used in the operator terminal to display Unicode characters.The character set in the operator terminal contains approximately 35,000 characters but is not complete according to the Unicode standard. When a project is transferred to the operator terminal, only the characters that are used in the operator terminal are downloaded. If a character that is not available is used, it is replaced by a black square, both in the programming tool and the operator terminal. The project test that can be performed when transferring the project checks that all used characters are present in the character set in the operator terminal.

ABB, 1SBC159002M0202

16-1

Unicode

Character Sizes for User and System Texts

Unicode characters are processed as bitmaps (point matrices). The predefined character size is 8 x 16 pixels but can be changed. Sometimes the character size 16 x 16 must be chosen for complicated characters, such as those used in Chinese, to avoid failure of certain pixels to be displayed and that characters be misinterpreted by the operator. If a large character size is chosen, menu windows may not always have space in small operator terminals.

16.4 Multiple Language Functions

Switching Between Display of Object Text and Index Number When the T/@ button is selected on the Language toolbar, the programming tool displays the index number (@number) in the object instead of the text. In the @ mode, new text (in ANSI/OEM, not Unicode) can be specified to link the object to a new index and release it from the other objects and the original index. By specifying @number, the object can be linked to new indexes. See the chapter Language Management for more information. Export and Import of Files in Unicode Format System and user texts can be exported and imported under Setup/Multiple Languages. An exported file in Unicode format can be edited in a text editor such as Notepad. Choose a Unicode font in the text editor. When a file is exported, the ANSI/OEM or Unicode format can be chosen. If ANSI/ OEM is chosen, only languages in ANSI/OEM format will be exported to a file in ANSI/OEM format. If Unicode is chosen, all languages will be exported to a file in Unicode format. When a file in ANSI/OEM format is imported, you can choose whether or not an existing language will be updated, or if there is none previously, to add one. When a file in Unicode format is imported, you can choose whether or not an existing language will be updated, or if there is none previously, to add one. If the existing language is in ANSI/OEM format, the imported language (in Unicode format) will be converted to ANSI/OEM form. Characters not supported by ANSI/OEM will be replaced by question marks.

16-2

ABB, 1SBC159002M0202

Unicode Memory Usage When Unicode is used, memory is allocated in accordance with the following formula: Languages size: Each string requires 22 + total characters in the string x 4 bytes. Character set size: The character set that is transferred requires the total number of unique characters x 34 bytes, which means, for example, that transfer of 1000 characters requires 34 KB. Memory usage for a Unicode language is the languages size + the character sets size. Performance The drawing of Unicode characters is somewhat slower than the drawing of ANSI/ OEM characters, which is primarily because Unicode characters have more pixels to be drawn. When the operator terminal is started, the Unicode character set is read into memory, which can take time if the character set is large.

16.5 Limitations when Unicode Is Used

Text Blocks Text blocks are not supported when Unicode is used. If a Unicode character set is chosen in an existing project, the dialog box below will be displayed.

Save Recipe and Alarm History CP Tools File Transfer and FTP client do not support Unicode characters. The skv file that can be used to edit recipes on a PC or for alarm history will, when Unicode is used, contain index numbers (@xxx) instead of texts. You can search in the project for corresponding text in the operator terminal. If texts are desired in the skv file, the operator terminal project has to be changed to a character set in ANSI/OEM format.

ABB, 1SBC159002M0202

16-3

Unicode E-mail In Unicode projects, automatic e-mail is not supported, and alarm notifications cannot be sent. Any list of e-mail recipients will be deleted when changing an existing project to Unicode. The operator will still be able to manually type and send e-mail through the system block 993. Dynamic Texts Texts can be controlled vial control system signals by choosing Dynamics/Properties for the selected object.

These texts will not be converted to Unicode; question marks will be displayed instead. The Time Channels Block The standard block Time channels, which can be configured in RUN mode, must use the preselected character size 8 x 16 in the CP511 and CP512 operator terminals. The input window will otherwise be too large for the screen and the block will not be configurable.

