2.1 Starting the HMI Application

General Information

The integrated HMI-Application can be started from the left-hand side window of the webserver (1) or from the Hardware Tree by opening the HMI Client (2, 3) (see Figure 2-1). If the user has the necessary rights to perform this action, the HMI Application will be started on the users system. The current user is logged into the integrated HMI with the same user-name/password as used in the webserver.

Figure 2-1:

Starting the application

2.2

Starting the HMI from the users desktop

The second possibility for starting the integrated HMI is by using an icon on the active desktop. Please perform the following steps: Select Open HMI Client by a click with the right button of the mouse Choose Copy Shortcut Select the active desktop with the right button of the mouse Choose Paste Shortcut (see Figure 2-2) Shortcut is pasted on desktop (see Figure 2-3)

2.6

User Authorization
A user needs the necessary privileges to start the Integrated HMI and he needs additional privileges to perform process commands. For this reason a user has to log in to the system with username and password. Users and their passwords are administrated in the RTU560Webserver. The initial values are the same as for the Webserver (see document Webserver Release 7): Administrator functions Operator may perform test commands Operator may perform commands Operator can supervise the process Operator can load configuration files (*) Available only in RTU560 Web Server Admin / Admin Control / Control (*) Operator / Operator View / View Load / Load (*)

2.7

Normal Log In / Log Out

A user has to log into the running application of the Integrated HMI by putting in his user name and the corresponding password (see Figure 2-8). Each combination of user name and password is associated with several privileges (see chapter 2.6). The login dialog (see Figure 2-8) is found in item Login in menu item Main and has to be used for login and log out of users. All login and logout actions are added as entries to process archive, if configured.

Figure 2-8:

Login dialog

Every login action will be confirmed by an information dialog (see Figure 2-9). If the user name or password is faulty, the access to the integrated HMI is denied.

2.8

Normal termination of the Integrated HMI

The user can terminate the active session by choosing Exit in Main menu item. After the necessary confirmation (see Figure 2-11) the connection is closed, and the control authority will go back to the connected hosts (see also chapter 2.10).

Figure 2-11:

Verification of the Exit command

2.9

Abnormal termination of the Integrated HMI

Normally the user will exit the Integrated HMI by operation. In case of an error (e.g. Ethernet communication is lost) the HMI Server will close the connection. An information is shown on the client screen (see Figure 2-12).

2.10

Control Authority
The system takes care, that only one user is authorized to perform commands with the system. The Control Authority has to be requested by the user. This request will be notified to all connected host systems by a System Event (#100). Additionally it is possible -by a parameter- to reject commands from a control system, as long as this request is active. The duration of this request is limited by a configurable timer. The user has to request the control authority (see Figure 2-13) in the Control Authority Dialog by choosing sub item Control Authority in menu item Main.

Figure 2-13:

Requesting control authority

If the user is allowed to request the control authority, the supervision timer is started and the user may perform controls (see Figure 2-14). If not, the demand is rejected.

Figure 2-14:

Control authority dialog

At the end of the activity the control user has to release the control authority by using the same dialog (see Figure 2-15). If not, the control authority is released by the system after the remaining time elapses.

Navigating through pages

In the Integrated HMI there are two features available to navigate through the pages of the application: Link Button Link Label

Figure 2-16:

Example of link label and link button

The features of both components are defined during data entry, but both components will navigate to a specific page of the application. The Link Label will change his color while touching with the mouse cursor and the cursor will change to another symbol.

3.1.1

Controllable components

General
Visualization
In normal state representations of components are shown in a color as defined during data entry. In case of a failure or abnormal states they change their color to the colors defined for abnormal states. Figure 3-1 shows the default colors of abnormal states.

Figure 3-1:

Default color assignment for abnormal states

The components will change to a three-dimensional style if the operator touches the symbol with his mouse cursor and the component is controllable (see Figure 3-2).

Figure 3-2:

Component for process commands

3.1.2

Authorization
If the operator has the necessary privileges, it is possible to perform commands out of the single line diagrams, if the user has successfully requested the control authority. A user without the necessary privileges that tries to perform a command will be informed with the dialog shown in Figure 3-3. Not requested control authority will be displayed in a dialog as shown in Figure 3-4.

