Creating a Master Panel
Master panels are like templates

Create template objects that may be added to a base panel Not a complete panel
Right click on Master Panel Select New Panel (1) Master panels are created in the same manner as a Base Panel
Master panels are panel templates that can be applied to any base panel in your project. On a master panel, you can draw objects and place Toolchest parts, to create a panel of common objects that can be used for all base panels in a project. Master panels also store information about the common objects, such as font styles and background design. All objects on a master panel are displayed on base panels that use the master panel. You can organize your master panels using a folder structure. We recommend that you create a master panel folder to organize a group of master panels. Master panels support the following key operations: Changes made on the master panel are applied to base panels. Move a master panel. You can use the cut/paste or drag/drop method to move a master panel under the Base Panel node or into a base panel folder, or from one Master Panels folder to another. When you move a master panel under the base panel node or into a base panel folder, the master panel becomes a base panel.

Module Objectives
In this Module we will: Discuss the different types of variables Learn how to create variables Create variables necessary for the exercise
Module 8-2
Vijeo Designer
Variable Introduction
Variables are tag names for XBT memory locations There are both Internal and External variables
Internal inside the XBT only External connect to an external device (i.e., PLC)
A lot of configuration is done at the variable level

Assign to logging group Input Limits Alarm definition Variable scaling Variable persistence
Module 8-3
Vijeo Designer
Creating Variables - Manually

2 3
Right click on variables (1) Select New Variable (2) and select the data type from the displayed list (3) Discrete- digital, ON/OFF Integer- numbers without decimals points Float real numbers String text data Structure - Structures store multiple values of different data types Not the same as Concept Structured Variables Block Integer/Block Float a block of external variables of type Integer or type float Used by recipes
Integers If Source = Internal, an integer variable can store whole numbers from 2147483648 to +2147483647, without any decimal places. If Source = PLC, the available data range depends on the IOSetting properties: DataFormat, Signed and DataLength. These settings are part of the variables configuration Float - A float variable can store values from -3.4e38 through -1.4e-45 and +1.4e-45 through +3.4e38 to an accuracy of 7 decimal places. String - You can set the size of the string variable using the NumOfBytes property on the variable (up to 100 bytes). Structure - The user adds the desired variable types to the structure. Appears as a folder in the list of variables Block Variables - a block of consecutive, external variables (details later)
Module 8-4
Vijeo Designer
Variable Properties - Address

Select the variable (1) Set source to PLC (2) Set the DeviceAddress Modicon uses an offset (3)
IEC style addressing is also possible (4)
6 digit addresses are changed to 5 digit addresses
3 4
Even though the DeviceAddress field shows a 5-digit address, it will work with 6-digit systems If you type the address in directly, you dont have to use the offset If your system uses IEC addressing, you must first activate it at the Equipment level
When using Modicon based equipment, use 1 based addressing. This allows for registers that start with address 1
Module 8-5
Vijeo Designer
Variable Properties Indirect Address
Uses a start address and an offset pointer 40001 is the start address and the value in the variable named in the indirect address field (myoffsetvar) is the offset Works the same way with IEC addressing
Module 8-6
Vijeo Designer
Variable Properties Data Formats
Select:
BIN binary BCD binary coded decimal
Signed or unsigned data
If the source of the data is a plc, indicate if the data is in binary or BCD format, signed or unsigned.
Module 8-7
Vijeo Designer
Logging Group
Controls logging of historical data (80 max) (1) Periodic or triggered logging Data sampling frequency (2) (3) DRAM, SRAM or SRAM & File When SRAM reaches capacity, data sent to file Number of file limits and file size limits
Logging groups control when data is logged, where it is logged and how long to keep historical data. You may create a maximum of 80 different logging groups. Once logging groups have been created, variables are assigned to a group and data logging is started Historical data may be viewed with a historical trend chart or may be retrieved using the data manager
Module 8-8
Vijeo Designer
Variable Properties Data Details

Variable Structures
Structures act as folders that store multiple variables (1)

