1. Using the Basic Features of HIS

This chapter explains how to start up the HIS and the types of operation and monitoring
windows and gives the overview of the System Message Banner and Browser Bar.

1.1 Starting up HIS and Confirming the Security

Setting
n Starting up HIS
1. Turn on the power of the computer installed with the operation and monitoring functions of
CENTUM.
2. In the Windows log-on window, enter the user name and password that were set in the HIS
Utilities dialog box.
The HIS starts up.
TIP
If one of the following settings has been made, the HIS starts up automatically after the computer is turned on.
• The [Auto Logon] option is selected in the HIS Utility dialog box.
• In Windows authentication mode, the [Enable HIS Type Single Sign On] option is selected in the HIS
Utilities dialog box.
SEE
ALSO For information about the Windows authentication mode and CENTUM authentication mode, see the following:
E1, ”Human Interface Station” of “Reference (IM 33M01A30-40E)”

n Security Check for Operation and Monitoring on HIS

The operation and monitoring scope on HIS is determined by the settings of user group and the
privilege level.
The user rights on the HIS are predefined on the HIS security builder according to the user group
and the privilege level.
The security setting of each HIS can be different from others, so that a user’s right maybe
different on different HISs. Thus a user’s operation and monitoring scope on a HIS can be
performed only in the range predefined for the HIS.
l Changing Privilege Level

If an operation keyboard is connected to the HIS, the privilege level can be changed by switching
the MODE key on the keyboard.
There are two types of keys for the keyboard, operation key and engineering key.

3.4 Multiple-Monitor
The function known as Multiple-Monitor connects up to four monitors to one Human
Interface Station (HIS), and displays windows for the operation and monitoring on each
monitor. In this way up to four monitors can be handled as one large, logical desktop area
(virtual desktop area).
The Multiple Monitors feature of Windows is utilized to form the multiple-monitoring
scheme of HIS. Therefore, the operating environment in the general-purpose personal
computer should be either Windows XP or Windows Vista that supports the multiple
monitors. And the package for the multiple monitoring (LHS4600) should be installed in
the PC too.
n Overview of Multiple-Monitor
An overview of Multiple-Monitor is as follows:
• Up to four monitors can be connected to one HIS. A display card compatible with the
Multiple Monitors feature of Windows is used for connection.
• The monitors can be stacked (vertical orientation) or placed side-by-side (lateral
orientation).
• One monitor is designated as the main monitor and the others are the sub monitors.
• Multiple full-size operation and monitoring windows can be displayed at the same time.
• The secondary dialog that is called up from an operation and monitoring window is
displayed on the monitor where the calling window is being displayed.
• System Message Banner is displayed on each monitor, showing the same information.
• Browser Bar is displayed on each monitor. Each Browser Bar can be operated
independently.
• A display destination monitor can be designated when calling up an operation and
monitoring window.
The following display operations can be performed on a Multiple-Monitor HIS:
• Windows can be called up on a specified monitor.
• Windows on a specified monitor can be erased.
• The Print Screen can be executed for a specified monitor.
• Windows can be transferred between the specified two monitors (shift and exchange).
• The mouse cursor can be freely moved across the monitors.
• Operation and monitoring windows can be moved across the monitors by dragging with
mouse.

n Installing monitors
The multiple monitors can be stacked vertically or placed side-by-side, as shown below. You
need to setup in the Windows Display Properties on how you install the multiple monitors.
030401E.ai
Figure Monitor Arrangement in Multimonitoring
n Main Monitor and Sub Monitor

Multiple-Monitor uses one monitor as the main monitor and the other monitors as sub monitors.
The main monitor is the monitor specified as the primary monitor in Display Properties of
Windows. The Windows taskbar is only displayed on the main monitor.
The System Message Banner is displayed on all monitors with the same contents. It can also be
operated on all monitors.
The Browser Bar is displayed on all the monitors at the same position but can be operated
independently. The contents of Favorites folder are the same for all the monitors.
When calling an operation and monitoring window without specifying the monitor number, the
window may be displayed on the monitor where the active window locates or on the monitor
where the new window is called from. If either the active window or the origin of calling is
unidentifiable, the called window will be displayed on the main monitor. Moreover, the operation
keyboard with 8-loop control keys behaves differently when operating the function block
faceplates on the main monitor and on the sub monitor.
With Multiple-Monitor, windows can be transferred between any specified pair of monitors.

4.4 Tight Shut and Full Open

The Tight shut/Full open operation is for securing the tight shut or full open of the valve
by changing the actual output value according to the manipulated value (MV). If the MV is
0 %, to a value of less than 0 %, and if the MV is 100 %, to a value of more than 100%.
For tight shut or full open of the valve:

If the Tight shut/Full open is required, do one of the following.
• In the Data Input dialog box, enter “0” or “100” in MV.
• Press the INC or DEC button and keep pressing it one or two seconds longer after the MV
shown in the faceplate reaches “MV=0.0%” or “MV=100.0%”.
IMPORTANT
• If the output destination of the manipulated value (MV) of a function block having the ‘Tight
shut/Full open’ feature is a Fieldbus Faceplate block, set the ‘Tight shut/Full open’ to “No” in
the Function Block Detail Builder.
• In the Function Block Detail Builder, the setting items “Output Value for Tight-shut (Ms)” and
“Output Value for Full-open (Mf)” are named assuming the ‘valves with reverse actions”
where the valves close tightly if the manipulated value (MV) is 0 %. For the valves that close
tightly if the manipulated value (MV) is 100 %, the setting item “Output Value for Tight-shut
(Ms)” is a value for setting the actual output value to a value less than 0 % if the manipulated
value (MV) is 0 %. Take note that the setting item “Output Value for Full-open (Mf)” is a value
for setting the actual output value to a value more than 100 % if the manipulated value (MV)
is 100 %.
