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.

Connection to a FX PLC system
The terminal is connected to a FX PLC system
using the FX-20P-CABN cable. The cable has a
macimum length of 3 meter and the communi-
cation speed i 9600 baud.
The terminal is powered by the PLC system via
the cable. If a longer cable is required, the ter-
minal must be powered from a source other than
the PLC system.
Connection to a personal
computer
The terminal is connected to a personal compu-
ter using a SC06N adapter. The maximum cable
length is 3 meter and the communication speed
is 9600 baud.
Programming from personal
computer
You program the terminal with the PC software
installed on a personal computer. The terminal
will enter the ”Communication with MP” mode
if you keep the keys [←] [-] pressed during ter-
minal power up.
The PC software can also be used to make a
backup of the terminal project.

Settings
All settings for the terminal must be done in the
PC software. It is assumed that the PC software
for Windows is installed on your PC and that
you have started up with a new project. See the
PC software maunal for further details.
A number of basic settings have to be entered
before using the terminal. The settings are
entered in the PC software. The following set-
tings are necessary:
Choice of PLC system
You must choose to which PLC system the ter-
minal is to be connected. Select New in the
menu File. In the dialogue box Project settings
you select PLC system and type of terminal.
Choice of character set and
menu language
The majority of languages have letters which
are specific to that language. Various menu lan-
guages can be chosen. Select Country
settings in the menu Setup and then select
required character set and menu language.
This manual assumes that English has been
chosen as menu language.

A small example
The following section gives a small example of
how to start creating applications quickly. The
example follows the whole sequence from buil-
ding up an application to executing to the PLC
system. The terminal must be connected to a
personal computer with the PC software. In this
example we shall make a textblock which shows
the status of the X0 input.
Start the PC software. First we have to create a
project. Select New in the File menu. In the dia-
logue box displayed you select terminal type
and PLC system. Then press OK. (See Set-
tings).
The Block list will now be displayed. Select
New to create a textblock. Now the Block hea-
der is displayed.
In this example we shall define a textblock.
1. Enter the number of the block here, in this
case 0.
2. Click on the button Status...
3. Mark the alternative Put cursor at first
man. object.
4. Press OK.
5. Press OK to begin editing the block. A field
will be shown.
6. Select Digital text in the Object menu.
7. First enter which I/O signal the object is to
illustrate. Do this by entering the required
address, in this case X0, after the text Digi-
tal signal. Press the Tab key to move the
cursor to the next field.
8. Enter the text which will be displayed when
the signal is 0, in this example OFF. Press
the Tab key.
9. Enter the text which will be displayed when

the signal is 1, in this example ON.
10. Press OK to close the dialog box. The dyna-
mic object is now shown by # and two - on
the screen.
When the program is ready you can connect the
terminal to the PLC system.
