This part describes the new version for users who are already familiar with the non-windows version of the SEDOMAT 3500.

The goal for the new concept was to increase the user friendliness and the look. Theuser interface now is based on PHQXV, GLDORJ�ER[HV and LFRQV and is similar to MS-Windows, used on today’s personal computers, making the SEDOMAT 3500 moreinteractive than before.

Each IXQFWLRQ�NH\ (in version 0.xx these were called softkeys) opens a PHQX.� Selectingan item in this menu executes immediately a task or first opens a GLDORJ�ER[. A dialogbox gives a clear overview of all relevant information, parameters and selections andlets the operator fill in and check everything before accepting the dialog box.Furthermore, the menu tree is reorganized. The function key area and menus have thesame contents in all screens. Menu-items are disabled when they are not relevant in acertain situation. This fixed menu structure helps the operator to memorize the locationof each menu-item.

Each function key, menu-item, function, process parameter, etc. is represented by anLFRQ. Icons are self-explaining and visualize the adjacent text. For function keys, only anicon is shown. Pressing the function key will show the adjacent text on top of theopened menu. Icons allow operators speaking different languages to use the controllerwithout having to select another language first. Furthermore, the icons are compatiblewith the SEDOMAT 1500 and SEDOMAT 600. The definition of the icons representingfunctions and parameters is part of the configuration.


Compared to version 0.xx, following items have also been changed:

• Programming pathsFeedback from our customers told us that the fourth programming path wasn’t oftenused and so decided to limit the default number of parallel paths to three. This resultsin a clearer structured screen and important increase of speed. However, for userswho still want four paths, the SEDOMAT parameter 6 (PROGR.PATHS) can bechanged.

• Status areaThe position in the dye program curve is shown in the status area. Furthermore, twoprocess parameters have been added, bringing the total number to six.

• Display backlighting save modeWhen no keys are pressed for ±2 minutes, the brightness of the screen is halved. Thisincreases the lifetime of the backlighting lamp.

• SpeedThere is a considerable increase of speed making working with the SEDOMAT 3500more pleasant.

• SecurityEach menu-item can be secured with an operator or a supervisor code.

• BarcodeAn optional barcode reader can be used to scan data to fill in alphanumericalwindows and to scan formatted barcodes to execute a command such as a stopdeclaration.

These latest improvements on the previous generation SEDOMAT 3500 are of coursealso implemented:

• MS-DOS-compatible memory card.

• Access only via code.

• History: batch oriented.

• Events logging.


��

This is the screen coming up ±30 seconds after power on. It is called the 0DFKLQH

YLHZ.

The screen is dominated by the machine drawing. The upper area of the screen is theVWDWXV�DUHD (1), the middle part the GLDORJ�DUHD (2), and the lower part is the IXQFWLRQ�NH\DUHD (3). For the dialog area, the operator can, besides the default 0DFKLQH�YLHZ,select between the 3URJUDP�YLHZ�� )XQFWLRQ�YLHZ and +LVWRU\�YLHZ.

For the service engineer, there is also the 6HUYLFH�YLHZ giving an overview of thePLCs in- and outputs, functions, parameters and information.

To change the display brightness, press H and , or H and +.Attention: this is only possible in the 0DFKLQH�YLHZ.Remark: the display brightness decreases automatically after ±2 minutes nokeyboard activity.

The status area is always updated in real time, no matter what is displayed in the dialogarea. The status area shows following information:

1. The status icon indicating the status of the program:

Running

Stopped

Halted

The status icon of the master additionally shows "2" in case of coupledSEDOMATs.The status icon of the slave only shows the color in case of coupledSEDOMATs.

