2 Communication Chapter 2 Communication Before performing any communication, it is better to understand the hardware interface of TP series and how to set the communication settings in TPEditor software program. Please refer to the following sections for the method of communication. An external 24V DC power is required when activating TP series. After the power is in connected to TP series, the start-up display will show up first and then the system main menu of TP series will appear. Choose “4.
2 Communication After complete the communication settings, PC is capable of communicating to the TP series. Please refer to the Figure 2-3 for communication connection.

2 Communication WAIT COMM...... Figure 2-5 Step 3. Then, activate TPEditor software program, click Communication(M) > Write to TP(W) (Figure 2-6). The Confirm dialog box will display (Figure 2-7), and then press Yes button for confirmation. The system will start to download the program to TP series. At the same time, the downloading status (percentage of downloading) will also show during download process (Figure 2-8). After the download succeeded, press OK button to complete transmission (Figure 2-9).
2 Communication Figure 2-8 Figure 2-9 Then, the words of “RECEIVING……” will display on the screen of TP series (Figure 2-10). RECEIVING...... 37% Figure 2-10 Step 4. The users may also use Read from TP(R), Write Boot Page to TP(B), and Write Menu to TP(M) these commands in Communication(M) option. The communication method is the same as the operation of Write to TP(W) command. Step 5. Usually, the functions of Write Boot Page to TP(B), and Write Menu to TP(M) are disabled and can not be used.
3 Examples Chapter 3 Examples Example 1: Edit Boot Page Display Step 1. Open TPEditor software program. Click or select File (F) > New to create a new file. Then, click View (V) > Boot Page, and the Boot Page window will display on the screen (Figure 3-1). Figure 3-1 Step 2. In the editing screen area of Boot Page window, only two objects can be created. One is Static Text and the other is Static Bitmap .
3 Examples Step 3. Double click the square and the following Open dialog box (Figure 3-3) will display. It is used to select and import desired picture (the picture must be a BMP file) for displaying in the screen area. Figure 3-3 Step 4. After selecting the desired BMP file and press Open(O) button, the screen will look like the Figure 3-4 below. Figure 3-4 Step 5. Next, in the system main menu of TP04G, choose “1.D/L AP TP04G PC”.

Finally, in the system main menu of TP04G, choose “4.TP04G SETUP” > “8.START-UP DISPLAY” > “2.USER DEFINE” to complete the editing of Boot Page as shown as the following Figure 3-5. 5.BUZZER 6.LANGUAGE 7.PASSWORD 8. START-UP DISPLAY ENTER START-UP DISPLAY 1.TP04G DEFAULT 2.USER DEFINE Figure 3-5 The Boot Page (START-UP DISPLAY) can be determined by the users freely. For example, the users can use the logo of the company as the display of the Boot Page.
3 Examples Example 2: How to use TP04G to communicate with two PLCs and control the ON/OFF status of the output contacts of these two PLCs. Step 1. Open TPEditor software program to click or select File (F) > New to create a new file (Figure 3-7). Figure 3-7 Step 2. After clicking or selecting File (F) > New, to create a new file, the New Project dialog box will display (Figure 3-8). Enter the Set Device Type, TP Type and File Name. Click OK button, and a new editing screen will be opened in TPEditor.

In this example, “Push ON/OFF” is selected. Step 6. In the field of Write-in type in Y1 and click and the Refer Device tab will open (Figure 3-10). It is used to set write-in PLC device name and number. In this example, device Y1 is set. It indicates that the ON/OFF status of PLC Y1 device could be controlled by TP04G.
3 Examples Step 8. Check the box next to Function Key and click . The drop-down list will appear and show F0 ~ F9, Up, Down, Left and Right for selection. The users can set it freely to control the button object. Step 9. The users can set User Level to protect the function of the button object. Step 10. Button Text is used to add the text on the button. Usually, the font setting is 8x12 for clear display. The users can also use Graph Input option to import the picture on the button. Step 11.
