This application-oriented manual describes how to control HMIs with text
display, and printing and serial interfaces from within the application pro-
gram of a JC-3xx or JC-4xx control system.
1.1 Typographical conventions
This manual uses different typographical effects to support you in finding
and classifying information. Below, there is an example of a step-by-step in-
struction:
üThis symbol indicates requirements which have to be met before exe-
cuting the following action.
►This sign or a numbering at the beginning of a paragraph marks an ac-
tion instruction that must be executed by the user. Execute the instruc-
tions one after the other.
ðThe target after a list of instructions indicates reactions to, or results of
these actions.

INFO LCD110 connection
Connecting an LCD110 to a JC-4xx controller is possible pro-
vided that the display’s voltage supply (DC24V) is not taken
off the controller.
This requires an external voltage source; for details see
Verdrahtung im Multi-Display-Modus [}10].

2.2 Connecting an HMI
Prefabricated cable assemblies are available to connect a Jetter AG alphanu-
meric HMI to a controller. We recommend that the prefabricated cable assem-
blies listed in the above table be used.
Interface Connect the HMI to the X11 socket via serial interface. using RS-422 interface
standard connections.
Fig.1: Connecting HMI and controller
INFO Restriction
Irrespective of the fact that various hardware drivers have
been implemented, only one hardware interface is available.
This means: While, for example, communication via RS-422 is
taking place, simultaneous and independent communication
via RS-232 is not possible.

2.3 Connecting several HMIs: Multi-display mode
Multi-display mode allows for up to 4alphanumeric HMIs to connect to a con-
troller through one serial interface. The connected HMIs can be set up to display
identical or different text strings and/or variable content.
Interface Connect the HMI to the X11 socket via serial interface. using RS-422 interface
standard connections.

3 Control of alphanumeric HMIs
This chapter describes how to control Jetter AG HMIs with text display from
within the application program of a JC-3xx or JC-4xx control system. It also de-
scribes the registers used to parameterize the display functions. The controller
provides the following display options:
■Displaying text strings
■Displaying the contents of variables
■Scanning the HMI keys
■Switching the HMI LEDs
■Monitor function
The display feature is part of the STX language set.
INFO Further information
For a detailed description of the STX commands mentioned in
this chapter, see the JetSym Help at JetSym ST/STX projects
> JetSym STX programming language > Display commands
and user input .
3.1 Registers
INFO Limitations
The settings made in the given registers take global effect,
meaning they impact all functions for controlling HMIs. If differ-
ent settings are used in several tasks of the application pro-
gram, then these settings may impact each other.
The registers are clustered into one register block. The basic register number of
this block depends on the controller.
Register numbers Basic register number Register numbers
220000 222804...222840
In this chapter, only the last 4digits of a register number are specified, e.g.
MR2838. This is the module register. Add the basic register number of the corre-
sponding device to determine the complete register number, for example 222838.

Application-oriented manual – Control of alphanumeric HMIs (LCD) and printers 18
3.2 Configuring the screen size
During the boot process the HMI logs in to the controller and transmits its display
size. This way, the controller can configure the size automatically. Therefore,
there is no need configure the display size manually. But in some cases, this fea-
ture might make sense.
Correct configuration of the display size is required to ensure the controller cor-
rectly executes the special functions Delete Screen , and Delete to End of Line
when displaying text strings (DisplayText commands).
Configuring the
screen size manually To configure the screen size manually, proceed as follows:
1. Enter the number of characters per line into MR2805.
2. Multiply the value contained in MR2805 by the number of lines and enter the
result into MR2804.

3.3 Device numbers
The device number defines the output device. The device number is used as the
<DeviceNo> parameter with the DisplayText(), DisplayText2(),
DisplayValue() and UserInput() commands (see JetSym Help).
Overview You may enter the following values for the parameter device number:

theJX2 or JX3 system bus
Tab.4: Device number summary
Single-display mode In single-display mode, an HMI always displays data from device no. 2.
Multi-display mode In multi-display mode, an HMI always displays data from the device the number
of which is contained in the corresponding configuration register MR 2825
through MR 2828.
