 Programmable graphic display CR1077

Made for rough environment

The new dialogue modules have been developed for use in cabins and outside vehicles.
Thanks to a high protection rating and optical bonding they are optimally protected
against moisture. They withstand strong impacts and permanent vibrations as well as
extreme ambient temperatures. The high-resolution RGB LED panels offer optimum
readability even in a bright environment. For operation the displays have freely
programmable buttons (5" and 7" versions) or optionally a capacitive touch screen. The
integrated powerful PLC can perform visualization and operation tasks. It is freely
programmable via CODESYS. Numerous interfaces at the back of the device, e.g. CAN,
analogue video, USB 2.0 and Ethernet offer maximum connectivity.
Mechanical design
The displays have a sealed diecast aluminium housing with the protection rating IP 65, IP
67. For connection sealed M12 connections and a 40-pole AMP connector are used. The
displays can be used as surface mount device using the tried-and-tested RAM mount
system or can be mounted in a wall. Depending on the requirement, the displays can be
installed in any orientation.
Powerful Electronics
The integrated 64-bit controller allows a powerful presentation of the high-resolution
graphics, processing of the application program and the device functions. Furthermore,
there are many opportunities with regard to communication and networking with other
systems and networks. With the integrated real-time clock it is possible to give log data a
time stamp for better traceability.
Audio
The display has extensive audio functions. They can be used to provide acoustic and
voice messages.
Programming to IEC 61131-3
The CODESYS software enables a clear and easy creation of the application software.
The graphic elements are created via the integrated visualisation editor and can, for
example, be selected via the buttons or the optional touch function.

 Making additional changes to the Template
This shows a few examples of possible functions for the CR1077.

1 - Right click on “Application” → “Add

Object” → “POU”
(a Program Organization Unit contains
the code of a program. Multiple POUs
can help getting a better structure for
the entire program. All POUs must be
run in the main POU (PLC_PRG))

- Name the new POU (e.g.

ADD_FCT)
- Chose e.g. “Structured
Text” as Implementation
language
- Click “Add”

2 Using the Light Sensor

- Declare a variable for the light value
- Call the provided function block for
getting the light value from the sensor

uiLightValue : UINT;
fbLight : ifmDevice.GetLightSensorCyclic;

fbLight(xEnable:=TRUE,
xError=> ,
eDiagInfo=> ,
uiAmbientLight=>uiLightValue);

19
3 - Double click on “PLC_PRG”

- Right click in the

program next to a
function block and
select “Insert Network
(below)”

- Right click in the newly

created network and
select “Insert Box”

appears. Select the POU you
want to add (e.g. ADD_FCT)

- Click “OK”

- The POU is now added to

the PLC_PRG and will run

20
5 - Click “Login” again
- The changes have to be transferred
to the CR1077. Chose “Online
Change” for minor adjustments. For
some cases it doesn’t work. Then
use “Login with download”. The
whole program will be loaded again.

6 If in RUN mode, the current light value

is displayed in CODESYS.
If you cover the sensor, which is
located in the top left corner of the
CR1077, the value will drop.
Light sensor location

7 The light sensor can be

used to control the display
brightness of the CR1077.
Example on the right

21
 Creating a new Visualization

1 - Right click on
“Application” → “Add
Object” →
“Visualization”
- Name the new
visualization
- Click “Add”

2
The blank area indicates
the space used on the
CR1077 Display
- Right click and chose
“Background”
- Select a color and click
“OK”

22
3 - Go to the “Visualization Toolbox”
by finding the tab in the right
bottom corner of your display and
chose a rectangle
- Drag and Drop it into your
visualization
- Enter “%s” in the Box

4 - Go to “Properties” → “Text variables”

- Enter the path to the “ambient light value”
- Add another rectangle with the text: “Ambient Light
Value” and place it to the left.
In the “Properties” menu it is also possible to change fill
color of the rectangles, font color and alignments, as well
as many other settings.

23
 Changing between Visualizations
Changing between visualizations can be done in three different ways:
• Using “Hotkey Configuration” (simple, only for set number of keys)
• Using “Input Configuration” (simple, for any keys)
• Using variables (advanced, for more complex programs)

1 Hotkey Configuration
- Select the “Visu_Default” on the left by double click
- Switch to “Hotkeys Configuration” tab

- Double click in the first free field below “Key”, click on

the arrow and select your desired key by using the
scrollbar on the right
- Check the checkbox below “Key down”. The
visualization will change as you press the key
- Double click in the field below “Action type”, click on
the arrow and select “Change shown visualization”
- Next to the “Action” field a flash shows up → double
click in the field
- Click “…”
- The “Input Assistant” shows up → select
the desired visualization, in this case “Visu_FTC”, and
click “OK”

- The result should look like this

- After loading the changes to the CR1077, the new visualization should be shown after pressing F5

24
2 Input Configuration
- Add a Button to the visualization from the
“Visualization ToolBox” on the right
- Click on the added button to open the Properties
on the right
- Click on the “+” Symbol in front of “Input
configuration” → go to “OnMouseDown”→ Click
“Configure…”

4 - The “Input Configuration”

window shows
- Select “Change shown
visualization”
- Click on “>”
- Click on the “Change shown
visualization” that shows up in
the right field
- Click on “…” next to “Assign”
- Chose the visualization to be
shown
- Click “OK”
- After loading the changes to the
CR1077, the new visualization
should be shown after pressing
the Button

25
5 Using Variables in a separate POU
- This can also be done, by only using the F5 key and
not creating a button (skip to No. 7)
- Add a Button to the visualization from the
“Visualization ToolBox” on the right
- Click on the added button to open the Properties
on the right
- Click on the “+” Symbol in front of “Input
configuration” → click on “+” in front of “Tap”→
double click in the field next to “Variable” and click
on “…”

6 - The “Input Assistant” pops up

- Navigate to “xF5”, click it and click “OK”
- The button now has the same function as the F5 key
Also, the button can be set to a user defined variable
that is used to change visualizations. The F5 key is
just an example.

7 - Create a new POU called “ADD_VISU”. It stores the orders to change between visualizations.
The keys of the Keypad are listed globally, so they can be used in any POU without any declaration

26
 Saving a Project
Normally, programs are stored in multiple files, making it difficult to use on other computers.
Here is the procedure to save it in one file (Archive) and make it easy to use on other computers.

1 Save as Archive
- Click “File” → “Project Archive” → “Save/Send Archive”

- Select the items to save on the “Project

Archive” screen and click “Save”

- Chose memory location and file name

on the "Save Project Archive" screen,
and click "Save"

2 Open an Archive
- Menu "File" → "Project Archive" → "Extract Archive"
Select a file on the “Extract Archive” screen and click “Open”
- Select (all) items on the “Extract Project Archive” screen and
click “Extract”

- If the environment doesn’t change, check “Apply to…”

and click “No”. If you want to open a project exactly as
it was, click “YES”. (personal preferences will be
overwritten) The program will be restored.

EthernetIP_Scanner from SP15 to SP16 causes out of retain memory build error - see image below

To fix the error: ignore the CIP_RETAIN_SUPPORTED directive because CR only has Persistent memory and not
retain
