Introduction

What is a CE Video Terminal

A CE VIDEO TERMINAL (VTCE) is a device that is part of the Handheld PC category with which the Windows® CE operating system programmed and can be loaded and which can run supervisory programs that control or simply monitor a productive process. It can send commands using con-figured by the user; it can send data determining the process on hand and can display information deriving from the productive process. The informa-tion can be in the form of an Alarm, an Information (Info-) Message or in binary data format.

The VTCEs can be divided into two groups: those with a keyboard and those without but equipped with a Touch Screen.

All VTCEs can be supplemented with accessories to boost and broaden their performance, for example, by using the CIB board a connection can be made to a CAN network and/or to over 90% of devices on the market that are supported by ESA.

To operate the VTCE a project needs to be created (using supervisory or similar programs) that must be loaded into the VTCE (see “Chapter 13 -> Software compatibility“).

For detailed information on individual VTCEs see the relevant chapters below.

A characteristic of VTCE terminals is to have startup time of up to 30 seconds from switching on.

While in the startup phase the display remains inactive and there is nothing to be seen.

CHAPTER 1General information on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003

Electronic devices are being increasingly used in automated systems. pro-grammable controllers (like the PLC) belong to this category, as do Man-machine-interface systems (e.g. the CE Video Terminal), control sys-tems (e.g. diagnostic terminals), interface elements (e.g. interface boards) and AC-DC drives. Together with this type of electronic apparatus, you find installed classical electro-mechanical devices like contactors, elec-tro-valves, motors etc.Electrical disturbances caused by the operation of these devices can com-promise the smooth functioning and the length of the working life of the electronic devices present on the same switchboard or the same plant. To get the best out of both the electrical and the electronic devices it is neces-sary to reduce electrical disturbance.

Laying cables Remember to lay measurement, monitoring and communication cables so that they are kept apart from power cables. Power cables laid close and par-allel to communication cables can cause coupling voltages that are strong enough to disturb or destroy electronic components.

Shielding of cables

It is essential to use suitably shielded cables for communication signal con-nections (total shielding is recommended). The shielding must be con-nected to the zero potential.

Earthing of shielding and electronic circuits

With many devices the "0V" is connected to the earth. The signal ground must be earthed but it is best to separate the ground of the shields and cir-cuits from that of the power circuits. Note that the earth can only perform its function if the "Resistance of the earth circuit" is within the max. limits prescribed.

Switching of capacitive loads

The current peaks which occur when capacitive loads are switched on can damage or destroy control devices. Furthermore, the high-frequency com-ponent of the current peak can cause serious disturbance in electronic cir-cuits as a result of inductive coupling between the connection cables.

Switching off inductive loads

When an inductive load is switched off, the magnetic energy stored tends to oppose this, discharging a voltage peak down the line which can damage or destroy the control device. Furthermore, the high-frequency component of the voltage peak can cause disturbance caused by capacitive coupling between the connection cables. The physical structure and characteristics of an inductive load make it impossible to carry out switching without disturbance unless suitable mea-sures are taken. The disturbance can be at least partially suppressed by fit-ting a suitable disturbance-suppression module in parallel with the inductive load. The disturbance-suppression module must not constitute an additional load during the work phase. Electrical disturbance is propagated both through the connection cables and electromagnetic transmission. If the disturbance is propagated by cable or electromagnetic transmission, it is much more difficult to suppress at the inputs to the units in the danger zone than it is to suppress the disturbance at its source. If the disturbance is cre-

405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003

1-3

ated by connection cables or by electronic transmission, it is much more difficult to suppress it at the inputs of the devices in dangerous areas than at source,

If possible, disturbance should be suppressed at source.

Disturbance suppression circuit - RC and DIODE

In the following tables there are the specifications of the disturbance sup-pression filter ciruits.

Table 1.1: Disturbance suppression circuit RC

Circuit Advantages Disadvantages

The residual component has a very low harmonic wave form component.

The best results are obtained by sizing the R/C suitably.

The residual overvoltage can be limited to the very low values by optimizing the sizing.

