3 Make Project
This chapter takes PH value of neutralization pond control system for example to explain the process of making project by
Kinco HMIware.

3.1 Project Requirement
The project requires auto-control mode and manual control mode.



In full-automatic control mode, after pressing “Start” button, the system will detect the water level of first
neutralization pond automatically. When the liquid meter(LIT03) detect that the water level reaches preset height, then
it will enter automatic circulation process: close electric valve(AV01),open electric valve (AV02),and start air
blower(B01) and circulating pump(P01) to aerate and circulation stir. After stirring uniform, it will start acid metering
pump(P02) or alkali metering pump(P03).When the PH value detected by AIT01 satisfies effluent standard
（6≤PH≤9）,then stop P02 or P03,open AV01 and close AV02,then let off the qualified water to the second
neutralization pond. If the water level detected by LIT04 reaches the preset height, then it will detect the PH value of
AIT02 automatically. If it satisfies 6≤PH≤9, then close AV04 and open AV03.Let off the water until the water level
detected by LIT04 is lower than lower limit, then close AV03.If it doesn’t satisfy the requirement, then it will close
AV03 and open AV04 to continue processing.
When detecting the water level of the first neutralization pond lower than lower limit, then stop B01 and P01, herein
this process finish. When the water level of the first neutralization pond reach preset height, then continue to next
process.

Kinco HMIware Configuration Edit Software

In the circulation process, LIT01 and LIT02 real time monitor the liquid level of acid storage jar and alkali storage jar.
If
it is lower than lower limit, then it will show alarm information.


In manual control mode, every process is controlled separately by manual according to the value of AIT01 and AIT02
instead of being triggered by the water level of neutralization pond.

3.2 System Analysis
According to project requirement, this control system can be consisting of upper computer, PLC and instrumentation.
PLC is mainly used to sample data (data of liquid meter and PH meter), control device (air blower, circulating pump, electric
valve).Here we use HMI as upper computer to communicate with PLC by RS-232C.
The configuration and parameters are shown in following table.


Upper computer system configuration:

Kinco HMIware Configuration Edit Software

2.3.1 Font Type
Kinco HMIware provides 3 available fonts, i.e. dot matrix font, vector font and graph font. The advantages and
disadvantages of these three fonts will be described as follows; users can select the suitable font type according to its
characteristics.
2.3.2 Dot Matrix Font
Dot Matrix font saves the bitmap for each character of the required Chinese character set. Each primitive (small picture) is
spliced together to form a character string when it is used.


Disadvantages of dot matrix font:


Only SimSun is supported.



The scaling effect is poor.
For each character, 3 kinds of bitmaps (8×8, 16×8, 24×16 (height*width)) are reserved respectively, so the effect
is very poor when the larger font is displayed, as shown below:



full-width deal only for

unASCII characters

Kinco HMIware deals with ASCII characters as half-width ones, while unASCII as full-width ones. So if each
character has different width, the intervals may be different:



advantages of dot matrix font:
A smallest storage space is occupied by dot matrix font.

2.3.3 Vector Font
Vector font intercepts the characters that are used by the user from the corresponding font library through checking the setup
of the user-set fonts, and then makes them into TrueType font file (*.ttf format) for HMI to use.


Disadvantages of vector font:


Only Support the TrueType installed in the operating system (*.ttf format).



Without selecting “Vector Fonts Edge Blur”，the font is displayed with some projections, and comparison
results as shown below:

Advanced Part Basic Design Method



“Vector Fonts Edge Blur” can be set in [HMI Attribute]-[HMI Extended Attributes].



Advantages of vector font:


A smaller storage space is occupied. It adopts the method of intercepting the matrix from the font file, thus
reducing the size of the font file. For the same character in the same font, only one matrix needs to be intercepted
regardless of the size, color, bold/italic styles.





The font size can be set freely without any deformation



Support the alignment method for multiple-line text.



Text library can support the vector font.

System default vector font setting

User can define the default vector font in [System Default Vector Font] in [Option].

[Example] Set System Default Font as “Arial”, when using tag or text and select “Vector Font”, it will select
“Arial”by default automatically.
2.3.4 Graph Font
Graph font treats the whole character string as a whole, and intercepts the whole bitmap and saves it in the project.

Kinco HMIware Configuration Edit Software



Disadvantages of graph font:


A larger storage space is occupied. Because the character string saves as bitmap, so it needs a larger space. For
example: Four characters “configuration”displayed in zero SimSun needs 1824 bytes, as shown below:

In addition, the graph font should be intercepted again if the content, size or colors vary slightly, thus causing a
linear increase in the occupied space.



Text library can’t support the graph font.

Advantages of graph font:


Support all installed fonts in current operating system.



The scaling effect is good.

2.3.5 Text Attribute Edition
User can modify the font attribute through the following two methods:


Modify in the component attribute dialog box

Double-click component /text to set the font attributes in [Component Attribute]-[Tag] or [Text Attribute].


Modify in Font Toolbar

Selected component/ text, and then set the font attributes in [Font Toolbar]. This method can support multi-modify font
attribute.
Different font types support different font attribute to be modified, specific as below:
: Support；--: Unsupport

2.3.6 Notes for Using Vector Font
Based on the special treating method for the vector font, the following conditions should be paid attention to when the vector
font is used:
1. Some fonts may not support some characters, or have poor support effects.
78

Advanced Part Basic Design Method

For example, the Chinese characters can be displayed by using Arial font, because there are no corresponding Chinese
characters in Arial font library. Otherwise the effect will as shown below:

2. Because the dot matrix font and graph font have many disadvantages in the storage space and scaling etc, therefore, use
the vector font as much as possible when it can meet the project requirements.
3. Avoid using too many fonts as much as possible.
It too many types of vector fonts (e.g. dozens or more) are used by the user, the number of font files will be too many, thus
affecting the compilation speed, downloading speed and screen switching speed.
4. Use the common fonts in operating system as much as possible.
If a certain project uses “Microsoft Elegant Black” font when it is edited on PC, and when it is transferred to another PC
where no “Microsoft Elegant Black” font exists for editing, then all the “Microsoft Elegant Black” characters used in
the project will be changed to “SimSun” automatically.

2.4 Keyboard
This chapter describes keyboard type and methods of calling keyboard in Kinco HMIware.
2.4.1 Keyboard Type
Kinco HMIware support three keyboard for users: NUMERAL Keyboard、ASCII Keyboard and HEX Keyboard. And users
can make own keyboard or use external USB keyboard.

 Save, compile, and run the project. Then click the number input component (LW0) to make the specified num keyboard
pop up in the middle of HMI screen.

