connected to the Local HMI, so select [Local].
Device type Select the type of the device.
I/F The available interface: [RS-232], [RS-485 2W], [RS-485
4W], [Ethernet], [USB], and [CAN Bus].
 If the interface used is [RS-232], [RS-485 2W], or
[RS-485 4W], configure communication parameters
by clicking [Device Properties] » [Settings] and then
[Com Port Settings] dialog box opens.

Timeout
If the communication has been disconnected for more
than preset time limit configured in [Timeout] (in sec),
Window No. 5 will pop up and show “Device No
Response” message.
Turn around delay
While sending the next command to the device, HMI will
delay the sending according to the time interval set in
[Turn around delay]. This may influence the efficiency of
the communication between HMI and the device. Default
value is “0”.

station no. Device station no. can be set in its address. The address
format: ABC#Addr
ABC stands for device station number and ranges from 0 to
255. Addr stands for device address. And the “#” sign
separates the station number and the address. As shown
in the following figure, the data is read from device station
number 1, and address 0x-20.

EasyBuilder Pro V6.09.02

System Parameter Settings 5-5

Default Use the station number variables as the default device

station no. station number. Select one from LW-10000 to LW-10015
use station
no. variable (var0 to var15) as the station number variables. If the
station no. is not specified in device address, the station
number will be determined by the station no. variable.
For example, if var3 is set for default station no:

The followings demonstrate some examples:

 The device station number is “5”.

 The device station number is determined by var7

(LW-10007)

 Device address is set to “111”, since device station

no. is not specified, and the default station no. is
var3, the device station no. is determined by var3
(LW-10003).

broadcast please fill in [Broadcast station no.] according to the
command broadcast station number defined by the device. When
HMI sends a broadcast command to the station number
set here, the device will only receive the command and
not reply to HMI.

As shown in the following figure:

When HMI sends a command to address 255#200, all the

devices will receive this command and will not reply.
Only devices that support broadcast command can use
this feature.
Interval of If the interval between read addresses of different
block pack commands is less than this value, the commands can be
(words) combined to one. The combining function is disabled if
this value is set to “0”.
For example, the interval value is set to “5”, to read 1 word
from LW-3 and 2 words from LW-6 respectively (read from
LW-6 to LW-7), since the interval of addresses between
LW-3 and LW-6 is less than 5, these two commands can be
combined to one. The result is to read 5 consecutive words
from LW-3 to LW-7.
Note: The maximum size of command combination data
must be less than [Max. read-command size].
Max. read - The maximum data size to read from the device at one
command time. Unit: word

Saver window no.

Specify a window to be displayed when HMI goes to screen
saver mode.
Note: In a saver window, the [Return to previous window]
option of a Function Key can be used to wake up HMI from
screen saver mode; therefore, please avoid editing the
project in the way shown as the example below, to prevent
the HMI from going to screen saver mode repeatedly.
Example: A Function Key used to “Return to previous
window” is placed in Window no. 11, and the HMI goes
into screen saver mode when Window no. 11 is displayed.
In this case, the HMI can wake up from screen saver mode
when any point on its screen is touched, and Window no.
11 will be displayed again. At this moment, if the Function
Key in Window no. 11 is touched, the HMI goes into screen
saver mode again.
Solution: 1. When a Function Key with “Return to previous
window” selected is placed in the saver window, please use
“Change full-screen window” for all other windows.
2. When “Change full-screen window” is used for the saver

Data in the extended memory is saved as a file into [SD card] or [USB disk]. By default, the files
in [EM0] to [EM15] are with the file names “em0.emi” to “em15.emi” respectively, although
users are free to change the file names. To open these files and edit the data in the extended
memory, RecipeEditor.exe may be used.
Data in the extended memory will not be erased when HMI power is cut, which means data in
the extended memory remains the same as before power off when HMI is started again. This is
a behavior similar to recipe data (RW, RW_A).
When the device used as extended memory does not exist, reading the data in the extended
memory will get “0”, and writing data to the extended memory will display "Device no
response" message on HMI.
Cutting HMI power is not necessary for inserting or removing the external device to or from
HMI, making it easy for users to immediately update or obtain data in the extended memory.
Setting Description
Enable dynamic With this option selected, the file names of
file name EM0~EM15 can be changed dynamically. Select “EM
file name index (0~15)”, enter “EM file name”, set
“Control” to 1, and then see the “Result”. After
successfully changing the file name, the new file name
will immediately be the data source of EM address.
Please note that after changing the EM file name
dynamically, the new file name is retained after
rebooting HMI, which may be different from the file
name specified in the project file.