2. Batch identification.3. An icon indicating the status of the batch:

= batch loaded = batch started = batch finished

no icon = no batch loaded.4. Program number and name.5. The program steps in the main path, which is active and contains the sequence

pointer.6. For the second path, only an icon represents the active program step.7. The icon for the active program step in the third path.8. When the SEDOMAT is to operate with four paths, there will be another icon

representing the active program step in the fourth path:

9. Alarms, local messages or PLC messages. See also 8.1.1.10. Maximum 6 most important process-values.11. The first logged numerical info is displayed. Usually, this is the dye program curve

(temperature vs. time). See also 9.2.

During program run, the 0DFKLQH�YLHZ (see above) visualizes in real time the statusof the dyeing process by filling the symbols for the machine parts with a certain color.The view is not updated when a dialog box is on top of it. Examples of what can beshown are the filling of a tank, the activation of valves, the movement of the cover of atank, the temperature of the liquid (blue or red). Furthermore, process values measuredin the machine are displayed on the exact location in the machine drawing on the screen.

��

This view shows in real time the active program functions in the three (see first picture)or four (see second picture) parallel paths of the running program. The view is notupdated when a dialog box is on top of it. The screen shows up to seven program lines.The program line in the magnified area (1) shows all function parameters, the otherprogram lines only show the first two parameters (3-path mode) or the first parameter(4-path mode). A detail view allows seeing all parameters in detail: see 6.9.

As the program advances, the program lines are shifted up. The operator can interfere inthe running program and for example continue the program on another line or changethe function parameters.

The blue rectangle (2) is the cursor. An active function is on a green background (3).Magenta pointers (4) show the position of the program sequencers.

This view shows the status of main, parallel and data functions. The function icon, nameand status are listed. The status box is filled red for to indicate an active function.

See also 6.7.4.

4-path mode:


��

The +LVWRU\�YLHZ shows up to four numerical or logical values that indicate thecourse of the dye program (1). Furthermore, events such as program start/stop, alarms,function events can be visualized (2).

The history is batch-oriented (3). This means that the operator can select a previousbatch out of the list of recorded batches. When the +LVWRU\�YLHZ is selected, thehistory of the current active batch is displayed.

See also 9.2.

��

This area shows eight buttons that can contain an icon. The icon visualizes thefunctionality of the function key that is located under it. If no icon is present, thefunction key has no function.

When the screen shows one of the five main views, the function keys { … ö are usedto open a menu. Function key ú opens the 2SHUDWRU�GLDORJ�ER[.

When the screen shows a dialog box, the function keys that can be used in that dialogbox, are shown in the dialog box and in the function key area.

For security reasons, the supervisor can define for which menu options and views anaccess code is required. There are two code levels: operator level and supervisor level.When selecting a protected entry, the SEDOMAT asks for the code:

Enter the code and press J.

Entering the code allows access to all menu options and views protected on that level.The access times out when there is no keyboard activity for ±2 minutes. Once aprotected dialog box or view is opened, the access permission persists, even after longkeyboard inactivity. When afterwards another protected menu or view is selected, thecode has to be reentered.

,�� $��The SEDOMAT works with batches. Each batch has a G\H�SURJUDP related to it andmay be accompanied by EDWFK�SDUDPHWHUV and EDWFK�LQIRUPDWLRQ. The batch parametersallow that the same dye program is used for different filling levels or with differentquantities of chemicals. The batch information has no influence on the dyeing process.This information is only used to provide additional data about the batch.

The SEDOMAT can be loaded with two batches: the FXUUHQW�EDWFK and the VHFRQGEDWFK. While the current batch is running, the program for the second batch can alreadybe loaded, allowing SDUDOOHO�IXQFWLRQV in it to be activated. For example, the side tankcan be filled from the moment that the tank is no longer needed for the current batch.

Batches can be entered on the SEDOMAT or can be fetched from SEDOMASTER.SEDOMASTER allows planning of batches.

Batches are moved from the second batch to the current batch when a program ends.This is illustrated with following tables. The first flowchart is for stand-aloneSEDOMATs, the second flowchart is in case SEDOMASTER is used.

