IV. Operating Notes

Pre‑Installation Preparation: Verify software model (504110) and license order number (895400001) and confirm compatibility with HIMatrix controller firmware. Check PC hardware and OS compliance and pre‑install .NET Framework 4.8 or later. Disable antivirus software and firewall before installation (re‑enable afterward) to avoid blocking installation or license activation.
License Management: Safeguard the hardware dongle against loss, damage, or lending. Insert the dongle to activate the software after installation; full functions are unavailable in inactive state. Cracking, copying, or unauthorized use of the software or license is prohibited and may result in software invalidation and corresponding legal liability.
Programming and Configuration Standards: Logic must strictly comply with IEC 61131-3 and IEC 61508 to avoid logic flaws. Back up existing system programs before configuration to prevent faults caused by misconfiguration. Confirm parameter scope when modifying online; changes to safety‑related core parameters are strictly forbidden. Perform offline simulation and online verification after logic development to ensure correctness. Evaluate impact on system cycle time before using variable forcing; disable via key switch if necessary.
Operating Environment Control: Host PC to be placed in an enclosed, dry, ventilated control room away from frequency converters, high‑voltage busbars, and other strong EMI sources. Maintain temperature 0°C–60°C and humidity 20%–80% (non‑condensing) to avoid environmental performance issues. Regularly clean disk clutter and optimize system performance to prevent slowdowns.
Electrostatic Protection Procedures: Ensure an electrostatic‑free work area during configuration and hardware connection. Operators must wear ESD wrist straps to prevent equipment and data damage from electrostatic discharge. If surges may occur on-site, enable noise blanking in the software to require signal validation for at least two cycles, delaying fault response accordingly. This setting is unnecessary if plant design eliminates internal surges.
Routine Maintenance and Safe Operation: Regularly back up configuration files, program logic, and fault records (monthly backup recommended) to prevent data loss. Update software via official HIMA channels to improve stability and security. Forcibly closing the software during operation is prohibited to avoid data corruption. When connecting to a controller for maintenance, confirm its running status first to avoid disrupting on-site production. Follow software warning instructions strictly to prevent personal injury or equipment damage due to improper operation.
