DOP Series Human Machine Interface Features and Introduction
DOP Series Human Machine 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.
PLC Serial Drives Support
DOP series HMI’s support more than twenty brands of PLC’s, including Delta, Omron, Siemens, Mitsubishi, etc.
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.
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.
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.
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
