Applications of
OP7 and OP17

Operator
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 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.

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

Screens

Event messages

Data supplied by the PLC may be displayed together on a screen and modi
fied individually
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 illus
trate the current machine state.

The OP7 and OP17 are Operator Panels with text based displays. Accordin
gly

, a screen on the display comprises text items which may include static

text and current state values.
Screens may be combined on the OP in a directory

to display

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,

Recipes

Help text

The classification of a message as an alarm message is made at the configu

ration stage.

When a product is made up of various ingredients in certain ratios, this infor
mation 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 tags in a recipe.

Each recipe can be made up of several data records containing dif

ferent va

-

lues 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.

Help text consists of configurable additional information and operator in
structions relating to event messages, alarm messages and screens. If for ex

-

-
ample an alarm message arises, this enables additional information on how to
eliminate faults to be displayed.

Help text can also be displayed by pressing a key

Time response of
data updating

With

the OP7 and the OP17, updated and newly created data are stored in a

non-volatile flash memory

. This means that current data are immediately

available following an OP re-start.
The flash memory cannot be accessed while data are being updated, and the

OP cannot be operated. The update rate is determined by the time response of
the delete and write cycles of the flash memory

. For technological reasons,

this rate is slower than the access time for volatile memories.
A system message is output to the OP while data updating is in progress.
