 For adequate ventilation, allow at least 3 inches of space between adjacent

equipment and all sides of the QuickPanel. Ensure that specified conditions
of temperature and humidity are not exceeded.

 In outdoor applications, direct sun exposure may impose increased thermal

loads on the QuickPanel leading to excessive temperature rises. Cabinet
design and orientation must be carefully considered to avoid exceeding the
operational temperature limits. These considerations could include shading
for the QuickPanel and its cabinet with awnings or other solar opaq ue
materials, avoiding a due East or West facing of the cabinet, ventilation or
active cooling of the cabinet, or other methods.

The unit will not fit through this cutout with any cables connected, or with the
power supply plug inserted in the socket. To secure the QuickPanel View to a
panel, use the four included mounting brackets. They hook into opening s
located on the top and bottom of the housing.

GFK-2327B Chapter 1 Welcome 1-7

To Mount the QuickPanel View in a Panel

1. Verify that the gasket is properly seated in the bezel channel, then insert the
unit into the panel cutout.

2. Insert the hook of each mounting bracket in the housing openings as shown
below.

3. Firmly tighten the screws.
Note: The torque range for the mounting bracket screws is 2.6-4.4 inch/lbs

(0.3–0.5 Nm).

The mounting clamps hold the unit in place by tension. No drilling is required.

Do not damage the gasket attached to the back of the QuickPanel. This gasket
prevents shock hazards and damage caused by liquids accidentally entering
the unit after installation.

Also, limit the number of times you remove and reinstall the unit. Too many
installations may cause gasket “set” and degradation of the seal.

QuickPanel View Software

Windows CE.NET

Microsoft Windows CE.NET is the operating system for the QuickPanel View. It
is a full 32-bit O/S with a graphical user interface. This operating system is
finding widespread application in hand-held PCs and embed ded HMI’s, such as
the QuickPanel View. From a user’s perspective, the familiar look and feel of
the Windows CE environment shortens the learning curve for those having
experience with Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP. From the software
developer’s perspective, the CE environment is a subset of the WIN32
application programming interface, simplifying the porting of existing software
from other versions of Windows. The QuickPanel View operating system is
stored in a 10 MB block of FLASH memory and executes directly from flash.
The operating system also uses a small portion of RAM. The operating system
starts automatically following a power-up or reset of the QuickPanel View.

HTTP File Transfer Utility

The HTTP File Transfer Utility (HFTU) is a small, standalone command line
program that allows you to send and delete files to and from computers over a
network. The HFTU uses the HTTP protocol, so you can even send files to
computers over the Internet.

Run the HTTP utility from a command line prompt, from a batch file (.BAT) or
as an application call in a script. The HTTP utility is an executable (.EXE) file
included in the 6" QuickPanel View operating system.

The HTTP utility currently supports two file transfer commands: COPY and
DELETE.

Note: In order to function, the HTTP File Transfer utility requires both

computers to have web servers that support PUT functionality.
(Most web servers support PUT, including the Proficy Machine
Edition web server installed with the runtimes for View and Logic
Developer - PC.) If in doubt, check the documentation for your web
server.

To use the HTTP utility

3. Use the following syntax:

HTTPUTIL COPY source destination

Where “source” is the URL of the source file, and “destination” is the URL of
the destination file. For example:

HTTPUTIL COPY \MyFile.txt http://MyServer/webfiles/MyFileBACKUP.txt

Copies a file called MyFile.txt on drive C: of the local computer to the
webfiles folder under the web server at //MyServer. Note that you can
rename a file as you copy it.

HTTPUTIL DELETE url

Where “url” is the remote URL of the file you want to delete. This URL must
use the “//” or ”HTTP://” syntax. For example:

HTTPUTIL DELETE http://MyServer/webfiles/MyFileBACKUP.txt

Deletes a file called MyFileBACKUP.txt from the webfiles directory under the
web server at HTTP://MyServer.

Serial Communication Port

The QuickPanel View has one serial data communication port, COM1.

COM1- Serial

The COM1 port is a general purpose bidirectional serial data channel that
supports the EIA232C and EIA485 electrical standards. The COM1 port can be
accessed and configured:

 as a direct or dial-up remote networking connection.
 from a user-created application utility.