System Monitor

17 System Monitor
Only applicable for CP551, CP552, CP554, CP513 and CP555. The system monitor is a block where the operator can view or change the values for control signals in run mode. The values are presented as decimal, hexadecimal and ASCII values. The system monitor is always available in the operator terminals. To use the system monitor during run mode you create a block jump from another block to the system monitor block. The editing box is needed to add on control signals. This is shown when you press [ENTER] or alternatively point to the button NEW on the operator terminal when the system monitor is active.

Index Addressing

18 Index Addressing
Not applicable for CP501. 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. In general this can be formulated as: Display value=the content in Register(the Objects address+the content in the Index register) If the content in the index register is 2 and the address of the register specified in the object is 100, the value shown in the object will be collected from address 102. If the value in the index register is changed to 3, the value in the object will be collected from address 103 instead. Which register is to be used as the index register is defined in Index under the Setup folder in the Project Manager. Up to eight different index registers can be used in each project, and each index register can be used for more than one object. The objects used in the project will specify whether index registering is to be used, and if so, which index register. This is done by selecting in the dialog for the object I1 to I8 in the box to the right of the indicated address signal for the object. In the example below, D10 is the analog signal and I1 is the index register used.

In the following example, three motors are to be controlled from one block. The torque and speed for the three motors are stored in six different registers. One of the motors will be selected in one block, and then only the current torque and speed for this motor will be shown in the block. If another motor is selected, the current torque and speed will be shown for this motor instead. This is possible with index registering.

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. The value in register D0 is controlled with a Multiple choice object, where the texts Motor 1, Motor 2 and Motor 3 are shown. These three choices are also made maneuverable.

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 terminal. Depending on this choice, the values will be set to 1, 2 and 3 in register D0. The value in D0 is added to addresses for the objects which show the torque and speed. These can show the values in register D11, D12 or D13, and D21, D22 or D23.

19.1 Communication with Two Controllers (Dual Drivers)

It is possible to use two different drivers in the operator terminal, which means that the operator terminal can communicate with two different controllers simultaneously. The controllers can be connected in series to the serial ports on the operator terminal and through Ethernet to the expansion card IFC ETTP. Addressing of the signals in the controllers is carried out as normal for each respective controller in accordance with the manual for the driver. Double-click on the project in the Project Manager to display the Project Properties dialog.

Select Controller by clicking on Change for Controller 1 respective Controller 2. If the selected driver for Controller 1 does not support dual drivers you cannot select a driver for Controller 2. Click OK.

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 RS-232C, RS-422, RS-485 (CP502, CP503, CP551, CP552 and CP554), including expansion cards IFC PBDP and IFC ETTP. For further information on the connection of controllers to the operator terminal, refer to the manual for respective drivers.

Addressing
Addressing of the signals in the controllers is carried out as normal for each respective controller in accordance with the manual for the driver. The controller to which a created object is to be linked is selected by clicking the button corresponding to the required controller (1 or 2) in the tool field in the programming tool. Controller 1 is always pre-set when a project is created or opened.

If button 1 is pressed the signal is linked to an object created for Controller 1 and if button 2 is pressed the signal is linked to an object created for Controller 2. Clicking the I links the signal to the internal variables. See section Internal Variables for further information.

19-2

ABB, 1SBC159002M0202

Communication It is also possible to click on the I/O button in the object created and select which controller the object is to be connected to from the I/O Browser. To address a signal in controller 2 when controller 1 is preset, the signal must be given the addition @2 and correspondingly @1 for controller 1 if controller 2 is preset.
Example:

Controller 1 is preset. Register D0 in controller 2 is to be connected to a potentiometer. D0@2 is entered in the field Analog signal in the dialog for the potentiometer.

I/O Cross Reference The function I/O crossreference to show I/Os in a well-arranged manner can be used for both Controller 1 and Controller 2. The crossreference shows the preset controller. Name List The name list with attendant functions is supported for both Controller 1 and Controller 2.
Note: If communication with a controller is lost, the operator terminal will continue to communicate with the other system. The operator terminal will try to connect to the disconnected system every tenth second, which can affect communication with the operable controller. The interval can be changed by using a command. See the section Commands in the chapter Programming with the programming tool.

