DESCRIPTION

Model GL300T Operator Terminal combines unique capabilities normally
expected only from expensive SCADA packages, with dramatic ease of use. The
GL300T is configured using the same powerful EDICT 97 Software as all Red
Lion Paradigm Operator Interfaces. The results are savings in time to get
challenging applications up and running, and frequent savings in hardware costs
due to replacing many functions usually performed in separate expensive devices.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use this unit to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators
not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or
equipment in the event of a fault to the unit.

PROGRAMMABILITY

Event Driven Configuration Tool

Edict 97, an extremely powerful Windows®95/3.11 based software program,
provides for the intuitive configuration of every aspect of the operator
interface’s behavior. The requirement for time consuming PLC ladder logic is
drastically reduced by the unique event driven approach of EDICT 97. The
capability of this program, in conjunction with the PLC and the Paradigm
operator interface unit, ensures a great deal of advanced functionality for your
system. This powerful PLC/Paradigm system provides many of the capabilities
and features normally associated with the more complicated and costly
PC/SCADA systems. Display pages are easily generated, including PLC and
internal variables, text strings, or bar charts. All dynamic elements are also
available as alarms, recipes, triggers, and reports for the run time software. After
completion of the programming, the program is directly downloaded to the
operator interface from your PC, without any compiling or saving requirement.
When you require a change in your program, EDICT 97 loads only the change,
not the entire program, saving valuable on-line time.

DYNAMIC DISPLAY PAGE ELEMENTS

Each display page has provisions to show static and dynamic information,
including data variables, text messages, time, and date.

Data Variables can be either PLC derived or internally generated, either in data

entry or display only mode. The Paradigm unit has an extremely powerful

math capability, allowing the operator to manipulate the variables to meet the

specific application’s demands. If required, the display can be formatted to

BCD, binary, hex, floating point, and string. Upper and lower limits of data

entry variables are fully supported and password protected.

Text Message Animation enables several different types of animated text from

a local or global message table to be displayed. The message displayed is

dependent on the condition of the particular controlling expression. The

controlling expression may be a PLC bit level, a timer value, preset counter

condition, or any one of a wide variety of message triggers.

Time and Date in the Paradigm unit has the capability to display in any

combination of year, month, day, hours, minutes, and seconds.

Bar Graphs in horizontal format are easily attached to data variables. The partial

or full length bar graph displays can be scaled and offset to optimize the

required display effect.

SECURITY

The password protection scheme provides the ultimate in tamper-proof
capability. Access can be limited on a unit, page, recipe, or even individual data
entries.

ALARMS

The Paradigm unit can monitor and log up to 500 alarms. Such triggers as a
simple bit level transition, a PLC coil activation, or a complex application
algorithm can activate an alarm. The alarms can be time and date stamped, with
an automatic screen display and/or downloading to a printer for hard copy
recording purposes.

RECIPE HANDLING

Recipe handling in the Paradigm Operator Interfaces can be tailored to your
requirements. Using the “Data Files” section of Named Data, one can set up
arrays with meaningful titles, and select, edit, and maintain, recipe data up to
8000 elements per file. In conjunction with User Programs, and the flexible data
displays, the operator can select desired recipe, by number or by title, and either
upload from, or download to, the target system. All the functions of EDICT 97
are available, so the programmer can password protect the editing of the recipes
and allow for the transfer of data from a host system.

REAL TIME SCHEDULE

Real time schedule allows for repetitive or one time tasks to take place in the
system. Typically a schedule action similar to...At 1:55 PM on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday print the production report...is required in the
application. In conjunction with the recipe capabilities, a downloading of a
special recipe can be requested by the real time schedule feature.

MULTIPLE LANGUAGE SUPPORT

This powerful feature allows users to program the text in their databases in
up to 8 different languages. A system variable entry makes it easy for end users
to select one of the preprogrammed languages. EDICT 97 features powerful
language editing tools for easy implementation.

USER PROGRAMS

This feature offers the user the ability to incorporate custom application
requirements via a powerful program language. For example, a program
designated “Calculate Volume,” which determines the amount of fluid in a round
tank at specific temperatures, could be created. This program would be triggered
to run and display each time the page denoted as “Volume Now” is requested.
The ability to customize to your application’s specialized needs is easily solved
with the user program capability.
