Overview

Application of
operating panels

Electronically controlled machines are usually supervised and controlled ”on
the spot”. Depending on the size and complexity of the machine or system,
the requirements for operator interface systems differ greatly.

Operator panels OP25/35/45 allow a realistic graphical display of the ma­chine or system under supervision and are designed for easy machine control.

With operator panels OP25/35/45 you can

 Control and supervise the process by means of menus – for example, you

can control setpoints or signal control elements by means of inputs, soft
keys, and function and system keys.

 Visualize processes, machines and systems as pixel or character graphics

images.

 Display event and alarm messages as well as process variables as an out-

put field, a bar graph, trends or a status display, for instance.

 Intervene in the process flow using the integrated keyboard.

System
configuration

Operator panels OP25, OP35 and OP45 are panel mounting devices for use
locally on the machine.

Due to the high degree of protection (IP65 at the front panel), the OP is also
suitable for hostile industrial environments.

Possible installation locations for the OPs are:

 Cabinets or panels
 19” cabinets or racks (OP35 and OP45 only)

The OP’s integrated interfaces permit it to be connected directly to control­lers.

A printer can also be added for hardcopies and listings.

1.2 Process Visualization and Manipulation

“One picture is worth a thousand words” goes the familiar saying.
This is particularly true of machine and system monitoring where it is impor-

tant to provide the operator with clear and easy-to-understand information
about the state of the process.

Product Description

Screens

Full graphic plant
screens

Bars, curves

Symbolic graphics

Process manipula­tion

Process values and process sequences are shown by screens which can con­tain graphics, texts and values. Process values in a system are often related
in some way. Screens show this relationship and thus represent an image of
the process.

The OP permits you to represent machines and plants as full graphic
screens. This improves operator orientation.

You can show current process values (e.g., filling level and speed) as numeric
values, or symbolically as text or bars.

Curves are a particularly good way to show changeable process values (e.g.,
changes in temperature) over a period of time.

Symbolic graphics are another way to indicate process values. Symbolic
graphics are graphic elements (i.e., bit maps) which are indicated alternately
to show different process states (e.g., valve open or closed).

The operator can use the OP’s integrated keyboard to intervene in the process
sequence.

For example, you can control actuators (e.g., valves) by specifying process
values (i.e., setpoints).

Features important to operator control include ease of handling, short training
periods, and a high degree of reliability.

You can configure the structure of the OP operating environment as desired
(i.e., you can tailor operator control to your particular application).

A few features:

 Free configurable function keys
 Softkeys
 Pop-up windows for symbolic entries

Product Description

Messages

Information texts

Recipes

Password protec­tion

Process or machine states (e.g., the current operating mode) are displayed by
the OP as plain-text event messages.

Alarm messages provide information on critical machine states.
Current measured values (e.g., temperatures, speeds, etc.) can also be in-

cluded in the text of event or alarm messages.
Event and alarm messages are stored with date and time in a message buffer.

At the same time, all event and alarm occurrences can be printed (if message
logging is switched on and a printer is connected).

Information texts can be configured. You can use them to give the operator
additional information which will help him/her to correct a malfunction.

Complete blocks of machine data can be stored as recipes on the OP.
The structure of a recipe is specified during the configuring phase. It makes

no difference whether the recipes are “real recipes” or only piece number
specifications, traversing paths or temperature progressions.

You can change or redefine recipe data directly on the OP.

The OP offers password protection. Each operator can be assigned a differ­ent password. A password level can then be used to enable or disable each
operator’s access to special operating functions. This prevents incorrect en­tries and improves system security.

Multiple languages

PG functions

All messages and texts for screens can be stored in the OP in up to three dif­ferent languages.

This permits international use even when operating personnel speak different
languages.

The “STATUS/FORCE VARIABLE” PG functions are available for testing
and trouble-shooting. They can be used on the OP to specify and change
address areas in the controller. This makes on-site troubleshooting fast even
without a programmer.

3.1 Keyboard

Overview

Function keys/
softkeys

The keyboard of the OP is equipped with two blocks of keys:

 The function keys/softkeys
 The system keys

A function key always triggers the same action in the OP or controller (i.e.,
global significance for the OP) regardless of which screen is currently open.
A few possible actions are listed below.

 Open a screen
 Indicate the current alarm messages
 Start a hardcopy of a screen
 Indicate the time window

The term softkey means that function keys can have a meaning related to the
currently open screen (i.e., local).

The function of a softkey can vary from screen to screen. When a screen is
open, a softkey’s function is shown by an icon in the margin of the monitor
screen.

The following keys can have softkey functionality:

 For OP25: F1 to F14

Repeat function
(for OP45 only)

 For OP35/OP45: F1 to F20

The repeat function activates when a key is repeatedly pressed.

Note

Do not press several keys on the OP45 at the same time. This can cause incor­rect entries.

3.2 Input/Output Fields

Using the OP

Overview

Procedure

Correcting/cancel­ing entries

The screens on the OP contain different types of input/output fields.

 Numeric fields (digital or analog)
 String fields
 Symbolic fields

Values can be entered on the OP in these input fields which are then transferred
to the controller.

The basic procedure for entering values on the OP is described below.

1. Using the cursor keys, position the cursor on the desired input field.

2. Enter the value. The method of entry varies depending on the type of field.
See the following subsections for information on handling the individual
fields.

3. Confirm the entry with with ENTER key.

The following methods of correction are available before the entry is applied.

 Using the INS/DEL key, insert/delete single characters where the cursor is

positioned. Then use the ENTER key to confirm the correct value.

 Cancel the entry with the ESC key.

Edit mode
(OP25/35 only)

The original value is then automatically rewritten in the field. Enter the
correct value, and confirm with the ENTER key.

An edit function is available on the OP25/35. This edit function can be used to
edit entries which have already been applied.

1. Position the cursor on the desired input field.

2. Activate edit mode by pressing the INS/DEL key.
In contrast to input mode, the indicated value is retained.

3. Move the cursor to the appropriate position of the input field.

4. Using the INS/DEL key, insert/delete characters where the cursor is posi­tioned.

5. Confirm the entry with the ENTRY key.
The entry can be canceled with the ESC key. The old value is indicated

again.