Variables may be of mixed data types
Improves the management of variables You can add up to 200 variables to a structure. (2) You cannot create nested structures (structures inside a structure).
Module 8-12
Vijeo Designer
System Variables
Special variables that provide information about the system that the user application runs on. System variables begin with the underscore character ( _ ). _Day is a system variable that holds the current date of the target machine's system clock Other system variables provide status information on an application as it runs, such as _CurPanelID
An integer variable that stores the panel ID of the currently displayed graphical panel.
The Name, Source, and DataType properties of system variables are read-only.
Most system variables are read-only at runtime.
When you add a target to the project, the target's system variables are added to the Variable List.
You cannot delete system variables, change their names, or copy them.
Some of the system variables are:
Module 8-13
Vijeo Designer
Variable Arrays
Array = a collection of variables with the same data type and the same data source. Each variable in an array is called an element. The total number of elements in an array cannot exceed 2048 Arrays are created by adding a number in the Array Dimension field (1) A five element array is created (2) Variables are named MyInteger[0] MyInteger[4]
Module 8-14
Vijeo Designer
Array Example
In this example, one day is divided into 24 array elements, with each element representing an hour. At the end of each hour, the amount of product the manufacturer created in that hour is stored in the element. Using this array, the manufacturer can record how much product was created during each hour of the day over many days. Arrays like this example are highly useful because instead of making 24 individual variables to represent the hours of the day, you only need one array with 24 elements in it to represent the hours of the day.
Module 8-15
Vijeo Designer
Linking Variables

Links variables and variable addresses directly to a PLC faxed file Saves time, easily maintained
May be updated if addresses change
Right click on the target & select link variables Browse for the PLC program files (1) For Concept export the variables out of Concept as a .CCN file. Just change the extension from the default .TXT to .CNN For Unity use the .XVM format

Triggering Batch Alarm Printing
Batch printing prints alarm messages when signaled by the Print Control Variable. Batch printing can print alarm messages in the Active, Log, or History format. To set up Batch printing
Batch Printing The maximum number of alarms you can print using Batch printing is defined in the Property Inspector for the Alarm Group (Num of History Alarms property and Num of Log Alarms property). - When there are more alarms than the set maximum, the target machine removes the oldest alarms to make room for the newest alarm information. - When printing an alarm category with multiple alarm groups, do not use the same variable for the Print Control Variable, the Status Variable, and the Error Variable. - If you set up the same variables, the Alarm Category and the Alarm Groups will print out duplicate copies. - Alarm groups or alarm categories using the same Print Control Variables, the Status Variables, and the Error Variables, print in their creation order. For example, alarmgroup1 was created before alarmcategory2, so alarmgroup1 will print first.

Alarm Trigger Conditions
Limit Alarms activated when the variable value extends beyond a defined point that indicates a cautionary limit. Two limits can be set for values at either end of the normal value range.
Deviation Alarms (%) - activated when the variable value deviates from the specified target value. One or two measurements of deviation (defined as a percentage) can be set for the target value Minor deviation activates a warning alarm Major deviation activates a critical alarm Deviation Alarms (Fixed) - activated when the variable value deviates from the specified target value. One or two measurements of deviation (defined as a constant value) can be set for the target value Minor deviation activates a warning alarm Major deviation activates a critical alarm
Example Limit Alarm Hi=100, Deadband=10. When the variable value exceeds 100, a Hi alarm is triggered, and a Deadband is implemented. The alarm remains active while the value hovers between 100 and 90, and will not deactivate until the value falls below 90 (Hi - Deadband).

Module 13-1
Vijeo Designer
Module Objectives
In this Module we will: Discuss Vijeo Designers Script feature Learn basic rules associated with scripting See some basic script examples
Module 13-2
Vijeo Designer
Script Introduction
Scripts are coded instructions that tell your target how to react to real-time events
A touch, a panel change, a change in value
The Vijeo-Designer scripting language is based on Java.

