PanelMate

ePro PS Family User Manual

The PanelMate ePro PS Classic operator interface is designed for use by end-users that are currently using the PanelMate Power Pro software and are ready for the new PanelMate ePro PS hardware but are not quite ready to convert their PanelMate Power Pro conﬁgurations to Canvas applications. Since the PanelMate ePro PS Classic OI supports the PanelMate Power Pro and PanelMate ePro PS Runtime software, the user can utilize the PanelMate ePro PS Runtime software if and when they are ready.

The ePro PS Classic OI is based on the PanelMate ePro PS hardware models with the addition of software and licenses that allow users to run the PanelMate Power Pro Runtime software in addition to the three application kits (Document Viewer, Headline Manager and Recipe Manager). The ePro PS Classic OI can be thought of as a combination of the PanelMate ePro PS and the PanelMate ePro with the XE (without Trending) and the OPC options. One difference is in the area of drivers: the ePro PS Classic OI running PanelMate Power Pro conﬁgurations does not support native (non-OPC) communication drivers but does support up to three OPC drivers simultaneously.

Carefully remove all equipment from the packing cartons and inspect all parts for damage in shipment. Check packing cartons for all items shown on the packing list. Keep the cartons and packing materials for future shipment.

If there is equipment damage due to shipment, report the damage to the carrier who delivered the equipment.

Note: The Interstate Commerce Commission has a time limit on reporting concealed

PanelMate® ePro PS Family User Manual

Protect Mode

The PanelMate ePro PS family of products has a unique and exclusive Protect Mode feature that safeguards the integrity of ﬁles stored on the C:\ partition of your operating system. This feature ensures that data and operating system ﬁles cannot be modiﬁed by anyone or corrupted by unexpected power disruptions. As a result, you can be conﬁdent that the ePro PS meets your rigorous industrial environmental requirements and can be protected against all unauthorized alterations.

The Protect Mode is always active on your ePro PS unit. As changes are made to data and ﬁles they appear to be saved but in reality they are saved in volatile memory. This means that when the ePro PS is restarted, all of the changes will be deleted from memory and the last information saved in the C:\ partition will be used. With this in mind, all changes made that are to be stored in the C:\ partition must be saved or committed so that the next time the ePro PS is restarted the new data will be available. Types of data stored on the C:\ partition include the ePro PS Runtime software, communications drivers, OPC server, time/date data and touchscreen calibration data.

Notes:

● The D:\ partition is reserved for user data and is not protected by the Protect Mode

feature. Data and program ﬁles can be easily added, modiﬁed and deleted in this storage area. On the Enterprise Edition models the D:\ partition is a separate drive located in the External CompactFlash port of the unit. On all other models it is a partition on the internal ﬂash drive along with the C:\ partition.

March 2008

● If extensive changes are made to the C:\ partition without a subsequent reset or

execution of the Protect Mode Save, volatile memory may become full resulting in system errors.

Refer to Protect Mode Save Program on Page 3-5 for additional information about saving ﬁles to the C:\ partition.

Windows XP Embedded (XPE)

PanelMate ePro PS uses Windows XPE, which is a subset of Windows XP Professional. XPE enables PanelMate ePro PS unit’s operating system (OS) to be customized. As a result, unneeded OS components have been eliminated resulting in a smaller, streamlined, and efﬁcient system. Because XPE allows us to protect the OS from unwanted software changes, we can make your ePro PS unit reliable for industrial applications, whereas an open XP operating system is susceptible to lockups from OS ﬁle corruption. The Enterprise Edition models include virtually all Windows XP services and features so that it is compatible with virtually all 3rd party software packages.

Image Loads

Each PanelMate ePro PS model has an image load that is installed prior to shipment. The image load contains the OS and other ﬁles dependent on the model type. If desired, the image load can be restored to the current factory image load by using a Restore Kit accessory. The image load for Enterprise Edition models is different from the one used for Standard, Outdoor and Classic models. When restoring an image load it is important that the correct load is installed to maintain the integrity of the hardware.

