See how having both HMI and Ladder Logic editors in one software package makes it easy create projects by dragging and dropping components between the two.
Drag a push button to become a ladder input.
Drag a ladder ouput to become a lamp on the HMI screen.
One of the coolest features of the Pro-face HMI, using GP-Pro EX.

Search & Replace looks through all screens in the project file for the parts or text that meet the specified conditions.
Based on the search results, you can change the attributes or replace the text.
Searching for Device Addresses leads you to all the places it has been used.
Looking for Logic Instructions can be useful for editing very long programs.
Up to 1000 search results can be displayed at once.
Scroll through the results by clicking Next then use the "Replace" or "Replace All" function to make changes as desired.

A keypad for numeric entries can prevent operator error and simplify user control.
The numbers entered by the user are displayed on the screen for verification before any action is taken.
When programming, the keyboard can be scaled and limited to prevent number entries that are out of range.
Use the Scaling Setting in the Data Display Menu to allow input and define the upper and lower limit for entry as well as alarms to alert the user to out of range numbers.

Sharing images and parts can save time and create a cohesive look among projects.
It's easy to register up to 200 of your own created parts, images, keyboards or logic programs in a single group using the Package function.
Simply open the Package list and create a new one, then drag and drop the desired parts into the window.
An icon for your new package is placed in the toolbar for quick reference.
Packages of parts and graphics can be imported and exported as a file to share.

Common headers and footers on each screen of a project speed up screen development and give a cohesive professional look.
Headers can be used to create a title or show a logo while footers are commonly used as a menu.
To create a header or footer, select the item you want to edit in the View menu.
Up to 20 headers and footers can be created.
When editing, all screens are updated instantly.
Editing one set of headers and footers which are reused throughout your project save time in programming.

The toolbar in GP-Pro EX is highly customizable.
You can add or hide standard instructions like copy, paste, delete or save.
When you're programming it can be very useful to have icons on the toolbar for commonly used ladder logic functions.
Select the instructions such as Normally Open, Normally Closed, Set or Reset buttons will appear along the top of the screen saving time and programming errors.

The Thumbnail View displays a list of existing Base or Window Screens, Logic, Keyboard, I/O or Function Blocks.
The Thumbnail icons for Base and Window screens are updated instantly to reflect the look of the screen or changes to the program and can be hidden to display the title list.
In the screen thumbnails, you can select the screen list by type, search by keyword, create new or copy screens.
Attributes for multiple screens can be changed all at once. Select the screens you want to change from the Screen List Window, then click the Change Attributes icon.
Screens can also be protected against accidental or unwanted changes with the security setting.
The thumbnail view is an easy to see and interact with your entire project from a birds eye view.

You can save the alarm history and sampling data, which is stored in the display unit's backup memory (SRAM), to an external storage device.
To save data to an external memory, edit the System Settings for the Display Unit.
In the Mode tab, choose the option to Save Data to either a CF/SD card or USB.
When saved in CSV format, you can edit the data with any spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel, or open it as a text file.

A Function Block is a group of commonly-used logic operations, combined together.
By making them a function, you can simplify the ladder logic program, and decrease processes to step required for programming.
Once you create a Function Block, you can easily place it in a logic program by dragging and dropping it.
You can protect programs from unauthorized viewing or editing, by setting passwords for Function Blocks.
Registering Function Blocks allows you to share them between projects.

Bring your screen to life with dynamic color.
No need to draw a new screen to show a small change in the process.
Vary the color of a moving part to reflect the speed.
Change a water tank from blue to red as the temperature increases.
Using color animation saves work for the programmer and catches the attention of the operator.

You can protect a project file by setting a password for file editing or transfer.
When you edit or transfer a project file, a password dialog box appears.
If you enter a valid password, you can edit or transfer the project file.
This can help protect the integrity of your project and your intellectual property, as well as providing additional safety for operators.
|
http://www.profaceamerica.com/
You can change the password and user ID while the display unit is online, no need to power down.
Passwords and user IDs can be changed on the password change screen or by reading password information that is saved on external storage in CSV file format.
Using a special switch on a maintenance screen or setting a Control Word from a script, triggers the new security file to be read.
Designated users can also change, add, and delete any users or passwords below their logged-in security level on screen.