As a result, you cannot use Java keywords as object or script names
Scripts are used when you cannot accomplish your objective with built-in tools
Module 13-3
Vijeo Designer
Script Introduction
There are four types of scripts:

Project Actions (Scripts) can run anytime (formally Application Scripts)
Periodic, scheduled, conditional, or event
Panel Scripts can only run when the associated panel is open
Periodic, conditional or event
Touch Animation Scripts only run when the associated touch animated object is pressed\
When touch, while touch, when release
Alarm Action Scripts run once when an alarm is triggered or when an alarm message is selected in an Alarm summary
Hi, HiHi = 2 triggers
Scope each different type of script has a different level of scope

Panel and Touch only works with objects in the current panel Alarm Actions works with objects in current panel (except alarm summary objects) Actions event based or run on a time interval, a schedule or based on defined events
Module 13-4
Vijeo Designer
Script Basics

Descriptions - slashes ( // ) are supported for comments Operators - these are some of the Java operators that are available: arithmetic, comparison, conditional and logical, bitwise, and assignment. Flow Control - these flow control keywords are supported:
if-else, do-while, while, for, switch-case-default, break, Return
Semi-colons mark the end of statements (1) Enclose expressions in parentheses (2):
IntVar.write(itemp); if (a==100) { }
1 2
Module 13-5
Vijeo Designer
Variables
Case Sensitive - Vijeo-Designer variable names, method calls, keywords, are case sensitive.
Var1 is not the same as var1.
Initialization of Variables - Local script variables must be initialized before they're used in the script, especially when used in a comparison. Even if the variable is assumed to be 0, it must be assigned a 0 value before it can be used, otherwise building of the user application may fail. For example: integer a, b=0; // a is not initialized if ( a==0 ) // cannot compile if ( b==0 ) // build successful because b was initialized Decimal Values - Floating point values are expressed with a 0 to the left of the decimal point.
For example: .234 (invalid), 0.234 (correct)
Variables created in Vijeo-Designer cannot be used directly in script expressions. To use a Vijeo-Designer variable in a script, use the variable's get value method and assign the result to a local script variable. You can then use the script variable in script control statements, mathematical operations, and other script
Module 13-6
Vijeo Designer
Variable Read/Write Methods

1
Variables are referenced as follows: int itemp; itemp = IntVar.getIntValue(); // get variable IntVars value, assign to itemp // ************************** int itemp; 2 itemp = 123; IntVar.write(itemp); // assign value of itemp to Vijeo-Designer variable IntVar // ************************ XXX.write(itemp + 500); // a direct write to variable XXX
You must define a variable before you assign a value to it (1) Also outside variables MUST be copied to local variables End of statement is marked by the semicolon Other Methods are getFloatValue(), getStringValue() Write method is the same for all data types (2)

Introduction to Vijeo Recipes
Create Send
Recipes can:
Write values of one recipe from the target machine to your equipment the PLC
Store
Recipe is a feature that allows you to work with specified recipe values of multiple device addresses at the same time. By creating a simple user interface, you can maintain a consistent production process just by defining the production parameters. Now, when the workflow changes or needs changing, the operator will no longer have to go through a complex process. With recipe, you can: Write values of one recipe (with the Send operation) from the target machine to your equipment.
Module 15-3
Vijeo Designer
Snapshot Feature
File
Read values of a recipe from the PLC to the XBTG

Recipe Terms
Ingredient individual elements in a recipe

An ingredient comprises a language specific label, the associated variable, and a minimum/maximum value. Each recipe usually uses several ingredients. flour, water, yeast, olive oil, and salt make pizza crust Different amounts of each make different types of crust Each different combination is a different recipe Each recipe group has a unique ID number (ranging from 1 to 65535) and a name Users are assigned an access level that specifies whether they can or cannot view and edit the recipe group You can create a maximum of 32 recipe groups per target.

