SECTION 5 – Commissioning a project
5.1 Overview
Configuration phase
A project includes screen, alarms, variables used to represent the real plant of
machine. The configuration phase is the creation of the project according to the
user needs and interaction between the humans and the machine.
Transferring the project to HMI30
You can transfer a project to HMI30 as follows:
● Transfer from the configuring PC by using an Ethernet connection
● Copy the Project by using a USB key
Process control phase
After the project is transferred, HMI30 is ready to communicate to one or more
PLC and to visualize the screens according to the configured project.
ATTENTION : if you need to communicate with a device connected to the serial
port you must configure the serial port. See chapter 5.3.
Commissioning and re-commissioning
When you switch on the first time HMI30, there is no project inside. At first you
need to transfer a project into HMI30.
After you download a project you can retransfer another project or another
version of the same project without any special operation, also while the pro-
ject is running on HMI30.
5.2 Transfer
HMI30 is always ready for accepting the download of a project, even when a
project is running. In this way, if HMI30 is connected by means of Ethernet to
the configuration PC, you are able to download a new project or a new version
of the same project even without stopping the project. (see Chap. 3.10.1)
5.3 Configuring the serial port
If your project need to communicate with a device connected to the serial port,
you need to configure the serial port according to the type of serial connection
you use for your communication. The following types of communications are
supported by the serial port of HMI30:

RS 232

RS 422

RS 485
HMI30 comes as default with the serial port set as RS 232. If you want to
change the type of serial communication you must do the following:
