1-1 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 DOP Series Human Machine Interface DOP series HMI are manufactured by adopting high-speed hardware to provide you with a powerful programmable interface. ScrEdit software is a user-friendly program editor of DOP-A, DOP-AE and DOP-AS series HMI for Windows. Please refer to the following section for its features and function introduction. 1.2 Features „ PLC Serial Drives Support DOP series HMI’s support more than twenty brands of PLC’s, including Delta, Omron, Siemens, Mitsubishi, etc. All of the newly supported PLC’s communication protocol information could be found on our website (http://www.delta.com.tw/industrialautomation/) for upgrade to meet your requirements. (All other trademarks in this manual are property of their respective companies.) „ Windows® Fonts Support for ScrEdit Software Except Simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese and English languages, ScrEdit software also provides those fonts that Windows® uses. „ Quick Execution and Communication Macro It can handle complicated calculation by executing macro. The user can also write communication protocol with communication macro command to connect specific system via COM port. „ Rapid USB Upload/Download It will shorten upload/download time by using USB Ver1.1. „ Recipes It provides useful recipe editor that is similar to Microsoft excel for user to edit recipe easily and input multiple recipes simultaneously (size limit is 64K). When downloading multiple recipes at the same time, it can exchange by internal memory of HMI. If data has finished editing when downloading, you can download recipe individually. „ Direct Communication with Two or Three PLCs DOP-A series HMI is able to connect to two different or the same controllers via two communication ports. Up to three communication ports are provided in DOP-AE and DOP-AS series HMI for direction connection to PLCs.

1-2 Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 „ Support Multiple PLC’s Connections One DOP series HMI can connect to multiple controllers in serial through COM2 of RS-485 port (NOTE 1). „ Simulation Function (NOTE 2) HMI ScrEdit software provides simulation feature which allows the user to develop and debug software on the PC connected to DOP series HMI before downloading it to DOP series HMI. Off-line Simulation: When the editing and compile operation is completed, the user can use off-line simulation function to simulate HMI operation and check if it is correct or not through the PC directly without connecting to the controller. On-line Simulation: When the editing and compile operation is completed, the user can use on-line simulation function to simulate HMI operation and check if it is correct or not through the PC directly with connecting to the controller. „ Using SM Card to Backup Data SM card can also be used to backup data or transfer data to another HMI. After data transmission, the data can be saved into the FLASH memory of HMI. History list and alarm message can be also saved in SM card and the user can read these files by card reader for collecting data and printing. „ Multiple Security Protection It provides passwords to protect designer’s intellectual property rights and also for the user to set the user’s priority for important components. Only the user, whose priority is higher than the component, can use the component. „ USB Host Port (USB Host) Equipped Parts of DOP series HMIs have a built-in USB Host interface for the connection to USB flash drive, card reader and printer with USB socket. The user can save data, copy program and print the screen immediately and increase the data storage space. „ Multiple Security Protection It provides passwords to protect designer’s intellectual property rights and also for user to set user priority for important component. „ Multi-Language Support It is easy for the user to switch the desired language via HMI or the external controller. Furthermore, Unicode editing is supported, and therefore it is convenient for the user to create and edit more quickly.

Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 1-3 NOTE 1) The controller should provide RS-485 interface. 2) Off-line/On-line simulation functions are only provided for some parts of the controllers. Also, the execution time of on-line simulation only can continue 30 minutes. After the simulation time has finished, HMI will return ScrEdit software main screen from simulation window automatically. 3) When executing simulation function, the resolution of PC screen should be set to 24bit and higher, otherwise the simulation function may work abnormally. 1.3 Ordering Information DOP – AE 10 TH T D – W 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1.