Recipe Controls a set of control variables used with recipe groups

Ingredient individual elements in a recipe. An ingredient comprises a language specific label, the associated variable, and a minimum/maximum value. Each recipe usually uses several ingredients. Recipe a collection of variables and values. For example, Great Pizza Works has a Dough recipe group with this list of ingredients: flour, water, yeast, olive oil, and salt. The recipe would specify values for each ingredient. Then, using those ingredients, you can make recipes for thin crust dough, thick crust dough, or pan crust dough. You can create a maximum of 64 recipes in each recipe group. Recipe Group a collection of recipes. Each recipe group is uniquely identified with an ID number (ranging from 1 to 65535) and given a name that describes the recipe group. Users are assigned an access level that specifies whether they can or cannot view and edit the recipe group. You can create a maximum of 32 recipe groups per target. Recipe Controls a set of control variables used with recipe groups. A Recipe Control includes the Recipe Group Number Variable, Recipe Number Variable, Operation Trigger Variable, Operations Lock Variable, Status Variable, Error Variable, and Access Right Variable. For more information, see Section 17.3.5, Setting Up Recipe Controls.
Module 15-6
Vijeo Designer
Relationship of Parts
Recipe Groups contain recipes, Recipes contain ingredients Ingredients are linked to variables
Recipe Group Recipe Group can be best understood using the pizza example. Great Pizza Works creates and controls three different recipe groups: Dough, Sauce, and Toppings. Each recipe group contains similar recipes. In this case, the Sauce recipe group contains a Spicy sauce recipe, a Medium sauce recipe, and a Mild sauce recipe (recipe numbers 1, 2, and 3). All recipes in a recipe group use the same ingredients. Recipe The recipes in each recipe group contain the same ingredients, which vary from recipe to recipe. In the Sauce recipe group, the Spicy, Medium, and Mild recipes contain the same ingredientscrushed tomatoes, olive oil, and chili powderbut the chili powder ingredient is not actually used in the Mild recipe. In the Editor, you can set up the recipes, recipe ingredient values, and other values associated with each ingredient.
Module 15-7
Vijeo Designer
Recipe Variables (System)
Recipe Control variables (1) - Run recipe operations such as selecting recipes and sending recipe values. Also store error and status values that result from recipe operations Ingredient variables (2): Represent ingredients in a recipe. Each ingredient variable stores the value for its associated ingredient
Created by the system when you configure a recipe
There are two types of Recipe structures (Recipe Group and Recipe Control). Each counts as a variable towards the Target's maximum of 8000 variables. When you add a variable to the Recipe Group, there are two copies of the variable. Each counts as a variable towards the Target's maximum of 8000 variables.

In this Module we will: Discuss Data Sharing in Vijeo Designer Discuss Exclusive Panels Watch a Data Sharing Demonstration
Module 16-2
Vijeo Designer
Data Sharing
Designated variables are shared data between target machines Data sharing Ethernet
Trend Graphs & Alarm summaries now support data sharing
Targets must be in the same project
Data Access - read or read/write mode to variables on other terminals
Ethernet Only
300 shared variables maximum (400 iPC) Sharing must be enabled Variables must be individually shared Client targets and server targets
8 clients (max) access to 1 server 1 client access to 8 servers (max)
You can use variables (maximum of 300) to exchange data via Ethernet between the various terminals involved in a project. We recommend using the 6000 port (default) for these exchanges. The variables exchanged can be accessed in read or read/write mode. A variable declared in read-only mode means that it can be written by its target machine but only read by other targets. A variable in read/write mode can be read and written by all targets. A variable is sent by the terminal or server target and can be used by up to 8 clients. Similarly a client can use variables from 8 different servers (e.g. Target1.Variable1). To prevent several terminals from writing the same variable at the same time and causing conflicts, you can declare the input as exclusive.
Module 16-3
Vijeo Designer
Exclusive Input
Multiple users trying to access the same data from multiple monitors can be dangerous
Setpoint entry from different locations at the same time is not a good idea
Exclusive input & exclusive panel option prevents this
Data sharing is a useful feature that enables one target machine to view and change data on another target machine, or access the same PLC from two different physical locations. But this could also produce uncertain situations where two different operators might begin working with the same equipment without being aware of each other's actions. To prevent simultaneous inputs to the same variable, you can set up exclusive input relationships between target machines. With this feature you can stop other target machines from changing the value of variables you're working on
Module 16-4
Vijeo Designer
Exclusive Input
Blocks navigation to panels with control that are open on other units Prevents simultaneous data entry from multiple targets

