SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use this unit to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators
not equipped with safeguards. To do so, can be potentially harmful to persons
or equipment in the event of a fault to the unit.
PROGRAMMABILITY
Event Driven Configuration Tool
Edict 97, an extremely powerful Windows 95/3.11 based software program,
provides for the intuitive configuration of every aspect of the operator
interface’s behavior. The requirement for time consuming PLC ladder logic is
drastically reduced by the unique event driven approach of EDICT 97. The
capability of this program, in conjunction with the PLC and the Paradigm
operator interface unit, ensures a great deal of advanced functionality for your
system. This powerful PLC/Paradigm system provides many of the capabilities
and features normally associated with the more complicated and costly
PC/SCADA systems. Display pages are easily generated, including PLC and
internal variables, text strings, or bar charts. All dynamic elements are also
available as alarms, recipes, triggers, and reports, for the run time software.
After completion of the programming, the program is directly downloaded to
the operator interface from your PC, without any compiling or saving
requirement. When you require a change in your program, EDICT 97 loads only
the change, not the entire program, saving valuable on-line time.
DYNAMIC DISPLAY PAGE ELEMENTS
Each display page has provisions to show static and dynamic information,
including data variables, text messages, time, and date.
Data Variables can be either PLC derived or internally generated, either in data
entry or display only mode. The Paradigm unit has an extremely powerful
math capability, allowing the operator to manipulate the variables to meet the
specific application’s demands. If required, the display can be formatted to
BCD, binary, hex, floating point, and string. Upper and lower limits of data
entry variables are fully supported and able to be password protected.
Text Message Animation enables several different types of animated text from
a local or global message table to be displayed. The message displayed is
dependent on the condition of the particular controlling expression. The
controlling expression may be a PLC bit level, a timer value, preset counter
condition, or any one of a wide variety of message triggers.
Time and Date in the Paradigm unit has the capability to display in any
combination of year, month, day, hours, minutes, and seconds.
Bar Graphs in horizontal format are easily attached to data variables. The
partial or full length bar graph displays can be scaled and offset to optimize
the required display effect.
SECURITY
The password protection scheme provides the ultimate in tamper-proof
capability. Access can be limited on a unit, page, recipe, or even individual data
entries.
TROUBLESHOOTING
For further technical assistance, contact technical support at the appropriate
company numbers listed.
ALARMS
The Paradigm unit can monitor and log from 100 to 500 alarms, depending
on model. Such triggers as a simple bit level transition, a PLC coil activation,
or a complex application algorithm can activate an alarm. The alarms can be
time and date stamped, with an automatic screen display and/or downloading to
a printer for hard copy recording purposes.
REAL TIME SCHEDULE
Real time schedule allows for repetitive or one time task to take place in the
system. Typically a schedule action similar to...At 1:55 PM on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday, print the production report...is required in the
application. In conjunction with the recipe capabilities, a downloading of a
special recipe can be requested by the real time schedule feature.
USER PROGRAMS
This feature offers the user the ability to incorporate custom application
requirements via a powerful program language. For example, a program
designated “Calculate Volume” which determines the amount of fluid in a round
tank at specific temperatures could be created. This program would be triggered
to run and display each time the page denoted as “Volume Now” is requested.
The ability to customize to your application’s specialized needs is easily
solved with the user program capability.
KEYBOARD EDITING
All the interface keys can be programmed to perform virtually unlimited
functions with each key, having multiple actions assigned to three types of key
events: key pressed, key held down (auto repeat), and key released. Typical key
actions would be Go to page, set value, load recipe, view alarms, print report,
and many more.
COMMUNICATIONS
With over 70 communication drivers available, the Paradigm operator
interface offers a wide range of connectivity including: PLCs, Variable Speed
Drives, Temperature Controllers, Bar Code Readers, etc. Utilizing real PLC data
references, the automatic comms configuration optimizes the system’s
communication performance. In the event that your specific driver does not
appear on the Paradigm drivers list, let us know, as this list is always being
expanded to meet our customers’ needs.

HARDWARE INFORMATION
This bulletin contains a variety of information related to the installation and
operation of the Operator Interface supplied. Ideally, you should read this
document thoroughly before attempting to use the equipment. For information
about the software aspects of the terminal, please consult other documentation.
CONTENTS OF PACKAGE
The Operator Interface is supplied in a packaging box containing the
following...
uThe interface terminal itself.
uA NEMA 4/IP65 rated mounting gasket.
uA bag containing panel hardware.
uThis hardware bulletin.
uIf any of these items is missing, please contact your supplier
immediately.
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
The Operator Interface requires a 24 V power supply rated at 0.5 A unless
otherwise stated on the label.
uThe Operator Interface requires a power supply capable of supplying a
current of 500 mA at a regulated voltage of 24 V. Supplies providing
between 18 V and 30 V are also suitable.
uThe terminal may take as little as 100 mA in certain circumstances, so
be sure that the chosen power supply can operate correctly with this
load. Large switch-mode supplies tend to need a certain minimum load
before they will operate correctly.