Volume directly proportional to the inductance and power of the load.

Switch-off time delay very low.Optimal suppression is obtained as a direct consequence of a significant de-energizing delay.

The effectiveness of the disturbance suppression is not affected by the volt-age value. No switch-on delay.

The presence of the capacitor causes a high load current peak when switching on (and can cause pasting of the con-tact if undersized).

Suitable for both AC and DC; no prob-lem with reversed polarity.

The RC circuit constitutes an additional load when used with AC.

No arc (low energy) on switching con-tact.

--

Table 1.2: Disturbance suppression circuit DIODE

Circuit Advantages Disadvantages

Very compact. High switch-off delay time.

No residual voltage (total damping of disturbance impulse).

For direct current (DC) applications only.

Easy to size. Polarity must be respected.

--Switch-off delay can lead to the forma-tion of a strong electric arc.

--Sensitive to disturbance voltage pulses in power supply circuit.

Use a 24VDC (18..32Vdc) power supply unit to power the VTCE.

Connection pins

Check all connections before switching on.

Recommended connection

We recommend a wiring scheme as set out below in the interests of avoid-ing damaging the VTCE.

Correct earthing is essential.

Connections to be avoided

The connections illustrated below must not be made as they may cause the VTCE to be damaged.

The above configurations will seriously damage certain compo-nents of the VTCE.

Beware of appliances with the POSITIVE connected to PE.

It is vital that the earth of the devices connected to the serial and/or parallel communication ports have the same voltage as the

0V supply of the VTCE. The circulation of current between the 0V sup-ply and the earth of the communication ports could damage certain components of the VTCE or of the devices connected it.

Calibration of Touch Screen

The screen of VT585CE is made of resistive, sensitive glass; fot this type of glass to work properly it requires a calibration procedure (the terminal is already calibrated when supplied), that is, the resistive area of the glass has to be adjusted to the visible are of the display.

Should it be thought necessary to repeat the calibration procedure this can be done by following the instructions set out below.

The procedure must be carried out with great care as the preci-sion ofthe keys area depends on the callibration.


405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003

VTCE terminals are supplied with labels already set in the appropriate spaces.

If it is necessary to customize keys, the logo or the model the labels can be replaced with the neutral ones supplied in kit with the terminal (only for F-keys) or by inserting labels of other materials provided they conform with the points set out below.

Failure to follow the following indications may cause damage to the terminal.

Label The label must be of a material that is flexible and does not exceed 125µm (micrometers).

Use neither stiff materials nor glues.

Warnings Before starting to insert the customized label the following points MUST BE observed:

• Remove the label already inserted.• Follow the indications set out in the paragraph Label.• Do not use compressed air to help insert the label. • Do not use rigid or other instruments to insert the label.• Do not fold the label between the terminal and the casing. The following

figures illustrate the correct and the incorrect positions for the label.

Correct insertion:

The label illustrated is free and creates no tension on the keyboard.

INCORRECT insertion which could cause compromised adhesion:

The labels illustrated generate pressure that over time could cause the keyboard to scollare.

• The oversize part of the label must go under the back cover or in the appropriate fixing points (the choice is determined by the type of VTCE being used).

Notes Here are some tips to make it easier to insert the label:

• Round off the corners.

• If there seems to be some resistance pull the label out and reinsert it.• If more than one label is used, insert them all at the same time.

Take care not to exceed the total thickness permitted (see Page 6-2 -> Label).

• Do not bend the label at right angles and/or do not bend them so sharply that they might be damaged.

• Slightly bend the label lengthwise to make it stiffer.

All VTCEs communicate with other devices by means of serial and/or par-allel communication ports. We list on the following page the individual ports with the respective type of communication and the function of the connection pins.

General notes Serial communication is particularly prone to disturbances. To limit the influ-ence of these disturbances it is necessary to use good quality shielded cables.

The table immediately below lists the characteristics of the cable we recom-mend for serial connection.

Particular care should be taken in the choice and lay-out of cables, specially with regard to the VTCE <-> Device connection serial cable.

