2 Integrated HMI function

2.1 OverviewThe Integrated HMI function consists of the following software components:

HMI Editor (for offline configuration) HMI runtime system (installed on the RTU)

The HMI Editor allows you to create customer-specific HMI pages using predefined componentsfrom the included HMI Library.

You can use the HMI Editor to connect dynamic components to RTU data points. To support thisfeature, the HMI Editor reads the list of data points from the RTUtil500 configuration file.

For each Integrated HMI function of the RTU500 series, the HMI Editor generates an HMI projectfile (see "Fig. 1: Overview", page 1). The HMI project file is an additional configuration file thatneeds to be uploaded to the RTU.

2.2 Connecting RTUs to a PCTo connect an RTU to a PC, use one of the following connection options:

Local area network (LAN) connection Wide area network (WAN) connection Dialed line or modem (PPP) connection Direct serial (PPP) connection USB interface connection (only RTU511)

ABB AG - 1KGT 150 800 V0021 | 3-1

3 Organization of the Integrated HMI

3.1 Elements of the Integrated HMI functionThe Integrated HMI function consists of the following elements:

HMI Editor HMI Library User project HMI server HMI application HMI client

3.1.1 HMI EditorThe HMI Editor is an offline program for configuring user-specific pages for the Integrated HMI usingpredefined components from the included HMI Library.

It generates user projects that can be uploaded to the RTU's CompactFlash file system. Userprojects can be deployed as HMI applications.

3.1.2 User projectsA user project consists of one or more pages to which you can add components from the HMILibrary.

3.1.3 Component configurationComponents can be configured with the HMI Editor by the user.

Configuration of components is component-specific. This means that every component type hasits own configuration facilities.

The components available in the HMI Library are described in chapter "# 6" "HMI Library".

The HMI Editor provides also an interface to RTU configuration file (*.rcd) so that it is possible toconnect components to process data configured in RTUtil500. The selection of process data is doneby the object-name of the process data, so no separate addressing has to be done by the user forthis function. Modifications to the RTU configuration do not influence a link to a process data point,until the process data is deleted.

3.1.4 Deploying user projectsTo deploy a user project and start it as an HMI application, the user project needs to be uploadedto the RTU CMU board on which the HMI server is configured. In order to run the HMI application,a matching version of the HMI Library must be also be available on the CMU board.

Organization of the Integrated HMI RTU500 series Remote Terminal UnitElements of the Integrated HMI function

3-2 | 1KGT 150 800 V0021 - ABB AG

3.1.5 Starting HMI applicationsDuring startup of an HMI application on a client system, the HMI application automatically runs arequirements check to ensure that the local cache of the client system contains the required versionof the HMI Library and the uploaded user project. If the cached version of the HMI Library or theuploaded user project is out of date, the HMI application will update it.

If the requirements check was successful, the HMI application starts on the client system using theuploaded user project.

3.1.6 HMI clientThe HMI application includes an HMI client.

The HMI client automatically initiates the communication session with the HMI server on the RTU.Once the connection is established, it retrieves dynamic information of linked process data points.

If updates of the requested process data are available, the HMI server sends the updated informationto the HMI client. The HMI client distributes the updated information within the HMI application.

If an HMI application is closed, the communication session between the HMI server and the HMIclient is also closed.

Figure 86: Component view: Example for ON state

7.4 Properties of view itemsThe Dynamic color property is available for all view items.

Figure 87: Properties of a view item

If the Dynamic color property is active (true), the view item displayed at runtime uses the colors de-fined in the project settings (see chapter "# 5.5.4" "'Project menu", section "'Colors' tab"), depend-ing on the qualifiers of the linked object. If no qualifiers are applied to the linked object at runtime,the view item s displayed using the value of the Color property as the default color.

If the Dynamic color property is set to false (inactive), the view item uses the value of the Colorproperty for display at runtime.

The other properties available for view items are identical to the corresponding properties availablefor components (see chapter "Main functions of the HMI Editor").

7.5 Using component viewsTo use a component view, proceed as follows:

1. Switch to Page Editor mode (see chapter "HMI Editor mode").2. Draw a Symbol component.3. Select the symbol type.

Figure 88: Drawing a Symbol component

To change the symbol type, use the Properties dialog and select the required symbol type fromdrop-down list. All component views in the current project are available as symbol types in the drop-down list.

Figure 91: Changing the size of the symbol with component view

In the example shown in "Fig. 91: Changing the size of the symbol with component view""Fig. 91:Changing the size of the symbol with component view", the left symbol component has the samesize as the component view. The component view is displayed in the same size as drawn by the user.

The right symbol component has a smaller size. The display of the applied component view corre-sponds to the size of the symbol component.

RTU500 series Remote Terminal Unit Additional languagesOverview

ABB AG - 1KGT 150 800 V0021 | 8-1

8 Additional languages

8.1 OverviewThe following HMI software components contain language files:

HMI EditorFile name : HMIEditor.jarLanguage filename structure: editor_xx_YY.properties *)Relative path: com/abb/rtu560/hmieditor

HMI LibraryFile name : lib\HMILib.jarLanguage filename structure: lib_xx_YY.properties *)Relative path: com/abb/rtu560/hmi/application

*) xx = ISO language code and YY = ISO country code

Basic languages included in released versions are English (en_US) and German (de_DE).

Additional languages may be added to a released version.

Missing texts will be displayed as text of the missing key with leading and trailing exclamation marks(e.g. !MainFrame.title !).

Additional languages are automatically detected by the HMI Editor at runtime, and made availablefor selection in the Language dialog.

8.2 Localizing the Integrated HMI: Step-by-step instructionTo localize the Integrated HMI with additional languages, proceed as follows:

1. Use a ZIP extraction program to open the files.2. Extract the language files from the software components:

editor_en_US.properties from HMIEditor.jarlib_en_US.properties from HMILib.jar

3. Rename the extracted language files using the ISO language and ISO country code of the tar-get language.*)

4. Translate the renamed language files. The language file is a text file that consists of multiplelines, one for each text string. Each line contains a key idenfying the string, an 'equal' sign (=)as a separator, and the string as it appears in the user interface at runtime. For example:...key1=text string 1key2=text string 2...Only translate the text following the 'equal' sign. Do not modify the key!

5. Encode the translated language files in Unicode format.If the translated language file contains non-Latin-1 characters, convert the translated lan-guage file using the native2ascii utility**):native2ascii

6. Add the translated and encoded language files to the HMI software component.The translated and encoded language files can be added as additional languages to the HMIsoftware components using a ZIP compression program.Ensure that the additional language files contain the correct relative path within the HMI soft-ware component***)

Remarks:

*) The first code is the ISO language code as defined in ISO-639. The code consists of two lower caseletters. For detailed information, refer to http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt.

The second code is the ISO country code as defined in ISO-3166. The code consists oftwo capital letters. For detailed information, refer to http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html.

**) The native2ascii utility is provided by Oracle as part of the Java development Kit (JDK). Down-load the utility from the Internet and store it in the \bin-directory of the JDK.

In the event of an update, it might be necessary to decode the Unicode escape characters back tothe native encoded characters.Use the following native2ascii command:

native2ascii -reverse

***) To create a ZIP archive with correct relative paths, proceed as follows:

1. On your local file system, create a directory structure containing the required relative paths.2. Copy the translated language files to the correct location inside that folder structure.3. Add the \com directory, including all subdirectories, to the HMI software component.
