Introduction
This leaflet describes the operator´s panels
MAC 10/MTA-10 and MAC 12/MTA-12.
Hereafter these products are referred to as the
terminal. In the manual we refer to the software
package MAC Programmer/SW-MTA for DOS
and MAC Programmer+/SW-MTA-WIN for
Windows. Hereafter these products are referred
to as the PC software.
The terminal is operator’s panel in a family of
terminals developed to satisfy the demands
made for man-machine communication.
The functions built into the terminal include
among other things the possibility to display
text with dynamic indication, maneuvring
objects and time channel control. MAC 12/
MTA-12 also include function for datalogging
and recipes.
A terminal is programmed from a PC with the
PC software. The programmed project is stored
in the terminal. Terminals have for the most part
an object-orientated way of working which
makes them easy to use.

Summary of functions
Textblock
Textblock is used to build up dialogs. A Text-
block can consist of an arbitrary number of text
lines of up to 16 characters long.
Static text
Static text is text written in textblock which is
not changed when executing the program.
Dynamic objects
Dynamic objects are fields in the text which are
linked to the signals in the PLC system. There
are 7 types of dynamic object: digital, analog,
jump, date/time, bar graph, multiple choice
object and text object.
Time channels
Time channels make it possible to set a digital
signal ON or OFF controlled by the real time
clock, that is, to enable you to ensure that a cer-
tain function is ON during certain periods of the
day.
Data logging/recipes
Only valid for MAC 12/MTA-12. A part of the
project memory can be set aside for logging
data and storing recipes.

Installation
The terminals are connected to FX0, FX0N or
FX PLC system.
Connection to a FX0/FX0N
PLC system
Connect the MAC 10/12-CAB (8-pin MINI-
DIN) cable to the outlet in the bottom of the ter-
minal. The cable is straight; the contact at each
end is compatible with both the terminal and the
PLC system. The cable has a maximum length
of 3 m and the communication speed is 9600
baud. The terminal is powered by the PLC
system via the cable supplied. If a longer cable
is required, the terminal must be powered from
a source other than the PLC system.