Always:• Find the shortest route• Lay disturbed cables separately

Disconnect the power supply before connecting or disconnecting the communication cables so as to avoid possible damage to the

VTCE and/or the connected device.

Cell battery The function of the battery is to keep the internal clock, the calibration of the Touch Screen (in the case of terminals that have one) and the setting of the address of the network’s IP when there is no power supply.

The battery should be replaced about every 36 months.

• The battery needs to be changed either when the Battery LED (on the VT keyboard) comes on. Failure to change the battery will lead to the con-tents of the data memory being lost.

In the case of products with a Touch Screen, the running down and/or absence of the battery is not indicated on the screen.

• The battery must be substituted with the VT power off.

Discarded batteries should be placed in appropriate containers.

Procedure for inserting or substituting the battery:

• Check that the power supply is not connected.• Take off the hatch covering the battery compartment of the VT.• Insert the new battery checking that the polarities are correct.• Replace the hatch covering the battery compartment of the VT.• Reconnect the power supply.

CHAPTER 10Basic concepts

405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003

10-2

This chapter limits itself to introducing some simple but basic concepts to help first-time users of VTCE terminals.

Windows® CE is a standard operating system and as such none of its operational procedures and concepts have been determined by

ESA elettronica.

RAM The RAM memory is used by the system to run programs, calculations and whatever else is needed for the system to operate properly; furthermore, it is used for saving (whether manually or following the installation of an application package) all files loaded by the user.

The RAM memory is not buffered by a battery.

When the terminal is switched off all the information it contains is can-celled, including the files and programs. If it is necessary to keep the files after switching off, these must be moved to/put in a Flash Disk.

Flash Disk VTCE terminals have no hard disk but rather use a flash disk and handle this like a solid state hard disk. The files that have been loaded or the appli-cation packages that have to be kept permanently even after switching off the terminal must be placed in the folder My Computer\FlashDisk in the main root or in a sub-folder.

The FlashDisk is managed so as to guarantee the security of the data; this means that even when there is no power, the data being written at that moment will be saved.

Storage Card This is an external device (the PCMCIA is card not supplied by ESA, its supply is the responsibility of the user) that is inserted in the terminal and is used to increase the capacity of its (permanent) memory. Once the card has been inserted the system will automatically display a system folder called My Computer\Storage Card. The files that have been loaded or the applica-tion packages that have to be kept permanently even after switching off the terminal can be placed in the folder in the main root or in a sub-folder.

The card can be inserted without switching the terminal off.

Saving the Registry

As indicated earlier, the VTCE terminal uses non-permanent memory, thus, with the exception of the initial settings given by ESA, all the settings are lost when the terminal is switched off.

405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003

10-3

The saving of the configuration register (Registry) enables the settings to be saved in the permanent memory area.

The configuration register must be saved every time there is a change of parameters, for example, following a network setting, a remote connection or the installation of an application, etc.

You are advised to carry out a “save” after each installation or each time settings are changed.

To activate this function, click on Start > Programs >

Windows Explorer or double-click on (My Computer) on the Desktop

of the terminal. Double-click on Windows, then double-click on

(Regedit). Alternatively double-click on (Regedit) on the Desktop of the terminal.

Once the saving phase has finished click on to close the window.

The saving procedure may require a few seconds.

Click on the Write.

Calibrating the Touch Screen

The VT5xxCE terminal is supplied already calibrated and operational; should it be thought necessary to repeat the calibration procedure, this can be done using the appropriate software function or it is so far out that the function cannot be activated, the calibration can be forced by using a hard-ware jumper (see Page 4-9 or Page 5-9).

To activate the function click on Start > Settings > Control Panel, then

double-click on (Stylus).

Then follow the instructions on screen. Once the calibration has been com-

pleted click on to accept the changes and close the window.

Proceed to save the configuration register if you want the settings to be made permanent (see “Chapter 10 -> Saving the Registry“).

Then browse the to click on Calibration.

Click on the Recalibrate.