19.2 Data Exchange between Controllers

When two controllers are connected to one and the same operator terminal (dual drivers are used in the operator terminal) it is possible to exchange data (analog and digital signals) between the controllers. Likewise, two controllers can each be connected to a operator terminal and still exchange data when the operator terminals are connected in a BDTP network. For addressing, see the section BDTP. The signals do not have to be of the same type in the two controllers. The exchange of data takes place in a virtual data channel, which goes between controller 1 and 2. You can define eight different data channels. The transfer of data can take place at intervals or during events. The conditions for how the transfer is made and which interval of signals are to be transferred for each data channel are specified by double-clicking on Controller Data Exchange under the Peripherals folder in the Project Manager.

Parameter Area

Description Start I/O 1 and Start I/O 2 - Start address for the data channel for controller 1 and controller 2. (The subsequent fields are used to specify an index register and signal format.)

Parameter Size Description Specify the number of signals to be transferred (start address + subsequent) in the data channel. Maximum number of signals for a data channel is 255. Trigger signal - A digital signal which controls the data transfer from controller 1 to controller 2 for the data channel. The signal status has the following implications: 0 - Inactive. 1 - Transfer - The operator terminal resets the signal when the transfer is completed. Interval - Specifies the time in seconds between cyclical transfers of data channels. The interval parameter should be zero if it is not used. If the value is greater than 0 the parameter has a higher priority than the Trigger signal, and therefore a trigger signal cannot trigger transfers. The maximum number of seconds is 65,535.

19.4 Passthrough Mode

With the function Passthrough mode it becomes possible to set the operator terminal in a mode which enables communication between the programming tool for the connected controller on a PC and the controller to be established through the operator terminal. This is a joint function with the Transparent mode function and in similarity with Transparent mode only supports one controller. This means that Transparent or Passthrough mode can only be used on one of the operator terminals communication ports. When Passthrough mode is activated and the PC communicates with the controller through the operator terminal, communication between the operator terminal and connected controller will stop. This is the difference between Passthrough and Transparent mode. An operator terminal where communication in Passthrough mode is in progress becomes locked for the operator, and only shows an empty display with the text Passthrough.

20 Network Communication
Not applicable for CP501, CP502 and CP503. This chapter describes how operator terminals communicate in a network.The network communication takes place through TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol). TCP/IP is a standardized set of protocols which enable sharing with other systems and units. The operator terminals can be connected in a network in many different ways, through Ethernet or serially. The expansion card IFC ETTP must be used in all operator terminals if Ethernet is used. IFC ETTP is used to connect operator terminals with twisted pair cable. A HUB is required if twisted pair cable is used. Connections are made according to Ethernet standards. For further information on TCP/IP, we refer to the RFCs published on the Internet. You will find them at: http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/internet-documents/rfc. Information and explanations of concepts and expressions used can be found at the Internet address http://www.whatis.com. The operator terminal network is a client/server network. Only clients have access to data in the network. Servers only supply data to clients. An operator terminal can be both a client and server at the same time in order to both supply data and have access to data from other operator terminals. Up to 20 different clients can have access to data from the same server. A client can have access to data from up to 16 different servers. All operator terminals must be assigned an IP address. IP addresses from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.254.254 are recommended for internal networks. It is possible to use standardized Internet tools, such as web browser, e-mail server and FTP client, with the operator terminal. A web page can be created in the PC and downloaded to the terminal. The web page can contain real-time data from the con-troller or the terminal. Values can be changed, signals can be set, alarms can be acknowledged etc. through scripts, via Internet, using a web browser. The operator terminal can also send e-mail for special events such as alarm and status reports.

BDTP
BDTP is a protocol which uses client/server communication. A client asks for information and a server provides clients with information. The BDTP server listens to the I/O request from the BDTP client. The operator terminal can be client, server, or both. The client can collect data from a maximum of 16 servers. The server IP addresses are specified in the BDTP client. Each server can provide 20 clients with information. Network communication via BDTP is used to connect two or more operator terminals to one or two controllers or several operator terminals to two or more controllers, with retained performance. One example is production lines with one operator terminal at each work station. If the BDTP server fails, the client will continue to work with the system to which it is physically connected. The client will not restart when it tries to connect to the server. When the server becomes active, BDTP communication will continue as previously.

