ABB Smart HMI Multi-Touch Control Panel Portfolio

Introduction

This document mainly instructs how to operate Smart HMI.

Definitions, acronyms, and abbreviations

  • Term Definitions
  • CB Communication Board
  • SW Software
  • HMI Human Machine Interface
  • TBD To be determined
  • BLE Bluetooth Low Energy

Hardware Preconditions

  • Input voltage: DC 3V

Software Preconditions

Since the development platform of this project is windows and the target platform are android, so we need to prepare the following environment:

  • Android mobile cellphone;
  • Install package: RemoteHMI_V1.0.0.apk;

Install Process

  • Hardware installation Link CB module and Smart HMI module, then turn on DC power. Smart HMI LCD will show the right content.
  • Software installation Copy the install package to the Android mobile cellphone, and double click the apk file in the cellphone, the install process will start. Once the installation is completed, the app icon will be shown at the cellphone top menu.

Scan BLE device

  • The app will start to scan the ABB Smart HMI devices once you double-click the app.
  • If you want to re-scan all the BLE devices, click the refresh button on the up-right corner of the page.
  • Connect/Disconnect Smart HMI Device In the device list page, there will be several items that is scaned BLE devices. You could make the app to connect the BLE device by clicking the button on the right of the item.
  • Once the app connects to the BLE device, it will turn to a connected page automatically.
  • Click the connected device item, it will change to operate page so that you could operate the HMI menu of the smart HMI device. Otherwise, if you want to disconnect to smart HMI device, just click the right button on the connected item.

Operate Smart HMI Device

  • Once the app enters operate page, the screen shows like below:
  • There are up/down and left/right buttons to operate the HMI menu once you click the buttons.
  • Since there are both app HMI and physical HMI, in order to keep him alive for each click operation at a time, the logic is that physical HMI has a higher priority than app HMI. If app HMI wants operation on the buttons, the app needs to tell physical HMI that I want to operate in-app HMI, then physical HMI will give the permission to app HMI. So there is enable/disable button to get permission from physical HMI.

Cyber Security

Disclaimer This product is designed to be connected to and to communicate information and data via a digital communication interface. It is your sole responsibility to provide and continuously ensure a secure connection between the product and your network or any other network (as the case may be). You shall establish and maintain any appropriate measures (such as but not limited to the application of authentication measures etc.) to protect the product, the network, its system and the interface against any kind of security breaches, unauthorized access, interference, intrusion, leakage and/or theft of data or information. ABB Ltd and its affiliates are not liable for damages and / or losses related to such security breaches, any unauthorized access, interference, intrusion, leakage, and/or theft of data or information.

Encryption To secure the BLE communication between Remote HMI APP and Smart HMI device, the encryption of the AES algorithm is applied. Once you want to connect to the BLE device, you need to type the crypto password with 6 numbers or characters first in the “Cryptokey” box, as the following.