Enabling com-munication with remote terminals

To make it possible for the terminal to be connected to a PC or a remote ter-minal it is necessary to assign a name that identifies it unambiguously. The terminal is supplied with a name defined by ESA but this has to be changed for it to work properly.

To activate the function click on the Start > Settings > Control Panel,

then double-click on (Communic..).


Enter the required name in the Device Name field.

Assign the description too, entering it in the Device Description field.

Direct PC / VTCE connec-tion using Ethernet

This type of connection makes it possible for the PC and VTCE to exchange files simply and rapidly using Windows Explorer on the CE ter-minal. The connection utilizes the Server and Client mechanism, so it is necessary for the PC (which becomes the Server) to share its folder or fold-ers to be put at the disposal of the VTCE terminal (which becomes the Cli-ent).

For more on the folder sharing procedure see the on-line manual of the operative system installed.

The direct connection must be made by means of a crossover Ethernet net-work cable (for details on the cable see “Chapter 9 -> VTCE video terminal accessories“).

Once the physical connection has been made proceed to set the parameters as follows.

Making the connection between PC and VTCE:

Install Active Sync (by following the instructions on-screen) on the PC to be connected to the VTCE.

Even if there is no explicit request when the installation is over we advise you to disconnect the serial cable and restart the PC; once

it has restarted, reconnect the serial cable and try connecting with the VTCE terminal.

Once the installation has finished, and after setting the communication parameters on the PC, establish the connection.

While the program is searching for the logical connection, go to the VTCE and click on the Start > Programs > Windows Explorer or double-click

on (My Computer) on the Desktop of the terminal. Double-click on the

Windows, then double-click on (Replog). A connection window is displayed which then closes automatically when the connection is estab-lished.

The PC displays the request “establish a relationship”, answer NO and click the Next; the terminal is seen by the PC as a “Guest”, at this point close the window that is being displayed.

The VTCE is recognized by the PC by means of “Explore Resources” as “Portable device”: files can be transferred and installations carried out on the VTCE terminal.

The connection can only be made using COM, other communica-tion ports (USB, Ethernet, etc.) cannot be used and so we advise

you to deactivate them.

Automatic execution of applications

When in the start phase VTCE terminal calls for an automatic execution procedure for the applications.

To do this create a on the VTCE terminal; this must be called Flash-Disk\ESA\Startup.

The name and path of the folder MUST be precisely as set out above, otherwise the files will not be found.

To create the new folder click on Start > Programs > Windows Explorer

or double click on (My Computer) on the Desktop of the terminal. Dou-ble click on the FlashDisk then click on File > New Folder.

Once the above-mentioned folder has been created you can proceed in two ways:

• Load .EXE file

Just copy the .exe file of the application directly into the previously created . To copy or move the files, see, if necessary Pag. 11-4 -> “Direct PC / VTCE connection using Ethernet“ or Pag. 11-10 -> “Connection in Ethernet“ or Pag. 11-14 -> “PC / VTCE connection using serial port“.

• The .ESA file is created and loaded

Should it be possible directly to use the executable file, proceed by creating a text file called Startup.esa putting into it the complete path of where the execurable file can be found and , if necessary, the parameters requested by the .exe file. Only one executable file is required for every row.

Example.

\FlashDisk\Demo\Demo.exe \FlashDisk\Demo\Project.prj\FlashDisk\Myfolder\Myfile.exe

The name of the file MUST be Startup.esa otherwise it will not be found.

Only invocations for .EXE files and any parameters can be added.

If the file is edited outside the VTCE terminal, it must be saved as “Unicode text document”.


405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003

11-20

To see this folder click on the Start > Programs > Windows Explorer or

double-click on (My Computer) on the Desktop of the terminal. Dou-ble-click on the FlashDisk and then double-click on the Esa. Finally double-click on the Startup.

If there is more than one file in the Startup folder, these will be executed in the order: first the .EXE files and then the .ESA ones.

11-21

Managing the Fonts

The VTCE terminal is supplied with a series of font already installed. If the user so desires, other fonts of the “True Type” type can be loaded.