In any case, it is very important that the power supply is mounted correctly if
the unit is to operate reliably. A very high proportion of reported problems are
caused by incorrect power supply installation, so please take care to observe the
following points...
uThe power supply must be mounted close to the unit, with usually not
more than 6 feet of cable between the supply and the Operator Interface.
Ideally, as short a length as is possible should be used. In particular, the
power supply should not be mounted on the back of the panel when the
Operator Interface is installed in the panel door unless a short cable run
can be achieved.
uThe wire used to connect the Operator Interface’s power supply should
be of at least 22 gauge wire. If a longer cable run is used, you should
use even thicker cable. The routing of the cable should be kept away
from large contactors, inverters and other devices which may generate
significant electrical noise.
BATTERY BACKUP ISSUES
The Operator Interface is supplied with a Lithium Battery designed to
maintain the internal memory and real-time clock during power outages.
Assuming the operator interface terminal is powered up for 50% of the time,
this battery should last over 4 years. A “Battery Low” system variable is
available so that the programmer can choose specific action(s) to occur when
the battery voltage drops below its nominal voltage.
It is possible to replace the battery without losing the contents of the Operator
Interface’s memory, but this does not reduce the importance of ensuring that a
copy of the terminal’s configuration is kept readily at hand to allow the terminal
to be re-loaded in the case of mishaps. Please remember that it is not possible to
extract the contents of a terminal for subsequent re-loading, so the importance
of keeping a copy on disk cannot be over stressed.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
To change the internal battery, follow these steps...
uRemove the power and PLC communications connector from the unit.
uRemove the four screws from the rear-cover.
uRemove the cover, ensuring that the right-hand edge is raised first to
avoid fouling the earth stud. You may have to pivot the cover to an
angle of about 30°to achieve this.
uIf you wish to avoid losing the terminal’s configuration, reconnect the
power connector and re-apply power. Note that this will require the
panel to be powered-up and, as such, only suitably qualified staff should
carry out this procedure.
uThe battery is located in a holder on the main circuit board. This should
be clearly visible. Remove the battery from its holder.
uPlace the new battery in the holder. The terminal’s power supply can
now be disconnected, if you re-applied power in the step above.
uReplace the lid, screws and connector by following the above procedure
in reverse. You may like to make a note of the date the battery was
replaced to allow planned maintenance to be carried out.
uIf you did not keep the unit powered-up during battery replacement, hold
down the EXIT and MUTE keys on the keyboard and remove and then
re-apply power. This will clear the internal memory and thus the suitable
configuration database should then be re-loaded.
Please note that the old battery must be disposed of in a manner which
complies with your local waste regulations. Also, the battery must not be
disposed of in fire or in a manner whereby it may be damaged and its contents
come into contact with human skin.
INSTALLATION & CONNECTIONS
The unit meets NEMA 4/IP65 requirements for indoor use, when properly
installed. The units are intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel.
Installation Environment
The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the maximum
operating temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the unit near
devices that generate excessive heat should be avoided.
Continuous exposure to direct sunlight may accelerate the aging process of
the bezel. The bezel should be cleaned only with a soft cloth and neutral soap
product. Do NOT use solvents.
Do not use tools of any kind (screwdrivers, pens, pencils, etc.) to operate the
keypad of the unit.
CONNECTING TO A PLC
The Operator Interface is designed to operate with a PLC. A serial
communication connection must be made between the operator interface
terminal and PLC, and the details of this connection vary according to which
PLC is used.
The following section lists the connection details for the PLC to be used .
PLC TYPE
Details on how to connect to most PLCs are available on request from RLC.
CONNECTING TO AN IBM PC/AT
The Operator Interface is programmed via software running on an IBM
PC/AT or a compatible computer. The connection between the PC/AT and the
operator interface terminal is made via a custom cable provided with the EDICT
Developer’s Kit. The cable is designed for a 9-way serial port. Please contact
your supplier if you require a 25-way version.
PROGRAMMING PORT PIN OUT
The Operator Interface’s programming port is sometimes used to connect
other RS-232 devices, such as printers. The following illustration and table
gives the pin-out of this port to enable such connections to be made.
The above table denotes the pin names of the programming port. When
connecting, the pin name at the programming port is connected to the opposite
of that pin name at the destination device.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Operator Interfaces are designed for through-panel mounting. A
neoprene gasket is provided, to enable sealing to NEMA 4/IP65 specification.
The panel cut-out diagram for the model supplied is provided. All mounting
holes should be drilled for 0.14” clearance. Care should be taken to remove any
loose material from the mounting hole to avoid such metal falling into the
Operator Interface itself during installation.
FUNCTION KEY STRIPS
The function keys on the Models CL-10, CL-20, CX-100, and CX-200, have
clear windows that permit the user to insert labels appropriate to the process. A
formatted page is supplied upon which the user can enter function names (e.g.
RUN, PRINT, etc.). These strips are inserted from the rear of the panel through
slots below the function keys located underneath the gasket.
Take care that the ink applied will not rub off of the paper, or else blemishes
will be left on the inside of the window. Laminated paper or plastic film can
prove easier to insert than normal photocopier paper. It also helps if the starting
edge of the paper has about 0.25 inches of its corners cut off at a 45 degree
angle.
Note: Add an additional 1.5” to label length to allow for easier insertion and
removal.