The user can transmit the designated parameter to the controller by using HMI recipe after finishing editing recipe. Bread making is an example. When making different bread, baking time control is very important. The user can use Recipe function to meet the different time requirements for making different bread. The purpose of this function is to reduce the loading of the controller and make the register of the controller to be more flexible in use. Recipe function provides an easy and quick parameter input method for the connected controller. When completing the recipe editing, the user just needs to use the recipe register in control block and the designated corresponding parameters can be transmitted into the internal memory addresses of the controller. Recipe can be set and modified by Recipe Setup dialog box (Fig. 2.8.11) and can be saved and used independently without project file. Not only 16 bits recipe file (*.rcp), Delta DOP series HMI products also allow the user to save the recipe data as a 32 bits recipe file (*.csv). Then, the user can edit csv file in Microsoft Windows@ Excel environment conveniently. Before using recipe, the user should enable recipe function first by clicking Tools > Recipe. After the recipe function is enabled, the Recipe Setup dialog box will pop up (Fig. 2.8.11) and then the user can start to edit the recipe.

2-76 Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 Recipe Control Register (RECR) Bit Number Function 0 Recipe number change 1 Read recipe (PLC → HMI) 2 Write recipe (HMI → PLC) 3 Recipe group number change 4~7 Reserved 8~15 Designate change recipe group number „ Control Flag for Changing Recipe Number There are two kinds of methods for changing and calling recipe number. One method is to use HMI internal register, RCPNO directly. RCPNO is the internal system register used for designating recipe number. The other method is to use Recipe Control Register (RECR) (Dn+5). When the user wants to change HMI recipe number, i.e. RCPNO value through control block settings, first, it needs to write recipe number (N) into Designated Recipe Number Register (RBIR) (Dn+6, please refer to the explanation of Register for Designating Recipe Number (RBIR) in Chapter 5) and use this control flag to trigger Bit 0 of Dn+5 to be ON. After setting, RCPNO will be changed to N automatically. This flag needs be set to OFF and then ON if the user wants to trigger again. „ Control Flag for Reading Recipe The user can change the recipe value of PLC by triggering this control flag (Bit 1 is set to ON). Before reading a recipe from PLC, the user should designate the recipe number (N) first (Please refer to the section “Control Flag for Changing Recipe Number” in Chapter 5). Then, trigger this control flag to ON (Bit 1 is set to ON). After setting, the recipe will be read from PLC and stored in designating area of HMI. This flag needs be set to OFF and then ON if the user wants to trigger again. „ Control Flag for Writing Recipe Before writing a recipe to PLC, the user should designate the recipe number (N) first (Please refer to the section “Control Flag for Changing Recipe Number” in Chapter 5). Then, trigger this control flag to ON (Bit 2 is set to ON). After setting, the recipe will be written to PLC. This flag needs be set to OFF and then ON if the user wants to trigger again. „ Control Flag for Changing Recipe Group Number There are two kinds of methods for changing and calling recipe group number. One method is to use HMI internal register, RCPG directly. RCPG is the internal system register used for designating recipe group number. The other method is to use Recipe Control Register (RECR) (Dn+5). When the user wants to change HMI recipe group number through control block settings, first, it needs to write recipe

Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 2-77 group number (N) into the high byte of this control block and use this control flag to trigger, Dn+5 (Bit 3 is set to ON). After setting, RCPG will be changed to N automatically. This flag needs be set to OFF and then ON if the user wants to trigger again. Register for Designating Recipe Number (RBIR) Word Function 0 Designate receipt number which the user wants to change By writing recipe group number (N) into Designated Recipe Number Register (RBIR), RCPNO value can be changed. The user can use the control flag for changing recipe number of Recipe Control Register (RECR) to write recipe group number (N) into Designated Recipe Number Register (RBIR) and change RCPNO value. The following section will introduce how to use recipe. The example is named as recipe.dop and it is saved in the Example folder under Screen Editor software installation directory. Please click Tools > Recipe on menu bar and enter into Recipe Setup dialog box. In this example, the Length is set to 6, Group is set to 7 and Address is set to Internal Memory $220. After complete the above settings, your Screen will look like the Fig. 2.8.26 shown below. Fig. 2.8.26 Recipe Setup dialog box