A connection can be configured to reside on a network supp orting a TCP/IP
protocol.

A DB25S (female) connector, mounted on the bottom of the enclosure,
provides standard signals as described in the followin g table.

1 GND - Frame Ground 14 VCC -5VDC, 0.5A
2 TX - (EIA232C) 15 TXB (EIA485)
3 RX - (EIA232C) 16 RXB (EIA485)
4 RTS - (EIA232C) 17 n/c
5 CTS -(EIA232C) 18 CSB (EIA485)

GFK-2327B Chapter 3 Detailed Operation 3-15

Operating COM1 in EIA-485 Two-Wire Mode

Use of COM1 in EIA-485 two-wire mode requires additional control of the port
to ensure that the transmitter is turned off at the appropriate times to allow
other connected stations to transmit and to avoid collisions of transmissions.
This additional control avoids transmission collision s, which are possible in
two-wire mode because all the transmitters are tied together.

This function is normally carried out by the software driver included as part of
the application software and is not part of the Windows CE operating system.
Those who don't have the appropriate driver or who wish to develop their own
driver, will need to design their software driver to control the port appropriately
in the EIA-485 two-wire mode.

In all QuickPanel View models, the RTS (Request to Send) control signal is
brought out on the COM1 connector but is also conne cted to the dri v er enable
input (active low) of the EIA-485 transceiver device on COM1. When not
transmitting, RTS is de-asserted (turned off) to disable the transmitter and
asserted (turned on) before transmission to enable the transmitter.

The receiver is hardwired to always be enabled. In two-wire mode, the
communication software has to discard any returned message that it receives
while transmitting.

Activating RTS is possible using the standard Windows API for the COM ports
by appropriately setting the Device Control Block (DCB) for the port, then using
the resulting handle to the port to manipulate this signal.

When relying on the Windows API to control RTS, one entire message should
be written to the port at one time, not byte-wise, to ensure that RTS does not
toggle in the middle of a transmitted message.

Recommended Cabling for TIA/EIA422 or TIA/EIA485

The COM1 port on the QuickPanel View provides connections to devices that
support either TIA/EIA422 or TIA/EIA485. These electrical standards specify a
differential signaling technique that provides high data rates, lon g distances and
good noise rejection. The standards do not address signal encoding (protocol),
connectors, or cabling. However, certain characteristics of these devices’
interfaces should be considered to ensure reliable connections.

Connections

Interconnect
media

Termination

Connect nodes in a daisy chain fashion. Do not connect in other
arrangements, especially "star." The standards do not specify the maximum
number of nodes or devices that can be connected to a TIA/EIA 422 or 485
network. Instead, the standards limit the number of electrical connections by
specifying that a maximum of 32 unit loads may be connected. The
QuickPanel View presents one unit load.

Always use twisted pair cabling and group complime ntary signals into
conductor pairs; TXA with TXB, for example. Use a cable with a characteristic
impedance of 100 ohms to 120 ohms. A wire gauge of 24 AWG is commonly
used. Maximum cable length is 4,000' (1,219.2m), but may be less due to
cable impedance, connection quality, data rates, and other factors.

Always provide proper termination at each end of the 422/485 network. The
QuickPanel View provides built-in termination resistance when pin #9
(TRMRXB) is connected to pin #10 (RXA).

Caution: Do not terminate every node. Only terminate the end nodes.

GFK-2327B Chapter 3 Detailed Operation 3-17

Grounding

Shielding

A signal return path between transmitting and receiving devices must be
provided. This return path is separate from the Rx and Tx data lines and the
other 422/485 signals supported by the QuickPanel View, and may be
provided by a separate conductor in the cable. Connect both ends of the
signal return conductor to Signal Ground (pin #7). Shielding or use of a
twisted pair for this connection is not necessary.

For installations where all devices are in the same cabinet and have the same
ground potential between devices, connecting Signal Ground between all the
devices on the 422/485 network is adequate to ensure prop er voltage levels
at the devices.

However, if there is a difference in ground potential between devices, such as
when the devices are in widely separated cabinets, signal grounds on a
422/485 network should not be tied together. The cable shield an d signal
ground should be connected together at only one device, closest to the earth
ground connection.

