Wecon HMI Customize CAN Bus design instruction

Wecon HMI Customize CAN Bus design instruction

WECON CAN bus protocol can be customized to satisfy different customers’ different needs. It’s the data transfer rules package of CAN chip.

1. Data send
When HMI prepare to send data, the ID number and DATA must be filled. According to CAN protocol, the limit of ID length is 4 bytes while DATA is 8 bytes. Customer can modify these contents through HMI’s script.

Instruction list of special register in HMI:

















2. Data receive

The picture below is the data receive flow chart of HMI CAN bus.
The example of using script to receive CAN BUS data:

Wecon hmi configuration monitor and video input solution

Basically, as the operation panel for industrial control, HMI don’t need to play video. But in some occasions, we do need to monitor some place. So WECON customize the special need for the customers.

Video play principles

WECON HMI can play the video download from specified network. Its format is AVI whose size could be from several M bytes to several G bytes. WECON HMI adopts the cycling display mode. The distribution and play of video data is shown as follows:

Elements in the system:

Server:
use to store the video data, as FTP server for HMI downloading.
HMI: if there’s no operation in a specified time, it will display video which is stored in CF card. The largest CF card WECON can support is 4G.
Ethernet: connect HMI and server.

Video data management:
1. The video data played by HMI are all managed and distributed from server.
2. The server offer FTP service to allow HMI download video data.
3. The format of video can be AVI, DAT, 3GP and so on. The resolution must be less then 640*480.
4. We can set HMI’s IP, net gate parameters and server’s IP address.
5. HMI download from server through FTP at fixed period.
6. The new download video will cover the original video data.

The procedure of video play:

1. Play automatically

When there’s no operation on HMI in a certain period, HMI will play the video cycling.
2. Click to play
Click the video play button to play the video.

Configuration monitor:

WECON HMI connect with PLC through communication port such as RS232 and RS485. The screen can show as picture style. It’s the same with general human machine interface. We don’t discuss redundancy here.

The parameter of WECON HMI hardware:

Type: LEVI-777T
LCD: 7” TFT true color LCD
Color: 65536 colors
Resolution: 640*480(SVGA)
Backlight: LED backlight, 350lm
Life: more than 50,000 hours
Touch screen: four lines resistance type
CPU: RISC CPU 200MHZ
Power supply: DC24V
Power consumption: less than 10W
CF card: 1~4G
Port 1: RS232/RS485
Port 2: RS232/RS485/RS422
Ethernet: 10/100M self-adaption
Operation system: WINCE 5.0
Configuration software: WECON Levistudio

How to set address mapping on Wecon HMI

How to map
1 Click on Settings-->;Address Mapping
2 Click Word Addr to set word address mapping
Here
l Source addresses are the external addresses.
l Target addresses are the external addresses such as HDW7.
l Mapping mode are read and write by default.
l Now Length 
If you set length 1 ,source address 421 , target address HDW21
That means the address HDW21 maps 421, only one address mapping.
If you set length 2, source address 47, target address HDW7.
That means the address HDW7 maps the address47 and the address HDW8 maps the address 48, two addresses mapping.
Tip: the biggest length is 20.
