OptiMate® OM1510
Operator Terminal
The OM1510 Operator Terminal is a low cost/high
performance man/machine interface with a broad range of operator-input
and display capabilities. The terminal includes a 2 line by 20
character LCD display, a full numeric keypad, two function keys,
three LED light bar indicator lights and menu tree capability.
OptiMate® configuration
software allows you to predefine up to 160 messages. These messages
can be later selected by your PLC or computer program to display
status, variable data and allow numeric data input. Messages can
also be configured into a layered menu tree, which allows you the
ability to create hierarchical function selection for the operator.
For computer applications, additional messages can be sent directly
over the serial communication port.
Indicator lights and function
keys can be custom labeled by the user with a plastic insert.
The insert can be custom legended with text and/or graphics, and
slips into a protective pocket behind the faceplate.
The OM1510
Operator Terminal is part of Optimation's OptiMate® series.
Each OptiMate® module is designed to connect to a microprocessor
or most PLC's with a single cable connection. OptiMate® modules
can be used individually, or together with any combination of other
OptiMate® modules.
When used with a microprocessor system, simple
communications over either an RS232 or RS422 communications cable
allows the microprocessor to directly control the lights and
LCD display as well as read numeric data entry and function key
status.
When used with a PLC, operation is transparent
to the user. Terminal functions tie directly into your PLC ladder
logic program. The OM1510 takes care of the rest.

Operational Overview
The OM1510 Terminal incorporates all of the
basic elements necessary for operator interface. Indicator lights
highlight status, function keys allow operator function selection,
the alphanumeric display provides text information, and the numeric
keypad allows data entry and adjustment. Together, the alphanumeric
display and associated pushbuttons also allow for user-defined
menu tree selection of functions.
The OM1510 interfaces over either
an RS232 or RS422 serial link to any computer-based system and
many popular PLCs. In a computer-based system, interface occurs
via a very easy to use OptiMate® Hex
protocol. For a PLC-based system, operation is totally controlled
through a bank of 8 PLC registers. Everything else is handled by
the OM1510 Terminal.
PLC-Based Systems
PLC-based systems access the OM1510 via a bank
of 8 registers. Lights and buttons appear as coils and contacts
(or register bits) in the PLC. Messages can be predefined, stored
in the OM1510 and used by the PLC program. To use a predefined
message, your PLC program simply places the message number that
you have associated with the message into a PLC register. Text,
data display, keypad data entry and arrow adjustment messages are
all available. Up to 160 messages can be predefined.
There are three
types of messages that handle numeric values. A data display
message will display the value you place in the line's data register
in the message field that has been predefined. The top display
line on the right illustrates a data display message. The message
has been predefined as message # 6. The carets(^) in the message
are place holders for the numeric display. To use the message to
display data, simply place the value '6' in the top line message
select register and the value (in this case, 347.6) in the top
line data register. The OM1510 takes care of the rest.
Data entry
and adjustment work similarly, with data ending up in the PLC
data register.
The OM1510 allows up to four levels of menu.
Each menu selection can be either a function or the next lower
menu level. With this type of "tree" arrangement, you can
construct an application menu that allows the user quick easy access
to a large number of functions.
Use With a Computer
The OM1510Terminal provides all of the same
capabilities to a computer-based system that it does to a PLC system.
It also provides the added capability of utilizing additional messages
that are not predefined, but are passed over the serial link. The
OptiMate® Hex protocol makes computer-based applications a
very simple undertaking.
