Programming a Seymour CM5 HMI or human machine
interface or any other unit can initially seem daunting
0:12
but it can be a rewarding experience with the proper guidance. This post will walk
you through the steps to program a Seymour HMI unit, specifically the CM5 HMI model
0:22
Whether you're a beginner or have some experience with HMI programming,
this guide will help you get started with programming your C more HMI unit
0:30
We will familiarize ourselves with a Seymour CM5 programming
software and establish communications from the PC to the CM5
0:38
We will then develop our control for our PLC ladder logic circuit. The PLC logic for
our circuit can be found in our post, how to make a start-stop jog circuit in a PLC
0:50
Our Seymour CM5 HMI panel will communicate
with the PLC simulator via Ethernet
0:56
Let's get started. Detailed information contained in
this field. video can be found at ACCautomation.ca
1:02
A link has been put in description below. If
you have not watched the other videos yet
1:07
there will be links in the description below that will start you with video
1. There will be links to the rest of the videos in the series as well
1:17
Step 1, familiarize yourself with Seymour CM5 programming
software. The first step in programming a Seymour CM5 HMI unit
1:26
is to become familiar with the Seymour programming software. This software allows
you to create a graphical interface and program the HMI units functionality
1:36
Open the C-M-R-C-M-5 programming software.
The start of project window will be shown
1:44
Enter the project name. Under the
panel type, enter the panel CM5-T7W
1:57
The panel will be orientated in the default landscape mode. This
option can be set if the panel is physically mounted vertically
2:05
We will connect the Domore Designer PLC simulator.
Set the PLC protocol for Automation Direct
2:13
Select the DoMore Ethernet, built-in memory only, for the driver. We
will export and import the tag information from the PLC to the HMI
2:23
We will only be using the built-in memory in
the simulator. Select the protocol setup button
2:32
Enter the PLC IP address we will
use in the protocol manager window
2:36
This will be the IP address of the
computer running the PLC simulator
2:40
Select OK. As we work with the Seymour CM5
programming software, you will learn how to use it
2:47
Take some time to explore the various
features and tools available in the software
2:51
And refer to the user manual for detailed instructions.
We did this last time when we installed the software
3:00
Step 2, design the HMI interface. Once you are comfortable with the C.M.
More CM5 programming software, it's time to design the HMI interface
3:12
This can be one of the hardest
things to do in HMI programming
3:16
The design must be intuitive enough so the operator can
easily maneuver around each of the screens you program
3:22
In our case, we will use just one HMI screen. HMI screen. This
will show you the start, stop, and jog buttons. It will also show
3:31
the motor output condition Once we have the design of the HMI let look at the PLC logic Here is the existing PLC program logic for the
start stop and jog Since you want to control this from the HMI we must add additional HMI input elements Remember that communication
3:51
in the PLC will happen once per scan. Communication
with the HMI is slower than the actual physical
3:57
input and outputs on the PLC within the scan. We can
easily read the status of all memory areas in the
4:03
PLC with the HMI. However, writing
information must be unique in bits and words
4:33
We have added the HMI control input
bits C0, C1, and C2 to the circuit
4:52
The HMI stop is in series with the X1
stop input and becomes normally closed
4:57
The modified PLC program will allow the
Cmore-CM5 HMI to control the start stop and job
5:03
circuit. Export the PLC tags
to use in the Seymour CM5 HMI
5:11
Select element documentation from the main menu file export.
Under the content format select the Seymour Do More driver format
5:23
Select also export used elements which do not have a
nickname. Give the file name or use the default. Select save
5:32
When designed the HMI, use the KISS method
of programming. Keep it stupidly simple
5:41
Consider your application's requirements and create a user-friendly
interface with easy access to the necessary controls and information
5:52
Step 3, program the functionality. After designing the HMI interface,
it's time to program the functionality of the Seymour-C-M-5 HMI unit
6:01
We will first import the tags into the Seymour programming
software. Select tag name database from the main menu File Import
6:12
Called the CSV file that contains
the PLC tag name stored previously
6:17
Select Open. On the import tag name database
window, select DEV-001 for the device
6:26
You can also select override existing tags if
you have previously done this and have updates
6:31
import. A message will be displayed after the
PLC tag import has been completed. Select OK
6:42
Call up the tag name database by selecting icon
on the main menu database. Select the filter icon
6:49
from the tag name database window under the
device list. Select only DVD001. This will show
6:57
only the tags we imported from the Do More
PLC. Select OK to close the Windows. window
7:05
Use the software's drag and drop interface to
place buttons, indicators, and other elements
7:09
on the HMI screen. The built-in indicator buttons will have
a separate tag for the push button and indicator lamps
7:18
Change the label to start We use the push button tag and the
indicator lamp as the same tag This will be the HMI start
7:31
The object type will be momentary on. Select OK. We can
now move and resize the indicator button on our screen
7:41
Repeat the previous steps for our stop and jog indicator buttons. The options tag will allow you to set the
object visibility, sound, delay press, and release the object visibility, sound, delay press, and release the
8:19
We will leave everything as their default. The password tab
will allow you to set the password and level if applicable
8:49
Once all the buttons are on the screen,
you can space and move them around
9:19
Under the object list, select indicator light
9:29
Our tag name for this light
9:45
Our tag name for this
light will be Y0. Select OK
9:55
Position and size the indicator lamp on the screen. HMI programming
involves designing, setting up communication with the PLCs or other devices
10:05
creating alarms and notifications, and defining
the behavior of various screen elements
10:11
Sometimes you can use the software's built-in
programming tools to add logic and interactivity
10:15
to the HMI interface. Save your
program. Step 4, test and debug
10:25
Once the programming is complete, it's
essential to thoroughly test the HMI interface
10:29
to ensure that it functions as intended. Use the simulation
feature in the Seymour software to test the HMI interface
10:36
without the actual hardware. Select the
simulator icon F5 from the main menu Home tab
10:45
Select Start on a simulator window. When programmed, the simulator
will give a good approximation of the physical screens appearance
10:56
There is no communication to external devices. You can double
click on the item which will turn on and off to show the display
11:31
Click the X on either of the simulator
windows to stop the simulation
11:45
We can now download our program to the
physical Seymour HMI unit for further testing
11:52
Debug any issues that arise during the testing
and make necessary adjustments to the programming
11:59
Step 5, deploy the CM5 application. After thorough testing and
debugging, deploy the HMI application to the Seymour HMI unit
12:08
Select Transfer Program on the main menu or
select Project Transfer under the panel menu
12:14
Under the transfer heading on the Project Transfer window, select Ethernet. Select
the browse button to search the network if your powered CM5 HMI is not seen
12:26
Ensure that your CM5 is connected to
the PLC in one of the following ways
12:31
Select the transfer button to
download the program to the CM5 HMI
12:39
A warning message indicates that this IP
address can be changed from the HMI software
12:45
Select OK. The program will be transferred. When the
download completes, a notification will be given, select OK
12:54
Our CM5 is now programmed. Ensure that it
operates correctly in the intended environment
13:00
Make sure that the PLC simulator is in run
mode. Select the HMI buttons to test the program
13:13
Programming a C more HMI
unit such as a CM5 HMI model
13:18
involves familiarizing yourself with a programming software, design the
HMI interface, programming the functionality, testing, and debugging
13:26
and finally deploying the HMI application. You can proficiently program. C. Moore's
HMI units with patience and practice and create powerful user-friendly interfaces
