1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the tadl DOP-103WQ Human Machine Interface (HMI). The DOP-103WQ is a 4.3-inch enhanced Ethernet HMI with a color touchscreen, designed for industrial control and monitoring applications. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the device to ensure proper and safe operation.
2. Safety Information
Observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury to personnel and damage to the device or connected equipment:
- Electrical Safety: Ensure the power supply voltage matches the device's requirements. Disconnect power before performing any installation or maintenance.
- Environment: Install the HMI in an environment free from excessive dust, moisture, corrosive gases, and extreme temperatures. Avoid direct sunlight.
- Grounding: Properly ground the device to prevent electrical shock and ensure stable operation.
- Qualified Personnel: Installation and maintenance should only be performed by qualified and authorized personnel.
- Modifications: Do not modify the device. Unauthorized modifications can lead to malfunction, safety hazards, and void the warranty.

4. Setup
4.1 Physical Installation
- Panel Cutout: Prepare a panel cutout according to the dimensions provided in the specifications section.
- Mounting: Insert the HMI unit into the panel cutout. Secure it using the provided mounting brackets and screws. Ensure a tight fit to prevent dust and moisture ingress.
- Power Connection: Connect the power supply to the HMI's power terminal. Observe correct polarity. The HMI typically requires a 24V DC power supply.
- Grounding: Connect the HMI's grounding terminal to a reliable earth ground.
4.2 Network and Communication Setup
- Ethernet Connection: Connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch or PLC to the HMI's Ethernet port.
- Serial Communication (if applicable): If using serial communication, connect the appropriate cable (e.g., RS-232, RS-485) to the HMI's serial port and the target device.
4.3 Software Configuration
The HMI requires project files created using dedicated configuration software (e.g., Delta DOPSoft). Refer to the software's documentation for detailed instructions on project creation, communication settings, and HMI program download.
- Install the configuration software on your PC.
- Create or open an HMI project.
- Configure communication parameters (e.g., IP address, serial port settings) to match your PLC or control system.
- Download the compiled project to the HMI via Ethernet or USB.
5. Operating
5.1 Powering On/Off
- Power On: After connecting the power supply, the HMI will automatically power on and load the configured project.
- Power Off: To power off, disconnect the power supply. It is recommended to ensure no critical operations are in progress before powering off.
5.2 Touchscreen Operation
The DOP-103WQ features a resistive touchscreen. Use a finger or a non-sharp stylus to interact with the display elements.
- Tapping: Press and release quickly to activate buttons or input fields.
- Dragging: Press and hold, then move your finger across the screen for scrolling or moving objects (if supported by the application).
5.3 Basic Navigation
Navigation within the HMI application is determined by the project design. Typically, buttons or tabs are used to switch between different screens or display various data.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
- Display: Gently wipe the touchscreen with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the screen.
- Casing: Clean the HMI casing with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using strong solvents or abrasive materials.
6.2 Firmware Updates
Periodically check the manufacturer's website for firmware updates. Firmware updates can provide new features, performance improvements, or bug fixes. Follow the instructions provided with the firmware update package carefully.
7. Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues. If the problem persists, contact technical support.
- HMI Does Not Power On:
- Check the power supply connection and voltage.
- Ensure the power source is active.
- Verify proper wiring of the power connector.
- Touchscreen Unresponsive:
- Restart the HMI by cycling power.
- Ensure the screen is clean and free from obstructions.
- If the issue persists, the touchscreen may require calibration (refer to software documentation) or service.
- Communication Error with PLC/Controller:
- Verify physical cable connections (Ethernet, serial).
- Check network settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway) on both the HMI and the PLC.
- Confirm communication protocol settings in the HMI project match the PLC.
- Ensure the PLC is powered on and operating correctly.
- Display Issues (e.g., blank screen, distorted image):
- Restart the HMI.
- Check for environmental factors like extreme temperature.
- If the issue persists, contact support.
