Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1DOP 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.

1.2Features

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.

Chapter 1 Introduction|ScrEdit Software User Manual

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.

Chapter 1 Introduction|ScrEdit Software User Manual

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.

1.4Caution

Operation Environment (temperature and humidity)

HMI should be operated in the following environment parameters to adjust screen brightness and contrast to get the best image. If operating out of the range, LCD may be improperly displayed when using for long time.

Ambient Operating Temperature: 0 ºC to 50 ºC (32 ºF to 122 ºF) Relative Humidity: 10% ~ 90%, no condensation allowed

SM Card

SM card can be used to save and transmit data. Only SM card that formatted by HMI can be used on both HMI and Windows® OS system. (Even it can be read/written in some format, but faults may occur due to different format among Win95/98/2000/XP versions)

USB Flash Drive

USB flash drive can be used to save data. It also can be used to copy data from HMI and its format is FAT32. When using USB flash drive to save data, we recommend the user should enter system screen first and then remove the USB flash drive. Follow this process can ensure that the data is saved completely in USB flash drive.
