1.1 How to delete the task bar work button on the touch screen?
Set "Edit/Set System Parameters/General/Work Button/Properties" to "Close".
1.2 What does RS485 DEFAULT/RS485 2W/RS485 4W mean in the communication port type?
RS485 2W means the wiring method, that is, two-wire system, that is, there are two signal wires to be connected in addition to GND
RS485 4W means the wiring method, namely the four-wire system, that is, the RS422 method. In addition to GND, there are four signal wires to be connected
RS485 DEFAULT means that the above RS485 2W/ RS485 4W methods are included, but we generally recommend choosing 2W and 4W separately according to the wiring method. RS485 DEFAULT is not recommended
1.3 How to encrypt the touch screen program to prevent other users from uploading programs arbitrarily?
There is a password box on the "Edit/Set System Parameters/General" page. When 0 is written here, it means there is no password protection to upload. If the customer fills in the password he needs here (only numbers do not support characters), download to After the screen is displayed, the password input box will pop up when the user uploads again, and the upload can only be done after the password is correct.
1.4 How to use the screen saver of the touch screen?
In the "Edit/Set System Parameters/General" page, there is a "backlight energy saving" item. When 0 is selected, it means that the touch screen will remain on after power on. When other values are selected, it means that the touch screen will turn off after X minutes. , When you touch the screen again with your hand, the light will light up again, which can extend the display life of the LCD screen.
1.5 How to turn off the buzzer sound of the touch screen?
On the "Edit/Set System Parameters/General" page, there is a "Cursor Color" option. Select "Close" to prevent the touch screen from making a sound.
2. time
2.1 Why is the year display on the touch screen 606 instead of 2006?
This is because the positions of the high and low bytes of words in some PLCs are different from those of general PLCs. For example, Siemens PLCs are like this. So in this case, you only need to manually re-enter the year 2006 on the screen.
2.2 How to modify the system time on the touch screen?
Use numeric setting elements to set the time on the touch screen: address RW60000 is seconds, RW60001 is minutes, RW60002 is hour, RW60003 is day, RW60004 is month, RW60005 is year, RW60006 is week, and must be set to BCD code (address Refer to Chapter 12.3 on the manual) and download it to the screen, and manually modify the time on the screen.
2.3 Why can't the system time be modified during offline simulation?
Because the time displayed on the screen is synchronized with the computer during offline simulation, to modify the screen system time, you must download it to the screen and modify it manually.
2.4 Why is the trigger time in the event display all 0?
It's because you didn't select "Internal RTC" in "Edit/Set System Parameters/General/RTC Source", and select it to display the time normally.
3. Display
3.1 What should I do if the touch screen displays garbled characters?
Select "Oriental Language" in the "Options/Language Selection" of EB500 software, save it and compile it to avoid garbled characters.
3.2 Why does the window below not show up when editing EB500 software, and it is blank?
It is because the windows in the software have been opened too many, causing display problems, just close some windows.
3.3 How to open CMP format files on CD and website?
The file with the suffix CMP is a compressed file format of the EB500 software, and it can be opened after decompression with the decompression function in EB500. Select "File/Close" to close all windows in the software and make the entire screen gray, then select "Tools/Compress/Unzip", click the "Browse" button in the source file column of the "Unzip" item, and click Unzip, the progress shows success is complete. The decompressed file is the file with the suffix epj that can be opened directly with EB500.
3.4 How to open the file with the suffix EOB from the touch screen to the computer?
The EOB file needs to be decompiled after being compiled by EB500. Close all windows in the software to make the whole screen gray, then select Tools/Decompile, and finally browse the file, click Decompile, and the progress will show success. Up.
3.5 Double-click the icon of the completed project file, what should I do if the bitmap is lost?
The compiled screen program cannot be opened directly in this way, it needs to be opened through the path from the EB500 software
4. Use error
4.1 What should I do if the newly purchased touch screen cannot be touched or the touch screen freezes after downloading the compiled program?
First turn the No. 2 dial switch on the back of the screen to the ON position, and then power on and look at the copyright on the last line of the screen. Normally, it should display 2004. If it displays 22002 or 2002, it means that you have used the wrong download software or download software version. If it is lower, please re-download with EB500 2.6.1 version software.
4.2 Why does the blue screen, white screen, black screen and other abnormal phenomena appear after the newly purchased touch screen downloads the program?
