3.3.3 Ethernet port

3.4 Human Machine Interface (HMI)

%IW0 : horizontal position of the clicked point on the screen and %IW1 : vertical position of the clicked point on the screen

%Q0 : activation of the backlight

%Q1 : buzzer

%QW0 : power of the backlight

3.5 Power supply

3.6 Keyboard

From %IO to %I24

4. Saved variables

There’s a saved RAM. This allows to manage histories.

4.1 Memory reservation in video RAM

Return = GfxCreateArray (Parameter1, Parameter2)
This function allows to reserve memory in video RAM.
Return: pointer type variable (unsigned char *). To reserve memory for another type of variable, you have to cast.
Parameter1: Byte length for 1 element.
Parameter2: The number of items to reserve.
Example:
Text Char [20];

5. Safety and warnings

Warning
If the device is not used as per these instructions, the safety of people and equipment can be compromised. We disclaim any liability for any material damage or due to improper handling or failure to comply with the safety instructions.

The interventions on the devices must be made by staff who are competent to work on electric installations.
Before all interventions, all power supplies must be switched off. The cutting devices on the installation must be dimensioned and placed according to the standard UTE C
15-100.
For all interventions on a device installed on an electric installation, the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as defined by the safety regulations on the electric installations must be carried by the worker.

In the event of a failure or malfunction, the device must not be opened and must be
returned to the factory.

Observe the following pictograms:

	Warning. On the product label this symbol means that the notice must be consulted. In this manual, this symbol indicates important information.
	Direct current.
	This device is CE approved and complies with the national and European guidelines.

6. Protection device

Quick fuse protections must be positioned on the 24 volt continuous start feeding the PLC. These fuses will be sized according to the number of devices set in series behind the start.