2.5 Code Type
Kinco HMIware can support code type: BIN, BCD and LSB. User can select the correct encoding type according to the
actual encoding type of data process.
2.5.1 BIN
BIN（Binary）is binary code type. Most digital systems are based on BIN code to process the data
Code Type

Word data range

Dword data range

Signed BIN

-32767~32767

-2147483648~2147483647

Unsigned BIN

0~4294967295

[Example]

Convert binary data 1001 0100 to decimal data:
88

Advanced Part Basic Design Method

1001 0100 = 1×27+0×26+0×25+1×24+0×23+1×22+0×21+0×20 = 148
2.5.2 BCD
BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) is two-decimal code. The encoding type represents a decimal number 0 to 9 with 4-bit binary
number. Example 9 (Decimal) =1001 (Binary).
As easy to deal with,often use for BCD switch and BCD nixie tube display 由
Code Type

[Example]
Decimal data is +123，the binary data is 0000 0000 0111 1011 (64+32+16+8+2+1=123). But BCD data is #123，it can be
simply expressed as 0000 0001 0010 0011
Decimal data is -413，the binary data is 1111 1110 0110 0011(complement for negative number，negation adding 1). But
BCD data is #F413，it can be simply expressed as 1111 0100 0001 0011
2.5.3 LSB
LSB is the acronym of Least Significant Bit. This encoding type first converts the data in the buffer to binary data, and then
determines the current state of component based on the number of consecutive “0”at the least significant bits of the binary
dat. [Example] Take the data with word address for example:
Decimal

Binary

State

0000 0000 0000 0000

All bit are 0, the state is 16

0000 0000 0000 0001

The number of consecutive “0”at least significant bits is 0, the state is 0

0000 0000 0000 0010

The number of consecutive “0”at least significant bits is 1, the state is 1

0000 0000 0000 0011

The number of consecutive “0”at least significant bits is 0, the state is 0

0000 0000 0000 0100

The number of consecutive “0”at least significant bits is 2, the state is 2

0000 0000 0000 0101

The number of consecutive “0”at least significant bits is 0, the state is 0

0000 0000 0000 0110

The number of consecutive “0”at least significant bits is 1, the state is 1

0000 0000 0000 0111

The number of consecutive “0”at least significant bits is 0, the state is 0

0000 0000 0000 1000

The number of consecutive “0”at least significant bits is 3, the state is 3

2.6 Language Switching
User can pre-register the content written in multiple languages to text library in Kinco HMIware. The switching display

screensaver window number.



Screen saver time range from 1 to 65535, unit is minute; if set to 0, it means does not use the screen
saver function.

2. Check the "Return to original window when screensavers ends", which means that when the system
enters screen, if there are touch-screen operation, the system will switch back to the previous window
into screensavers. Uncheck it means to continue to stay in the screensaver window, you need to set
window switching element to switch screen.

2.14.2 Screen Protection
You can set security levels or user permissions to limit operator from entering some important windows.

108

Advanced Part Basic Design Method



security levels to protect screen

Set number of security levels and relevant password in [HMI attribute]-[security levels].
There are two ways：
Take window A switching to window B for example:


Window security level

Window security level is set to 0(default), Window B security level is set to 1, then window A can be switched to window
B when the system security level is equal or up to 1. So user must input the 1 or up 1 level password before switching the
window.
About password window：
User can pop password window with the help of direct window, while function key will be used to switch the state of it.
User can also create a new window or call the system one[Frame9:Login Window].
 Set the control authority
Set control setting to the component changing window. Choose “conditional enable” in [attribute]-[control
setting]-[Touching enabled setting], select “security level”, set minimum level:1(or higher than 1).Then only users
whose level is not less than 1can operate


this component.

screen protection through user permission

You need first to assign authority in [HMI attribute]-[user permissions setting]
Then you can set control setting of a component to implement this function.
Choose “conditional enabling”in [HMI attribute]-[control setting]-[touching enabled setting],select “permission control”,
“select permission”:1 (for example).
Only user who has permission 1 can use this component. User can input its name and password to get the permission.
About login window:
User can also create a new window or call the system one [Frame9: Login Window].
2.14.3 Component Protection
In Kinco HMIware, you can limit others to operate some important components by set security levels or user permissions.

In two following ways you can protect components from being used without allowance:

2.15 Data Encryption
For the data stored in the external memory – USB disk\ SD card, data encryption function can be used to limit the user to
make modification, editing and so on to the data files as CSV format.



If the [data decryption] operation is not performed to the CSV file generated for the component using
[Data Encryption], the illegible characters will be displayed in the opened CSV file.

If the data is decrypted through KHManager, the CSV file can only be opened for viewing instead of
modifying or editing.

If the encrypted file is modified by someone intentionally, the error prompt will appear during the
[Decompile] operation in KHManager, making the damage of source file informed to the user.

4. The components supporting [Data Encryption] function are trend curve, XY plot, historical data
display components.
Take the setting method of [Data Encryption] for sampling data file of the Trend Curve as example:
(1) [Trend graph component attribute] - [Save historical data] - Select [Save to external device] - Select [Data Encryption].

（2）The illegible characters will be displayed in the generated CSV file after the encryption if it is directly opened.

110

3 Window
Window is the basic element for HMI project, each screen is made of some windows. With window, you can place the
various components, graphics, texts displayed on the HMI screen.

3.1 Window Types
According to the different of the function or using ways, there are 3 types of windows: Basic Window, Common Window
and Fast Selection Window. The Basic Window after its size is changed can also be used as pop-up window. All the windows
can be used as the bottom window. Specific descriptions are shown as below:
Window Types
Basic Window

Descriptions
This window is the most commonly used window. When Basic Window is changed by using [Function
Key]-[change window] or [PLC Control]-[change window] function, the current screen will be cleared
(All the windows rather than Common Window and Fast Selection Window will be cleared.), and the
Basic Window to be changed will be displayed in the current screen. When the component in Basic
Window calls the pop-up windows, the Basic Window is always on opening status, and the original
information will be reserved, and the called pop-up window will be attached to the current Basic
Window. The master-slave relationship is between Basic Window and all of related pop-up windows.
When Basic Window N is switched to Basic Window M, all of the sub-windows of Basic Window N
will be closed while Basic Window M and is sub-windows will be displayed.

Fast Selection

This window is the window called by the operation buttons, is generally used to place the commonly

Window

used buttons. And it will be always displayed in the screen until the operation button makes it hidden.
The default Fast Selection Window is Frame 2. You can modify the other window as Fast Selection
Window in [HMI Attribute]-[HMI Extended Attributes]-[Fast Selection Window].

