Removal and replacement of the screen itself is pretty straightforward. There are three objectives involved in this procedure:
Tools Needed:
Remove and replace the old screen with the new one paying particular attention to wire connection points on the terminal strip on the back of the HMI screen.
After installing the new screen and making the electrical connections, you will need to update the date/time and configure the IP address and Subnet mask in the System settings so the new display will accept (recognize) the USB port. This will be necessary in order to upload or change HMI software versions and programs.
1. To update Time/Date on display:
Once the screen has powered up, you will need to update the date and time so production information will be displayed accurately.
2. To enable the USB port:
The new HMI touchscreen will now recognize the USB port.
3. To upload HMI Software:
You may first need to contact the factory for the correct HMI screen software version. Roel will email the link to a dropbox that contains a Zipped file that you will have to unzip before saving to a USB drive. If Roel sends multiple files, they need to be combined into one Parent file on the USB drive.
Copy the folder you received onto a USB drive with a capacity of 16GB or less
Insert USB drive into the USB port close to the touch screen
4. Press DOWNLOAD
