How to Bind DOP-100 to DIACloud via Wi-Fi Dongle
Document Code: 152A-P-D2412-APN001-EN
1. Introduction
DIACloud is an IoT cloud platform designed for machine manufacturers and end users. It enables the creation of customized dashboards for collecting, analyzing, and leveraging data to improve efficiency and provide machine status insights across the entire IoT architecture.
2. Scenario
To address regional environmental restrictions, the DOP-100 product is paired with a Wi-Fi Dongle to facilitate remote connection to DIACloud. This setup allows machine manufacturers and users to troubleshoot machines, correct PLC errors, and remotely use or update the HMI without the need for travel. The architecture involves machines with PLC and Wi-Fi/4G dongle connecting to DIACloud, which is then accessed by DIACloud clients.
Diagram Description: The diagram illustrates a three-part architecture: 'Remote Site' showing industrial machinery connected via wired Ethernet and serial ports, with a Wi-Fi/4G dongle enabling wireless internet connectivity. 'Connectivity' is represented by the DIACloud cloud icon, indicating data transfer and management. 'User' shows a person interacting with a computer displaying DIACloud clients and DIAWebDesigner, signifying remote monitoring and control.
3. Hardware/Software Configuration
No. | Device | Type | Quantity |
1 | HMI | DOP-3S07S3E2 | 1 |
2 | Dongle | DX-MWB-01 | 1 |
Software Version: DIAScreen 1.4.3.45
Firmware Version: Ver-1.0132.8.1
Architecture Diagram Description: This diagram visually represents the connectivity flow. On the left, under 'Remote Site', a machine with a PLC is shown connected via wired Ethernet and serial connections. A Wi-Fi/4G dongle is attached, providing wireless internet access. In the center, the 'Connectivity' section shows the DIACloud cloud icon, indicating the central hub for data. On the right, under 'User', a computer screen displays 'DIACloud Clients' and 'DIAWebDesigner', illustrating the remote access and management interface.
4. Operational Steps
Connecting the Wi-Fi Dongle to DOP-100 Series
- Plug the DX-MWB-01 into the DOP-100 series HMI. Note: DOP-107SV does not support the Wi-Fi Dongle.
- Open the eDIACloud App and scan the QR code on the Wi-Fi Dongle.
- Upon scanning, a screen will appear prompting for a PIN code. Enter the correct PIN and click 'Next'. The PIN can be found below the green QR code on the HMI's back (for LICENSE+HMI) or on the front of the Dongle (for DONGLE+HMI).
- Follow the on-screen instructions to scan the HMI serial number.
- Enter the required information and click 'OK'. This completes the HMI binding process.
- In DIAScreen, select the DOP-100 series HMI model, navigate to the IloT page, click '4G/Wi-Fi Dongle', choose 'Wi-Fi Dongle', and then select 'Enable Cloud Service'. This action finalizes the HMI binding.
- To download the HMI project: In DIAScreen, go to Common > Environment settings > Upload/Download Settings. Switch to Ethernet mode, open the IloT page, click 'DIACom', and enter your DIACloud account and password.
Image Description (QR Code Display): This image shows a screen with a QR code labeled 'QR Code Display'. Below it, there are options to bind the HMI to DIACloud or unbind the HMI.
Image Description (PIN Entry): This image depicts a mobile application screen for entering a PIN code to proceed with a connection. It prompts the user to enter the device PIN and provides guidance on where to find the initial PIN.
Image Description (HMI Serial Number Scan): This image shows a mobile application's camera view, ready to scan a QR code, likely for the HMI serial number, to facilitate the binding process.
Image Description (DIAScreen IloT Page): This image displays the DIAScreen software interface, showing tabs for '4G Dongle' and 'Wi-Fi Dongle'. The 'Wi-Fi Dongle' section is active, with an option to 'Enable Cloud Service'.
Image Description (DIACom Login): This image shows the DIACom login screen, requiring an email address and password. It includes options for 'Remember me' and 'Forgot?', along with a 'Log In' button and a link to 'Sign up for DIACloud'.
Image Description (Secure Tunnel): This image shows the DIACom 'Secure Tunnel' interface. It lists HMI details such as SN, device status (Online), HMI tunnel status (Online), and HMI IP Address. It allows specifying a PC IP address for creating a tunnel.
Image Description (HMI Selection for Transfer): This image displays a screen within a software application, likely for transferring HMI projects. It shows a list of HMI serial numbers, and an input field for an IP address (e.g., 192.168.160.100) to initiate the transfer.
After creating the tunnel, the HMI IP location will be available. For example, the HMI IP location is shown as 192.168.160.100.
Return to the DIAScreen software page, enter the obtained IP address (e.g., 192.168.160.100) and click 'Start Transfer' to download the HMI project.
5. Functions
Once the DOP-100 is successfully connected to DIACloud, remote upload and download of the HMI project become possible.
6. Conclusion
This document has outlined the process of binding a DOP-100 HMI to DIACloud using a Wi-Fi Dongle.