Common

The components in this window will be displayed in the other window, but does not include Pop-up

Window

Window. Usually each window shared or the same components will be put in Common Window. The
default Common Window is Frame 1. You can modify the other window as Common Window in [HMI
Attribute]-[HMI Extended Attributes]-[Public Window].

Bottom Window

This window is generally used to put some common components such as background graphics, charts,
and titles and so on. Using this window, you needn’t to edit the some components repeatedly. The
components in Bottom Window will be inserted into the general window during, and in fact window
isn’t displayed at all.

Pop-up Window

All the Pop-up windows are attached to the current Basic Window. The windows closed by the function
key only can close Pop-up window, direct window or indirect window, can’t close Basic Window. The
direct window, indirect window, [Event Information Logon]-[Pop-up window] and [Function

121

Kinco HMIware Configuration Edit Software

Key]-[Popup window] all belong to the Pop-up window.

One screen can include Basic Window, Fast Selection Window, Common Window, while every Basic Window or Common
Window can include many Bottom Windows and Pop-up Windows. The relationship between them is shown as below:

※ The pop windows by Event information logon and Function key setup
The number of windows in each project is limited as follows：
Window Type

Default Window No.

The largest number of windows

Basic Window

The window No. ranges: basic window 0, 10 to 32767

Common Window

Fast Selection Window

Bottom Window

Up to 3 bottom windows can be set for each window.

Pop-up Window

Unlimited until the memory runs out

1.As once opened，the popup window won`t release the RAM unless closed，it is suggest to use it as few as
possible.
2. The same window can be opened once by one related window, therefore you can’t open the same
window by 2 or up direct window/ indirect window in the basic window.
3. All the Pop-up windows are attached to the current basic window, so when the current window is switched
to the other Basic Window, the Pop-up window will be closed. In this case, if the window is switched back to
this Basic Window, you will find that the Pop-up window originally attached to this window still exist;
otherwise you use the [Close window] function of function key.
4.A popup window in the common window does exist until shut down with the Function key [Close window]
5. Fast Selection Window supports the Pop-up window.
6. Use Basic window rather than Popup window, Indirect window or direct window which may slow down
the communication speed.
7. The actual largest number of Basic window and Popup window is related to HMI`s RAM.

Code

Data transmit type

Code

Data transmit type

PLC  RW(HMI Recipe register)

PLC  LW(HMI local register)

RW(HMI Recipe register)  PLC

LW(HMI local register)  PLC

For example: Transmit the data in D100~D104 (PLC register) to the RS100 ~RW104 (HMI recipe register).
Set D0 as the specified address in PLC Control, that is to say, D0 controls the Transmit Type, D1 controls the Transmit Data
Length, D2 controls the offset of data source register (PLC) and D3 controls the offset of destination register (HMI).
According to the example, D0=1 means transmit data from PLC to RW; D1=5 means there are 5 words (D100~D104)
needs transmitting; D2=96 which means PLC source address is D100=(96+0)+4, 0 means the start address in General PLC
Control. As the D0 to D3 are used for control register, so the source address is D4 , and the offset(96) is also for D4 , so the
PLC source register address is D2+ start address in General PLC Control(D0)+4. D3=100 means that the start address of
destination register is RW100.
(7)General PLC Control (Extend)
General PLC Control (Extend) is similar as the General PLC Control, it is also used to transmit data between PLC/controller
register sand HMI registers; the difference is that it distributes 6 registers to transmit type, transmit data length, offset of
PLC/controller register address and offset of HMI register address. See the following table for details

Execute Type

Descriptions as follows.
On: it will set the specific bit address as on at the beginning time.
For example, beginning time is 9:30:00.

Off:it will set the specific bit address as off at the beginning time.
For example:beginning time is 9:30:00

Bit Set

Toggle:it will switch the status of the specific bit address at beginning time.If the orginal
status of the bit address is off,then it will switch to on.Or it will switch to off.
For example,beginning time is 9:30:00

Set Constant:it will write a constant to specific register at the beginning time.
For example:beginning time is 9:30:00,constant value is 100 and specific register is 4x1.
Word Set

Add Value:it will use the original value of specific register to add an addend at the
beginning time,and its final value will not exceed the upper limit.
For example:beginning time is 9:30:00,addend is 3,upper limit is 80 and specific register
is 4x1.

277

Kinco HMIware Configuration Edit Software

Sub Value: it will use the original value of specific register to subtract a subtrahend at
the beginning time,and its final value will not exceed the lower limit.
For example:beginning time is 9:30:00,subtrahend is 3,lower limit is 9 and specific
register is 4x1.

Data type

It is used to select the data type of setting value.It supports 16-bit signed\16-bit
unsigned,32-bit signed\32-bit unsigned,float,double.

Write Address

Set the address which is used for execution.

Variable Param

Use variables to change the set value(for set constant),Addend,upper(for add),subtrahend and lower(for

Address

sub)

If the write addresses are the same in schedule list,it is forbidden to set the same time and date to
them.

Every time in schedule list only executes once.When it reaches execution time,the specific address
will be written a value once.

Because it needs to read the data of [Word Set] and [Control Setting],the execution maybe delay
according to the data communication.

When selecting [Variable Date Address],system will read the address cyclically,the cycle time depends
on the busyness of system.

When the value of the variable date address exceeds the range of standard time,then the setting
schedule will be wrong.

5 Better Understanding of Library
In Kinco HMIware, user can load the text, address tag, graphic and sound in the database, when they need to use this
information, they can call it from the database directly, this database is called library in Kinco HMIware. This chapter will
give you a detail description of how to use library.

5.1 Text Library
We will describe how to use Text Library in this section.
5.1.1 Create a Text Library
(1) Click on the Option (O) menu>>Text Library (T) or the

icon in the tool bar or the Text Library in the Project

Database of Graph element window to open the Text Library dialog box.
(2) Click on the Add to pop up the Add Text dialog box.

For example, build a text item named “Start Motor”, the State Num is 2, each text supports 256 states at most. Click on
the Ok to finish building the text, and click on the Cancel to give up this text.

The Name of text cannot be modified after it is built

After setting the Name and State Num, click on the OK to the next step.
(3) The text named “Start Motor” has been added to the Text Library, click on the

icon before “Start Motor” to

view the states of this text, there are two states: 0 and 1. Click on the blank area under the each language to input text content.
In this example , we input “启动” in the language1 of state 0，and “停止”in the language1 of state 1; Input “Start” in
the language2 of state 0，and “Stop” in the language2 of state 1.

286

Advanced Part Better Understanding of Library

Besides, user can add/delete/modify the text state by right click option, take the following picture for

example:
(4) Click on the OK to close the Text Library dialog box after editing. Check the “Use Textlib” in Tag option of a
component and then select a already built text in list.