FTP (File Transport Protocol), a standard Internet protocol, is the easiest way of exchanging files between computers on the Internet. FTP is an application protocol which uses the Internets TCP/IP protocols. FTP is normally used to transfer web pages from their creators to the server where everybody on the Internet can access them. It is also suitable for downloading programs and other files from another server (operator terminal) to your own computer. When the operator terminal functions as an FTP server it is possible to upload/ download files to/from the operator terminal. To upload/download files it is necessary to have a FPT client program in the PC, e.g. CP Tools, Internet Explorer, Windows Commander or some other standard FTP program. Some libraries show files with a length of 0. This means that the file contains dynamic data, i.e. the size of the file changes. This also means that even if the length is 0 the file may not be empty. The operator terminal does not use the date on the files, which means that the time shown is not relevant. The operator terminal can save the content in all files, which can be reached through FTP with different types of delimiter characters (separators). The content in the files can be separated either with [TAB] or the characters ; or :. The settings for FTP delimiter characters are made under Setup/Terminal Options in the programming tool. The file name must not contain national characters. The operator terminals FTP server can handle a maximum of three connected clients at the same time.
Note: Files in the different directories use up the project memory. Information on the available project memory is included in the file info.txt in the root directory.

Network Functions in the Operator Terminal

Root Library
The root directory (current operator terminal name) contains the following directories, ALARMS, HTML, RECIPES and TRENDS. For CP555 there is also an IMAGES directory, see the section The IMAGES Directory. Only the directories the user (account) has access to are shown. There is also info.txt here containing information on the operator terminal. The file info.txt The file info.txt contains information on the operator terminal in accordance with the following example: CP513 Boot version: 4.07 Firmware version:V1.0 Build number: 320 Driver1: COMLI V3.00.4 Driver2: MODBUS Master V3.00.4 Dynamic memory: 304,237 bytes available Project memory: 184,700 bytes available IP address:192.168.98.1 Nothing can be deleted from the root directory, even if you have write access. If the directories HTML, RECIPE or IMAGES (CP555) are deleted, the contents in respective directories will be deleted but the directories will remain.

The ALARMS Directory

The directory is only shown if there is an alarm defined in the operator terminal and the operator terminal is in RUN mode. The alarm groups are shown as SKV files with 0 length. This does not need to mean that there are no alarms. The files can only be read. To read a file it must be opened with the attribute READ. READWRITE will cause an error. File Format Each alarm is stored on a line ending with [carriage return][linefeed]. Syntax for CP513 and larger operator terminals. The selected delimiter character here is the ; semicolon. status;activedate;activetime;inactivedate;inactivetime;ackdate;acktime;alarmtext All fields are always there. If the alarm is not acknowledged, the fields for date and time will be empty.

Network Functions in the Operator Terminal Syntax for other operator terminals: status;activedate;activetime;alarmtext The file ends with END [carriage return][line feed]

The HTML Directory

The data files handled by the web server are stored here. You can create subdirectories. The start file (the HTML page shown as the first web page in the web browser) must always be called index.htm. By default, the operator terminals diagnostic page is set as index.htm. 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.

The RECIPE Directory

The different recipes in recipe directories are shown as SKV files with 0 length, which does not mean that the recipe is empty. It is possible to both read and write files in this directory. File Format Each recipe value is stored on a line ending with [carriage return][linefeed]. The file contains the following information: device;value;datatype;length The file ends with END[carriage return][linefeed] If the data type is array (AR), one value will be shown on each line. The first line will be shown as above. The following lines will only contain ;value

The TRENDS Directory

The directory is only available if there are trends defined in the operator terminal and the operator terminal is in RUN mode. 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. File Format Each sampling is stored on a line ending with [carriage return][linefeed]. The file contains the following information: date;time;value1;value2;value3;value4;value5;value6;OFF The file ends with END[carriage return][linefeed] Only the number of curves in the trend are transferred, i.e. no empty fields.

ABB, 1SBC159002M0202

Network Functions in the Operator Terminal OFF is included in the sampling in the following cases, and indicates a pause in the sampling. When the operator terminal enters run mode, a copy of the last stored sampling is added. The copy is marked with OFF. As soon as valid values reach the operator terminal, new values are stored without OFF marking. When the Trend-enable signal is used, should the signal go low the sample is marked with OFF. When the signal goes high a new value is stored without OFF marking. When you transfer stored trend values through FTP or CPTools, a sample will be stored with OFF marking. When the transfer is ready a new sample is stored without OFF marking.

The IMAGES Directory

Only applicable for CP555. Images in the format bmp can be saved in the IMAGES directory. The bitmap images are presented in Static symbol objects in the operator terminal in RUN mode. 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 terminal will collect the specified bitmap file (name.bmp) from the directory IMAGES in the operator terminals file system. The bitmap image is presented on the operator terminals display in RUN mode. The image to be presented must be transferred to the directory through FTP. It will then be possible through FTP to add, replace, or remove dynamic bitmap images on the operator terminals display by writing over, entering or deleting bmp files in the IMAGES directory. The image for a dynamic bitmap image object is only shown in the operator terminal in RUN mode. The bitmap images in the IMAGES directory are not shown (available) in the programming tool..
Note: Define the same X and Y size for the bmp image in the directory as for the symbol object defined in the programming tool. It is not possible to read (collect) files from the IMAGES directory. When transferring a bmp file to the IMAGES directory, the transfer will stop for a short moment when the operator terminal converts the standard bmp format to the operator terminals own bmp format.

21.2 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. The operator terminals can function as a SMTP client, i.e. send e-mail. To use the SMTP client function it is necessary to have an e-mail server. You can use your Internet providers e-mail server. It is also possible to use a local e-mail server. See also the section Network services in the chapter Network Communication.

21.3 Terminal Mirroring the Terminal Applet

On the Internet, where the object-oriented language Java is used, an applet is a small program which can be downloaded and run in a web browser via a web page. Terminal applets can perform interactive animations, direct calculations or other simple tasks without having to send a user request back to the server. From a PC, it is possible to reflect the operator terminal in Microsoft Internet Explorer by the applet presenting an image of the operator terminal on the screen. The image is updated at regular intervals as requested. The terminal mirroring has the same function as the actual operator terminal. The operator terminal can be activated by clicking with the mouse on the buttons in the operator terminal image or with the keyboard. On an operator terminal with a touch screen, you click directly on the screen. Text strips for the operator terminal are not shown in the applet. The applet is compressed in a cab file. The first time the applet is used, it is downloaded and installed in the browser. This can either be done from the operator terminals file system or locally from the computers hard disk. The cab file shall not be decompressed manually; this is done in the browser. For the applet to be able to be installed and run from the operator terminal, the cab file must be transferred to the operator terminals HTML directory via FTP. A web page (htm file) that contains html code for loading and running the applet (see the following example) is also transferred to the operator terminals HTML directory. Moreover, the web server must be activated in the operator terminal. Connection to the web server in the operator terminal is accomplished by entering the operator terminals host name or IP address and the name of the web page in the web browser (for example, terminal1.domain.com/terminal1.htm or 192.168.98.75/terminal1.htm). When the web page has been downloaded, there should be a operator terminal symbol with the text Terminal Interaction. The Applet application starts when you click the symbol. At startup, the applet connects to the network service Terminal Controller (port number 6001 is preset). The port number can be configured in html code via an applet parameter. If login is defined for the function Terminal Controller, a login dialog box is displayed. User data that is entered is verified against the users defined under Setup/Network/ Accounts.

ABB, 1SBC159002M0202

21-7

Network Functions in the Operator Terminal If you choose to run locally, the cab file and the htm file can be placed together at an arbitrary location on the hard disk. The operator terminals host name (for example, terminal1.domain.com or 192.168.98.75, see applet parameter below) must then also be specified in html code. In this case, the cab file is loaded directly from the hard disk, and the web server is not used. In other respects, it is run in the same way as above, i.e. by loading the htm file. The cab file is thus loaded the first time only or when the applet needs to be reinstalled in the browser.

