:KDW¶VQHZ"
This part describes the new version for users who are already familiar with the non-
windows version of the SEDOMAT 3500.
The goal for the new concept was to increase the user friendliness and the look. The
user interface now is based on PHQXV, GLDORJER[HV and LFRQV and is similar to MS-
Windows, used on today’s personal computers, making the SEDOMAT 3500 more
interactive than before.
Each IXQFWLRQNH\ (in version 0.xx these were called softkeys) opens a PHQX. Selecting
an item in this menu executes immediately a task or first opens a GLDORJER[. A dialog
box gives a clear overview of all relevant information, parameters and selections and
lets the operator fill in and check everything before accepting the dialog box.
Furthermore, the menu tree is reorganized. The function key area and menus have the
same contents in all screens. Menu-items are disabled when they are not relevant in a
certain situation. This fixed menu structure helps the operator to memorize the location
of each menu-item.
Each function key, menu-item, function, process parameter, etc. is represented by an

LFRQ. Icons are self-explaining and visualize the adjacent text. For function keys, only an
icon is shown. Pressing the function key will show the adjacent text on top of the
opened menu. Icons allow operators speaking different languages to use the controller
without having to select another language first. Furthermore, the icons are compatible
with the SEDOMAT 1500 and SEDOMAT 600. The definition of the icons representing
functions and parameters is part of the configuration.
2SHUDWRU0DQXDO 2000/12/07 BARCO-SEDO•6('20$7 GLVFRQWLQXRXVZLQGRZV•3DJH

Compared to version 0.xx, following items have also been changed:
• Programming paths
Feedback from our customers told us that the fourth programming path wasn’t often
used and so decided to limit the default number of parallel paths to three. This results
in a clearer structured screen and important increase of speed. However, for users
who still want four paths, the SEDOMAT parameter 6 (PROGR.PATHS) can be
changed.
• Status area
The position in the dye program curve is shown in the status area. Furthermore, two
process parameters have been added, bringing the total number to six.
• Display backlighting save mode

When no keys are pressed for ±2 minutes, the brightness of the screen is halved. This
increases the lifetime of the backlighting lamp.
• Speed
There is a considerable increase of speed making working with the SEDOMAT 3500
more pleasant.
• Security
Each menu-item can be secured with an operator or a supervisor code.
• Barcode
An optional barcode reader can be used to scan data to fill in alphanumerical
windows and to scan formatted barcodes to execute a command such as a stop
declaration.
These latest improvements on the previous generation SEDOMAT 3500 are of course
also implemented:
• MS-DOS-compatible memory card.
• Access only via code.
• History: batch oriented.
• Events logging.

6FUHHQOD\RXW
This is the screen coming up ±30 seconds after power on. It is called the 0DFKLQH
YLHZ.
The screen is dominated by the machine drawing. The upper area of the screen is the
VWDWXVDUHD (1), the middle part the GLDORJDUHD (2), and the lower part is the IXQFWLRQNH\
DUHD (3). For the dialog area, the operator can, besides the default 0DFKLQHYLHZ,
select between the 3URJUDPYLHZ )XQFWLRQYLHZ and +LVWRU\YLHZ.
For the service engineer, there is also the 6HUYLFHYLHZ giving an overview of the
PLCs in- and outputs, functions, parameters and information.
To change the display brightness, pressH , H +

and or and .
Attention: this is only possible in the 0DFKLQHYLHZ.
Remark: the display brightness decreases automatically after ±2 minutes no
keyboard activity.