287

Kinco HMIware Configuration Edit Software

5.1.2 Export/Import Text Library
The built text library can be exported in a csv file, and the csv file also can be import into the Text Library.

Import/export the whole text library, but cannot import/export a single text item

(1) Export text library

The exported csv file can be edit by Microsoft Excel.
(2) Import text library

5.1.3 Set the Language of Text Library
Click on the Language Setting in the HMI Extended Attributes option of HMI Attributes or the Language in the Text Library
dialog box to open the Language Setting dialog box, and then set the global font attributes of each language.

288

Advanced Part Better Understanding of Library



1. The font attributes in Language Setting is global, and the font attributes in the tag option is only for the
tag content of current component.
2. If the font attributes in Language Setting change, it will not affect the font attributes of the tag which
has already used the text in text library, if user want this font attributes to be the same as the Language
Setting, they can cancel the “Use Textlib”in the tag and then recheck it, so the font attributes is
refreshed.

5.1.4 Text Library Application


Edit the Text Library quickly

When there is a lot of text content in text library, user can export the text library in a csv file , then edit it in the Microsoft
excel, it is very conveniently to edit in this way.
Firstly, build a text library, and then set the state number and text content.

Export the text library to a csv file in your PC, and then open and edit it by Microsoft Excel, you can edit the text name, state
number, text content and add new text item.

The Name, Status, Language1~32 are fixed formwork, if they are modified, there will be problem when
the csv file is imported to the Text Library.

Save the csv file before close it：

289

Kinco HMIware Configuration Edit Software

At last, import the text library file (textlib.csv) to the project.

When importing the text library file, if there is a text in the project text library has the same name as the text
in the file, there will be a tip to warn that whether you want to cover the same name text or not, the covered
text cannot be regained.



Use Text Library to switch multiple languages

Use the special system register LW9130 to switch the languages in text library
When LW9130=0, HMI displays the text content in Language1; when LW9130=1, HMI displays the text content in
Language2….and so on, When LW9130=31, HMI displays the text content in Language32; if the LW9130>31, HMI
displays the text content in Language1.

The Number of Language in the HMI Extended Attributes of HMI Attributes will limit the language number
in Text Library. The default language number is 8 in Text Library, even if the LW9130>8 , HMI only
displays the Language1~Language8. If user wants to use more than 8 languages, he needs to set the Max
Lang Num in Language Setting, and the Number of Language must be smaller than Max Lang Num. The

290

Advanced Part Better Understanding of Library

Default Language means the default language that HMI displays, for example, the language2 is English in
Text Library, if the Default Language is 2, HMI will display the text content in English till LW9130 changes.

☞For details, refer to [Advanced Part 2.6 Language Switching]
5.2 Address Tag Library
We will describe how to use Address Tag library in this section
5.2.1 Build a Address tag Library
(1) Click on the Option (O) menu>>Address Tag (A) or the

icon in the tool bar or the Address Tag in the Project

Database of Graph element window to open the Text Library dialog box.
(2) Click on the Add to pop Build Address Tag dialog box

For example, build an address tag named “Start Motor”, the address is M0. Click on the OK to finish building this address
tag, and click on Cancel to give up this address tag.
5.2.2 Address Tag Application
After building the address tag in Address Tag Library, check the Use Address Tag, and chose the corresponding address tag
name. Take the following picture for example:

291

Kinco HMIware Configuration Edit Software



Bit component can only use the bit address tag; and the word component can only use the word address tag.
The Address Tag library supports being imported and exported; the import/export operation is the same as
the Text Library.

5.3 Graphic Library
Kinco HMiware provides user rich vector graphic and bit map. User can draw vector graphics, like, switch, lamp and so on.

Add a Bitmap component as a background picture.



The bitmap which uses the picture from extended memory device does not support the “Use Original
Size” function; user needs to adjust the size according to the original size himself.

The simulation effect is as follows:

(2)Optimize the bitmap
309

Kinco HMIware Configuration Edit Software

The bitmap supports the multiple formats picture, like BMP, JPG, JPE, JPEG, GIF, and PNG. But the color and size of
imported pictures will affect the HMI project size and execution speed. Please note the following issues when you import a
picture to the bitmap:


The resolution of imported picture cannot be higher than HMI’s resolution, for example the HMI’s resolution is
640*480, and the imported picture’s resolution should be lower than 640*480. User can edit the picture to the same
size as component by picture edit tool before importing this picture to the project, for example, a bitmap is used in a
component with the width and height 100*100, and user can edit the picture to resolution 100*100 before importing
this picture to bitmap. If you do not need the high resolution display, edit the picture as small as possible before
importing, and then zoom in the program.



The pictures saved in HMI are lossless compression in BMP format, if the imported pictures are loss compression in
JPG, the pictures will be larger after compiling, and the resolutions will loss. That is, when using bit map. Please
optimize the picture size, and chose compression format according to the actual application.



Relatively Speaking, the vector graph takes much smaller size than bit map. That is, do not use too many bit maps in
the program, use vector graphics as possible, it also can make HMI execute faster.

5.4 Sound Lib Application
Kinco HMIware supports sound files, like WAV, MP3 formats. They can be used for touch sound or Event/Alarm sound.



1. The audio output port does not support OPAMP function; user needs to connect a loud speaking to this
port.
2. A signal imported sound file must be smaller than 256K, but if the sound file is saved in extended memory,
the size is not limited.
3. Supports WAV and MP3 formats only.
4. Only the HMI with audio output port support Sound Lib function.

The sound file also can be read from extended memory, which can save HMI’s memory.
[Example]: Read the sound file named “sound4.mp3” from U disk. First, save the sound4.mp3 file to the root catalog of U
disk.

1. The File Name must be the same as the name of sound file in the extended memory.
2. The audio file read from extended memory must be mp4 format, the wav is not supported.
3. The audio file must be saved in the root catalog of extended memory.
4. The size of audio file is not limited , it depends on the memory size of extended memory device.

5.4.2 How to Use Audio File
(1)How to use audio file
Only the HMI with audio output port has the Sound option in component attributes. The audio file will be played till the it is
over when the component is touched, and this sound cannot be paused.

The Alarm/Event Information also can use the sound as the alarm sound.

312

(2)Adjust the audio volume
User can use the system register LW9464 to adjust the volume, if LW9464=0, it means sound off. The value of LW9464 is
from 1 to 100, which means the volume is larger.

Advanced Part Macro

9.2.4 Program Macro
1 Define the macro variables before program the macro.

Macro Variables
In macro, the unit whose value can be changed is called variable, each variable has a name and a initial value, it takes a
memory unit in the memory.
Variable name
When user builds a new variable, the default name is Param and user can modify the name. The definition of macro name
must follow the principle of C language, the following are exceptional case:
1.

