PROGRAMMABILITY
Event Driven Configuration Tool
Edict 97, an extremely powerful Windows
®
95/3.11 based software program,
provides for the intuitive configuration of every aspect of the operator
interface’s behavior. The requirement for time consuming PLC ladder logic is
drastically reduced by the unique event driven approach of EDICT 97. The
capability of this program, in conjunction with the PLC and the Paradigm
operator interface unit, ensures a great deal of advanced functionality for your
system. This powerful PLC/Paradigm system provides many of the capabilities
and features normally associated with the more complicated and costly
PC/SCADA systems. Display pages are easily generated, including PLC and
internal variables, text strings, or bar charts. All dynamic elements are also
available as alarms, recipes, triggers, and reports for the run time software. After
completion of the programming, the program is directly downloaded to the
operator interface from your PC, without any compiling or saving requirement.
When you require a change in your program, EDICT 97 loads only the change,
not the entire program, saving valuable on-line time.
DYNAMIC DISPLAY PAGE ELEMENTS
Each display page has provisions to show static and dynamic information,
including data variables, text messages, time, and date.
Data Variables
can be either PLC derived or internally generated, either in data
entry or display only mode. The Paradigm unit has an extremely powerful
math capability, allowing the operator to manipulate the variables to meet the
specific application’s demands. If required, the display can be formatted to
BCD, binary, hex, floating point, and string. Upper and lower limits of data
entry variables are fully supported and password protected.
Text Message Animation
enables several different types of animated text from
a local or global message table to be displayed. The message displayed is
dependent on the condition of the particular controlling expression. The
controlling expression may be a PLC bit level, a timer value, preset counter
condition, or any one of a wide variety of message triggers.
Time and Date
in the Paradigm unit has the capability to display in any
combination of year, month, day, hours, minutes, and seconds.
Bar Graphs
in horizontal format are easily attached to data variables. The partial
or full length bar graph displays can be scaled and offset to optimize the
required display effect.
SECURITY
The password protection scheme provides the ultimate in tamper-proof
capability. Access can be limited on a unit, page, recipe, or even individual data
entries.
ALARMS
The Paradigm unit can monitor and log up to 500 alarms. Such triggers as a
simple bit level transition, a PLC coil activation, or a complex application
algorithm can activate an alarm. The alarms can be time and date stamped, with
an automatic screen display and/or downloading to a printer for hard copy
recording purposes.
RECIPE HANDLING
Recipe handling in the Paradigm Operator Interfaces can be tailored to your
requirements. Using the “Data Files” section of Named Data, one can set up
arrays with meaningful titles, and select, edit, and maintain, recipe data up to
8000 elements per file. In conjunction with User Programs, and the flexible data
displays, the operator can select desired recipe, by number or by title, and either
upload from, or download to, the target system. All the functions of EDICT 97
are available, so the programmer can password protect the editing of the recipes
and allow for the transfer of data from a host system.
REAL TIME SCHEDULE
Real time schedule allows for repetitive or one time tasks to take place in the
system. Typically a schedule action similar to...At 1:55 PM on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday print the production report...is required in the
application. In conjunction with the recipe capabilities, a downloading of a
special recipe can be requested by the real time schedule feature.
MULTIPLE LANGUAGE SUPPORT
This powerful feature allows users to program the text in their databases in
up to 8 different languages. A system variable entry makes it easy for end users
to select one of the preprogrammed languages. EDICT 97 features powerful
language editing tools for easy implementation.
USER PROGRAMS
This feature offers the user the ability to incorporate custom application
requirements via a powerful program language. For example, a program
designated “Calculate Volume,” which determines the amount of fluid in a round
tank at specific temperatures, could be created. This program would be triggered
to run and display each time the page denoted as “Volume Now” is requested.
The ability to customize to your application’s specialized needs is easily solved
with the user program capability.

COMMUNICATION MODES
: Any of the three ports can be used to
communicate with Serial Devices.
Model - GL300T may communicate in Master mode with a different device
protocol on each port (See Note & Exception).
However, only one of the Ports 2 and 3 may be configured, if either is
selected as a Slave Protocol.
Note: Ports 2 and 3 may be configured as different device protocols in
Master mode and Port 1 may be used simultaneously in Slave mode for
a third device protocol.
Exception: If Allen Bradley DH485 is selected on either Port 2 or 3, only
Port 1 will be available for a separate device protocol.