6WDWXVDUHD
The status area is always updated in real time, no matter what is displayed in the dialog
area. The status area shows following information:
1 2 4 3 9
5 6 7 10 11
1. The status icon indicating the status of the program:

Running
Stopped
Halted
The status icon of the master additionally shows "2" in case of coupled
SEDOMATs.
The status icon of the slave only shows the color in case of coupled
SEDOMATs.
2. Batch identification.
3. An icon indicating the status of the batch:
= batch loaded
= batch started
= batch finished
no icon = no batch loaded.
4. Program number and name.
5. The program steps in the main path, which is active and contains the sequence
pointer.
6. For the second path, only an icon represents the active program step.
7. The icon for the active program step in the third path.
8. When the SEDOMAT is to operate with four paths, there will be another icon
representing the active program step in the fourth path:
5 6 7 8
9. Alarms, local messages or PLC messages. See also 8.1.1.

10. Maximum 6 most important process-values.
11. The first logged numerical info is displayed. Usually, this is the dye program curve
(temperature vs. time). See also 9.2.

'LDORJDUHD
0DFKLQHYLHZ
During program run, the 0DFKLQHYLHZ (see above) visualizes in real time the status
of the dyeing process by filling the symbols for the machine parts with a certain color.
The view is not updated when a dialog box is on top of it. Examples of what can be
shown are the filling of a tank, the activation of valves, the movement of the cover of a
tank, the temperature of the liquid (blue or red). Furthermore, process values measured
in the machine are displayed on the exact location in the machine drawing on the screen.
3URJUDPYLHZ
This view shows in real time the active program functions in the three (see first picture)
or four (see second picture) parallel paths of the running program. The view is not
updated when a dialog box is on top of it. The screen shows up to seven program lines.
The program line in the magnified area (1) shows all function parameters, the other
program lines only show the first two parameters (3-path mode) or the first parameter
(4-path mode). A detail view allows seeing all parameters in detail: see 6.9.
As the program advances, the program lines are shifted up. The operator can interfere in
the running program and for example continue the program on another line or change
the function parameters.
The blue rectangle (2) is the cursor. An active function is on a green background (3).
Magenta pointers (4) show the position of the program sequencers.

4-path mode:
The pictures in the three manuals show three paths, which is the most common
and default situation.
See also 6.6 and 6.7.2.
)XQFWLRQYLHZ
This view shows the status of main, parallel and data functions. The function icon, name
and status are listed. The status box is filled red for to indicate an active function.
See also 6.7.4.

+LVWRU\YLHZ
The +LVWRU\YLHZ shows up to four numerical or logical values that indicate the
course of the dye program (1). Furthermore, events such as program start/stop, alarms,
function events can be visualized (2).
The history is batch-oriented (3). This means that the operator can select a previous
batch out of the list of recorded batches. When the +LVWRU\YLHZ is selected, the
history of the current active batch is displayed.
See also 9.2.
)XQFWLRQNH\DUHD
This area shows eight buttons that can contain an icon. The icon visualizes the
functionality of the function key that is located under it. If no icon is present, the
function key has no function.
When the screen shows one of the five main views, the function keys { … ö are used
ú
to open a menu. Function key opens the 2SHUDWRUGLDORJER[.
When the screen shows a dialog box, the function keys that can be used in that dialog
box, are shown in the dialog box and in the function key area.

)URQWSDQHO
The front panel consists of the keyboard (1), the LCD-display (2) and the program
status LED (3).
A barcode reader (optional) can be used to enter alphanumerical data and some
commands. Refer to the %DUFRGHUHDGHU PDQXDO for the use of the reader. See the
,QVWDOODWLRQDQGVHUYLFHPDQXDO for the implementation of the reader.

/LVWZLQGRZV (3): Lists data from which items can be selected. If only one item can
be selected, we call it a VLQJOHVHOHFWLRQOLVWZLQGRZ. If more than
one item can be selected, we call it a PXOWLVHOHFWLRQOLVWZLQGRZ.
A blue border indicates all selections.
(GLWZLQGRZV (4): Used to enter or change values. The value can be numerical or
alphanumerical, so we have QXPHULFDOHGLWZLQGRZVand
DOSKDQXPHULFDOHGLWZLQGRZV.
&RPERZLQGRZV (5): Are the same as single-selection list windows, but take less space
in the dialog box.
,QIRZLQGRZV (6): These windows do not contain changeable data. They provide
information for the operator and ask operator’s acknowledge.