To do this, create a on the VTCE terminal and call it Flash-Disk\ESA\Fonts.

The name of the folder and the path MUST be exactly as set out above, otherwise new fonts will not be found.

To create the new folder click on Start > Programs > Windows Explorer

or double click on (My Computer) on the Desktop of the terminal. Dou-ble click on the FlashDisk then click on File > New Folder.

At this point, all that needs to be done is choose from among the fonts loa-ded on a normal PC and copy them onto VTCE into the previously created

. To copy or move the files, see, if necessary Pag. 11-4 -> “Direct PC / VTCE connection using Ethernet“ or Pag. 11-10 -> “Connection in Ether-net“ or Pag. 11-14 -> “PC / VTCE connection using serial port“.

To see this folder click on the Start > Programs > Windows Explorer or

double-click on (My Computer) on the Desktop of the terminal. Dou-ble-click on the FlashDisk and then double-click on the Esa. Finally double-click on the Fonts.

CHAPTER 12Resistance to chemical substances

405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003

12-2

All our VTCEs are built to withstand the effects of the more common chemical substances encountered in industrial and non-industrial environ-ments. Each element of the VTCE that could be exposed to these sub-stances (epoxy coating, keyboard membrane, screen surface, touch screen and gaskets), is tested to determine its degree of resistence.

The type of test is not the same for each component but changes according to the testing authority. Below is an example of a test (carried out by Alca-tel Bell).

The test procedure was as follows:

A 2 cm ball of cotton wool was immersed in the test substance and then placed on the keyboard. Two cotton wool balls with different substances were placed separately on each keyboard; this was then put in a Petri dish and kept at a temperature of 25°C for an hour; after this, the keyboard was washed in water and dried.

The keyboard was observed and the results classified as follows:• A - No visible deterioration• B - Very slight deterioration• C - Some deterioration• D - Gross damage visible

The substances not appearing in the table were not tested, so there is no information regarding their effect.

Chemical substances

The table shown below lists all the substances used for the test with their various results.

The table must nevertheless be considered an approximate guide regard chemical substances: no tests have been carried out on a

completely assembled terminal.

This chapter deals EXCLUSIVELY with the settings and procedures nec-essary for using a Movicon project in Windows CE.

A knowledge of Movicon is indispensable in order to be able to fol-low this chapter. Without this, it is better to turn to the documen-

tation coming from the producer or the Progea Technical Assistance.

Installation The installation procedure is divided in two parts: the first consists in the installation of the basic version of Movicon, after which the update Movi-con CE is installed, which allows you to create projects for VTCE terminals (see also “Chapter 13 -> Software compatibility“).

What is set out below may be modified by Progea at any point with ESA knowing, consequently the installation procedure

described here may include some imprecision as to details.

If problems of installation are encountered or clarifications regarding the installation procedure are required, it is better to

turn to the documentation coming from the producer or the Progea Technical Assistance.

Put the Cd-Rom into the appropriate drive; if the PC’s “automatic loading notification” has been activated, the Movicon presentation will start auto-matically, if not, click on Start > Run…

Digit e:\Setup.exe and confirm with OK.

If the drive to be used is not “e:”, digit the appropriate letter.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

It is recommended that “Normal Installation” be selected for the installation phase.

Once Movicon has been installed, proceed with the Movicon CE update.

Proceed as for the preceding point: if it does not start automatically click on Start > Run… and digit e:\Setup.exe then confirm with OK.

Start the installation following the on-screen instructions and taking care to set the following parameters as set out below:

• Select Device -> Handheld PC2000• Select Language -> As desidered• Select Components -> All (Recommended)• Select Communications -> All (Recommended)• Select Processor type -> Other processor (ARM, SHx, x86)

Close installation in line with the instructions.

If there is a serial cable connection between the PC and the VTCE and a connection has been established using Microsoft Active Sync (see “Chapter 11 -> Using the system“), Movicon will automatically install the files needed for handling the project. If this is not the case, the transfer to the VTCE can be carried out manually later (see Page 14-3 -> “Transferring Movicon files to a VTCE“).

