• DO NOT connect control terminal strip return marked CC to earth ground.
• Always ground the unit to prevent electrical shock and to help reduce
• Installation, operation, and maintenance shall be performed by Qualified
Personnel Only.
• A thorough understanding of the OIS will be required before the installation,
operation, or maintenance of the OIS.
• Rotating machinery and live conductors can be hazardous and shall not
come into contact with humans. Personnel should be protected from all
rotating machinery and electrical hazards at all times. Depending on its
program, the OIS can initiate the start and stop of rotating machinery.
• Insulators, machine guards, and electrical safeguards may fail or be
defeated by the purposeful or inadvertent actions of workers. Insulators,
machine guards, and electrical safeguards are to be inspected (and tested
where possible) at installation and periodically after installation for potential
hazardous conditions.
• Do not allow personnel near rotating machinery. Warning signs to this
effect shall be posted at or near the machinery.
UMAN/OIS
• Do not allow personnel near electrical conductors. Human contact with
electrical conductors can be fatal. Warning signs to this effect shall be
posted at or near the hazard.
• Personal protection equipment shall be provided and used to protect
employees from any hazards inherent to system operation or maintenance.
System Setup Requirements
• When using the OIS as an integral part of a larger system, it is the
responsibility of the OIS installer or maintenance personnel to ensure that
there is a fail-safe in place (i.e., an arrangement designed to switch the
system to a safe condition if there is a fault or failure).
• System safety features should be employed and designed into the
integrated system in a manner such that system operation, even in the
event of system failure, will not cause harm or result in personnel injury or
system damage (i.e., E-Off, Auto-Restart settings, System Interlocks, etc.).
• The programming setup and system configuration of the OIS may allow it
to start a motor unexpectedly. A familiarity with Auto-restart settings is a
requirement to use this product.
• Improperly designed or improperly installed system interlocks may render
the motor unable to start or stop on command.
• The failure of external or ancillary components may cause intermittent
system operation, i.e., the system may start a motor without warning or
may not stop on command.
• There may be thermal or physical properties, or ancillary devices
integrated into the overall system that may allow the OIS to start a motor
without warning. Signs at the equipment installation must be posted to this
effect.
• The operating controls and system status indicators should be clearly
readable and positioned where the operator can see them without
obstruction.
• Additional warnings and notifications shall be posted at the equipment
installation location as deemed required by Qualified Personnel.
The following precautions are provided as general guidelines for using an OIS
in an industrial or process control system.
• The Toshiba OIS is a general-purpose product. It is a system component
and is used in conjunction with other items of industrial equipment such as
PLCs, Loop Controllers, Adjustable Speed Drives, etc.
• A detailed system analysis and job safety analysis should be
performed by the systems designer or systems integrator before
including the OIS in any new or existing system. Contact Toshiba for
options availability and for application-specific system integration
information if required.
• The OIS may be used to control an adjustable speed drive connected to
high voltage sources and rotating machinery that is inherently dangerous if
not operated safely. Interlock all energy sources, hazardous locations,
and guards in order to restrict the exposure of personnel to hazards. The
adjustable speed drive may start the motor without warning. Signs at the
equipment installation must be posted to this effect. A familiarity with Autorestart settings is a requirement when controlling adjustable speed drives.
Failure of external or ancillary components may cause intermittent system
operation, i.e., the system may start the motor without warning or may not
stop on command. Improperly designed or improperly installed
system interlocks and permissives may render a motor unable to
start or stop on command
UMAN/OIS
• Control through serial communications can fail or can also override local
controls, which can create an unsafe condition. System safety features
should be employed and designed into the integrated system in a manner
such that system operation, even in the event of system failure, will not
cause harm or result in personnel injury or system damage. Use of the
built-in system protective features and interlocks of the equipment being
controlled is highly recommended (i.e., emergency-off, overload protection,
etc.)
•Never use the OIS units to perform emergency stops. Separate
switches outside the OIS, the PLC, and the ASD should be used for
emergency stops.