A dye program consists of a sequence of functions that are executed. Most functionshave parameters. For example, the function 5(*8/$7,21 has the parameters

7,0(, 7(03(5$785( and *5$',(17. The function and the parametersare represented by an icon: a large icon for the function, small icons for the functionparameters:

3-path mode: or 4-path mode:

When the function is not in the magnified area, only the two first function parametersare shown in 3-path mode, and the first function parameter in 4-path mode:

3-path mode: or 4-path mode:

The dye program is divided in three (default) or four paths. The left path alwayscontrols the main dyeing process. The other parallel paths usually control the side tanksand the dye kitchen. Each path contains functions applying to the corresponding tank.

A program is executed line by line. All functions on a program line are executedsimultaneously. When a line is finished, i.e. the SEDOMAT received anacknowledgement from the PLC for all functions on the line, then the next line isexecuted. For some functions, an acknowledgement that the previous function is done,is not required, so the SEDOMAT will not wait to execute it. This way, it is possiblethat in the same path, two functions are active at the same time. Example: during thefilling of the dye kitchen, the operator is called to add dyestuff.

Each path has a VHTXHQFH�SRLQWHU pointing to the function being executed or pointing tothe function that will be executed next. Sequence pointers are magenta.

A program always contains special functions that control the flow of the program. Thesefunctions do not perform any action on the dyeing machine. These functions are green.Examples: 352*�67$57, /$%(/�)81&7�, -803,� �352*�(1'.

There are four ways a batch can be started:

• The operator presses the green key ï on the SEDOMAT.• When the current batch ends, the second batch becomes the current one and is started

automatically.• SEDOMASTER automatically starts a batch according the planning.• A batch is started manually on SEDOMASTER.

Once a program is running, the contents of the &XUUHQW�EDWFK�GLDORJ�ER[ canno longer be changed, but only be consulted. Also the 6HFRQG�EDWFK GLDORJER[ is disabled for changes if it contains parallel functions that are already active.A batch has to be aborted and reentered to change: see 7.9.

Operator interventions that require a decision from the operator concerning the programflow after the intervention, are programmed with the special function Operator call.. Anexample of this is the function “take a sample”. When the program executes an

23(5$725&$//, the program waits for operator intervention. The status areashows 23(5$725&$// for all paths:

Depending on the configuration and the IL in the PLC, an external attention signal willbe given, or an alarm will be generated.

When the 3URJUDP�YLHZ or 0DFKLQH�YLHZ are displayed, the 2SHUDWRU�FDOOGLDORJ�ER[ is shown automatically. When the SEDOMAT is in another view, the userhas to press | ,QWHUYHQWLRQV�and ø 2SHUDWRU�FDOO��The 2SHUDWRU�FDOO�GLDORJ�ER[ shows the stop reason in the title bar and followingoptions:

When the additionalprogram is finished, the same Operator call is executed again, allowing the operatorto execute the same or another additional program or to go to the next line.Example: The operator selects an appropriate additional program depending on thesample.


In the 3URJUDP�YLHZ, an additional program is indicated with a blue titlebar:

*RWR�ODEHOIs enabled when the program contains at least one label. A label is a special functionfor marking the beginning of a specific program section. Program sections intendedto be used with an Operator call are usually put at the end of the program and have a“jump function” to return to the Operator call.The label list contains the program line for easier location in the program in case thesame label is used more than once. The operator selects one of the labels. Theprogram will resume with the program line after this label.Example: The operator selects a label that marks an appropriate part of the programdepending on the sample.

In the 3URJUDP�YLHZ this can also be done with J.

Before selecting one of the three options in the 2SHUDWRU�FDOO�GLDORJ�ER[, the usercan leave this dialog box (K) if some other action on the SEDOMAT is necessary:

• Leave the 2SHUDWRU�FDOO�GLDORJ�ER[ with K.• Other action(s).• Recall the 2SHUDWRU�FDOO�GLDORJ�ER[�with | ,QWHUYHQWLRQV�andø 2SHUDWRU�FDOO�� in any view or by pressing J in the 3URJUDP�YLHZ.