Restore Kits include the following:

● 76MLPS Image Load for PanelMate ePro PS, Outdoor and Classic models

● 76MLEE Image Load for PanelMate ePro PS Enterprise Edition models

Preloaded Software

The ePro PS models all come with preloaded Eaton software and software licensing.

All ePro PS models come with the following:

● PanelMate ePro PS Runtime software Not installed Pre-licensed

● KEPServer_ePro OPC Server Pre-installed Pre-licensed

PanelMate® ePro PS Family User Manual

PanelMate ePro PS Classic

The ePro PS Classic includes additional ﬁles that support PanelMate Power Pro applications.

The ePro PS Classic models include the following:

● PanelMate PC Runtime software Pre-installed Pre-licensed

● Document Viewer Not installed Pre-licensed

● Headline Manager Not installed Pre-licensed

● Recipe Manager Not installed Pre-licensed

● PMStart.cmd command ﬁle Pre-installed No licensing required

Notes:

The unit is shipped so that when powering up for the ﬁrst time the PanelMate Power Pro Document Viewer demo conﬁguration (DVDemo.pps) will be launched via the PMStart.cmd command ﬁle.

The ePro PS Classic has been pre-conﬁgured so that the PanelMate PC Runtime software runs in 256 colors compatibility mode so that regardless of the native color resolution of the unit, PanelMate’s 256 color palette will still function properly. If you decide to use the PanelMate ePro PS Classic hardware for PanelMate ePro PS Runtime applications you will not have to change the color resolution of the unit. The PanelMate PC Runtime software is also set for VGA compatibility so that when the PanelMate PC application launches the displays convert to run full screen at 640x480 resolution and return to native resolution when it closes. All ePro PS Classic models have a minimum resolution of 800x600, so that when used to run Canvas runtime applications instead of PanelMate PC runtime applications they may run at their higher native resolution without the need to alter the display properties.

PanelMate® ePro PS Family User Manual

Use an Isolated Power Supply

AC to DC power supplies are typically isolated while DC to DC power supplies are often nonisolated. Check the power supply speciﬁcations to ensure that the power supply is fully isolated. If used in a Class I, Div 2 environment, then the external power supply must be appropriately rated.

Use Single Point Grounding

The external power supply and the PanelMate ePro PS unit should be grounded to the same point. Single point grounding should be practiced even when the devices are located in separate enclosures to help prevent ground loop issues.

Install a Power Supply Solely for the PanelMate ePro PS

If the current external power supply is used for multiple devices, add an external power supply speciﬁcally for the PanelMate ePro PS unit. A separate external power supply will better protect against system transients and ground potential issues. If used in a Class I, Div 2 environment, the external power supply must be appropriately rated.

Use a Current-Limiting Power Supply

The external power supply should not be able to source more than ﬁve amps. If used in a Class I, Div 2 environment, the external power supply must be appropriately rated.

Add Circuit Breakers

Install circuit breakers (Cutler-Hammer Catalog Number WMS2C04) on both the supply and return paths between the PanelMate and the external power supply to protect against current swells on the return path. The circuit breakers should be rated for ten amps.

Preparing Your ePro PS Unit for Online Use

You may ﬁnd it useful during the initial preparation of the ePro PS unit, to connect both a USB keyboard and mouse to the unit. After powering up the ePro PS user interface, you can connect to it in order to do one or more of the following:

● Install the latest Canvas Runtime software (included on the Canvas Software CD-ROM)

● Install an OPC driver (included on the Canvas Software CD-ROM)

● Download a Canvas conﬁguration (created using Canvas software)

● Download a PanelMate Power Pro conﬁguration (PanelMate ePro PS Classic users

only)

Refer to Preparing Your ePro PS for File Transfers on Page 2-6 and Installing Software on

Page 2-11 for additional information.

Note: PanelMate ePro PS models are pre-licensed to run with the Kepware OPC server and

drivers. The Kepware OPC server is preinstalled and conﬁgured for optimum performance. For Canvas applications to run correctly online, it is necessary that the OPC drivers are installed or downloaded to the PS unit. Refer to Installing New OPC Server and Drivers on Page 2-12 for additional information.
