Chapter 4 Hardware Settings 4.1 I/O Ports of HMI The I/O ports are different form one HMI type to another. Download/ Upload project via SD Card, including Recipe transfer, Event Log, Data Log etc and to backup or record History data. Connects PLC or other peripheral devices. RS-232 / RS-485 2W/4W RS-422 = RS-485 4W Connects Ethernet devices, such as PLC, laptop, for exchanging data via Network. Supports USB devices, such as mouse, keyboard, USB disk, printer Download/ Upload project including Recipe transfer, Event Log, Data Log etc. In addition, Weintek provides [MT8-COM1 Multi-Connector cable] and [MT8-COM3 Multi-Connector cable] to expand one COM port to multiple independent COM ports so that the convenience and efficiency of operation can be improved. 2
4.2 HMI System Settings Hardware Settings For the first time operating HMI, users have to complete the HMI system settings. After this, users can develop their own operation interface through EasyBuilder Pro editing software. 4.2.1 System Reset Each HMI is equipped with a set of reset button and DIP switch. When using DIP switch to change modes, the corresponding functions will be triggered. If system password is lost or forgotten, please set DIP Switch 1 to ON and the rest remain OFF, then reboot HMI. HMI will switch to touch screen calibration mode. 1. A + sign appears on the screen, touch the center of the sign, after all 5 signs are touched, + disappears and the touch screen parameter will be stored in HMI system. 2. After calibration, confirm to restore the system password to the default, select [YES]. 3. Confirm to restore to default password again by typing [yes] and clicking [OK]. The project files and history records stored in HMI will all be removed. (The default password is 111111. However, other passwords, including download/upload passwords have to be reset.) The above shows the steps to restore factory settings of T and i Series HMI. For X Series, users will need a connected USB keyboard, and press any key (or space key) right when the first image displayed as HMI power ON to enter the menu. Select "Factory Mode", the window mentioned will pop up when system displays project. In case users may miss the very first image shown, to press space key continuously since HMI power ON will ensure entering the system setting window. SW1 SW2 SW3SW4 Mode ON OFF OFF OFF Touch screen calibration mode (X Series excluded) OFF ON OFF OFF Hide system toolbar (T Series excluded) OFF OFF ON OFF Boot loader mode (X Series excluded) OFF OFF OFF ON Enable front panel power switch (X Series only) OFF OFF OFF OFF Normal 3
4.2.2 System Toolbar After rebooting HMI, users can set the system with System Toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Normally, this bar is hidden automatically. Only by touching the target at the bottom-right corner of the screen will the System Toolbar pops up. How to hide HMI System Setting Toolbar EasyBuilder Pro supports the function of using system tag [LB-9020] to enable/disable system setting bar, or set the [DIP Switch 2] to ON/OFF for activating this function. When [LB-9020] is set ON, the bar is displayed, and set OFF to hide the system setting bar. When [DIP Switch 2] is set ON, the system setting bar is disabled, and when set OFF; the system setting bar is able to control. Users have to restart HMI to enable/disable this function. Note: [LB-9020] is available for all HMI series. [DIP Switch 2] is available for i and X Series. Text Keyboard Number Keyboard Screen Calibration shortcut, X Series only, for other series, turn SW1 to ON. When X Series touch screen drifting problem occurs, please connect an USB mouse to select this mode. 4.2.3 System Information Network: Display network information & HMI IP.