,��6%��

Besides the special function 23(5$725&$//, with which the program flow canbe changed by the operator (see 6.10), also parallel functions are possible to call for theoperator's intervention. For example a function like &$//�7$1.B$�calls theoperator to do something with tank A and to confirm when the action is done.

The mechanism used by the SEDOMAT and PLC to execute such function is thefollowing: when a CALL function is executed by the SEDOMAT, it is send to the PLC.To notify the operator, the PLC can e.g. activate a lamp, or send a PLC message to be


displayed the SEDOMAT (see 8.3). When the intervention is done, the operatorconfirms by e.g. pressing a button on the control panel of the machine or by pressing auser key on the SEDOMAT (see 4.3.11). After confirmation, the program sequencerjumps to the next function in the same parallel path.

,��9�� %��

Usually, all functions have constant function parameters, but the programmer candecide not to fill in a parameter value, but to leave the selection of the parameter valueto the operator. The function parameter is therefore defined as a TXHVWLRQ�SDUDPHWHU. Inthe 3URJUDP�YLHZ, such parameter is displayed as red question marks:

When the controller executes a function with a question parameter the status area willdisplay alarm 79 ENTER QUESTION PARAMETER. Depending on the configurationand the IL in the PLC, an external attention signal will be given.

When the operator now enters the 3URJUDP�YLHZ, or when the 3URJUDP�YLHZ isalready displayed, the (GLW�IXQFWLRQ�GLDORJ�ER[ comes on the screen showing thefunction definition. (This dialog box is the same as for editing a dye program.) Only thewindows with the function parameters that have to be defined by the operator areenabled. Press ú ([HFXWH to close the dialog box. When the default parameter valueswill be used, the operator can immediately press ú ([HFXWH.

After closing the dialog box, the function will be executed and the program continues.In the 3URJUDP�YLHZ, the red question marks are replaced by the selected parameter:

In situations where machines can operate in coupled mode, each SEDOMAT can haveone of following statuses:

1RUPDO

The SEDOMAT operates stand-alone.

0DVWHU

This SEDOMAT runs the dye program and controls its PLC. This PLC controlsthe PLC of the slave machine. The master SEDOMAT waits for anacknowledgement of both PLCs before executing the next program line.Only one SEDOMAT can be the master.In the right bottom corner of the status icon, a "2" marks the coupled mode. Seealso 2.1.

6ODYH

A slave SEDOMAT listens to the master and cannot run a dye program. A slaveSEDOMAT functions as an external display for the master SEDOMAT. Only theMachine Synoptic can be observed, all other views (except the 6HUYLFH�YLHZ)are disabled.The status area shows the status of the slave machine. The status icon only showsa color square. See also 2.1.It is only possible to stop the program on this SEDOMAT.


'�(�� In normal circumstances, this is when no manual interventions are required, onlyfollowing softkeys are used to run programs:

ï 6WDUW�SURJUDP|ø 2SHUDWRU�FDOO��}÷ &XUUHQW�EDWFK��}ø 6HFRQG�EDWFK��

The use of these keys is explained in chapter 6.

In some cases however, the normal course of a dye program has to be manipulated.Examples:

• Stop the dye process for a longer period, e.g. the weekend.• Abort a batch for some reason.• Change function parameters and start/stop functions: during program development,

for tests, to correct program errors, to solve disturbances and malfunctions.

For this, the SEDOMAT offers several tools in the ,QWHUYHQWLRQV�PHQX.

$WWHQWLRQDuring normal operation, make as less interventions in a running program as possible.The tools described in this chapter should only be used in exceptional circumstancesand with great care. Usually, the configuration of the SEDOMAT and PLC define somesafety measures, but the user has to be sure that the intervention he will take is safe.Concerning SEDOMASTER, the planning can be disorganized.