The project A project can be created without having a VTCE available.

A knowledge of Movicon is indispensable in order to be able to fol-low this chapter. Without this, it is better to turn to the documen-

tation coming from the producer or the Progea Technical Assistance

Settings for projects for Windows CE

There are no special procedures and/or settings for creating a project work-ing on a VTCE terminal. You need only to keep in mind CE’s limitations. For a more detailed description, see Movicon’s on-line Guide.

Transferring Movicon files to a VTCE

The next step is to transfer all the files necessary for Movicon to handle the project on the VTCE terminal.

Before starting, check that there is a Serial connection between the PC and the VTCE (see “Chapter 11 -> Using the system“).

Use a serial cable connection and establish the connection by means of Microsoft Active Sync (see “Chapter 11 -> Using the sys-

tem“).

The file transfer masks are displayed; follow the on-screen instructions.

Note:• The destination path depends on the type of support that is to take the

project:

• Hard disk -> \FlashDisk\My path\• PCMCIA -> \Storage Card\My path\

Other paths are possible, but when the VTCE terminal is switched off all the data is lost (see “Chapter 10 -> Basic con-

cepts“).

Sometimes, for reasons not attributable to ESA, the processor in the terminals is not recognized by Movicon. When this happens

contact the Progea Technical Assistance.

Transferring a project to a VTCE

Now the project is transferred.

Before starting, check that there is a Serial connection between the PC and the VTCE (see “Chapter 11 -> Using the system“).

Use a serial cable connection and establish the connection by means of Microsoft Active Sync (see “Chapter 11 -> Using the sys-

tem“).

switched off all the data is lost (see “Chapter 10 -> Basic con-cepts“).

• The final destination is the same as the source.

For example. Suppose we wish the transfer to be onto FlashDisk:

Path on PC -> C:\Programs\Progea\My projectPath on VTCE -> \FlashDisk\Programs\Progea\My project

To activate the project, double-click on the file MovCE.exe (see Page 14-3 -> “Transferring Movicon files to a VTCE“ for the path; a mask for choos-ing the project to be run is displayed.

The first time you try to connect a mask appears for entering the “Site Key” for which Progea must be asked. Should you not yet be in possession of this code, the project can be run in DEMO mode (a message appears indicating the type of mode).

If you want the project to be activated automatically on switching on the ter-minal, you will have to introduce the file Startup.esa and compile it as follows (see also “Chapter 11 -> Automatic execution of applications“).

\FlashDisk\My path\MovCe.exe \FlashDisk\My path\My project.prj

where My path must be replaced with the complete path of where the respective files are to be found. For example:

\FlashDisk\Movicon\MovCe.exe\FlashDisk\My project\My project.prj

Search the folders until you find the project to be run.

Select the desired.

Click on OK.

Compile using the code supplied by Progea.

Installation The installation procedure is divided in two parts: the first consists in the installation of the basic version of ZenOn, after which the updated ZenOn CE is installed, which allows you to create projects for VTCE terminals (see also “Chapter 13 -> Software compatibility“).

What is set out below may be modified by COPA-DATA at any point with ESA knowing, consequently the installation procedure

described here may include some imprecision as to details.

If problems of installation are encountered or clarifications regarding the installation procedure are required, it is better to

turn to the documentation coming from the producer or the COPA-DATA Technical Assistance.

Put the Cd-Rom into the appropriate drive; if the PC’s “automatic loading notification” has been activated, the ZenOn presentation will start automat-ically, if not, click on Start > Run…

Digit e:\Setup.bat and confirm with OK.

If the drive to be used is not “e:”, digit the appropriate letter.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

It is recommended that “Complete Installation” be selected for the installation phase.

Once the ZenOn installation has been completed, proceed with the ZenOn CE update.

Proceed as for the preceding point; if it does not start automatically click on Start > Run… and digit e:\zenOn_CE_Setup.exe then confirm with OK.

Again follow the on-screen instructions.

The ZenOn CE destination folder must be the same as that in which ZenOn has been installed.

