Chapter 1 — Introduction

HMi Series Human Machine Interface

HMi is manufactured by adopting high-speed hardware to provide a powerful and programmable

interface. HMisoft software is a user-friendly program editor of HMi for Windows. Refer to the following
section for an introduction to its features and functions. If you have any suggestions or comments on
HMisoft software, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to serving your needs and are
willing to offer our best support and service to you.

Features

●

PLC Serial Drivers Support
HMi supports more than 20 brands of PLC, including Rockwell, Omron, Siemens, Mitsubishi, etc. All of

the newly supported PLC communication protocols can be found on our website
(http://www.EatonElectrical.com) for upgrades to meet your requirements. (All other trademarks in this
manual are property of their respective companies.)

●

Windows Fonts Support
Simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese and English are supported. HMisoft software also provides all

fonts used by Windows®.

●

Quick Execution and Communication Macro
HMisoft handles complicated calculations by executing macros. Additionally, users can create a custom

protocol via the COM port.

●

Rapid USB Upload/Download
HMisoft shortens the upload/download time by using USB Ver1.1.

●

Recipes
HMi provides a useful recipe editor that is similar to Microsoft Excel. Multiple recipes can be edited

simultaneously (size limit is 64K). If you need to download multiple recipes simultaneously, HMi can
swap internal memory. After you finish editing the recipes, you can download the recipes individually.

●

Support Multiple PLCs Connections
Connect to multiple controllers using the HMi’s three communications ports.

If a PC is connected to an HMi, then the HMi on-line simulation feature allows users to develop and
debug software on a PC connected to HMi before downloading to HMi.

●

Off-line Simulation
The HMi off-line simulation feature allows users to develop and debug software on a stand-alone PC

before downloading to HMi.

●

Multiple Security Protection
HMi provides passwords to protect the designer’s intellectual property rights and also for users to set

user priority for important components. Only the users whose priority is higher than the component can
use the component.

●

USB Host Port (USB Host) Equipped
HMi has a built-in USB Host interface for the connection to USB disk, card reader and printer with a USB

socket. You can save data, copy a program, print the screen immediately and increase the data storage
space.

Full Screen Full screen provides maximum view to edit in HMi. Full screen view hides all toolbars

and docking windows other than the HMi work place itself.

I/O Screen I/O screen provides maximum view to edit in HMi similar to Full screen. The difference

is that the I/O Screen shows the read and write addresses of the element and also
shows the referenced macro command.

Grid Setup Grid Setup is a function that can help you to align and position the element easily and

precisely. You can set the distance (spacing) between the grid dots.

Show Grid: Show the grid dots on the screen.

Snap to Grid: Make the elements snap to the grid so that the elements can cross
between the grid lines when you move them.

Cross
Reference
Ta bl e

When creating and editing various kinds of elements, often the same address is re­used. To avoid this situation, HMi provides the cross reference table function for your
convenience and quick reference. You can view the read/write addresses of the
selected element and see its relationship or connection with the addresses of other
elements, macro commands or the system control area. The first row of the cross
reference table displays the referred element that you selected. The following rows
display the elements which have the same write address. You can double-click a
specific row and HMi switches to the corresponding screen of the referred address.
