Connection Possibilities
The SICALIS PMC 7 Operator Panel can be connected to an external PLC via the
PROFIBUS-DP. Optionally, you can also integrate WinAC in the operator panel.
With the WinAC (Windows Automation Center) software, you can use the operator
panel as a programmable logic control for your process control application.
Using PROFIBUS-DP, the following PLCs can be linked to the SICALIS PMC 7
Operator Panel:
SIMATIC S7
SIMATIC WinAC
SINUMERIK NC 840D
Operational Design
The operator panel’s keyboard controller passes the data for all the pressed keys
to the integrated PC. The key code can be parameterized (see page C-2).
When a movement or function key is depressed, the event will be passed as a key
code to the application. Additionally, when a movement or operation key is
depressed this will be sent to the connected PLC in accord with the key’s
definition. Output bits, which the PLC sends, will be passed on to the controls.
To use the operator panel, a customer-specific application SICALIS PMC 7 is
necessary. This application is not included in the scope of the delivered package.
!
Caution
Never press more than two keys at the same time!
If more than two keys (movement keys) are pressed simultaneously, the so-called
“ghost key effect” will result. Since the membrane keyboard cannot be decoupled
by individual diodes, the system will, in this case, detect virtual keys and set the
corresponding bits in the PLC.