Signed Applet
Because the applet is signed with a software certificate, it can be installed in the browser. The first time the certificate is used (i.e. the first time a signed applet is downloaded) a security warning is displayed. In this warning, you are informed that the applet has been signed with a certificate. You must answer Yes to the security warning for the applet to be installed. You can also choose to always trust content signed with this certificate. If this is done, the certificate is added to the browser and the security warning will not be displayed in the future. In Internet Explorer under Tools/Internet Options/Temporary Internet Files/Settings/View Objects, you can view the applets installed in the browser. You can also view version information and when the applets were installed. Additionally, applets can be uninstalled here. Example <HTML> <APPLET code=COM.cp.hmi.terminalapplet.CP513.TERMAPPL width=117 height=101> <PARAM NAME=useslibrary VALUE=Terminal Applet CP513> <PARAM NAME=useslibrarycodebase VALUE=cp513appl.cab> <PARAM NAME=useslibraryversion VALUE=0,1,20,2> </APPLET> </HTML>

Feedback of Input and Wait Cursor

Feedback of input and the wait cursor is controlled by the applet parameters MouseInputFeedback and KeyboardInputFeedback. The parameters prevent queuing of mouse/keyboard input, i.e. they make sure that the applet is updated between each input. The original values are YES for MouseInputFeedback (mouse input is not queued) and NO for KeyboardInputFeedback (keyboard input is queued). Feedback of mouse input entails activation of the wait cursor. Deactivation of keyboard input enables more effective input from the keyboard. If the parameter is not set from the html page, the above behavior is attained. For increased security pertaining to keyboard input, KeyboardInputFeedback is set to YES. If you would prefer not to have a wait cursor, both values are set to NO, i.e. MouseInputFeedback set to NO. This entails that all input is queued and can come through without the applet being updated between inputs.
Note: If the parameter Background value is used, a value corresponding to an RGB color code must be entered. The field must not be left empty.

Note: It is not possible to set an object to one momentarily with the function Set digital object momentarily for function keys and arrow keys in operator terminal mirroring.

Activate Java Console

In Microsoft Internet Explorer, it can be useful to activate the Java console function when troubleshooting. Select Tools/Internet Options in Internet Explorer, click Advanced and select the box for Activate Java console. Restart the browser. Also check that the latest version of Microsoft Virtual Machine is installed on the PC. Download the latest version, if necessary, from the Microsoft web page www.microsoft.com (search for Virtual Machine).

21.4 Web Server

A web server (www server) is a program which, by using the client/server model and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), handles files building web pages for Internet users (who have computers which have HTTP clients). Each computer (operator terminal) on the Internet containing a web page must have a web server program. SSI Script A SSI (server-side include) is a variable value (e.g. a file) which a server can include in a HTML file before it is sent. If you create a web page you can add on a file in the HTML file as follows:
<!--#echo var=LAST_MODIFIED-->

The following SSI scripts are supported in order to be able to show certain values from the operator terminal in HTML pages.
Name get_ipaddr.fn Parameters None Explanation Shows the web servers IP address. Used in the CGI script. Shows the web servers domain name. Shows the date in the operator terminal. Example <!--#exec cgi=get_ipaddr.fn-->

Network Functions in the Operator Terminal

CGI Script CGI (Common Gateway Interface) is a standard method for a web server to handle data to and from the user. When the user requests a web page (by clicking on a link or entering the address in the web browser) the server sends back the required page. If you fill in a dialog on the web page and send it, it is normally received by an application program. The server sends a confirmation. The method of sending data between server and application is called CGI, and is part of the HTTP protocol.

Save HTML Files with FTP

To transfer and save HTML files to the operator terminal, a standard FTP client program must be used, e.g. CP Tools FTP client (See the section FTP Server). The files are saved in (transferred to) the HTML directory in the operator terminals file system. The name of the files should be in DOS 8.3 format, i.e. the name has max 8 characters and the extension is htm.
Note: The file INDEX.HTM must always be used (must be available in the operator terminal).

21.5 Recommendations and Limitations for Network Communication

To make the communication between operator terminals and controllers in a operator terminal 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 rules described there to optimize the network functionality in the operator terminals. The maximum number of signals that can be transferred in a operator terminal network is 3000.

Example 1
A operator terminal network consists of three clients and one server. Each client has access to 1000 signals, i.e. the server can handle (transfer to the different clients) 3000 signals. This is also the case even if the address areas for the signals in the clients correspond. Accordingly, it is not possible to transfer more signals in the operator terminal network.

