11. Software Interface Introduction

12. Title bar It is used to display the route of the project and to minimize,maximize and close the software. • Menu bar The menu bar provides menus for selecting various groups of commands. If one of these menus is selected, the corresponding dropdown menu appears. Each drop down menu provides a group of related commands. • Basic toolbar The basic toolbar provides tool icons like Create Project, Open Project, Cut, and Paste. • Draw toolbar Each icon stands for a drawing function as it shows. The drawing tools include line tool, rectangle tool, ellipse/circle tool, arc tool, polygon tool and text tool. • Fill effect toolbar This toolbar provides tools used for filling the screen background or areas within a enclosed barriers such as rectangle, ellipse and sector. Each icon represents a filling style. • Position toolbar It is used for adjusting the position of components, such as, Align Top, Align Bottom, Justify, Align right, Equal Size, Cascade, Group, flip, and so on.

13. System toolbar It is used for compiling, downloading and simulating a project. • Line width toolbar It is used for adjusting the line width. • Page switch toolbar It is used for scrolling forward and backward within the pages of a project. • Database toolbar It includes text library, alarm messages , address labels , PLC control and event messages. • Code edit toolbar It is used for controlling the compilation of codes. • Line style toolbar This toolbar is used for selecting the line style: with or without an arrow, be a dotted line or solid line. The style of lines,arcs and the outline of rectangles are also set by this toolbar. • Graph element window The Graph element window has five optional columns: Connector: Used to select the type of communication link; HMI: Used to select the HMI type; PLC: Used to select the PLC type;

14. PLC parts: Used to select various configuration parts related to PLC registers; Function parts: Used to select various functional parts. • Project construct window The Project construct window shows the tree relationship between project windows and parts of the PLC and HMI in the entire project with a tree diagram. • Project files window The Project files window indicates the relationship between the touch panel and bitmap files of the project in tree structure. • Message window The Message window is used to display the loaded information of the project and the compilation progress and error messages. • Component list window The Component list window shows the information of all parts used in the project. • Status bar The Status bar shows the current mouse position, width/height of the target object,edit status, and so on. • Configuration window The user can draw the configuration in this window.

15. Function Introduction

16. Simulation Introduction • Off-line simulation Off-line simulation is used to simulate the project without HMI and PLC. When we finish a project,then we can use this function to review the configuration effect without downloading project into HMI,thus it can save lots of time. • Indirect On-line simulation Indirect online simulation is used to simulate the program in PC to control PLC without downloading program into HMI.When we are debugging at the site,we need to change the program frequently,then we can use indirect simulation to check the program.In this simulation,we should connect HMI to PC with USB cable or T4000/5000 downloading cable or Ethernet cable.And connect the PLC to the HMI with their communication cable. • Direct On-line simulation Direct online simulation is used to replace the HMI by PC.When we don't have HMI and we want to check the program by connecting to PLC,then we can connect PC to PLC with PLC's downloading cable(It must generate a COM port),and then use direct on-line simulation to excute the program.

17. Main Function Introduction • Display and control bit status This is a basic function in HMI.It is used to monitor the status of switch and datas of registers,and used to control the status of switch They are always used to replace of lamp and button. This is a lamp,used to display the state of the bit registers. This is a switch without lamp,used to control bit registers without display the state of the bit registers.Meanwhile it can also be used to auto-set a bit register when something happen. This is a switch with lamp,used control bit registers and display the State of this bit register or another bit register.

18. Monitor the data curves Data curves are used to monitor the variation trend of datas and to monitor the relation curves. This is used to display the trend curve of datas,we can use it to Monitor and record the data trend.It can work in the backgroud. This is the same as trend curve,but there is some difference between it and trend curve.It can not work in the background and it can not save. This is used to display the curve of the relationship between two variables.

19. Display Alarm Information For application,we usually need to display the alarm information which is Dangerous and to record the history information. This is used to add the alarm information in the HMI.When you need to display alarm information,you should add the alarm information firstly. This is used to display the alarm information when alarm happen. This is used to display the alarm information when alarm happen.It display as a neon lamp. This is used to add the event information in the HMI.When you need to display event information,you should add the event information firstly.Event information is similar to alarm information,but there are some difference.Event information can be recorded, and event information can display the date when the event information happened. This is used to display the event information when event happen.

20. DIY pictures Most of the time we need to use our favorite pictures in the HMI,and maybe We nee to use the pictures of the company or equipment in the HMI. This is used to import bitmap and vector graph library into HMI. This is used to create new bitmap and vector graph.And make the graph by yourseft. This is a bitmap component,it can be used as background pictures. This is a vector graph component,it can be used as background pictures.

21. Bulk data transfer Use this function,we can transfer lots of datas at one time. This is a recipe function.It is used to download recipe data into PLC or upload PLC data to recipe card of HMI. This is used to transfer data from one register to another register. It can transfer 32767 registers at one time. This is timer component,it is used to transfer data,excute macro and change number of data registers in cycles.

22. Popup window Popup window is commonly used to make a confirm window or message window. This is used to popup a window when a bit state register is on. We can use a bit state register as a alarm to control the popup window.One direct window can only popup a constant window. This is similar to direct window.But it is control by a data register. The number of the data register leads to popup different windows.For example,when the number of the data register is equal to 10,and then the indirect window will popup window No.10. This is used to popup constant window by manual.It need to push The botton to popup window.

23. Animation effects In Kinco HMIware,we can use different methods to achieve animation effects. This is used to display tags as a neon lamp.It is controlled by bit register. This is used to display tags as a neon lamp.It is controlled by data register. This is used to move the component by change the position of X axis and Y axis. This is used to move the component through the route that you set in advanced. This is used to display the states of data register.We can use this component to display different state of picture,and it looks like a movie.

24. Macro function In Kinco HMI,macro is the same as C language.You can use macro to achieve some advanced function.
