Software Version: EasyBuilder Pro V4.10.02 Build 2014.04.17 New Features 1. Added new system registers: [LB-12053: Failed to send an [Event Log] e-mail (when ON)]: When e-mail sending fails, this register will be set ON. [LB-12054: Failed to send an [Backup Object] e-mail (when ON)]: When email sending fails, this register will be set ON. [LB-12052: MODBUS server status (disabled when ON)]: When this register is set ON, the MODBUS Server will be disabled. [LW-9051 (16bit): audio volume (0 ~100)] [LW-10900~LW-11154 (16bit): macro 0~254 status (0:ready, 3:executing, 5:waiting PLC response, 9:waiting sync, 17:delay)] The individual bit in these registers provides detailed information on Macro status. LW_Bit can be used to get this information. Bit 0 indicates whether the Macro is triggered. Bit 0 = ON: Macro is triggered. Bit 1 to Bit 4 indicate the progress of Macro. Bit 1 = ON: Macro is running normally. Bit 2 = ON: Waiting for the reply from PLC, Macro is paused. Bit 3 = ON: Executing SYNC_TRIG_MACRO() command, Macro is paused. Bit 4 = ON: Executing DELAY() command, Macro is paused. [LB-12041: refresh HMI IP (LW-9129~9132) (set ON)]: When this register is set ON, the system will refresh the HMI IP information in LW-9129~9132 registers.
2. When the font used in the project file is not installed on PC, a Replace Font dialog box is displayed. This dialog box can only be closed when a replacement font is selected. 3. Added [Enable delete history data function] check box in Option List settings dialog box. The history data of specific dates can be deleted. 4. Added [File name prefix] check box in Data Sampling settings dialog box. A specified prefix can be added in the history file name.
As shown in the preceding figure, enter HMI_A_ in the field, and the file name will be (for example): HMI_A_20140307.dtl HMI_A_20140308.dtl... 5. Added the [Add BOM (Byte Order Mark) to file header for EXCEL can interpreting non-ascii strings correctly.] check box in Backup object settings dialog box. CSV files that contain non-ascii characters can still be opened directly by Excel. 6. Added Tag Manager that allows selecting the Siemens S7-1200 PLC tags to be imported.
As shown in the following figure, in [QArea] only three tags: [Q00], [Q01], and [Q02] are imported. Therefore, only these three tags can be selected in object settings. 7. When exporting user-defined word tags into CSV file or EXCEL file, the data type of the tags will also be exported, in order to keep the data type consistent when re-imported. As shown in the following figure, the data type information is included in the CSV file or EXCEL file. 8. Added Data Security feature. This feature allows setting restrictions on the write operations that modify local register data. In [System Parameter Settings] select [Local HMI] and then click [Security ] button. Data Security protects local Bit addresses (LB, LW_Bit, RW_Bit, RW_A_Bit, RBI) and local Word addresses (LW, RW, RW_A, RWI, EM).
The restrictions include [Set ON only], [Set OFF only] for Bit addresses, and a range between the specified [Min. value] and [Max. value] for Word addresses. [Disable remote-write operation]: If selected, the remote HMI will not be able to write to the protected address. [Used only in remote-write operation]: If selected, the specified condition is only used to restrict the write operation by a remote device. The local write operation is not restricted.
[Use min. / max. value when write value is less / more than min. / max. value]: If not selected, when the written value is not within the specified range, the system will keep the original value. If selected, when the written value is not within the specified range, the system will write the min. / max. value instead. [Notification]: When the written value is not within the specified range, the system will trigger the designated notification bit address ON / OFF. In the example of setting Data Security on a Bit address as shown in the preceding figure, the remote HMI can only set ON LB-10, while the local HMI is not restricted. If the remote HMI attempts to set LB-10 OFF, the system will trigger notification bit LB-0 ON. 9. Label Tag Library supports the.xlsx file format of EXCEL 2007 or later versions.
10. Supports setting DPI information to prevent error in text display that occurs when opening the same project file on different PC. The project files created with earlier EasyBuilder do not contain DPI information; therefore, when opening the same project file on different PC, the texts may be incorrectly displayed due to the difference in DPI settings. On EasyBuilder Pro toolbar, click [Tools]» [Text DPI Setting] to open the following dialog box and set DPI. The DPI setting is stored in the project file to prevent incorrect display. 11. Supports directly pasting a picture from the clipboard into Picture Library.
12. Added [Paste (Add Mode)] in Event Log settings dialog box. [Paste (Add Mode)]: Appends as a new entry. [Paste]: Overwrites the selected item with the new items. A message window will pop up to confirm this operation. 13. Added [Multi. Copy] selection to the right-click menu. 14. Added a Japanese font: Meiryo. 15. When changing static HMI IP address to DHCP, the data in system registers from LW-9129 to LW-9123 (HMI ethernet IP) will also be updated. 16. Combined [Numeric Input] and [Numeric Display] objects into [Numeric Object]. The way to set a Numeric object is the same as Numeric Display object. To enable the Numeric Input features, please select [Allow input] check box. This new feature allows easier switching between [Numeric Input] and [Numeric Display] objects, and no repeated settings are required.
17. Combined [ASCII Input] and [ASCII Display] objects into ASCII object. The way to set an ASCII object is the same as ASCII Display object. To enable the ASCII Input features, please select [Allow input] check box. This new feature allows easier switching between ASCII Input and ASCII Display objects, and no repeated settings are required. 18. When using an array tag for the PLC, an index register can be designated. The PLC drivers that support this feature include: OMRON EtherNet/IP (NJ Series) driver, Rockwell EtherNet/IP (CompactLogix) Free Tag Names driver, etc. 19. Added Droid Sans Fallback font file which supports Unicode characters: Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. When the font that will be displayed on HMI is unknown, this font file can be used. The time needed for downloading the project file may be longer. 20. Added AZERTY USB Keyboard. The system register [LW-9199: (16bit): keyboard
layout: 0 (QWERTY), 1 (AZERTY)] can be used to switch between QWERTY and AZERTY keyboards. 21. Changed the way to display object ID: A. The object ID in Common Window and Underlay Window will not be displayed in Base Window. B. All object ID of the overlapped objects will be placed on the top layer.