Cannot use the reserved word of language C code.

The variable name is not case sensitive(not C language standard)

The variable name must start with 26 English letters

The variable name only supports 26 English letters, number and underline.

The number of group data must be from 2 to 1024, but the number of (unsigned) shot group data cannot be 4, the
number of int/float group data be 2.( (not C language standard))

The type of macro variable
There are internal variables and external variables in the macro variables
Internal variables: they are the registers in HMI. The internal variables can be defined in the Parameters window; it also can
be defined in the macro edit window directly.
External variables: they are the registers in the PLC/controller which is connected to HMI. The external variables must be
defined in the parameters window, and then they can used in the macro edit window.
The data type which is supported in macro variable

Description

Read

Read the register before the C code is executed, the register will not be read when the C codede is running.

Write

Write the register after the C code is executed, the register will not be write when the C

Read/Write

Read the register before the C code is executed and wirte it after the C code is executed.



Usually, we define the registers which only need reading as Read type; the registers which need writing
have read operation too, so we define them as Read/Write. Regarding some special registers, which are
write only, but cannot be read, we can define them as Read. Therefore , in the assignment instruction, the
variables at the left side of“=”icon are usually defined as Read/Write and variables at the right side of
“=”icon are usually defined as Read

Advanced Part Macro

Export Variable

Export the defined variables to PC in a CSV file.

Import Variable

Import the variable CSV file to the macro variable window.

The notes of macro variable
(1) When defining the variable, make sure that there is no overlap in the address range, for example, the LW1000 is defined
as a float variable A (double words), that is A takes two addresses: LW1000 and LW1001. If user defines another
variable which uses LW1001, there will be error in the macro calculation.
(2) The macro only supports the logic and arithmetic operation, but do not supports char type operation.
(3) When the variable uses variable station number, especially when the special registers are used as index, the value in the
index registers must be modified before macro execution, so the modified station number can be effective in the macro.
If the index value is set in the macro, the modified station number can be effective in the next execution of macro.
(4) The Export/Import operation only supports export/import all the variables, but not supports export/import a single
variable.
(5) When user uses Excel to edit exported variable CSV file, note that the ParamName~StationNumID are default
formwork, do not modify them or there will be error when you import the CSV file to the macro variable window.
Program the C code in the Macro Edit Window

1. Add the note information in the macro, so you can check and modify the code conveniently in the
future.
2. Use the tab and line break to make the macro a good structure.
3. Do not delete or modify the default code in the macro edit window, press the Enter before “return” to
add your code.

3. After the macro is build, save and compile the HMI program , then check if there is any error information in the
Message Window

.
9.2.5 Execute Macro
There are 6 methods to execute the macro in Kinco HMIware, user can choose one method according his application.
1.

Triggered when the HMI system starts.

Set initialization macro in HMI Attributes>>HMI Extended Attributes, this macro will be trigged when the HMI starts, user
can use this macro to set the initialization value of some parameters and transmit some recipe value.
2.

Triggered by Function Key

Use the Execute Macro function in the Function Key, when the function is pressed , the macro will be triggered once
3.

Triggered by Timer

There are many trigger method in the Timer, it is very flexible to trigger macro by timer.
4.

Triggered by PLC Control

When the certain register satisfies the setting condition, the macro will be triggered.
5.

Triggered by Event

The macro is triggered when the event is triggered
6.

Triggered by Notification

User can use notification in Control Setting to trigger macro.

9.3 Macro Application
For example, we use the value of D100 (PLC register) to change the state of M0 (PLC register), we make this in a macro as
an example: when the value of D100 is 123, M0 is 1, or the M0 is 0.
348

Advanced Part Macro

First, build a macro, set the macro name “ouput status.c”
Then define the variable D100 and M0 in the Parameters Window in macro.

Write the following macro code in the macro edit window.

Save the project, close the macro edit window then switch to the HMI program edit screen, make the program as follows:

 Bit State Lamp, which is used to display the state of M0. Its attribute are as follows:
Read Address

M0（PLC register）

Graphics
Use Vector Graphics，

Number Input Component, which is used to input the value of D100, its attributes are as follows:

9.4 Local Variable Function
When you use the internal (local)l variable, you do not need to define the variable in the macro parameters window, you can
define it macro directly, that is to use the local variable of HMI.
The advantage of using local variable is that the local variable in the macro can be read/write in real time and the execution
speed is faster, performance is better. At the same time, it also saves the time of defining variables in the macro parameters
window.
In the macro edit window ,there is demo code(example) to read/write the local variable, user can write the macro code to
read/write local variable according the demo code, see as follows

In this demo code, we transfer the values in LW200 and LW201 to the LW202 and LW203.
We will explain to you how to use the local variable function in the following example.
For example, use the macro to achieve the addition calculation:

LW100(HMI local register) adds LW101(HMI local

350

Advanced Part Macro

In this example ，
ReadLocal ("LW", 100, 2, (void*)buf, 0) means read the value in LW100 and LW101 and give this value to
buf[0] and buf[1].
buf[0]=buf[0]+buf[1] means addition calculation
WriteLocal ("LW", 102, 1, (void*)buf, 0) means write the calculation result to the LW102.
Save, Compile and Execute:

9.5 Array Application
Array is a group of variables, who has the same data type and name. These variables are called element of array. Each
element has its own serial number in the array, this number is called index. User can distinguish these elements by their
index. The total number of the element of an array is also called the array length.
We explain the array to you in the following example:
For example, use macro to assign values to 100 continuous registers which starts from D100(PLC register), if we do not use
array , we need to define 100 registers in macro parameters window and assign value one by one in the macro code. See as
follows:

Macro code：

351

Kinco HMIware Configuration Edit Software

In the above macro code, the variable name has no unified rule, at the same time , it also takes too much time on define the
variables. If users use the array, they can define these variables in one array, see as follows:

Macro code：

User can use a name and index to representation a variable in the array. For example, data [0] means the first variable in a
array, data[1] means the second variable in a array. The data is the variable name of this array, the number after data is the
index of this array, we need to put the index to a [].
352

Advanced Part Macro

For example, the following example is to define a array variable, then use loop statement to assign 10~15 to the array
elements, these data will be displayed on the Number Display Components. The variable is defined as follows:

Macro code：

Save , compile and execute：

Actually, array is a list of data which has the same data type in the memory. Take the above array for example; a[i] starts
from the number 100 in the memory. The content and value of this array are as follows:
Variable

a[0]

a[1]

a[2]

a[3]

a[4]

a[5]

Value

1. When users visits or assign array variable, they need to according to the defined data type.
2. The indexes of array are inter, which starts from 0, not 1. The index n means the (n+1) variable
3. The array a[n] has n elements, but there is no a[n] in these elements. If user uses the nonexistent elements
in macro, there will be a overflow error.

