Installation This Tutorial describes the basic procedures for programming a screen using WindO/I-NV2 software. It is intended for users who are trying IDEC OI Touchscreens for the first time and for those who Chapter 3 wish to master the fundamentals of WindO/I-NV2 Screen Creation software.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1 Operator Interface Features Features Design Tool Compatible With All IDEC OI Touchscreens - Users can easily create screens and setup operations by using the design tool, WindO/I-NV2 software. Supports Multiple Languages - The Operator Interface supports multiple languages, such as Japanese, Chi- nese (simplified and traditional Chinese characters), Korean, and European lan- guages.
- Applicable to multiple items (Easy to add and modify components) - Multifunction, flexibility in expansion Operate screens by touching Parts can be directly with a finger. placed anywhere. Easily switch between displayed screens. Enter data with a numeric keypad. www.IDEC.com/software...
*2: To supply power to the Operator Interface, a 24 V DC power supply is required. If the OI Touchscreen will be configured to communicate with a host (ie. PLC), then you will also need the following: (5) Programmable Controller (PLC) Example: MicroSmart (6) Communication Cable (between the MicroSmart & OI) Example: FC4A-KC2CA www.IDEC.com/software...
