Applications of
OP5 and OP15

Operator Panels OP5 and OP15 allow operating states, current process values
and malfunctions of a connected PLC to be visualized. In addition, inputs can
be made on the OP which can be written directly to the PLC. Some functions
relating to machine diagnostics can also be executed on the Operator Panel.

The Operator Panels are suitable for fitting into switching cabinets and con­trol desks. A printer can be attached to the OP for logging processes during
automation operation.

The Operator Panels feature a number of standard functions. The displays
and operation of the devices can be optimized by the configurer to meet the
requirements of the process.

1.1 Configuration and process control phases

Creating data
areas

Configuration with
ProTool/Lite

Before an OP can go into service, it has to be prepared for its job of visualiz­ing data from the PLC, i.e. it has to be configured. As far as the PLC is con­cerned, data areas used by the OP to communicate with the PLC have to be
created in the memory.

The configuration for the OP is created on a computer (PC/PU) using Pro­T ool/Lite configuration software under Microsoft Windows
configuration is ready, it is transferred to the OP. Before this can be done,
however, the computer has to be connected to the Operator Panel. Following
transfer of the configuration, the OP has to be connected to the PLC.

TM

. When the

The OP now communicates with the PLC and reacts to program flows on the
PLC on the basis of the configured requirements.

The following illustration depicts the configuration and process control
phases de scribed above:

for display is required to comprise static and variable components, the vari­ables have to be configured and the static text for explaining the variables has
to be entered – for example:

Temperature

Variable_xx

C of Furnace 1

Further
information

Here, Temperature C of Furnace 1 is the static text and

able_xx

is the variable that is read from the memory area of the PLC.

You will find information on configuring the OP in the ProTool/ Lite User’ s
Guide. The Communications User’ s Guide provides information on connect-

ing the OP to the PLC.

1.2 Functions of an Operator Panel

Product Description

Display and
control functions

Screens

The basic functions of an OP consist in displaying process states and in con­trol ling the process. The following display and control functions can be con­figured on Operator Panels OP5 and OP15:

 screens
 event messages
 alarm messages
 recipes
 information text
 logging
 languages.

Data supplied by the PLC may be displayed together on a screen and modi­fied individually , if required. A screen consists of several screen entries
since, for example, more related data are required for describing a machine
state than can normally be displayed in the window of a screen. Therefore
data on operating temperature, fill level, speed and running time can illus­trate the current machine state.

The OP5 and OP15 are line displays. Accordingly, a screen on the display
comprises text items which may include static text and current state values.

Event messages

Alarm messages

Screens may be combined on the OP in a directory. You can use the directory
to display, print and edit screens.

Event messages are information and operating notes on current machine and
process states during regular production operations. Event messages may
contain process values. Process values are displayed either numerically – for
example,

Motor running at 3000 revs

or symbolically – for example,

Motor running normally,

where a specific control value is assigned to normally.
The classification of a message as an event message is done at the configura-

tion stage.

Alarm messages show, in contrast to event messages, critical machine states
dur ing production operations. Due to their urgency, they have to be acknowl­edged before any other action is possible.

Manual OP5, OP15
( ) J31069-D0840-U001-A2-7618

1-3

Product Description

Alarm messages may contain process values. Process values are displayed
either numerically – for example

Motor speed 4500

or symbolically – for example

Motor speed too high,

where a specific control value is assigned to too high.
This type of message has a higher display priority than an event message. If

an alarm message is issued, any event message or screen that is being dis­played is replaced with a flashing alarm on the display.

The classification of a message as an alarm message is made at the configu­ration stage.

Recipes

Information text

Logging

When a product is made up of various ingredients in certain ratios, this infor­mation is stored in a so–called recipe.

T ake orange juice for example. Its production and bottling requires that
orange concentrate and water be mixed in a certain ratio. These values are
stored as variables in a recipe.

Each recipe can be made up of several data records containing different val­ues for the recipe.

The data can be edited in the OP, transferred to the PLC and read out from
the PLC.

In the OP, the recipes are combined by recipe number and title in a recipe
directory .

Information text is additional information and hints for operators referring to
the current display on the screen (event messages, alarm messages and
screens). This means that additional troubleshooting information can be dis­played when, for instance, an alarm message is issued.

Information text can also be displayed by pressing a key, if required, when
the LED of the HELP key is on.