9.6 Some Notes on the Macro


The values of external variables in the macro are read once when the macro is triggered. The macro will not read it

again or in real time in the macro execution process. So the macro result will not be changed if the registers are changed
from outside during the macro execution process. When we use the macro, we need to make sure that all the input value are
ready before we trigger the macro, or we may cannot get the expect result.


The macro result is output once when the macro is finished. The external variable value will not be changed during the

macro execution process When we use the macro , we need to make sure that the macro is finished and all the outputs are
updated, then we can get the right result..


It is meanness to write the Read Only variable and it is meanness to read the Write Only variable. If the variable

needs to be read and write, please define it as R/W. Besides, user must assign value to the variable which has write operation
attributes(Write Only or R/W variable)


User can define the temporary variable in the macro according to the C language, but can not set the global variable

and static variable. If the global variable is needed, please use the LW, LB register.



One macro can not call other macros in Kinco HMIware, if user wants to use the Function Call as the C language, they

can use a trigger bit in one macro to trigger other macros.

Recipe data is saved on the HMI and can be stored inside the area power down. Recipe data can be stored in the RW and
FRW register. For with USB HOST interface or SD card slot on the HMI, the recipe data can also be stored in the ERW
register.
RW, FRW and ERW distinction as follows:
Recipe Register
RW

Description
RW is specially designed for HMI recipe memory physical storage area that is defined by the address
type. When the HMI is powered down, RW in 4000 series remains . RW in 5000 series depends on
backup battery . If it is powerfui,data remains,but back-up battery power is low, or when no electricity,
RW data will be lost.

FRW

FRW is dedicated to the physical storage area HMI FLASH address type definition. The data stored in
FLASH FRW, not because of HMI powered off or HMI backup battery power and loss of data. But
there are erasing times limit FLASH

ERW0~2

ERW0 ~ 2 is dedicated to the physical storage area defined in the external memory address type. The
data stored in the ERW, not because of HMI powered off or HMI backup battery is dead and losing data

RW, FRW, ERW using methods similar, the following content mainly RW, for example, no longer on the FRW and ERW

11.2 Method for Checking the Recipe Size
11.2.1 Method for Checking the RW Size
The capacity (RW size) is different from different types of HMI. Through the following ways user can check the RW size.
For example: Take MT5320T for example:


Check in Kinco HMIware software

Move the mouse to the MT5320 icon in HMI in Graph element window, the system will automatically display the relevant
information of this HMI. The [Recipe Size] is the RW size. The recipe size of MT5320T is 256k words that are 512 K Bits.



Check in selection guide



Check the recipe file attribute after uploading the recipe by KHManager

379

Kinco HMIware Configuration Edit Software

 Click [Upload Recipe] in [KHManager], and input [File Name], then click [Save].
 Recipe is uploading until the “Upload Success” dialog box pop up.
 Check the size of recipe file uploaded.
11.2.2 Calculation for Recipe Address Range
There are two following ways for calculating HMI recipe address range.


Calculation based on recipe size

[Example]: Take MT5320T for example, the recipe size is 256K words, that 256Kword= 512K Byte, and 1k byte is occupied
by the system. The calculation is (512-1)×1024 Byte=523264 Byte. Because Kinco HMIware are addressed in words, so
bytes divided by 2 becomes the word address, and then the last three digits become 0,finally get 261000 words.


View through the element address range

[Examples] For example create a new model for the MT5320T HMI configuration, in the Configuration Editor to create a
new screen number input component, set the address type is RW, the user can view the MT5320T in the [address range], RW
register address range is: 0 ~ 261000.

380

Advanced Part Recipe/RecipeEditor

11.3 Usage of Recipe
11.3.1 Absolute Address
The recipe memory has an address corresponding recipe absolute addressing (It is assumed that the initial value of
illustration only, to actually quasi) as shown:

11.3.2 Index Address
Because absolute address too much, find it very difficult, so the index provides a virtual address of a temporary storage area
RWI0, ..., RWIn and an index register LW9000 (occupies 2 words) by changing t LW9000 to find RW.

381

Kinco HMIware Configuration Edit Software

[Example] If the value of LW9000 is equal to 105, then the RWI0 will point to the data in address RW105.

11.3.3 Application of Recipe
For example: We take the address 4x of Modbus RTU protocol for example, save the value of 4X1~4X5 to 0 recipe file and 1
recipe file. The address range of 0 recipe file is RW0~RW4, The address range of 1 recipe file is RW5~RW9.

download files to the format of the recipe (which, file size depends on the HMI recipe memory size) It is
the file format which can be identified by HMI
It usually means the file format is based on the configuration settings and automatically saved to an

external storage device or through the recipe editor to save. This particular binary file format, you can
use Microsoft Excel software to open and can be to edit, save and print, and other related operations, but
can not be freely modified template format, otherwise the recipe editor and HMI can not be resolved

erp

The file format only supported that the HMI with external memory, can be saved in USB DISK, SD card
The recipe file format corresponding to the FLASH address, HMI will be only generated while used,
supports a maximum address is 2G Bits, 2 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024/16 Words = 134217728 Words,
when configuration, placed a number input element, the address type selection FRW, will see the range is

frp

0-134217727. The number of FLASH recipe address using as the same as the HMI is open, when not in
use will be released. Usually used to save the more important and not always erase the data, because the
HMI powered off or battery power is not lost, but erasing times is limited. using KHManager tool can
upload and download the recipe file format (upload FRW, download FRW)

14 HMI Communication
This chapter introduces the HMI supports communication and various communication configurations.

14.1 Serial Communication
Serial interface that is referred to is a bit of data sent in the order. Serial communication is common in industrial control
communication, which is characterized by a communication line as simple as a pair of transmission line can be two-way
communication, thereby reducing costs, especially for long-distance communication, the communication distance can be
from a few meters to several thousand m, the transfer speed is slow.
HMI supports RS-232C, RS-485, and RS-422A three kinds of serial communication connection.
14.1.1 HMI and PC Serial Communication
HMI via RS-232C serial cable to connect the PC side serial interface for user projects, recipes and other data upload /
download and HMI firmware update.

☞For more details about uploading and downloading via the serial port on the HMI, please refer to [Advanced Part 8
KHManager]
14.1.2 HMI and PLC /Controller Serial Communication
Single HMI via the serial port with single PLC communication, but also support multiple serial communication protocol to
use the same or a different serial communication protocols PLC / controller communication.
In the same COM port, can connect multiple serial communication protocol and uses the same multi-point communication
PLC / controller can connect up to 255 devices. The serial communication protocols using different PLC / controller needs
were connected to the HMI different COM port, and can simultaneously and use three different serial communication
protocols PLC / controller communications, depending on the hardware configuration of the actual HMI decision.