The use of the keys in each type of window type is explained in 4.3.5 up to 4.3.10.
Depending on the situation, some windows are disabled and displayed in light gray (7).
Each dialog box contains one or more DFWLRQEXWWRQV (8). These are used to execute an
action upon the entered data.

This type of window is used to enter text and/or digits. The number of characters is
automatically limited. Characters are entered by selecting them from a character entry
grid; digits are entered with the numerical keypad.
There are two types of character entry grids: one for the first language (English alphabet
and some punctuation marks) and one for the second language (special characters, such
as accented characters or Chinese characters). Whether the first language or the second
language is used (SEDOMAT parameter 7, LANGUAGE CON).
The maximum number of characters for an alphanumerical edit window, stated in

the manuals, is for first language characters. When all characters are second
language characters, the maximum number of characters is halved.

For security reasons, the supervisor can define for which menu options and views an
access code is required. There are two code levels: operator level and supervisor level.
When selecting a protected entry, the SEDOMAT asks for the code:
Enter the code and press J.

Entering the code allows access to all menu options and views protected on that level.
The access times out when there is no keyboard activity for ±2 minutes. Once a
protected dialog box or view is opened, the access permission persists, even after long
keyboard inactivity. When afterwards another protected menu or view is selected, the
code has to be reentered.

The SEDOMAT works with batches. Each batch has a G\HSURJUDP related to it and
may be accompanied by EDWFKSDUDPHWHUV and EDWFKLQIRUPDWLRQ. The batch parameters
allow that the same dye program is used for different filling levels or with different
quantities of chemicals. The batch information has no influence on the dyeing process.
This information is only used to provide additional data about the batch.
The SEDOMAT can be loaded with two batches: the FXUUHQWEDWFK and the VHFRQG
EDWFK. While the current batch is running, the program for the second batch can already
be loaded, allowing SDUDOOHOIXQFWLRQV in it to be activated. For example, the side tank

can be filled from the moment that the tank is no longer needed for the current batch.
Batches can be entered on the SEDOMAT or can be fetched from SEDOMASTER.

SEDOMASTER allows planning of batches.
Batches are moved from the second batch to the current batch when a program ends.
This is illustrated with following tables. The first flowchart is for stand-alone
SEDOMATs, the second flowchart is in case SEDOMASTER is used.

A dye program consists of a sequence of functions that are executed. Most functions
have parameters. For example, the function 5(*8/$7,21 has the parameters
7,0(, 7(03(5$785( and *5$',(17. The function and the parameters
are represented by an icon: a large icon for the function, small icons for the function
parameters:

When the function is not in the magnified area, only the two first function parameters
are shown in 3-path mode, and the first function parameter in 4-path mode:
3-path mode: or 4-path mode:
The dye program is divided in three (default) or four paths. The left path always
controls the main dyeing process. The other parallel paths usually control the side tanks
and the dye kitchen. Each path contains functions applying to the corresponding tank.
A program is executed line by line. All functions on a program line are executed
simultaneously. When a line is finished, i.e. the SEDOMAT received an
acknowledgement from the PLC for all functions on the line, then the next line is
executed. For some functions, an acknowledgement that the previous function is done,
is not required, so the SEDOMAT will not wait to execute it. This way, it is possible
that in the same path, two functions are active at the same time. Example: during the
filling of the dye kitchen, the operator is called to add dyestuff.
Each path has a VHTXHQFHSRLQWHU pointing to the function being executed or pointing to
the function that will be executed next. Sequence pointers are magenta.
A program always contains special functions that control the flow of the program. These
functions do not perform any action on the dyeing machine. These functions are green.
Examples: 352*67$57, /$%(/)81&7, -803, 352*(1'.

