HMI Short Guide

This template gives the possibility to enable and to test both Bipolar and Unipolar Valves.

Thanks to Menu button, you can set the control and setting parameters linked to both bipolar and unipolar
valves. Settings page can be open also from the other pages by a long press of Enter button.
Note that Commissioning and Installer menus of Free Studio Plus project are aligned with the HMI pages.

There are two Settings pages: Settings – Bipolar and Settings - Unipolar.
In Settings pages, you can choose how to send the new parameter configuration to your driver.

Setting ‘Send Config= Auto’, the new configuration is send when E2_uidE00 is modified.

Otherwise, if ‘Send Config=Manual’, the two buttons, SendCfg B and SendCfg U, appear when a settings
parameter has been changed and the new configuration of the valve needs to be sent.

Note that the EEV regulation must be disabled in order to send the configuration, otherwise the message
reported below will appear:

On the other hand, if the regulation was turned off, another message will confirm you that the configuration
has been sent.

Once the setting is finished, it is possible to come back to EEV test page and enable the valve that you want
to test (if not done yet).

It is possible to choose the control type between:

• AFB/SH: the control is managed by the standard AFB based on the SuperHeat and MOP (if enabled)
calculation
• Manual HMI: it allows to set an open percentage of the valve directly from HMI
• Manual AI: it allows to ask an open percentage of the valve by an analog input

Clicking on Test B. or Test U., you can start your test.

Based on the control type, it is possible to access on a page where the main information about the valve are
reported. The En and Enable fields give the possibility to activate/stop the regulation of the valve.

The Mode field equal to Unready means that the valve is not already available to be controlled, e.g. during
battery charging phase.

If there are some active alarms, the alarm icon will appear, and it will allow to see the detailed list of the
active alarms.

Safety Information

Appendix
A
Before You Begin
General. The products specified in this document have been tested under actual service conditions. Of course, your
specific application requirements may be different from those assumed for this and any related examples described
herein. In that case, you will have to adapt the information provided in this and other related documents to your
particular needs. To do so, you will need to consult the specific product documentation of the hardware and/or software
components that you may add or substitute for any examples specified in this documentation. Pay particular attention
and conform to any safety information, different electrical requirements and normative standards that would apply to
your adaptation.

WARNING: REGULATORY INCOMPATIBILITY

Be sure that all equipment applied and systems designed comply with all applicable local, regional and national
regulations and standards. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

Note. Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel. No
responsibility is assumed by Schneider Electric for any consequences arising out of the use of this material. A qualified
person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of electrical equipment and its
installation, and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved. Failure to observe this
information can result in injury or equipment damage.
The use and application of the information contained herein require expertise in the design and programming of
automated control systems. Only the user or integrator can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during
installation and setup, operation, and maintenance of the machine or process, and can therefore determine the
automation and associated equipment and the related safeties and interlocks which can be effectively and properly
used. When selecting automation and control equipment, and any other related equipment or software, for a particular
application, the user or integrator must also consider any applicable local, regional or national standards and/or
regulations.
Some of the major software functions and/or hardware components used in the proposed architectures and examples
described in this document cannot be substituted without significantly compromising the performance of your
application. Further, any such substitutions or alterations may completely invalidate any proposed architectures,
descriptions, examples, instructions, wiring diagrams and/or compatibilities between the various hardware components
and software functions specified herein and in related documentation. You must be aware of the consequences of any
modifications, additions or substitutions.
A residual risk, as defined by EN/ISO 12100-1, Article 5, will remain if:
• it is necessary to modify the recommended logic and if the added or modified components are not properly
integrated in the control circuit;

7
• you do not follow the required standards applicable to the operation of the machine, or if the adjustments to and
the maintenance of the machine are not properly made (it is essential to strictly follow the prescribed machine
maintenance schedule);
• the devices connected to any safety outputs do not have mechanically-linked contacts.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT INCOMPATIBILITY

Read and thoroughly understand all device and software documentation before attempting any component
substitutions or other changes related to the application examples provided in the document. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in injury, or equipment damage.

Start-Up and Test

Before using electrical control and automation equipment after design and installation, the application and associated
functional safety system must be subjected to a start-up test by qualified personnel to verify correct operation of the
equipment. It is important that arrangements for such testing be made and that enough time is allowed to perform
complete and satisfactory testing.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT OPERATION HAZARD

• Verify that all installation and set up procedures have been completed.
• Before operational tests are performed, remove all blocks or other temporary holding means used for shipment from
all component devices.
• Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury, or equipment damage.

Verify that the completed system, including the functional safety system, is free from all short circuits and grounds,
except those grounds installed according to local regulations. If high-potential voltage testing is necessary, follow the
recommendations in equipment documentation to help prevent injury or equipment damage.

Operations and Adjustments

Regardless of the care exercised in the design and manufacture of equipment or in the selection and ratings of
components, there are hazards that can be encountered if such equipment is improperly installed and operated.
In some applications, such as packaging machinery, additional operator protection such as point-of-operation guarding
must be provided. This is necessary if the hands and other parts of the body are free to enter the pinch points or other
hazardous areas where serious injury can occur. Software products alone cannot protect an operator from injury. For
this reason, the software cannot be substituted for or take the place of point-of-operation protection.

WARNING: UNGUARDED MACHINERY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY

• Do not use this software and related automation equipment on equipment which does not have point-of -operation
protection.
• Do not reach into machinery during operation.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

8
Ensure that appropriate safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks related to point-of-operation protection have been
installed and are operational before placing the equipment into service. All interlocks and safeties related to point-of-
operation protection must be coordinated with the related automation equipment and software programming.

Note. Coordination of safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks for point-of-operation protection is outside the scope
of the examples and implementations suggested herein. It is sometimes possible to adjust the equipment incorrectly
and this produce unsatisfactory or unsafe operation. Always use the manufacturer instructions as a guide to functional
adjustments. Personnel who have access to these adjustments must be familiar with the equipment manufacturer
instructions and the machinery used with the electrical equipment.
Only those operational adjustments actually required by the machine operator should be accessible to the operator.
Access to other controls should be restricted to help prevent unauthorized changes in operating characteristics.

Limitation of liability. The user retains full responsibility for testing the hardware and software solution where the
Application Addons library contents are used.
