l
Re-use the data: Vijeo Designer uses two types of data: l Internal data created in the user application, l External data provided by the devices (PLCs, remote I/Os, etc.). Graphical objects, Scripts and panels created with Vijeo Designer can be saved in the Toolchest (See Vijeo Designer's main tools, p. 13). It can thus be reused in other projects. This is particularly useful when optimizing the development of new applications or standardizing screens when co-developing, for example.
l
Connect to multiple PLCs: Vijeo Designer can be used to simultaneously communicate with a number of Schneider PLCs.
l
Create screen pages: Vijeo Designer can be used to create dynamic screens quickly and easily. It combines various functions in a simple program, such as moving objects, zooms, level indicators, On/Off indicators, buttons or other special graphics. Animated symbols can be used to build and edit a graphical screen very simply.
l
Use scripts: Vijeo Designer incorporates a function used to create scripts. Thus, a "building block" created by one application can easily be reused in other projects.
l
Report: Vijeo Designer also incorporates an advanced function designed to simplify the management of variables used in the animation screens, such as: l Configuring or modifying the variables and characteristics of objects via the Inspector (See Vijeo Designer's main tools, p. 13) window.
l
Multi-language: Vijeo Designer can store the alarm messages or text objects for the same application in more than 20 different languages. Thus, while running the user program, a simple selection from the animation screen switches the display to the selected language.
l
Edit variables created by other applications: Vijeo Designer can import or export variables in a CSV file. Similarly, variables created in Vijeo Designer can be exported in other applications.

To start Vijeo Designer, select Start \ Programs \ Vijeo Designer or double-click the Vijeo Designer icon on the desktop.
Basic settings At a Glance
September 2003
Configuring your project correctly is essential before you begin to create a drawing. The following procedure does not describe how to configure the external inputs/ outputs, however. A project created in Vijeo Designer is a simple chain of information (database). Within a project, the target terminals are configured and organized in a hierarchical structure. Each target shows the hardware (PLC device) environment in which the project will be run.

Creating variables At a Glance
A variable is a memory address indicated by a name. Vijeo Designer handles the following five types of variables: l Discrete, l Integer, l Float, l String, l Structure. Vijeo Designer uses the variables to communicate with the PLCs. You can also define internal variables that will only be used by Vijeo Designer. In our tutorial, since we will not be communicating with any PLCs, we will create only internal variables. The following table describes the procedure to follow for creating variables: Step
Action
1
Click the "Variables" tab in the "Navigator" window, then click right to select "New variable" and "Discrete".

Creating a script At a Glance
74
In Vijeo Designer, a script can be used to automate some tasks of a communication program. You can use a script to define a procedure that runs when a condition is met. You can then add a function that is not available in a drawing's properties.

Create the "Over_100" script
The following script is run when a predefined value is entered in screen 1. If that value is over 100, the alarm popup window is displayed (See Creating an alarm display popup window, p. 46). The following table describes the procedure to create the "Over_100" script: Step

Validation / Building / Correcting errors Types of data transfer
You must use one of the following methods to transfer a customer application to a terminal (or perform a local simulation): Type
Procedure
Ethernet
The application produced by the built project* is transferred to products equipped with an Ethernet connector via the network.
Tool port
Data produced by the built project* is transferred to the device connected to the PC using the special cable XBTZ-G915.
CompactFlash card
Data produced by the built project* (on a PC equipped with a PCMCIA card reader) is transferred by copying to a CompactFlash card; it can then be plugged in the terminals.
Local simulation Data produced by the built project* are stored locally for simulating the customer application during its fine-tuning phase.
* Data created using the "Build" function. Validating the target
The project is validated using the main menu's "Build" command and then selecting "Validate all".
Building the target
"Building" consists in building a program that can be run directly by the XBT-G from the project created with the Vijeo Designer graphical editor. Be sureto clean each target and/or project before you build. This is performed by choosing the main menu's "Build" command and selecting "Clean All". The clean command removes unnecessary files from the project folder. Choose the main menu's "Build" command and selecting "Build All" to build your target. Vijeo Designer can build a program in the following four ways:
80
Type
Procedure
Build
Rebuilds the project completely and optimizes the results file. Although creation is quicker than when using the "Build" function.
Quick Build
Only builds the data updated since the previous version was built, and optimizes the results file.
Start simulation
Rebuilds the project completely and refreshes the resulting file. After the build the simulation starts.
Download
Before download, the target is validated and built. If no errors are detected, the user application files are transferred to the target machine.

Error correction
September 2003
In each of the above four cases, the system displays "Errors" and "Warnings" in the "Feedback zone". In each case the "Feedback zone" window is automatically opens and "Errors" and "Warnings" are displayed. "Errors" are displayed in red and "Warnings" are displayed in yellow. When there are no errors or warnings, the result is displayed in green. Double-click an error or "warning" to view detailed information.

Simulation Simulate your project
The simulation function can be used to simulate your project on the PC, i.e. to display your project without downloading it to an XBT-G terminal.
Start Simulation
Use the following procedure to start the simulation: Step
82
Action
1
Click the "Project" tab in the "Navigator" window.
2
Right-click "Target 1".
3
Select "Start Simulation (Build)" to begin the simulation. After the build is completed, the main screen will appear.
4
To stop the simulation, press the "Ctrl" and "Z" keys simultaneously or "Alt" and "F4" keys simultaneously.

Downloading data and exiting a project Data download types
September 2003
The Download function is used to send an application to a target. Several download methods can be used: l Ethernet: an Ethernet network is used to download data. l File System: Data is downloaded to a CF Card. l Serial: The unit's serial port is used to download data directly to the target. Use the "Inspector" window's Target area to select the type of download method.

Project Download
Download procedure
Use the following procedure to create to download an application to a target (XBTG): Step 1
Action When using XBT-G type units, connect the download cable to the XBT-G tool connector or ethernet cable connector and to the computer port com (COM1 or Ethernet). XBT-G2110/2120/2220/4320: only tool connector (serial) Other XBT-G units allow you to choose an Ethernet or tool connector connection.

Exit Vijeo Designer
September 2003
Action Check your XBT-G unit to see if the application is displayed correctly. Note: If an error message appears in the "Feedback zone", this means that the download has failed. After you have solved the problem try to download data again. If you double-click on an error displayed in the "Feedback zone", the error's position is indicated.
To exit Vijeo Designer, select "Exit" from the main menu bar's "File" menu and save your project.