2-78 Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 Besides, in order to perform simulation operation more conveniently, the Address of Control Block is set to Internal Memory $0. Your Screen will look like the Fig. 2.8.27 shown below. Fig. 2.8.27 Control Block Settings of Configuration dialog box

Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 2-79 Fig. 2.8.28 Recipe Example When the user select “Enable Recipe” option in Recipe Setup dialog box, there are RCP and RCPNO two kinds of device types available for the user to select in Input dialog box (See the following Fig. 2.8.29). RCPNO is used to change the recipe group and RCP is used to store the recipe data. The content of recipe register depends on the recipe data set by the user. The recipe changes, the recipe register also changes. In this example, RCP0 ~ RCP17 are recipe registers and HMI will store the recipe data set by the user in these recipe registers. If these registers have the corresponding recipe set by the user, HMI will create recipe data into the internal recipe register automatically and select the value in Input dialog box (See the following Fig. 2.8.29). $220 ~ $225 are the destination addresses that are used to store the recipe data (Generally, the recipe data are set to be stored in the addresses of external controller registers, but for the convenience of simulation operation, we set the recipe storage address in the internal memory). $5 is used to display the status of Recipe Control Register (RECR). Write Recipe ($5.2) button is used to execute write recipe operation. When this button is pressed, HMI will write the recipe data from HMI recipe register RCP into the designated recipe storage address ($220 ~ $225). Read Recipe ($5.1) button is used to execute read recipe operation. When this button is pressed, HMI will read recipe data of recipe storage address ($220 ~ $225) back to HMI recipe register RCP. $6 is RBIR, i.e. Designated Recipe Group Number Register and its function is the same as the function of RCPNO. The difference between these two registers is that RCPNO is a fixed address of HMI internal memory, but the address of RBIR can be changed according to the setting of control block (See 2.8.27 on previous page).

2-80 Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 Fig. 2.8.29 Input dialog box The definition of Delta HMI recipe register RCP is described as follows. In Fig. 2.8.26, the length of example recipe is set to 6 and the group of example recipe is set to 7. However, HMI actually create recipe registers (RCP0 ~ RCP15) which the length is 6 but the group is 8. As the user can see in the Fig. 2.8.30, RCP0 ~ RCP5 is defined as recipe buffer area and RCP6 ~ RCP17 is the actual recipe storage area. The function of recipe buffer area is for the user to put the desired change recipe data no matter execute Write Recipe or Read Recipe operation. When the user want to change recipe data, the user have to use RCPNO or RBIR these two registers. In the example shown in Fig. 2.8.30, when RCPNO is set to 2, it means that the using recipe group is 2nd group. At this time, HMI will move the data of 2nd group and put them in the recipe buffer area (RCP0 ~ RCP5). Besides using internal memory address (RCPG and RCPNO), the user also can enter into Configuration dialog box and change the address value of recipe register directly. Since the example control block address is set to $0, the user should use $6 RBIR, i.e. Designated Recipe Group Number Register to designate recipe group and press Change Group ($5.0) button to designate the desired using recipe group. When Write Recipe ($5.2) button is pressed, Write Recipe operation will be enabled. HMI will write the recipe data from HMI recipe register RCP into the designated recipe storage address ($220 ~ $225). The example in Fig. 2.8.30 just displays the screen when HMI write the recipe data into $220 ~ $225. Read Recipe ($5.1) button is used to execute read recipe operation. When this button is pressed, HMI will read recipe data of recipe storage address ($220 ~ $225) back to HMI recipe register RCP.

Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 2-81 Fig. 2.8.30 Change recipe group 32 bits Recipe Example This 32 bits recipe example can be downloaded via the following link: http://59.120.64.39:81/phpbb2/files/32bit_recipe.dop For the convenience of the user and enhance the flexibility of Delta HMI product on application, not only the existing recipe function, the advanced 32 bits recipe function is also provided. The user can manage the recipe data more flexibly and use this function on high precision controller and industry, e.g. CNC controller, etc. Besides inputting 32 bits recipe data, the 32 bits floating recipe function also allows the user to save Double Word value. But the best advantage is that it makes recipe editing to be easier and more flexible. The existing recipe function is a two-dimensional matrix. It means the user can set one recipe length and one recipe group to create one recipe data in a project only. It is not user-friendly when the user wants to create one more recipe data in the same project. Therefore, we develop 32 bits floating recipe function and it is designed for the user that needs to input two and more recipe data in a project simultaneously. In other word, the 32 bits recipe function can become a three-dimensional matrix. So, the settings of the 32 bits recipe function will be a little different that the existing recipe function. Recipe Storage Area Recipe Buffer Area

2-82 Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 For recipe control, the user needs to use Recipe Control Register (RECR) and Designated Recipe Group Number Register (RBIR) to control the read and write operation of recipe. The user can refer to page 2-74 ~ page 2-79 for the introduction and example of recipe function. For more detailed description of the control block, please refer to for Chapter 5 of Delta HMI user manual The following section will introduce how to use 32 bits recipe function. The example is named as 32 bits recipe.dop and it is saved in the Example folder under Screen Editor software installation directory. Please click Tools > 32 bits Floating Recipe on menu bar and enter into 32 bits Recipe Setup dialog box. In this example, you can see that two recipe data is set in different tab. One is B1-4x3 and the other is B2-5x4. B1-4x3 indicates that its Length is set to 4 and its Group is set to 3. B2-5x4 indicates that its Length is set to 5 and its Group is set to 4. The memory format of B1 recipe data is set to Floating and the memory format of B2 recipe data is set to Unsigned Decimal. Please refer to Fig. 2.8.31 below and Fig. 2.8.32 shown on next page. Fig. 2.8.31

Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 2-83 Fig. 2.8.32 In order to perform simulation operation more conveniently, the Address of Control Block is set to Internal Memory $0. Please refer to Fig. 2.8.33 shown below. Fig. 2.8.33 Fig. 2.8.34 is an example of starting screen. Besides using internal memory address (RCPG and RCPNO), the user also can enter into Configuration dialog box and change the address value of recipe register directly. No matter what kind of method is chosen, the user still needs to execute recipe read and write operation via Control Block. Pressing Internal Memory button is to switch the recipe data by using internal memory address and pressing Control Block button is to switch the recipe data through the settings of the Control Block.

2-84 Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 Fig. 2.8.34 When Internal Memory button is pressed, HMI will enter intro the screen shown as Fig. 2.8.35. RCPG is used to store the recipe data, RCPNO is used to change the recipe group and RCP0 ~ RCP15 are recipe registers and HMI will store the recipe data set by the user in these recipe registers. $1000 ~ $1006 are the destination addresses that are used to store the recipe data (Generally, the recipe data are set to be stored in the addresses of external controller registers, but for the convenience of simulation operation, we set the recipe storage address in the internal memory). Because this example uses 32 bits recipe data, each recipe data will occupy two WORD registers. It means that the recipe storage addresses will be $1000, $1002, $1004 and $1006. $5 in green is used to display the status of Recipe Control Register (RECR). Recipe Write ($5.2) button is used to execute recipe write operation. When this button is pressed, HMI will write the recipe data from HMI recipe register RCP into the designated recipe storage address ($1000 ~ $1006). Recipe Read ($5.1) button is used to execute recipe read operation. When this button is pressed, HMI will read recipe data of recipe storage address ($1000 ~ $1006) back to HMI recipe register RCP. Main button is used to return to the screen shown as Fig. 2.8.34. When the value of RCPG is equal to 0, it means that the display data of RCP register is a 16 bits recipe data. Since there is no 16 bits recipe data set in this example, the value of RCPG will display 0 only and the display of HMI will be shown as Fig. 2.8.35 on next page. When the value of RCPG is equal to 1, it means that the RCP register will display the B1 recipe data (Fig. 2.8.31) and the display of HMI screen will be shown as Fig. 2.8.36 on next page.