Input Synchronization
Input manager controls access to panels with exclusive input activated Designates which target will manage the inputs Optional Inactivity Timeout time panel can hold exclusive input
Sends target to the top panel after a period of time
At run time, when you try to change to a panel set up with exclusive input, the target requests permission from the target set up as the Input Manager. This target either grants the request (if none of the other targets is in exclusive input mode) or refuses the request (if one of the other targets is in exclusive input mode.) If the request is granted, you can begin working with the exclusive input panel. If the request is refused, the target remains on the same panel and displays a message.

Do not hesitate to ask questions if you do not understand a step Step 1 Action To save time, your Instructor will have you restore a project that has been started for you. You will need to complete the project and when you run your project, you will become a display client of the hardware target. In other words, the hardware target will poll the PLC for data and share it with your application running in the simulator. If your Brewery project was created in a folder, select your folder and right click. If the Brewery project was not created in a folder, create one now and move your brewery project into the floder by drag and drop. Right click on the folder. The folder is not technically required for this exercise but it helps you to organize your work. Select Import project

12 13 14 15
Now, change panels on the server application and notice what the client does. Switch roles with your partner group and let them try their webgate connection and the options described Designate one student station as a server and connect multiple clients to the server (max of 4). This completes this exercise
Exercise 17 - 4
Exercise 18 Multimedia - Snapshots

Exercise 18
Complete each step in this exercise. Do not hesitate to ask questions if you do not understand a step Step 1 2 Action Create a new sub folder in your Class folder named Picts Your path will be C:\Class\picts Reopen the Brewery project. With the Brewery project select in the Navigator, activate Screen Snapshot in the Inspector
The system will create several new variables when this feature is activated Create a new switch on the process panel as shown
Exercise 18 - 1
Technical Communications - North Andover 4 Create a new integer variable names PICT as follows:
Link it to 40400 or %MW400, depending on your PLC
Active sharing for the variable PICT as shown 5 Animate the switch as follows:
Even though the Snapshot.Control variable is an integer, you can apply a bit operations (SET/RESET) to it. Vijeo Designer does not differentiate between a bits value of 0 or 1 and an Integers value of 0 or 1. In other words Bits and Integer values of 0/1 are treated the same, Each time the switch is activated, a picture will be taken
Exercise 18 - 2
Technical Communications North Andover 6 Enable target & Web Gate security. Make Process the starting panel
Add the following Panel Action script on the Process panel. Set the triggering of the script as shown Create New Panel Action
The script should run whenever the variable PICT is true

The Vijeo Designer Simulator cannot store pictures since there is no compact flash. It will display pictures using the JPEG viewer but the operation is totally correct. This script runs in your simulator and also the hardware target. Anytime any student presses the Picture button in the simulator, it will set the bit PICT in the target. This bit causes the script in the real Target to run, take a picture and store it in the compact flash. Save, Validate and run your project. Take ONE picture. Go to the JPEG viewer and see if your picture is there Ask your instructor to open the JPEG Viewer page in the target and see the picture(s) there. These pictures come from the compact flash

Technical Communications - North Andover 18 The script should appear as shown
This script will copy the status of the VideoRecord.Status variable to the located variable, MovieStatus. The Text display will then display a message from the text resource, that is determined by the value in the MovieStatus variable. This will allow your simulator to display the status of the movie being recorded or playing in the hardware target. I Nominate one student to download his project to the hardware target. Everybody else, open your script (if closed) and comment the two lines above out. This must be done so that the simulators will not be fighting the hardware over control of the moviestatus variable
19
(the student that downloaded his project to the target must also alter his script after the download) Run your project in simulation mode When ready, ONE simulator can press the Record button. All simulators and the hardware target should display the recording message. Only record a video for a few seconds. Another student station can also start and stop the recording process. 20 Play the recorded movie from the hardware target.