The operator can browse in the running program without stopping it. Browsing is useful
to see the part of the program that is not shown on the screen, e.g. in order to locate
which part of the program is being executed. When, during the browsing, the program
sequencer of a path advances, the active function in the main path automatically returns
to the magnified area. This is also the case when another view is selected. Use following
keys to browse:

,QFDVHRIDQ2SHUDWRUFDOO
Operator interventions that require a decision from the operator concerning the program
flow after the intervention, are programmed with the special function Operator call.. An
example of this is the function “take a sample”. When the program executes an
23(5$725&$//, the program waits for operator intervention. The status area
shows 23(5$725&$// for all paths:
Depending on the configuration and the IL in the PLC, an external attention signal will
be given, or an alarm will be generated.
When the 3URJUDPYLHZ or 0DFKLQHYLHZ are displayed, the 2SHUDWRUFDOO
is shown automatically. When the SEDOMAT is in another view, the user

Example: This option will be used after operator interventions like add dyestuff.
([HFXWHDGGLWLRQ
Is enabled when at least one additional programs has been linked to the main dye
program.
The operator selects one of the presented additional programs. When the additional
program is finished, the same Operator call is executed again, allowing the operator
to execute the same or another additional program or to go to the next line.
Example: The operator selects an appropriate additional program depending on the
sample.

In the 3URJUDPYLHZ , an additional program is indicated with a blue title
bar:
*RWRODEHO
Is enabled when the program contains at least one label. A label is a special function
for marking the beginning of a specific program section. Program sections intended
to be used with an Operator call are usually put at the end of the program and have a
“jump function” to return to the Operator call.
The label list contains the program line for easier location in the program in case the
same label is used more than once. The operator selects one of the labels. The
program will resume with the program line after this label.
Example: The operator selects a label that marks an appropriate part of the program
depending on the sample.
In the 3URJUDPYLHZ this can also be done with J.

Before selecting one of the three options in the 2SHUDWRUFDOOGLDORJER[, the user
K
can leave this dialog box ( ) if some other action on the SEDOMAT is necessary:
• Leave the 2SHUDWRUFDOOGLDORJER[ with . K

2SHUDWRULQWHUYHQWLRQ
Besides the special function 23(5$725&$//, with which the program flow can
be changed by the operator (see 6.10), also parallel functions are possible to call for the
operator's intervention. For example a function like &$//7$1.B$calls the
operator to do something with tank A and to confirm when the action is done.
The mechanism used by the SEDOMAT and PLC to execute such function is the
following: when a CALL function is executed by the SEDOMAT, it is send to the PLC.
To notify the operator, the PLC can e.g. activate a lamp, or send a PLC message to be

displayed the SEDOMAT (see 8.3). When the intervention is done, the operator
confirms by e.g. pressing a button on the control panel of the machine or by pressing a
user key on the SEDOMAT (see 4.3.11). After confirmation, the program sequencer
jumps to the next function in the same parallel path.
4XHVWLRQSDUDPHWHUV
Usually, all functions have constant function parameters, but the programmer can
decide not to fill in a parameter value, but to leave the selection of the parameter value
to the operator. The function parameter is therefore defined as a TXHVWLRQSDUDPHWHU. In
the 3URJUDPYLHZ, such parameter is displayed as red question marks:
When the controller executes a function with a question parameter the status area will
display alarm 79 ENTER QUESTION PARAMETER. Depending on the configuration
and the IL in the PLC, an external attention signal will be given.
When the operator now enters the 3URJUDPYLHZ, or when the 3URJUDPYLHZ is
already displayed, the (GLWIXQFWLRQGLDORJER[ comes on the screen showing the
function definition. (This dialog box is the same as for editing a dye program.) Only the
windows with the function parameters that have to be defined by the operator are
enabled. Press ú ([HFXWH to close the dialog box. When the default parameter values
will be used, the operator can immediately press ú ([HFXWH.
After closing the dialog box, the function will be executed and the program continues.
In the 3URJUDPYLHZ, the red question marks are replaced by the selected parameter:

0DVWHUVODYHRSHUDWLRQ
In situations where machines can operate in coupled mode, each SEDOMAT can have
one of following statuses:
1RUPDO
The SEDOMAT operates stand-alone.
0DVWHU
This SEDOMAT runs the dye program and controls its PLC. This PLC controls
the PLC of the slave machine. The master SEDOMAT waits for an
acknowledgement of both PLCs before executing the next program line.
Only one SEDOMAT can be the master.
In the right bottom corner of the status icon, a "2" marks the coupled mode. See
also 2.1.
6ODYH
A slave SEDOMAT listens to the master and cannot run a dye program. A slave
SEDOMAT functions as an external display for the master SEDOMAT. Only the
Machine Synoptic can be observed, all other views (except the 6HUYLFHYLHZ)
are disabled.
The status area shows the status of the slave machine. The status icon only shows
a color square. See also 2.1.
It is only possible to stop the program on this SEDOMAT.

Examples:
• Stop the dye process for a longer period, e.g. the weekend.
• Abort a batch for some reason.
• Change function parameters and start/stop functions: during program development,
for tests, to correct program errors, to solve disturbances and malfunctions.
For this, the SEDOMAT offers several tools in the ,QWHUYHQWLRQVPHQX .
$WWHQWLRQ
During normal operation, make as less interventions in a running program as possible.

The tools described in this chapter should only be used in exceptional circumstances
and with great care. Usually, the configuration of the SEDOMAT and PLC define some
safety measures, but the user has to be sure that the intervention he will take is safe.
Concerning SEDOMASTER, the planning can be disorganized.

When an error occurs in the SEDOMAT, the PLC, the dyeing process or the machine,
an alarm is generated. In case of a serious error, the program is stopped or halted. A stop
ends the program immediately and completely. A halt stops the sequencers. The active
functions are completed. In case of a warning alarm, there is no influence on the dyeing
process.
An alarm can result in the activation of a lamp or a horn. This goes via the alarm
marker. There are five different alarm markers for different levels of importance. The
configuration defines which alarm marker is activated by the alarm. The IL in the PLC
defines what happens when an alarm marker is set.

There are three possible actions taken by the SEDOMAT:
• Stop program: The program is stopped immediately and completely. The user has
to remove the cause for the alarm and then delete the alarm.
• Halt program: The sequencers are stopped and the active functions are completed.
The user has to remove the cause for the alarm and then delete the
alarm.
• No action: The program proceeds. These alarms are warnings. They disappear
automatically when the cause for the alarm is removed.
The 96 alarms are divided according their origin:
• Alarm 1-32, 41-49, 57-64: User alarms. These alarms are defined during the
configuration.
• Alarm 33-40, 50-55: System alarms caused by the PLC

+LVWRU\
The SEDOMAT records analog values (e.g. temperature, pressure, level) and logical
values (e.g. pump direction). The data is memorized per batch, along with all events
(see 9.5). There is one record each minute. There is no recording during the inactive
time between batches.
The oldest batch data is removed when there is insufficient memory for the new batch
data. The number of recorded batches is limited to 20. The amount of recorded time
depends on the number of analog values that are recorded. This number is defined by
the configuration and is maximum eight.
Maximum number of recorded hours:
Number of recorded values Number of recorded hours
SEDOMAT 3500 SEDOMAT 5000

In the +LVWRU\ YLHZ you can observe the curves of the current batch and of recorded
batches.
When the SEDOMAT is connected to a PC running the SEDOMASTER software, the

batch data is also logged on the PC and can be examined with the SEDOMASTER
software.
For customers with stand-alone SEDOMATs, we offer the PC-software “History

Convert” (part number A102026) to convert batch data to ASCII-format, so it can be
opened and examined with e.g. Microsoft Excel. The data is transferred from
SEDOMAT to PC using a memory card. The PC must of course have a PCMCIA slot.
