How to Configure the Controller

How to Configure the HMI Controller

Introduction

First create a new project or open an existing project in the SoMachine software.

Refer to the SoMachine programming guide for information on how to:

oAdd a controller to your project.

oReplace an existing controller.

oConvert a controller to a different but compatible device.

Devices Tree

The Devices tree shows a structured view of the current hardware configuration. When you add a controller to your project, a number of nodes are automatically added to the Devices tree, depending on the functions the controller provides.

Devices tree example:

The following is accessed from the Devices tree navigator:

Entry			Double-Click and Refer to...
HMISCUxx5			HMI Controller Device Editor
	Embedded Functions
		IO	I/O Embedded Function configuration
		HSC	HSC Embedded Function configuration
		PTO_PWM	PTO_PWM Embedded Function configuration
	COM1		Serial Line configuration
	Ethernet⁽¹⁾		An Ethernet connection is configured via Vijeo-Designer: Property Inspector > Download > Ethernet.
	USB⁽¹⁾		A USB connection is configured via Vijeo-Designer: Property Inspector > Download > USB.
	CAN		CANopen configuration
	Analog⁽²⁾		Analog I/O Embedded Function configuration
	Temperature⁽²⁾		Analog Temperature Embedded Function configuration
(1) For more information on how to configure the connection between your computer and the HMI controller, refer to Vijeo-Designer online help. (2) Only available on HMISCU6B5, HMISCU8B5 including HMI SBC.

Applications Tree

The Applications tree allows you to manage project-specific applications as well as global applications, POUs, and tasks.

Tools Tree

The Tools tree allows you to configure the HMI part of your project and to manage libraries.
