Must Knowledge
Industrial CommandFirst you must to download HMI Software in this case is free
Go to the follow link in official Weintek webpage and download free Software EasyBuilder Pro Download Here; Weintek HMIs is a good performance Touch Screen HMI and his price is not expensive than others HMI and of course is a good option because Software is free, Register with your information and then login, you must to choose 1 of the 2 last versions
Extract the files and do click on SETUP; the first configuration by default
Open Easybuilder Pro and start to create our first simple SCADA!
if we can access to the program for first time, we are ready to start!
Let's Monitor and Operate in HMI a PLC Fatek project
In Winproladder (Fatek) gonna create a "Start - Stop"; and energize a "Output", and very important is create 2 buttons in HMI that you can start or stop from touch screen
Back to HMI Software and start with the configurations
Create a New Project and then must to select the right HMI that will use, if you choose the wrong HMI in the moment of upload program you may have problems
Now must to ADD the PLC that works with the HMI; Let's add a PLC Fatek
Identify:
Finally we can see we've add PLC Fatek to the list by Serial RS-232
Now that the Hardware PLC and HMI have been configurated start to programming!
The first project is very simple to understand PLC and HMI how works
This is the main screen when you start
First we gonna create a simple "Digital Output or 0-1" from Bit Lamp, we add the address Y0 that means is directly relationated with Digital Output "Y0" from PLC (remember Step 2 in Winproladder)
Then to begin with the from go to "Shape" and here is how we choose the variable looks like; "0" => OFF or "1" => ON
Go to Picture Library and here is where HMI give us the option to create variables and choose differents
This options mainly shows how HMI works over a Output when is OFF "0" or ON "1"
Finally our Bit Lamp will be the real Digital Output Y0 from PLC Fatek
Now gonna create our 2 buttons in HMI that too may Start o Stop the Digital Output Y0, go to "Toggle Switch"
In this case create 2 differentes buttons, 1 means START (M0) and other to STOP (M1); remember these values were created in Winproladder
Our simple and first project looks like simple but is very important to understand the concepts
When the project is ready you must to communicate HMI and PLC from PC
The procedure you must to follow is the next