COM0 and COM1 port supports RS485 interface mode, respectively simultaneously with multiple serial
communication protocol to use the same PLC / controller communication; The RS232 interface COM2
port supports only way, it does not support multiple PLC / controller communication

communication when the communication rate is less demanding, communication data is not used when a cheap and easy
means of communication. The main advantage of MPI communication CPU can establish communications with multiple
435

Kinco HMIware Configuration Edit Software

devices，Such as PG / PC programming, HMI device (PC) and the other PLC can be connected together to run
simultaneously. MPI interface using RS-485 physical interface mode, the transmission rate can be 19.2kbit / s or 187.5kbit /
s.
In Kinco HMI ware in, HMI software provided by SIEMENS S7-300/400 (MPI Direct) communications protocol, as the
master station and HMI MPI communication protocol support PLC / controller communications.

With PLC / HMI controller via MPI communication must be extended with Fieldbus Interface and is-MPI
model.

[Examples] Below two MT5320T-MPI (hereinafter referred HMI0 and HMI1) and two SIEMENS S7-300 (hereinafter
referred to PLC0 and PLC1) communications, for example, requires HMI0 monitoring PLC0 data on data block variables
DB10.DBW 10.

 In STEP7 Software Configure PLC side communication parameters
Create a New Project ， Under this project insert two PLC stations ， are STATION1(CPU315-2DP) and
STATION2(CPU315-2DP)，Respectively, to complete the hardware configuration into the CPU，Establish MPI network and
configure the MPI station address and baud rate，In this example, the MPI station addresses are set to No. 2 and No. 3, and
communication rate 187.5kbit / s.

1. Throughout the MPI network communication rate must be consistent and MPI station addresses cannot
conflict.
2. When the PLC with 4 or 4 above HMI communication, Need to set the [attributes] - [Communications]
to change the parameters of PG communication.
For example , CPU 315-2DP，CPU default PG communication number is 1 , OP communication for the 1,
S7 standard communication is 12, while the maximum number of connection resources 16; The number of
the previous three together is always more than the maximum number of connection resources 16 less two,
that means there are two shared an office for the first three, So S7 300 CPU is always maximum and three
HMI communication, cannot be even the first four，If you need to increase the number of connecting HMI,
just to reduce the number of S7 standard communication to further increase the number of PG
communication and keep three of the total does not exceed the maximum number of 16 connection
resources can be. To increase communication between the PLC, will have to increase the number of OP
communication.

 Configure DB data block
In the SIMATIC Manager to add the data block DB10, in this case the data required to monitor DB10.DBW 10, the
definition of a variable data block DB10, the need to define DB10.DBW 0 ~ DB10.DBW 14 or more variables.

1. Define data block variables, note: the variable data type to be set in the HMI data type.
Such as data type REAL, then the values in the HMI device data types required to single-precision
floating-point
2. Ensure that the data defined in the PLC HMI block variable than the actual use of the data block
variables and more.
For example, used in the HMI DB5.DBW32, the PLC cannot be defined only to DB5.DBW32, but defined
to DB5.DBW34 or DB5.DBW36 or more

 In Kinco HMIware topology window to configure the device and set the communication parameters

14.5 MODBUS Protocol Applications（Master-slave mode）
MODBUS protocol is a common language applied on the electronic controller. Over this protocol, between the controller,
the controller through the network (such as Ethernet), and other devices can communicate. Today, MODBUS protocol has
become a common industry standard by which different manufacturers of industrial control equipment can be connected into
the network, thereby performing centralized monitoring.
14.5.1 MODBUS Protocol Overview
Modbus is a request / response protocol, and provide services required by the function code.
Modbus protocol including ASCII, RTU, TCP, etc., does not require the physical layer. Protocol defines the controller can
recognize and use the message structure, regardless of what network they are communicating. The Modbus ASCII, RTU
protocol provides news, data structures, commands, and fluent manner , Data communication using Maser / Slave mode ,
Master station data request message, the slave receives the correct data can be sent after a message to the master station in
response to the request ; master can also be directly send message modify the data from a slave, two-way read and write.
MODBUS stipulates that only master station has the initiative, only a passive response from the slave, including answering
error message.
MT Series HMI Modbus protocol communications to achieve, follow the standard Modbus communication process:
Common data frame format is as follows：



Address code

Address field of a message frame contains two characters (ASCII) or 8Bit (RTU). Possible from the device address is 0 ...
247 (decimal). Single device address range is 1 ... 247. To contact master device through the slave device address into the
address field of the message to select from the device. When a message is sent from the device to respond, he put his address
in response to the address field in order to know which device is the master device to respond. Address 0 is used as the
broadcast address and all slave devices will recognize.


Function code

In the HMI system, commonly used function codes are as follows：

Write integer, character, status word, float（Write N Words）

Data Area

Data area contains the specific function of the terminal data needed to respond to queries or the terminal to collect data.
These data may be numeric, reference address or set values. For example：Function code tells terminal reads a register the
data area from which you need to specify the beginning and read the number of register data, the embedded addresses and
data types according to the contents of the slave varies.


Error correction code

Modbus protocol data needs to checksum, in addition to the serial protocol parity outside, ASCII mode uses the LRC parity,
RTU mode uses a 16-bit CRC checksum, TCP checksum mode without additional requirements.


Parity
Users can configure the controller is an odd or even parity, or no parity. This will determine the character of each parity
bit is how to set up.
If you specify an odd or even parity, "1" digit will count to the number of bits in each character (ASCII Mode 7 data bits,
RTU, 8 data bits). For example RTU character frame contains the following eight data bits：1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1；The whole
"1", the number is four。Such as the use even parity, the parity frame bit will be 0, so that the entire "1" bits remain is
four. If the odd parity, the parity frame bit will be 1, so that the entire "1" bits is 5. If no parity bit, no parity bit is
transmitted, nor checksum testing. Additional padding instead of stop bits to be transmitted character frame.