This phenomenon is generally caused by using the wrong software to download, and it can be repaired by re-downloading the EB500 2.6.1 version of the software provided by our company.
4.3 Why check previous event records? Can only flip up, not down?
This is caused by a software setting error. Use the increment and decrement controls in the multi-state setting element to scroll up and down. Note that when setting the decrement, it is easy to mistake the lower limit for the upper limit. The correct setting should be 0.
4.4 Why doesn't the moving graphics made move?
This is because the control address is incorrect. There is a register address in the properties of the moving graph itself, but this address cannot be used when controlling its movement.
The address to control its movement should be added by 1 to the address of the figure itself. For example, if D0 is set in the attribute of moving graphics, then the value in D1 is to control the size of the moving range of the graphic.
4.5 When the touch screen communicates with Emerson EC20 PLC, when it is a double word, why is the value read on the screen different from that of the PLC?
This is due to the unique addressing method of Emerson EC20 PLC. Therefore, the EB500 software stipulates that when the PLC is a double word, the device type of the component reading address should be D-DOUBLE/C-DOUBLE, instead of directly adjusting the number of words to 2 on the basis of a single word like other PLCs.
5. How to use EB500 software and PLC to realize online simulation function?
Answer: The software of EB500 has the function of online simulation. The communication function with PLC can be realized without a touch screen at hand. such
This facilitates the debugging of the project and reduces the number of times of refreshing the FLASH ROM of the touch screen during debugging, which greatly saves the debugging time. Its specific user
The method is as follows:
6.1 Save and compile your edited project files. The compiled files are all "*.eob" files.
6.2 Connect the programming cable of PLC to the computer.
6.3 Open "EasyManager", tick the "Direct Online-Simulator", and then click the second item "OnLine-
Simulator", enter the dialog box. Find the "*.eob" file just compiled in the dialog box, and then click "Open".
6. Other
5.1 Why does the prompt "EasyWindow must running from EasyManager or EasyBuider" appear when using the offline simulation function?
If the serial port is selected as COM4 or higher (not including COM4), this prompt will appear, but it will not affect the download function. You can download with COM5-COM10. It is recommended to use COM0-COM4 serial ports when downloading.
5.2 Does the bar graph and trend graph components in the EB500 software support floating point numbers?
Currently not supported, only decimal integers can be read.
5.3 How to switch windows with PLC internal address?
The basic window components can be switched by PLC control components.
5.4 Can the program of MT506S be downloaded to 510L?
Since the software size is smaller than the large screen size, this type of download cannot be supported. Small size projects cannot be downloaded to large screens.
5.5 When using a data transmission element to transmit multiple bits of a word address, why some bits cannot be transmitted?
This is related to the bit transmission method used by the EB500. When the bit is transmitted, the target LB address of the transmission must have a corresponding relationship with the bit address of the PLC. For example, W10.0~10.F, its corresponding LB address must be an integer multiple of 16, that is, it should be LB96~111, or 0~15, 16~32, etc. When it is not aligned in multiples of 16 bits, the remainder is the number that cannot be passed. For example: when it reaches 200, the remainder after dividing by 16 is 8, and 8 of them cannot be passed.
When using it, the most reliable way is to convert it into a continuous address and make the LB address consistent with it:
The continuous bit address of W10.0 is: 10×16+0=160; it may be passed to LB160, if it is not convenient, you can also drive the LB160±16x address (where x is an integer), as long as the remainder is the same.
5.6 Why does the download dialog box not pop up on the computer when downloading?
This situation often occurs after the client's computer system is reinstalled, because the client did not delete the previous EB500 installation folder when reinstalling the system, and the file can be edited after the system is installed. At that time, the software is already in an abnormal state. The solution is to ask the customer to reinstall the EB500 once.
5.7 How to adjust the label position of button component 1 state?
There is a state switch box on the EB500 software screen toolbar, switch to different states, and adjust the position of labels in different states.
5.8 What should I do if I want to use the previously made screen in the new project?
The user needs to refer to the pictures made before when working on a new project, but often direct COPY will cause the picture to be lost, so the following steps are summarized, please follow this operation:
Open the old project and click Open the library to see which libraries are added (bitmaps and vector images), and record them;
Close the old project, create a new project, add the library you just recorded to the library, after confirming that the addition is complete, save and close the new project; open the old project to copy all the components of a screen, and then COPY one by one to the new project .