The signal and frame grounds of the QuickPanel View are capacitively
coupled, but in some devices these ground references are connected
together. Connect Signal Ground (pin #7) to Frame Ground (pin #1) and then
to earth ground on the QuickPanel View only in the circumstance where the
other devices separate their signal and frame grounds and the QuickPane l
View is the only device with frame and signal ground connected to earth
ground.

Shielded cable is required for compliance with CE Mark and FCC
requirements. The cable shield should be connected to the metal connector
shell or by pin 1 of the QuickPanel 25-pin serial connector. Shield and signal
ground (pin 7 of the 25pin connector or pin 5 of the 9-pin serial co nnector)
should not be connected directly together.

Caution

Do not connect Signal Ground (pin #7) to Frame Ground (pin #1) on
the QuickPanel View, except in the specific and limited
circumstances noted in the Grounding section above.

Memory

The QuickPanel View supports a variety of memory subsystems to ensure the
requirements of your application are met. All system memory is tied directly to
the microprocessor’s address and data busses for fastest access.

Flash Memory

This 16 MB block of non-volatile memory is the main long-term program
storage for the QuickPanel View, operating like a virtual hard drive from the
point of view of Windows CE. It is divided into two areas, of which only one is

accessible from Windows CE Explorer. The
represents a 6 MB block of memory available for long-term storage of user
application programs. Another 10MB block is used to store the Windows CE
operating system and is not directly accessible from Windows CE Explorer.

Flash Storage folder

The operating system and all user application programs are transferred from
Flash to DRAM for execution. Any user additions to the

retained in
FLASH memory has a limited write-cycle lifetime. That is, the physical memory

devices wear out after approximately 100,000 cycles (minimum), so it is
advisable to limit file operations such as copy, delete, etc.

The write cycle is much slower for FLASH than it is for other portions of RAM,
therefore FLASH is not recommended for the storage of program variables, or
any data items whose values are dynamic.

Flash Storage when the Backup utility is run.

Windows folder are

Caution

Do not remove power while the system is writing to flash
memory, such as when downloading a Proficy Machine
Edition project. Removing power while writing may lead to
data loss and file system corruption. To ensure the system
completes writing to flash and closes all files, see
“Shutdown” in chapter 1.

3-30 6" QuickPanel* ViewBasic, Monochrome, Round Bezel – September 2010 GFK-2327B

3

DRAM Memory

The QuickPanel View is equipped with approximately 16 MB of dynamic RAM,
which is split between an object store for temporary file storage and the main
memory for running programs.

Typically, compressed programs stored in FLASH are expanded and moved to
DRAM for execution. Temporary storage of program variables or data files is
also provided by DRAM—any data stored in DRAM will not be retained through
a power cycle.

The split between program memory and storage memory may be adjusted as
necessary to make more room for one or the other, depending on your specific
application needs. For example, if you find that an application is short of
memory, use the System Properties dialog box to alter DRAM memory
allocation.

Caution

Setting Program Memory too low may prevent additional
applications from starting, or may cause currently running
applications to fail due to lack of memory. Setting Storage
Memory too low may prevent the saving of files into the
object store portion of the file system, which may also cause
application failures.

The tables contained in this appendix can be used to identify and remedy
problems that can occur with the 6" QuickPanel View

Power up

Problem Suggested remedy

Blank screen

No power: Check all power connections to the
QuickPanel View.

Note: Left LED glows amber when backlight fails.

Physical Unit

Problem Suggested remedy

Slow or sluggish touch
response.

Touch screen does not work
reliably in corners or touch
areas activate just outside their
borders.

GFK-2327B B-

Ensure that configured I/O or communications
channels such as serial or Ethernet are operating
without error. These errors can cause higher system
overhead leading to delayed response to touch
inputs.

Ensure that flash drives, internal or external, are
operating without error. If the flash drives are highly
fragmented or corrupted, reads and writes to the
drive can experience significant delays leading to
delayed response to touch inputs. Corrupted
external flash drives may be corrected with Storage
Manager. See “Storage Manager” in chapter 3.

Touch screen may need recalibration. Select Start,
then Settings, Control Panel, Stylus, and then the
Calibration tab. Follow the on-screen directions.
