Import
You can select any file with the default extension hmi. This is the only valid extension allowed.
The file could be in any directory. The project must be of the same PLC type as the current
project. If the PLC model is different, ATMSoft32 will verify that all the tags are in range and are
valid. If not, then the import is not possible. Select the file you want and press OK. On any failure,
ATMSoft32 will report the error messages. On success, ATMSoft32 will start the import process.
Update
After making changes for an existing tag, click on this button to accept the new changes.
Setting the MTR and the LED Registers
To access the MTR and LED Register:
From the Main Menu (within ATMSOFT32), select "EDIT| SETUP" or use the shortcut [F9] to open
the "Setup screen."

Serial Port Settings
Settings are only necessary to configure if you want to use the serial port as a printer port.
Programming New Messages
In order to add messages, it is necessary to access the Message Editor and define the type of message
to create.
It is very important to know that if a "data entry" message is used, the MTR will not update or change the
displaying message as long as the "Data Entry point" is active. If the new data entry is not "entered" and
the [ENT] key is not pressed, you will be able to switch from one message to the next.

2 - The "Message editor" window will open, click on the 2 icon from the Left (blank page icon).
3 - The "New Message dialog box" will open, select the desired message type (Normal, Link,
Special, Function Key), and click [OK].
11
Getting Started
Suggested Programming Sequence (continuation)
Normal
Message is entered in a text box and is capable of displaying a 2 X 16 character text. The
message can scroll or flash, have embedded bits and data registers, and can be chained to
another message with a delay time.
NOTE: The MTR will display such message based on the number loaded into the MTR.
Link
Several messages may be combined (linked) to created a submenu.
NOTE: If a "LINK" message is used, the M.T.R. will be overwritten by the ATM-10 to
display the current message number.
NOTE: ATM-40 does not support Link messages.
Special
Message capable of directly modifying bits (turn ON/OFF), (WRITE VALUE) data registers in
the PLC, embedding bits and data for monitoring, and allows the user to modify the data within
the message.
NOTE: While a "Data Entry" Message is "active" (Value is "blinking"), the M.T.R. may be
overwritten. However, the "New" message will not become visible, until the Data Entry"
(New Value) is "entered", by pressing [ENT]. "Entry" is aborted by pressing [ESC].
Function Key
Message capable of programming a Function Key to directly modify bits (turn ON/OFF),
(WRITE VALUE) data registers in the PLC, embedding bits and data for monitoring, and
allows the user to modify the data within the message.
NOTE: If ladder logic is used to load a message into the M.T.R., a "Function Key
Message" will be overwritten. Therefore, it is necessary to use the "DF" function while
writing logic to control the M.T.R. so that any message triggered by ladder logic will be
executed only once.

Basic Questions
What does the unit do?
The ATM-10 connects to the Aromat PLC over its programming port. It is capable of displaying messages
based on conditions in the PLC and is capable of changing data in the PLC registers/coils. It can also print a
message over the serial port. The serial port of the unit can also be used as a pass-through port. The unit
can establish communications with the PLC, while (MEWTOCOL) communication by other terminal, or
communication by a host PC can also be established simultaneously.
Normal messages are used to monitor status or alarms. A message can have register values or bit
controlled text embedded in it, which is dynamically updated.
Special messages are used to change data in the PLC or to turn a coil ON or OFF.
Link Message defines a list of messages that can be viewed consecutively by pressing the NEXT or
PREV keys.
Ex: A number loaded into the M.T.R. (DT0), using ladder logic will display Message #1 in the ATM-10.
14
Basic Questions
What are message attributes?
A normal message can flash or scroll on the display. Any message can be assigned to be sent to a serial
printer. A message can be assigned only to the top line, bottom line or both lines. A minimum time can be
assigned to ensure that the operator has enough time to view the message. If the PLC calls other messages
in this time, they will be stored on a queue inside the unit. The maximum queue size is 3 messages.
NOTE: Putting the number 128 in MTR can clear the queue. You can also call a message on priority
by putting the number 128 in MTR first and then calling the desired message number.
Key operations
All keys perform user-defined functions as configured by the software.
Arrow keys, CLR and ENT keys are used (with data entry) to change data.
NEXT and PREV keys act as function keys.
NEXT and PREV keys are used to scroll through the list of messages.
Other keys act as function keys.
The Function keys are re-definable (i.e. the function assigned to a particular function key can be redefined),
but this redefinition of the function key depends on the message being displayed. This is valid only for an
all-line message. The re-definable function keys have preference over normal function key operations for a
particular message. For linked messages, F1 and F2 cannot be redefined since they are acting as NEXT
and PREV keys respectively.

Basic Questions
How is the unit configured?
Each unit MUST be configured using the Windows based setup software provided with the unit.

Basic Questions
How are messages defined?
Messages can be configured by using the Edit-Messages menu or by clicking on the Messages tool.
First, the software will prompt you to enter the message number to be edited or defined. If it is a new
message, you will be asked to select the type of message (i.e. normal, special, link message or function key
message).
The message definition screen allows you to enter in your message in a "what you see is what you get"
format. Simply type in your message. To embed any dynamically animated register variable, press the
"Embed Register" button. It allows you to select the tag as well as format the embedded data. It is possible
to display register values in a bar graph format. Similarly, pressing the "Embed bit" button can also enter bit
sensitive text. The text for when the bit is ON as well as for when the bit is OFF can be entered here.
The message screen allows editing of the message attributes. Note that a scrolling message can not flash.
If chaining is used, then the "chained to" message must be defined.
A list of messages called a link message can be defined. It allows you to pick a list from the already defined
messages and can be viewed by pressing the NEXT or PREV keys. This mode can be simulated in the
software itself. A standard Drag and Drop format can be used for this definition.
Key Definition:
The redefinition of the function keys can be done using the Keys for Messages part in
the Setup dialog in the software.
The basic questions that you have just read also apply to the ATM-40.