3.1.3

Preconfigured commands
Clicking on a controllable component with preconfigured command value the command will immediately be send to the process. There will be no further acknowledgement of the user requested. The value is not changeable during runtime. According to the configuration the information dialogs of command confirmations will be displayed in every case, only if negative confirmed or terminated or not at all.

Security advice: The Integrated HMI will perform a control immediately and without any checks (interlocking). This is why the operator is fully responsible for his actions. He has to take care that his actions will not result in any damage of humans or goods. The ABB AG is not responsible for any damages.

5.1 General

Process Archive list

The RTU560 supports three types of process archives: Measurement value archive Counter value archive Event archive The process archive list component can be configured to download the process archive of RTU560 in intervals of 50 entries or completely. The representation of the contents of process archives is not influenced by the configured download type. The process archive list is not updated automatically during runtime, but has to be activated by the user.

5.2

Usage of process archive with Interval download

If process archive is managed by Integrated HMI on basis of intervals only 50 entries are downloaded to the HMI Application at a time.

5.2.1

Control and Information Bar

Push buttons as shown in Figure 5-1 provides access to the functionalities.

Figure 5-1:

Control push buttons interval download

The push buttons provide from left to right - the following functionality: 1. Scroll to newest entry Request the newest interval of the process archive. The button is flashing, if new entries are available. 2. Scroll forward Request the next interval relative to the current position 3. Scroll backwards Request the previous interval relative to the current position 4. Scroll to oldest entry Request the oldest interval of the process archive 5. Print list Print content of list. The content of the current interval will be printed. 6. Export event list Export content to file on local PC in CSV format On the right side in the header line are two fields showing the number of current entries in the process archive and the position of current interval within the process archive (see Figure 5-2Error! Reference source not found.).

5.3

Usage of process archive with complete download

Integrated HMI that are configured to download the process archive completely provide the functionality of filtering and sorting of data entries. The complete content of the process archive will be downloaded to the HMI Application, if the page containing the process archive list component is first shown. If the download is completed only not yet downloaded data entries will by downloaded to the HMI Application. The user is informed about the existence of new, not yet downloaded data entries in the process archive. Process archive content is available as long as an instance of a HMI Application is running.

5.3.1

Control and Information Bar

Push buttons as shown in Figure 5-3 provides access to the functionalities.

The content will be exported regarding the filter settings and the sorting of the list. Right beside of the push buttons there are two fields containing information about the status of the list (see Figure 5-4).

Figure 5-4:

Information fields of process archive list - complete download

If any filter setting is activated first the number of entries matching the filter criteria followed by the number of entries in the archive is shown. While no filter setting is activated only the current number of entries is displayed. If content is downloaded from RTU560 this number is increasing. The status field can contain two entries: frozen filtered
ABB AG 1KGT 150 563 V002 1 5-2

Process Archive list

Integrated HMI, Users Guide

Frozen signalizes that there are new entries waiting for download to HMI Application and filtered is shown while any filter setting is active.

5.3.2

Filter setting dialog

The filter settings can be modified in the filter setting dialog (see Figure 5-5).

Figure 5-5:

Filter dialog

By default all filter settings are deactivated. Only activated settings will be used. Start and end time parameter provides the possibility to specify a time interval for filtering, but can also be used independently. All other filter parameters refer to the corresponding columns in the process archive list. Filter settings of parameter object text can also contain wildcard characters like * for any sequence of characters or ? for any character. Examples: 1. *RTU560* Only entries with object texts containing the RTU560 are filtered 2. 560CMU0? Only entries with object texts starting with 560CMU0 followed by any character are filtered, like 560CMU02, 560CMU04, etc.

5.4

Representation of process archive entries

The initial representation of an archive is the same as in the HMI Editor (see Figure 5-6 to Figure 5-7).

Alarm list

Integrated HMI, Users Guide

A persistent alarm has to be acknowledged by the operator, if this feature was enabled during data entry. If an acknowledged alarm disappears, the entry will be deleted from the alarm list. If an acknowledgement is not required, a fleeting alarm will be deleted from the alarm list. If the acknowledgement is required, a fleeting alarm will stay in the alarm list, and has to be acknowledged later.

6.3

Runtime Representation
The initial representation of the alarm list is the same as in the HMI Editor (see Figure 6-2). But the user has also the possibility to re-arrange the columns by the help of the left mouse button.