The project As already mentioned, the projects can be created work both with and with-out a CIB board. The configuration mode changes slightly depending on the type of project that you wish to create. Consequently there is an explicit indication of those operations to be carried out only when there is a CIB board. Where there is no such specification, the operations should consid-ered as common to both types of project.

A project can be created without having a VTCE available.

A knowledge of ZenOn is indispensable in order to be able to follow this chapter. Without this, it is better to turn to the documentation

coming from the producer or the COPA-DATA Technical Assistance.

• The destination path depends on the support you want your project to be on:


Other paths are possible, but all data is lost when the VTCE terminal is switched off (see “Chapter 10 -> Basic concepts“).

• It is sufficient to set the principal path and all the subfolders of the project will adopt the same path as their destination.

Choosing the device to connect to the VTCE

Transfer of ZenOn files to VTCE terminal

To transfer projects, ZenOn uses a program (SysSrvCE.exe) that must be installed on the VTCE terminal which functions as a server for the trans-mission. The first time you transfer the server is activated automatically. Thereafter, every time you need to establish a communication between ZenOn and the VTCE terminal you need to activate the server manually by double-clicking on the file.

Before continuing check that there is a Serial and/or Ethernet connection (see “Chapter 11 -> Using the system“) between PC and VTCE.

The first time you transfer the project it is INDISPENSABLE to use the serial cable connection and to have established the connec-

tion by means of Microsoft Active Sync (see “Chapter 11 -> Using the system“).

Click on the Options > CE Runtime Update

Select the Source.

Certain parameters must be set: these relate to the VTCE terminal connected.

Select as in the figure.

Then select the Options.


405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003

15-12

From the Launch click on the Process. Then follow the on-line instruc-tions.

Once the transfer has been completed, exit by clicking on the Save & Exit.

Sometimes, for reasons not attributable to ESA, the processor that has been mounted on the terminal is not recognized by ZenOn,

consequently every time the message “Processor: UNKNOWN” is dis-played in the transfer mask, the operations carried put in the Sources must be repeated.

If everything works well the VTCE terminal will show a mask like that below.

Transferring a project to the VTCE terminal

When all the files ZenOn needs to manage the project on the VTCE termi-nal have been transferred the remote connection can be activated.

Click on and the mask shown below is displayed. It can be used to define a protection password to stop unauthorized users from elaborating a project.

1) Set the language wanted in display.

2) Set the parameters for Ethernet or Serial transmission (see Page 15-4 -> “Note:“).

3) Set as in figure, entering the path you want (see Page 15-4 -> “Note:“).

Select path then the Launch.

The first time the connection is attempted, a mask appears for entering the “Series number” that must be requested from COPA-DATA.

If the codes are correct and the remote communication is active, the toolbar for transferring to the terminal comes on.

Proceed with generating the runtime files that have to be transferred to the

VTCE terminal. Click on . The “Issue window” shows the files gener-ated.

Proceed now to the transfer of the project files. Click on . The “Issue window” shows the files transported.

Click on to set the project that must be remotely activated.

If the project requires the use of a CIB board, before activating the project on the VTCE check that:

• the OPC Server library has been installed and registered (see CIB board manual).

• the files generated by CIBWIN have been introduced (see CIB board manual).

Enter the password desired.

Click on OK.

Compile using the codes supplied by COPA-DATA.

Click on OK.

1) Remote transport NOT active.

2) Remote transport active.

Once the above points have been checked (only in the case of the CIB board) proceed with activating the project.

Click on to activate the remote project.

Click on to deactivate the remote project.

To activate the project without being connected with ZenOn you must dou-ble-click on the file ZenOnRCE.exe situated in the project installation folder.

If you want the switching on of the terminal automatically to activate the project, you need to introduce the file Startup.esa and compile it as below (see also “Chapter 11 -> Automatic execution of applications“).

\My path\ZENONRCE.exe

Where My path must be substituted with the complete path with which the project may be found, for example:

\FlashDisk\Zenon\My project\ZENONRCE.exe