When a dye process has to be interrupted for a longer period, e.g. for the weekend, theoperator or supervisor has to indicate a program line on which it is safe to stop theprogram. No need to wait until the program reaches a safe position and then stop, but aninterrupt can be inserted beforehand.

Technically, an interrupt can be put on any program line. To set an interrupt:

• Select the 3URJUDP�YLHZ.• Browse to the program line on which the program has to stop.• Open the �,QWHUYHQWLRQV�PHQX (|) and select ,QWHUUXSW (ç).

Immediately after setting an interrupt, the active function in the main path returns to themagnified area. A program line with an interrupt gets a red background (1).

As long as the interrupt is not yet reached, it is possible to:

• Delete the interrupt: Repeat the | ø ,QWHUUXSW key sequence on the sameprogram line.

• Move the interrupt: Just set an interrupt on the new program line.

When the sequencer reaches the marked program line, the program stops. The markedline is not executed. To resume the program, press ï.

When an error occurs in the SEDOMAT, the PLC, the dyeing process or the machine,an alarm is generated. In case of a serious error, the program is stopped or halted. A stopends the program immediately and completely. A halt stops the sequencers. The activefunctions are completed. In case of a warning alarm, there is no influence on the dyeingprocess.

An alarm can result in the activation of a lamp or a horn. This goes via the alarmmarker. There are five different alarm markers for different levels of importance. Theconfiguration defines which alarm marker is activated by the alarm. The IL in the PLCdefines what happens when an alarm marker is set.

.��

All alarms have a priority. The alarm with the highest priority is displayed in the statusarea of the SEDOMAT with the alarm icon (1) and on a red background (2). When thereare two alarms with the same priority, then the first occurred alarm is displayed.

The other alarms can only be seen via the $ODUPV�GLDORJ�ER[ (see below). Whenthere are no alarms, the reserved area is used for local or PLC messages. Thesemessages indicate background actions. Local messages are displayed on a pinkbackground and PLC messages on a green background. They have the icon . See 0and 8.3.

The dialog box shows all currently active alarms. The list is updated in real time. Thealarms are listed in priority order, with the highest priority on top of the list. The listshows the alarm number, the corresponding text and the action.

There are three possible actions taken by the SEDOMAT:

• Stop program: The program is stopped immediately and completely. The user hasto remove the cause for the alarm and then delete the alarm.

• Halt program: The sequencers are stopped and the active functions are completed.The user has to remove the cause for the alarm and then delete thealarm.

• No action: The program proceeds. These alarms are warnings. They disappearautomatically when the cause for the alarm is removed.

The 96 alarms are divided according their origin:

• Alarm 1-32, 41-49, 57-64: User alarms. These alarms are defined during theconfiguration.

• Alarm 33-40, 50-55: System alarms caused by the PLC• Alarm 65-95: System alarms caused by SEDOMAT

The SEDOMAT records analog values (e.g. temperature, pressure, level) and logicalvalues (e.g. pump direction). The data is memorized per batch, along with all events(see 9.5). There is one record each minute. There is no recording during the inactivetime between batches.

The oldest batch data is removed when there is insufficient memory for the new batchdata. The number of recorded batches is limited to 20. The amount of recorded timedepends on the number of analog values that are recorded. This number is defined bythe configuration and is maximum eight.

Maximum number of recorded hours:

Number of recorded values Number of recorded hours

In the +LVWRU\ YLHZ you can observe the curves of the current batch and of recordedbatches.

When the SEDOMAT is connected to a PC running the SEDOMASTER software, thebatch data is also logged on the PC and can be examined with the SEDOMASTERsoftware. For customers with stand-alone SEDOMATs, we offer the PC-software “HistoryConvert” (part number A102026) to convert batch data to ASCII-format, so it can beopened and examined with e.g. Microsoft Excel. The data is transferred fromSEDOMAT to PC using a memory card. The PC must of course have a PCMCIA slot.See also 6XSHUYLVRU�PDQXDO��.
