The HT3000 Cloud HMI (Human Machine Interface) is an embedded system designed for industrial automation monitoring and management. It enables visual observation of industrial scenes and communication with various industrial control equipment. The system collects production signals from industrial sites to achieve monitoring and promptly notifies relevant staff of alarm information via screen, computer language, WeChat, SMS, and email. The HT3000 supports network projects, allowing multiple devices to act as clients and servers, sharing data through the network to facilitate distributed control. It also supports data recording and storage, enabling analysis of real-time and historical working conditions to resolve production failures, improve production efficiency, and enhance product quality. The high-speed version, launched in 2019, offers improved speed over the original HT3000 series, while the HD version (HT3000-H series) optimizes definition.
The HT3000 embedded system is built on embedded Linux, integrating SVG image editing and processing technology, TCP/IP network communication, serial communication, multi-threading, multi-process, and a Javascript extended script analysis and running engine.
The HT3000 HMI communicates with PLCs via RS232, RS485 serial ports, or Ethernet. For hardware wiring, the HT3000-10 connects to the PLC via RS232 and to a static Ethernet network. Proper installation is crucial, following the manual's directions for terminal wiring to prevent product failure or burnout. Sufficient space must be maintained at the bottom of the HMI and other components for adequate heat dissipation. The HMI is installed into a cut-out panel and secured with four buckles.
For device connection, both the HMI and PLC must be powered. The HMI's COM-RS232 interface connects to the PLC's RS232 interface.
Network connection involves long-pressing the upper right corner of the HMI to access background settings. From there, navigate to "Network" to enter the Ethernet settings interface, enable the "Switch," and select either "Static IP" or "DHCP." If "Static IP" is chosen, the correct IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS must be entered and saved. For Wi-Fi settings, navigate to the "WI-FI" interface, turn on the Wi-Fi switch, select the desired Wi-Fi network, enter the password, and connect. A green tick indicates a successful connection. The gray "i" icon allows setting IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS for Wi-Fi, which can be saved. Clicking the "Ignore WI-FI" button disconnects the Wi-Fi, requiring re-entry of the password to reconnect.
The HMI can also function as a personal hotspot. By navigating to "AP" in the network settings, the personal hotspot switch can be turned on, and a hotspot name and password can be set to share Wi-Fi with other users. The hotspot name must be 6 to 18 characters long, and the password can be empty or 8 to 20 characters.
The HT3000 series offers various network configuration models:
Routing configuration allows selecting different modes: "Close routing," "AP point mode," "4G routing mode," "Repeater mode," "Client mode," and "4G client mode."
Project running involves opening HTCloud Designer software, creating a new project, and selecting the appropriate device model (e.g., HT3000-10) in the "Layout Info" field under "Project configuration." To download a project, access the device manager (local or cloud), click "Download project," and confirm settings such as reserving history, alarm records, formulas, and packaged font downloads. After successful download and HMI restart, the project will automatically open.
The HTCloud Manager facilitates device management. Users can access the device manager interface via HTCloud Designer software.
To update firmware, navigate to the device manager, select "Firmware update," choose the firm package, and click "Open." The latest firmware can be obtained from HNC. Confirm the offline update, click "Update," and wait for completion. A "update success" prompt will appear.
Clicking "Start calibration" enters the calibration interface. Press the calibration mark on the screen for an extended period, then follow prompts to touch subsequent calibration sites (left, right, up, down, mid).
Clicking "Update device time" synchronizes the device's system time with the PC's system time.
Clicking "Get PN code" displays the current PN code of the device.
Clicking "Get version" displays the current software and hardware version information.
To upload history records, access the "upload history record" interface.
Clicking "Restart Device" prompts for confirmation. After confirmation, the device restarts, and a "Device Restart Successful" prompt appears.
Long-pressing the upper right corner of the HMI or accessing it via a browser (entering IP/setting) leads to the background settings interface.
The HMI supports Simplified Chinese and English. The language can be switched by clicking the language settings button in the upper right corner of the background settings interface.
To exit background settings and return to the project running interface, click "Back."
