Object
Bit Switch:
Bit switch is designed to access the bit-address of the PLC/ HMI.
Word Switch:
when the switch is triggered the value of the word address will change depends on the switch type.
Function Switch:
Function key can implement functions like switch between different screens, copy data to UDisk, ile
transfer, etc.
Keypad Switch:
Key is a manual data input object; this part must work with the Keypad. User can assign letters or
numbers for each switch, when the switch is triggered the data will input to the textbox.
Combination Switch:
Individual functions can be added to one object, to implement multiple tasks at the same time.
Bit Switch (General/Text/Graphic/Securty/Animation)
Bit switch is designed to access the bit-address of the PLC/ HMI. When bit switch is triggered, the
changing of [write address] depends on the mode setting. When [Read] option is selected, the [read
address] is editable.
*For example, if the value of [Read address] is "ON", the state of a designated bit address shows the
picture and text corresponds to "ON", in contrary, the "OFF" features are shown.
Word Switch
Change a value of the word address, when the switch is triggered the value of word address will change
according to the switch type.
Keypad Switch
Keypad switch is designed to input data manually; this object must work with the Keypad.
User can assign letters or numbers for each switch, when the switch is triggered the data will input to the
textbox.
Function switch
Function key can implement functions like switch between different screens, copy data to UDisk, ile
transfer, ect.
Combination switch
Individual functions can be added to one object, to implement multiple tasks at the same time.

*For example, add "set bit" and "destination screen" to a combination switch, when press the switch, it
will trigger a bit switch while switch to another screen.

Address Mapping
Description
Address mapping is the opera on to build the rela onship between two different addresses. Forwarding address
from source address to des na on address, so the value in both addresses would be same according to the
predefined mapping mode. Both addresses could be from different, in this way, to make HMI processing faster.
*For example: forward "D0" to "HDW100" (length: 10), so the address D0,D1,..D9 would be related to
HDW100,HDW101..HDW109.
Settings
Click [Project management]-[Address mapping] .

Function
Read only: Destination address only read the value from source address. it is unable to write value to
source address.
Read/Write: The value of source and destination address always keep same.
Mapping control: Set the control bit to start or stop mapping.
Recipe
Click [Project]-[Data Tool]-[Recipe] .

Click [Add] or double click recipe item to edit the properties of recipe.

 User Restriction
General
HMI allows accessing by multiple users. User need to set the user and group when designing
project. Different group have different permission level for accessing. Each user should be added to
certain group, it is possible to add one user to different group.
Operating record: record user enter, exit, and the operation record of 9 objects with "user restriction",
find the record file in \\flash\\UserOperationLogs.db (On simulator
C:\\WECON\UserMgrFile\UserOperationLogs.db).

Setting
1. New User and Group:
Click [system configuration]-[user enter], shown as the following user manager window.

The upper part is group list, the later part is user list. Display on the window bottom is [new
user], [copy], [delete user], when use mouse to activate user list; display on the window bottom is
[user group], [delete user group] when activate group list. Pop up user property window when click
[user], set the password for each user, then add the user to existing group. Modify user password
and group when click [property].

2. Set User permission

Click icon on the tool bar to modify some object restriction together, includes bit switch, word
switch, function key, numeric input/display, character input/display, recipe transfer, drop-down list,
drop-down list, combination switch totally 9 objects.
 Double Click on objects, select [Security]- [user restriction]:

Log work as a part of record information write in operation record file. The information can write in
variable. Record the detail information about the operation of HMI.

User Management
HMI allows managing user accounts on screen. Including adding, deleting and editing the user
account. HMI provide built-in screen for "log in "and "change password"(screen No.1006 and 1007).

2.extract the configuration files to \\flash\\,(when simulating save to C:\\), if there was a configuration
file, please delete current configuration file by "delete profile" tool, then download the current file to
HMI, reboot to apply new configuration file
3. Modify configuration during screen running, export configuration file to U disk, import from U disk
after modifying.

HMI Address
HMI provide four types of HMI address for user.
*HSW, HDW, HPW, RPW are word address, HSX, HDX, HPX are bit address;
System Parameters (HSW/HSX)
The address starting with "HSW" are reserved by HMI system, define those address to save the state
or parameter of current system. Like system properties, communication parameters etc.
*HSW is related to HSX, (e.g. one word address HSW0 contains 16 bits from HSX0.0 to HSX0.15);
User Data (HDW/HDX):
The address starting with "HDW" are provided for user, saving data to this type of address.
*HDW is related to HDW, (e.g. one word address HDW0 contains 16 bits from HDX0.0 to HDX0.15);
Special Data (HUW/HUX):
Special address reserved by HMI.
*HUW is related to HUX, (e.g. one word address HPW0 contains 16 bits from HPX0.0 to HPX0.15);
System Data (HAW/HAX):
Addresses in this area are holding address, using for storing system data.
