HMI Local Setup 7
Chapter 2 – HMI Local Setup
Factory Configuration
Each HMI arrives from the factory with a demo project file that illustrates some of the most popular features of the
HMI. For a first time user, it is worthwhile to navigate through the screens in the demo project and become familiar
with the features and capabilities of the HMI and EZware-5000. Refer to the EasyBuilder-5000 Help file for more
information about the features and operation of the HMI and EasyBuilder-5000.
The HMI also has a black reset push button and a four position DIP switch located through an access hole on the back
of the enclosure. The reset switch can be used to reinitialize the HMI if the HMI malfunctions. DIP switch 1 puts the
HMI into Touch Calibration mode. For normal operation, all of the DIP switches should be set to the OFF position.
This chapter describes how to use the Silver Series’ local setup options. The local setup allows touchscreen
calibration, transferring projects to and from the HMI, configuring the HMI’s IP settings, passwords, time and date,
screen contrast, as well as managing the storage of recipe and history files. Additionally, memory and other system
information can be viewed.
Calibrating the Touchscreen
The touchscreen of the HMI is fully calibrated before it leaves the factory so there is no need to adjust it. However,
over time the touchscreen may need to be recalibrated.
 To calibrate the touchscreen:
1. Turn DIP switch 1 ON.
2. Cycle power to the HMI (or press the reset button next to the DIP switches).
3. After the HMI displays a crosshair cursor, you are prompted to touch the cursor for:
Top left position Top right position
Center position
Bottom left position Bottom right position
4. You have the option to restore the system settings password to the default setting (111111). If you choose
Yes, a dialog box will inform you that the project will be erased in the HMI. You must type Yes to complete the
operation. After performing this operation, you must reset the Upload, Download, and Upload (History)
Passwords in the System Settings Security tab. When you next download a project, check the Firmware and
Font files checkboxes in the Download dialog.
If you choose No or allow the option to timeout, the HMI will resume initializing and run the project.
 Screen calibration is accessed through the System Setup Toolbar on the HMI5104XH, HMI5121X, and HMI5150X
(see below).
Getting into Local Setup
Accessing the local setup menus requires a USB-mouse connected to the HMI (except the HMI5043N/T and
HMI5056N). Using the mouse, point to the lower right-hand corner of the HMI. The open bar icon will appear. Click on
the icon to call up the System Setup Toolbar (note this toolbar is on the HMI screen):
Open/close bar icon
Virtual keyboard icon
System info icon
Small keyboard icon
Large keyboard icon