Example 2
The servers task is to collect together the addresses the clients are asking for. Thereafter the server asks for the status in the controller, which is then distributed to respective clients. Example A operator terminal network (BDTP network) consists of 1 server and 5 clients. Each operator terminal contains 50 alarms with the same address. For the server this means that 50 addresses must be checked with the controller, but the server will then also distribute 50 alarms to the respective client (5X50). The server therefore has 250 alarms to distribute.

Transparent Mode via Ethernet

For the function Transparent mode (see the chapter Communication) to function with communication through Ethernet (the TCP/IP protocol) the following requirements must be fulfilled. The driver and its programming tool must support communication in Transparent mode. For information, refer to the manual for respective driver and controller. If the programming tool for the controller does not support project transfer through TCP/IP a PC program to convert the COM port to TCP/IP must be used in the PC to communicate with the controller in Transparent mode through the TCP/IP network.

Network Functions in the Operator Terminal

Passthrough Mode via Ethernet

With the program CP Tools Connect (an icon in the program group CP 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. If the programming tool for the controller does not support project transfer through TCP/IP, a PC program to convert the COM port to TCP/IP must be used in the PC which is to communicate with the controller in Transparent mode through the TCP/IP network. For further information refer to the section on Transparent and Passthrough mode, to the manual for CP Tools and to the manuals for the actual drivers.

No Protocol Mode
The function No protocol mode, when one or more operator terminals are used as communication interface (see the chapter Communication), is not recommended in a large operator terminal network (BDTP network). A large network refers to a BDTP network, where a large number of signals are transferred between server and clients. Control registers and control signals are transferred when the operator terminal is used as a communication interface, and these influence the communication time and adversely affect the performance of the network. See the Efficient communication.

Packaging of Signals
To make the communication between operator terminals and controllers, in for example a 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 rules described there to optimize the network functionality in the operator terminals. This applies to all stations in the operator terminal network. If the packing of signals is not used this may result in an increase in the updating times.

Network Functions in the Operator Terminal

Alarm Handling
The operator terminal 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 terminals and controllers in the network, which means that the number of these signals should be limited. For further information, see the chapter Efficient communication. The number of alarm signals the network receives must not exceed the number the server can handle in the complete network. One server can handle up to 300 alarms, depending on the application and operator terminal. This means that the network must not contain more than a total of 300 alarms.

Index in Network Client

Index addressing, which makes it possible to select in run mode from which register an object is to collect the shown value, see the chapter Index Addressing, cannot be used in operator terminals functioning as BDTP clients. BDTP clients only use the BDTP servers index register. If, however, a operator terminal which is a BDTP client also has a local controller, normal handling of index addressing is applicable in accordance with the chapter Index Addressing.

23 Function Keys
This chapter describes how function keys are used, and how to convert the arrow keys on the operator terminal 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. This entail that if more than two function keys are pressed at the same time, only the first two will be activated.

Function Keys

23.1 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 is always accessible in run mode, on the assumption that the block shown in the display does not have any local definitions for the actual function key. Local definitions have a higher priority than global definitions. Global definitions are defined by doubleclicking Function keys in the Project Manager. Local function keys are defined under the Local function keys tab in the block properties dialog for the current block..

Function I/O

Description 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.) With the function Event it is possible to select how the key will activate the given signal. Under Event there are the following alternatives: Momentary means that the signal is set to one as long as the key is active. Toggle means that the signal is set to one or reset alternately when the key is activated. Set to one means that the signal is set to one when the key is activated, and remains set to one. Reset means that the signal is reset when the key is activated, and remains reset. Grouped means that all signals belonging to a function key with the relevant group number are reset. The group number is given in the field Group No. A maximum of 8 function keys can be included in a group. Set Analog means that the analog signal linked to the function key is allocated the value given in the field Value. Inc analog means that the analog signal linked to the function key will increase the value by the value given in the field Value. Dec analog means that the analog signal linked to the function key will decrease the value by the value given in the field Value. Allocates maneuverable analog object selected with the cursor the entered value. Increases the value for the selected maneuverable analog object with the entered value or sets the selected maneuverable digital object to one. Decreases the value for the selected maneuverable analog object with the entered value or resets the selected maneuverable digital object. Sets the selected digital object to one as long as the key is pressed. Jump to block with the given name/number. The function keys can be defined with a security level. The security level means that the operator must login with a password for the same or higher security level to be able to use the function key.
