Com mu ni ca tions Set tings
· Com Port Select COM1 – COM10 on the computer to download a project to the OIT.
· Baud Rate Select 38400 or 115200 bps to download or upload a project to the OIT. We recommend that
you use 115200 unless your computer is unable to transmit at that speed.
· Project or Recipe Download/Upload Select Project Download/Upload when you want to download the
project. Select Recipe Download/Upload to update your recipe files (recipe module only available for some
models).
· Complete or Partial Download/Upload When you first program the OIT you should select a complete
download. A complete download should also be used whenever a new version of EZware-500 is used or
you receive a Boot ROM update. Finally, a complete download should be performed whenever the PLC
protocol driver is changed. If, however, you are making changes to a project file then you can decrease the
download time by selecting partial download/upload.
Op er ating Modes
· Click EasyBuilder to start the EasyBuilder application software.
· Click Online-Simulator to open a compiled project file (*.eob) in on-line simulator mode. Check Direct
Online-Simulator to perform online simulation without using the OIT.
· Click Offline-Simulator to open a compiled project file (*.eob) in off-line simulator mode. See the chapter
“Simulator Mode” for more information.
· Click Download to send a compiled project file stored on the computer to the OIT.
· Click Upload to receive a compiled project file from the OIT to be stored in the computer.
 Files uploaded from the OIT are “.eob” files. These need to be decompiled, before they
can be modified by the EasyBuilder software. To decompile, go to the Tools menu, and
select Decompile. Browse for your file and then press the “Decompile” button. This
will create a “.epj” file, which can be opened and modified in EasyBuilder. (If the
project was created in a version of EasyBuilder prior to v.2.0, it will not decompile.)
· Click Jump To RDS to place the OIT in Remote, Debug, Simulation mode. This mode is used only when
you need to update the Boot ROM.
· Click Jump To Application to place the OIT in normal application mode. This command must be sent to
the OIT to get the OIT to execute the project file that is stored inside of it.
· Click Jump To Touch Adjust to calibrate your touch screen. The OIT displays a crosshair cursor and you
are asked to touch the crosshair cursor for:
• the top left po si tion
• the top right po si tion
• the bottom left po si tion
• the bottom right position
· Two rectangle objects then appear on the OIT screen. To determine if the touch screen is properly
calibrated, place and hold your finger somewhere on the touch screen other than on the rectangle spots. The
crosshair cursor should appear directly beneath your finger. If necessary, press the left rectangle to repeat
the calibration. Press the right rectangle to end calibration.
· Once calibration is complete, press the touch screen again to go back to normal application mode.
 The touch screen is always calibrated at the factory, so it shouldn’t require calibration
under normal circumstances.
That’s all there is to EasyManager! Most of the time, you will use EasyManager to start the project that you have
downloaded from EasyBuilder to the OIT by clicking the Jump To Application button.
