The intuitive visualization software GALILEO is an intuitional, easy-to-learn and still powerful project design environment which fulfills almost all requirements of an on-site machine operation. With its non-sector specific concept the visualization software offers seamless project design for all XV/XP operator panels and all PC run-time solutions. It provides full functionality for the project designer at any time without any graduated restrictions
Reduction of startup and maintenance time by using project simulation on the development-PC Visualization software for all XV devices (3.5” – 15” touch panels) and PCs The intuitive user guidance makes it possible to create a project within a half-day Orientation on international mechanical engineering (such as through pre-defined keyboards for specific languages, the ability to change language and units of measurement while running) Over 100 protocols for almost all current PLCs makes it possible to use GALILEO in conjunction with PLC systems from other makers as well Assurance of project design know-how through continuous forward compatibility of your projects GALILEO communicates with CODESYS, allowing for example simple import/export of PLC variables No graduated performance level and no restrictions on variables or screens Realization of Lean Automation Solutions based on SmartWire-DT® technology. Outstanding Features Numerous graphical objects such as slide adjuster, bar graph, Graph plotter (Anti-Aliasing), curve chart, camera Dynamic objects in position and size Parameter List (any number of data objects in a screen) Comprehensive administration of formulation and users (such as through password expirations) Integration of variables (numerical values or text) in single or multiple line alarm messages Ability to change language and units of measurement while running Pre-defined, language-specific keypad configurations Freely configurable help screens with text, images and markings Transparent bitmaps, touch zones and texts Enhanced sub masks (a group of objects combined to a new object) User logger: user actions carried out on the panel can be logged and stored in a CSV file Direct printing on panel (reports, forms) Communication to CoDeSys V2 and CoDeSys V3 PLC Simple project comparison by storing of project data in the XML format Export and import of all project texts to Excel for translation (Unicode support; also Asian character sets) User-defined data types can be defined and instances created Communication specific data types are created automatically when using „easy 500/700“ or „easy 800/MFD“ communication.
GALILEO is the ideal solution for all machine and process-related applications in the fields of mechanical and plant engineering. With over 100 protocols for all standard PLCs, GALILEO also provides international MOEMs with the opportunity to streamline their different visualization systems down to one single system. EatonEU-SmartWirepanel_264 GALILEO has been specially optimized for the powerful HMI solutions from Eaton. The GALILEO visualization tool is also the right choice for lean automation solutions involving SmartWire-DT technology. The visualization software has been designed to be industry-agnostic.

Galileo software – the ultimate in visualisation
November 2013Operator Interfaces, Switches & Relays
Eaton Corporation now offers machine and system builders HMI/HMI-PLC panels for operation, visualisation and control. Eaton’s state-of-the-art touch panels provide clear and flexible menu guidance in any language required. Control, regulation, positioning and fieldbus communication are implemented using the Xsoft-CoDeSys-2 programming language. The graphical user interface is created via the user-friendly Galileo visualisation software, allowing machine builders to sell their machines worldwide with only one hardware and software solution required.
The Galileo visualisation software offers the user several functions for programming all graphical operating devices from the Micro Innovation/Eaton HMI product range. User-friendliness is a key feature of the software. It is easy to learn and ensures intuitive operation. Ready-to-use functions and many basic objects enable the user to design the panel visualisation exactly as required. A runtime preview, Inspector, makes it possible to simulate the results of the designed visualisation early during the development stage.
The new Galileo software offers objects for even greater development ease. For the first time, users can position their objects on different levels and create user-defined data types. The software is particularly compatible and can run efficiently on all WinCE panels. Visualisation design can be carried out in several different languages and the country-specific keyboard layout is also provided for inputs. The complete Unicode character set including Asian characters is supported. The languages and value scaling can be changed, even when the program is running. With around 150 communication drivers, Galileo is also compatible with all standard protocols, such as Siemens Simatic, Rockwell PLC and ControlLogix, Omron, CoDeSysV2/V3, Eaton Easy and many more. Up to eight communication channels can be created in parallel and data can be synchronised easily.
The user interface is created using objects. These can be placed on all levels and arranged as required. For a more modern and attractive user interface, the design engineer can likewise adjust the transparency of objects. Objects can also be positioned statically or dynamically. The size or position of a dynamic object can also be changed later by the user, and access can be controlled.
Eaton supplies several basic objects for the visualisation. This provides the user with a range of several buttons, switches and slide adjusters for the design of the interface of his panel. Besides the basic objects provided, the software also offers some more powerful objects as well. These include, for example, a flexibly configurable gauge meter for which the edges can be smoothed. Another object is for error management, and provides errors with a time stamp, assigns them to an error type and creates an error history. Error messages can also be provided with a placeholder which, at the time of the error, can either be filled with a value variable or a project text.
An extensive user management function can also be integrated in the panel design. This allows the administrators to add and remove users and assign these to predefined user groups. The minimum length of passwords, password history, password ageing, automatic logout and a monitoring of invalid logins can also be set in order to ensure that the system is secure. Another object is the parameter list. This shows variables as a list and also allows them to be changed.
Recipe management enables the user to change production parameters for two different production processes; predefined recipes contain all the relevant production parameters.
Eaton’s Galileo is a comprehensive software tool with a high level of user friendliness and intuitive operation that simplifies working with the visualisation software. A great benefit is the high level of compatibility with a large number of controllers, allowing machine builders to thus choose Eaton’s HMI/HMI-PLC panels and Galileo at a later time.
