For information about [Project], [RW / RW_A], [Recipe database] or [Data log], see “2.4.1
Download” in this chapter.
Note
The file will be uploaded to PC in .exob format. Please decompile it into editable .emtp file
first and open the .emtp file in Crouzet Touch Soft.
To upload the historical files saved in the external device, please use FTP. See “32 FTP
Server Application” for more information.
2.5. Simulation
Off-line Simulation / On-line Simulation
Off-line simulation: Simulate project operation on PC without any connection.
On-line simulation: Simulate project operation on PC and PLCs are directly connected with PC.
Note
When using [On-line simulation] on PC, if the target device is a local PLC (the PLC directly
connected to PC), there is a 10 minutes simulation limit.
Before executing On-line/Off-line Simulation, please select the source .exob file.
When executing On-line/Off-line Simulation, right click to use these functions:

2.6. Pass-Through
This function allows the PC application to connect PLC via HMI. In this case, the HMI works like a
converter.
Pass-through provides two modes: [Ethernet] and [COM port].
When using [Ethernet], please install the virtual serial port driver first.
For more detail, please refer to “Chapter 29 Pass-Through Function”.

Create an Crouzet Touch Soft Project
This chapter explains the basic steps to create an Crouzet Touch Soft project.
3.1. Overview
The following is the process of creating a project.
1. Create a new project file.
2. Save and compile the project file.
3. Run On-line or Off-line simulation.
4. Download the project file to HMI.
The following describes each process.
3.2. Create a New Project File
1. Launch Crouzet Touch Soft and open a new file.
2. Select [Model] and select [Use template] check box. Cilck OK
3. Click [New] to add a device.

4. Configure parameters.
5. A new device is added to the [Device List].
6. Create an object, take Toggle Switch as an example, and set the address.

3.3. Save and Compile the Project File
1. In Crouzet Touch Soft toolbar click [File] » [Save] to save the .emtp file.
2. In Crouzet Touch Soft toolbar click [Tools] » [Compile] to compile .emtp file as .exob file,
which could be downloaded to HMI. This also checks if the project can run correctly.
3. To use multiple languages, all languages must be configured in Label Tag Library first.
When downloading the project to HMI, select the needed languages only. A successful
compilation is shown in the following figure.
3.4. Run On-Line or Off-Line Simulation
Off-line simulation: Simulate project operation on PC without connecting any device.
On-line simulation: Simulate project operation on PC without downloading the project to
HMI. The PLC is connected to PC, please set correct parameters.
Note
When using On-line Simulation on PC, if the target device is the PLC directly connected to
PC, there is a 10-minute simulation limit.

Description
Runtime
Select the check box to update the HMI kernel programs.
If this is the first time downloading file or Crouzet Touch
Soft version is updated, please download the firmware
before downloading files to HMI.
3.5. Download the Project File to HMI
The following explains four ways to download the project file to HMI.
Note
When download project file to HMI using mini USB cable, please do not connect PLC
simultaneously, in order to avoid noise from PLC interfering with HMI.
Configure in Crouzet Touch Soft
1. In Crouzet Touch Soft toolbar, click [Tools] » [Download]. Make sure that all the settings
are correct.
2. Select [Ethernet], set password and HMI IP.

Font files
Download the font used in the project.
Use user-defined startup screen
Use the picture selected by user as the startup screen.
The picture format must be .bmp.
Use system settings file
Download the system settings file to update hardware
settings.
Synchronize HMI clock with PC
Synchronize HMI time with PC time when downloading
project file.
Delete existing user accounts, e­Mail contacts and SMTP settings
Select the check box to delete existing user accounts, e-
Mail contacts or SMTP settings before downloading the
project. This setting is only effective when one of the
following settings is enabled:
1. [System Parameter Settings] » [Security] » [Enhanced
security mode] » [Use existing user accounts on HMI
first (if existed), Othrewise, use settings below].
2. [System Parameter Settings] » [e-Mail] » [Use existing
user accounts on HMI first (if existed), Othrewise, use
settings below].
Reset recipe/ event log/ data sampling/ recipe database/ operation log/ string table/ user-defined startup screen
The selected files will be erased before downloading.
Reboot HMI after download
HMI will reboot after the downloading process is done.
Automatically using current settings to download after compiling
The system will compile the project and download it to
the latest target HMI. The way to enable this function is
described in the following part.
Note
1. In Crouzet Touch Soft toolbar, click [Option] » [Preferences].
2. Select [Automatic save and compile when download and simulate] check box.

3. In Crouzet Touch Soft toolbar, click [Save] and then [Download].
4. In the dialog box, select [Automatically using current settings to download after
compiling] check box.
5. Click [Download].
6. When finished, next time when [Download] is clicked, Crouzet Touch Soft will
automatically compile and download the project to the latest target HMI.
Use HMI Name
1. Go to [System settings] on HMI and then set HMI name first.
2. On PC, select the HMI name and start downloading. To use [Search], enter the HMI name
first to search for the HMI. [Search all] searches for all HMIs in the same subnet network.