Messages can be printed in online mode by means of the printer connected to
the OP. Furthermore, there is a possibility of printing all the event and alarm
messages that have accumulated in the buffer concerned.

Languages

Message text, screens, information text and system messages may be dis­played in several languages. Up to three of the languages listed below can be
loaded simultaneously on the same OP and presented to the operator for
selection on line:

 German
 English
 French
 Italian
 Spanish.

For the OP15/C, displays can be configured in Russian, i.e. in Cyrillic char­acters.

Loading a
configuration

Using standard
screens

Once the operating voltage has been connected, you have to load a configura­tion into the OP so that you can operate it. The OP is in Transfer mode until a
configuration is loaded.

The configuration software supplied to you, ProT ool/Lite, includes a configu­ration which contains standard screens. You can choose all the functions re­quired for operating the OPs by using these standard screens. The different
functions are described in this manual with reference to the standard screens.

3.1 Operating Levels

Message level and
screen level

In OP operation, you have to distinguish between two distinct operating le­vels, between which you can switch:

 Message level

At the message level, current messages are displayed.

 Screen level

At the screen level, functions are chosen, serviced and executed.

The message level is the highest level on the OP. At message level, waiting
event messages, alarm messages and system messages are displayed. After
the OP starts up, it changes to message level and displays the ”standby mes­sage”.

The screen level is reached by pressing the ENTER key. The first screen to
be called is the ”start” screen. From the start screen you branch, depending
on the configuration, to other screens. On the screens, you view current pro­cess values, can enter values and initiate functions by means of soft keys.

Screen hierarchy

Manual OP5, OP15
( ) J31069-D0840-U001-A2-7618

The linking of individual screens is referred to as a ”screen hierarchy”. If you
go to the bottom of the screen hierarchy, you go back one stage by pressing
key ESC, right back to the start screen should you wish. From here you can
return to the message level by pressing the ESC key. You can also return di­rectly to the message level from a screen, depending on the configuration.

Using the OP with Its Standard Functions

Changing operat­ing levels

Forced change to
message level

You change the operating level

 from message level to screen level by pressing the ENTER key,
 from screen level to message level by pressing the ESCAPE key.

Figure 3-1 illustrates how you can change from one operating level to another.
You cannot branch backward from the message level by pressing ESCAPE. The

key is designed to terminate the display of a system message at this level.

Figure 3-1 Changing between Message Level and Screen Level

You exit from the screen level automatically whenever a system message or
an alarm message is waiting to be displayed. The OP then changes to mes­sage level to display the message. You cannot exit from the message level
while a system message or unacknowledged alarm message is being dis­played. The display of an unacknowledged alarm message is indicated on the
OP by the

You acknowledge an alarm message by pressing the ACK key. You hide a
system message by pressing the ESCAPE key.

Once the alarm message has been acknowledged or the system message
cleared, the OP returns to the point from which it changed to the message
level.

3.2 Standard Screens

Using the OP with Its Standard Functions

Basic operations
with standard
screens

Functions on
standard screens

The standard screens contain functions that are fundamental to OP operation.
They include, for instance, calling and printing message buffers, editing pass­words and modifying parameters in online mode. Process-specific imple­mentations, such as event messages or screens for the process, are not inclu­ded.

Standard screens are called from a basic screen by means of a soft key. From
the basic screen, a jump is made to the following screens:

 Alarm messages

At this point the alarm buffer is called, printed or deleted.

 Event messages

At this point the event buffer is called, printed or deleted.

 Screens

At this point the screen directory is called to edit or print screens. All the
screens which were given the ”directory” attribute are listed here. If you
still have not created any screens of your own, the directory will be
empty .

 Data records

At this point you can set up and edit data records. You can also transfer
data records from the OP to the PLC and back.

 System settings

At this point you can modify settings in online mode. This includes, for
example, printer parameters, interface parameters, mode, and language
changing.

 Status variable

 Force variable

 Edit password

Figure 3-2 shows an overview of the screen hierarchy of standard screens.
You will find detailed information on functions and handling standard screens
in the relevant chapters of this manual.

Manual OP5, OP15
( ) J31069-D0840-U001-A2-7618

At this point the PU function STATUS VAR is called; you can use it to
display PLC operands.

At this point the PU function FORCE VAR is called; you can use it to
display and modify PLC operands.

At this point the superuser assigns passwords for the different password
levels. Furthermore, login and logout are included here.