2-86 Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 The definition of Delta HMI recipe register RCP is described as follows. In Fig. 2.8.31, the length of B1 recipe data is set to 4 and the group of B1 recipe data is set to 3. However, HMI actually create recipe registers (RCP0 ~ RCP15) which the length is 4 but the group is 4. As the user can see in the Fig. 2.8.37 below, RCP0 ~ RCP3 is defined as recipe buffer area and RCP4 ~ RCP15 is the actual recipe storage area. The function of recipe buffer area is for the user to put the desired change recipe data no matter execute Recipe Write or Recipe Read operation. When the user want to change recipe data, the user have to use RCPNO or RBIR these two registers. In the example shown in Fig. 2.8.37 below, when RCPNO is set to 2, it means that the using recipe group is 2nd group of B1 recipe data. At this time, HMI will move the data of 2nd group of B1 recipe data and put them in the recipe buffer area (RCP0 ~ RCP3). Fig. 2.8.37 As Fig. 2.8.38 shown on next page, when Recipe Write ($5.2) button is pressed, write recipe operation will be enabled. HMI will write the recipe data from HMI recipe register RCP into the designated recipe storage address. The example in Fig. 2.8.38 just displays the screen when HMI write the recipe data into $1000 ~ $1006. Recipe Read ($5.1) button is used to execute recipe read operation. When this button is pressed, HMI will read recipe data of recipe storage address ($1000 ~ $1006) back to HMI recipe register RCP. Recipe Buffer Area Recipe Storage Area

Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 2-87 Fig. 2.8.38 Besides using internal memory address (RCPG and RCPNO), the user also can enter into Configuration dialog box and change the address value of recipe register directly. In Fig. 2.8.34, pressing Control Block button is to switch the recipe data through the settings of the Control Block and the example display will be shown as Fig, 2.8.39. In Fig. 2.8.39, $500 is used to set the desired change recipe group number. But there is a After Execute Macro set in this register. The macro explanation is described as follows: SWAP($501, $500, 1) Exchange the high and low byte of $500 and store the result in $501 $5 = $501 Move the value of $501 to $5 Since the example control block address is set to $0, $5 is set to the Recipe Control Register (RECR ) and bit 8 ~bit 15 is defined and used for setting recipe group number. There, the user should set the designated recipe group, exchange the high and low byte and move the value to $5. After recipe group number is set, press Block Change ($5.3) button to change recipe group. After the recipe group is changed, the user should use $6 RBIR, i.e. Designated Recipe Group Number Register to designate recipe group and press Change Group ($5.0) button to designate the desired using recipe group. When Recipe Write ($5.2) button is pressed, recipe write operation will be enabled. HMI will write the recipe data from HMI recipe register RCP into the designated recipe storage address ($1000 ~ $1006). The example in Fig. 2.8.39 just displays the screen when HMI write the recipe data into $1000 ~ $1006. Recipe Read ($5.1) button is used to execute read recipe operation. When this button is pressed, HMI will read recipe data of recipe storage address ($1000 ~ $1006) back to HMI recipe register RCP

2-88 Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 Fig. 2.8.39 Recipe CSV File Editing There are two recipe file types provided in Delta DOP series HMI, one is 16bits recipe file (*.rcp) that only can be edited in ScrEdit software environment and the other is 32 bits recipe file (*.csv) that can be opened and edited in Windows® Excel environment. The following section will describe how to edit a Excel CSV File (*.csv) in Microsoft Excel. The definition of CSV file of general recipe and 32 bits recipe file are not the same. Both of them will be introduced in the following. General Recipe Example The layout of its csv file is shown as Fig. 2.8.40 on next page. The first row shows the length and group number. The other data are the actual recipe value.