• Changes or modifications to the OIS program should not be made without
the approval of the system designer or systems integrator. Minor changes
or modifications could cause the defeat of safety interlocks and
permissives. Any changes or modifications should be noted and included
with the system documentation.
Thank you for purchasing OIS EV3 Series Products from Toshiba International
Corp.. OIS Series Products are versatile operator interfaces with Microsoft
Windows based configuration Software.
This Manual explains the operation of the OIS Series and how to implement
available features using the OIS32 Soft-ware. This manual will help you to install,
configure and operate your OIS product.
1.1.1 OIS Basics
Operator Interface Terminals (OISs) provide much more versatility than traditional
mechanical control panels. An OIS allows a plant floor operator to monitor current
conditions of a control system and, if necessary, to initiate a change in the operation of the system. OISs connect to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) typically
through the serial communications port. The OIS can be programmed to monitor
and/or change current values stored in the data memory of the PLC.
UMAN/OIS
OISs can have either text or graphics based displays. A text based OIS can
display printable text characters but can not print graphics.
Some OISs use touch screen displays while others use a PCB based keypad. PCB
based keypads are best used in applications in which the keypad is likely to
become dirty. A touch screen OIS provides much more flexibility than typical PCB
based keypad displays. Keys can be created in a touch screen OIS that can be
made visible only when needed. The OIS Series OISs are available in both text
display based OIS and graphics display based OISs.
What is a Project?
A project is an user created application in OIS32 Software. A project contains
information such as OIS model, Network Configuration, Screen information, Task
information et c.
What is a Screen?
A screen is a visual representation of objects placed on the OIS screen. Any
partially sized window is usually referred to as a popup screen or window. The user
can create his customized screen according to his requirements. Popup wind ows
can also appear on the OIS display by pressing buttons on the touch screen . The
maximum number of screens in an application is only limited by the application
memory size. A more in depth discussion on screens is covered in chapter 4.
What is an Object?
An object placed on OIS screen can perform actions such as displaying text
messages, writing a value to a PLC register, or displaying an alarm. An object can
be classified as a text or graphical object.
A text object is used to display the text on the OIS and can also used to perform
some action. For example, a data entry object tells the OIS to continuously monitor
a PLC register and allows the user to change the value in the register. Some
objects can display graphics whose shape depends on the value of a register.
These objects may also change the value of a PLC tag. An example is a Bit Button
Object that creates a graphic object on the OIS. When pressed, it activates a bit in
the PLC.
1.1.2 Hardware Requirements
The following basic PC hardware configuration is needed to configure and operate your
OIS32 Software.

These are the minimum system requirements for a computer running the OISetup32 software.
OIS provide Human-Machine Interface to the Pr ogrammable L ogic Cont roller. These OISs
communicate with PLCs using their serial communications ports.
Configuration of OIS:
Each OIS unit has to be configured using the OISetup32 Software before connecting it to the PLC.
Normal Operation:
UMAN/OIS
Connect OIS unit to PLC using the correct PLC-OIS cable. The OIS can communicate with any
device without making any additional hardware settings on the unit.
OIS series models are Human Machine Interfaces with optional Input/Output capability. OISs with
Input/Output capability are termed as HIO. OIS series OISs can be powered either from the PLC or from an
external power supply. PLC powered units are referred to as IOP, whereas externally powered units are
referred to as OIS. HIO units can not be powered from a PLC. HIO models can be externally from a DC or
AC source.
OIS models need +24VDC power from an external supply. HIO can either be external +24VDC powered or
85-265, 50/ 60Hz VAC powered.
Models included in the OIS Series are as follows:
OIS40/40R OIS50 OIS55 OIS60 OIS120
The functionality of OIS and HIO products is exactly the same. The only difference between a OIS
product and an HIO product is the addition of real I/O to the HIO unit. A OIS application can be
downloaded to a corresponding HIO model. All of the OIS EV3 series models have ladder functionality
built in.
All OIS EV3 series models have two serial communication ports. They can communicate with two
different PLCs simultaneously.