LRC Detect
Using ASCII mode, messages include methods based LRC error detection domains. LRC field testing except the
beginning of the message field colon and end carriage return line numbers outside content.
LRC field is a binary value that contains an 8-bit byte. LRC value calculated by the transmission device and into the
message frame, the receiving device receiving the message in the process of calculating LRC, and place it in the
message received LRC field value, and if the two values are unequal, there is an error.
LRC is the message of the continuous accumulation of bytes 8Bit, discarding the carry bit.
LRC Simple function as follows：
static unsigned char LRC(auchMsg,usDataLen)
unsigned char *auchMsg ; /* Message to be calculated */
unsigned short usDataLen ; /* LRC number of bytes to be processed */
{
unsigned char uchLRC = 0 ; /* LRC Byte Initialization */
while (usDataLen--) /* Send Message */
uchLRC += *auchMsg++ ; /* Cumulative */
return ((unsigned char)(-((char_uchLRC))) ;

440

Advanced Part HMI Communication

}


CRC Detect
Use RTU mode, the message including the method based on the CRC error detection fields. CRC field test the entire
contents of the message.
The CRC field is two bytes that contains a 16 bit binary value. Calculated by the transmission equipment was added to
the message. Receives the message receiving device recalculates the CRC, and with the received CRC value in the
field, and if the two values are different, then an error.
CRC added to messages, the low byte of the first to join, and then the high byte. CRC simple function as follows：
unsigned short CRC16(puchMsg, usDataLen)
unsigned char *puchMsg ; /*

the message to be CRC checksum */

unsigned short usDataLen ; /* The number of bytes in the message */
{

14.5.3 MODBUS Protocol in the HMI Application
In the HMI interface design applications, often encountered need to design their own microcontroller control board
communication situation. In this application environment, the MCU control system designers want a simple, stable and
reliable means of communication with the HMI to exchange data. The MODBUS protocol is achieved between the HMI and
the equipment master-slave communication mode most commonly used way.
Below microcontroller (hereinafter referred to as MCU) and HMI through MODBUS protocol (RTU transmission mode in
case) communication, for example, explains how to use MODBUS protocol communication between the HMI and the MCU.
Between the HMI and the MCU communication through MODBUS protocol mainly have the following two Master-slave
ways:
Master / Slave
HMI as Master device
MCU as Slave device

Using protocol
Modbus RTU

word (LW), the position (LB)

（1）HMI as Master, MCU as Slave (using the Modbus RTU protocol)
MCU and HMI using standard Modbus RTU protocol for communication, HMI as master, MCU for the slave side, the MCU,
you need to write the interrupt service routine to handle communication requests from HMI. MCU must support the standard
Modbus RTU protocol, while MCU must map out 0X, 1X, 3X, 4X registers (where 0X, 1X is bit register; 3X, 4X for the
word register)
The recommended communication parameter is 19200, data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. In addition to seven data bits protocol
support all settings other than combinations. Baud rate range from 1200-115200, with the flexibility to choose.


Communication processes

First, HMI sends a request to the MCU, MCU accepts the request, a response back to the HMI. MCU can access the HMI,
4X, 3X, 0X, 1X register; the address range is 1 to 65535.

1. MODBUS protocol is relatively complex, demanding overtime
2. In the communication process, HMI continuously sends request packets to MCU; MCU accepts the
request, the need to continue to give a response to the HMI. MCU's response is given using interrupt
mode; therefore, MCU's CPU usage is high. Most of the MCU's CPU resources consumed during the
communication response. Therefore, in practical applications need to be taken into account, if the MCU is
used in addition to doing communication functions, there are other response functions, HMI (Master)
MCU (Slave) using Modbus RTU protocol solution is not recommended, it is recommended to use HMI
(Slave) MCU (Master), using Modbus RTU Slave protocol solutions



HMI Power communication processes

When the HMI after power
（1）If the configuration page does not place any project component, the HMI will not send any communication packets
External
（2）If the configuration page placed engineering components and these components address types are local types (LW, RW,
RWI, LB, RB, RBI, LW.B), the HMI will not send any communication packets External

448

Advanced Part HMI Communication
（3）If the configuration page to place the component works, and these elements are not the local address type

for 0X, 1X,

3X, 4X, the HMI constantly scanning configuration page of these registers, and constantly sends communication data
packets
（4）When using the timer device batch write bit components (consecutive addresses transmission number greater than one)
when, HMI will be issued by the packet encapsulation function code: 0x0F
（5）When using the timer components word element bulk write (consecutive address transfer number greater than one)
when, HMI will be issued by the packet encapsulation function code: 0x10
（6）Using recipes components download operation (that is, the local word register in HMI RW data downloaded to the
MCU in the appropriate register, such as 4X).
When the download operation data length is greater than 1, HMI will be issued by the packet encapsulation function code:
0x10


Data communications package

Assuming HMI configuration screen is placed 25 0X register address type, starting address: 20, HMI station number is 1.
HMI send packets: ("H" indicates hexadecimal form)

HMI Communication parameter configuration

HMI Port parameter settings：

According to the actual physical connection mode selection set [Communication type].
Baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits setting must be connected to the MCU and the corresponding parameters consistent.
Other parameters are described below:

Protocol timeout 1

Inter-character timeout. HMI communication with the MCU in the process, if the communication
frame characters and the time interval between characters exceeds the set time interval, the HMI
think this communication process is completed, then, to deal with the communication data frame,
parse packets.
For Modbus protocol, baud rate calculation within the program should be based on an estimate.
As follows:
Protocol timeout 1 = 1.5*1000000*(1 + data bits + parity + stop bits) / baud + set adjust time bps
(baud rate);
Sample code (standard C language):
int speed_arr[] = { B115200, B57600, B38400, B19200, B9600, B4800, B2400, B1200,

6 Maintenance and Tending
This chapter mainly introduces the maintenance and inspection methods to prevent errors occur, so as to ensure the normal
use of the products.

Caution
Do not disassemble the host or touch any internal component in a powered state, otherwise electric

shock accidents may be leaded.

6.1 Maintenance
To ensure the HMI in an optimal state, please maintain the following items regularly:


Engineering data backup

Regularly backup engineering data and store it to safe place, to prevent engineering data loss when HMI malfunctions and
in need of repairment and parts replacement.


Backlight replacement

When the backlight darkens and is difficult to see clearly, then, the backlight should be replaced. The users cannot replace
the backlight privately.
When you need to replace the backlight, please contact your local dealer or representative offices.


Battery replacement

Some HMI models use button type Li-Mn batteries to save recipe data and system time when HMI powers off, when the
voltage of the battery is lower than 2.5V, then the battery should be replaced. Users could buy and replace the batteries
according to the specified specifications by themselves.
6.2 Tending


Screen tending

When the screen gathers dust or dirt, please disconnect the power supply for HMI, then, soak a piece of soft cloth in neutral
detergent and wring it to dry, and then wipe the screen gently.

Prohibition
1. Do not use paint thinner, organic solvent or strong acid mixture to clean the screen.
2. Do not use hard or sharp objects to operate or wipe the screen, otherwise, screen surface will be
damaged.



Periodic inspection

To ensure the HM in an optimal state, please inspect the following items regularly:
