GETTING STARTED

Basic Setup

Your QuickPanel View Keypad is shipped ready for use after a few configuration
steps. To power up all you need to do is connect a DC power supply via the
supplied quick-connect plug. Depending on your application, you may also want
to connect and configure optional input devices (see page 28), communications
ports (see page 38) and expansion adapters (see page 49).

Caution - Electrical Shock Hazard: To avoid personal injury or damage to
equipment, ensure that the DC supply is disconnected from power and that the
leads are not energized before attaching them to the unit's power supply plug.

To connect a DC power supply

1. Using the three screw terminals shown in the following diagram, attach a 24VDC, 48W power supply to the plug
supplied with the QuickPanel View Keypad (see specifications on page 61 for conductor size requirements).

2. Insert the plug into the power supply socket and securely tighten the attaching screws.

Note: The torque range for the attaching screws is 4-6 inch/lbs.

Unit Runtime Setup

To download an application to a QuickPanel View Keypad unit, you must set up a
data link between your development workstation and the QuickPanel unit. For
more information, see “Ethernet” (page 45) and look up “Downloading a Machine
Edition Project” in the Proficy Machine Edition online help.

Startup

When you first start up the QuickPanel View Keypad, a few configuration steps are
necessary.

To start the QuickPanel View Keypad

1. Apply DC power to the QuickPanel View.

Once power is applied, the QuickPanel View Keypad begins initializing. The first
thing to appear on the display is the splash screen.

Welcome

Getting Started

2. To skip running any programs included in the StartUp folder, tap Don’t run StartUp programs.

The splash screen disappears automatically after about 5 seconds. The Windows
CE desktop then becomes visible.

3. Tap Start, point to Settings and then tap Control Panel.

4. In the Control Panel, double-tap Display to configure the LCD display (see page 28).

5. In the Control Panel, double-tap Stylus to configure the touch screen (see page 30).

6. In the Control Panel, double-tap Date and Time to configure the system clock (see page 57).

7. In the Control Panel, double-tap System to configure a network machine name (see page 50). Many
applications, including Proficy Historian, require a unique machine name. It is recommended procedure to set a
unique network name for the QuickPanel View to avoid future conflicts.

8. In the Control Panel, double-tap Network and Dial-up Connections to configure network settings (see
page 46).

9. To save the settings, run Backup (see page 16).

Shutdown

There are no specific dangers associated with a power failure or other unplanned
shutdown of the QuickPanel View Keypad. In general, programs are retained in
FLASH memory and user data can be retained in battery-backed SRAM. Some
operating system settings are retained only with user intervention, so in order to
carry out a graceful shutdown of the QuickPanel View Keypad, we recommend
you perform the following procedure.

To shut down the QuickPanel View Keypad

1. Quit any programs that are running and wait for all file operations to complete.

2. If you have not changed operating system settings (e.g., brightness or touch screen sensitivity) or do not want to
save the changes, remove AC power from the 24VDC supply.

3. To save changes to operating system settings (e.g., brightness, touch screen sensitivity), run Backup (see
page 16) and run Reboot (see page 17). When the Windows CE desktop reappears, remove AC power from the
24VDC supply.

Panel Cutout

For enclosure mounting, cut an opening in the panel according to the
specifications given with the following diagram.

Notes:

■

For compliance to NEMA 4, 4x, and 12 qualification, the unit must be mounted
in a comparably NEMA rated (IP56 equivalent) panel or enclosure.

For compliance to ATEX agency qualification, the unit must be mounted in an
IP66 panel or enclosure.

Welcome

Top

Bottom

x 10

RightLeft

Getting Started

For complete integrity to ATEX it is recommended that the minimum panel
thickness be 0.1" (2.54mm).

■

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.

■

To avoid gasket degradation, limit repeated insertions or removals of the unit
and retightening of the mounting clips. For full protection, always use a fresh
gasket. Replacement gaskets may be ordered using part number
IC754ACC12GAS.

■

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 opaque 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 a CF card inserted in the port, with any
cables connected, or with the power supply plug inserted in the socket.

To secure the QuickPanel View Keypad to a panel, use the 10 included mounting
clamps. They hook into openings located on the top, bottom, and sides of the
housing.

To mount the QuickPanel View Keypad in a panel

1. Insert the unit into the panel cutout (without a CF card in the CF port).

2. Insert the hook of each mounting clamp into the housing openings as shown below.

3. Ensure that the gasket is properly seated in the bezel channel and firmly tighten the clamp screws.

Note: The torque range for the mounting clamp screws is 2.6-4.4 inch/lbs

(0.3-0.5 Nm).

Welcome

Getting Started

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

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

Layout Diagram

In addition to the primary touch screen interface, the 6" QuickPanel View Keypad
supports a variety of communication ports including an expansion bus to allow
great flexibility in application. The back of the QuickPanel opens allowing access
to the expansion bus connector, memory expansion connector, DIP switches and
battery. The following diagram shows the physical layout of the QuickPanel View
Keypad and the locations of ports and connections.

Caution: Remove power from the QuickPanel View before opening the back.
Working on a “live” unit may result in damage to equipment and injury to
personnel. Always use anti-static precautions (i.e. grounded wrist strap) when
accessing the interior of the unit. Do not allow conductive material, liquid or solid,
to contact the electronics of the QuickPanel.

The left LED is green when power is applied and amber if both backlights fail;
right LED is tricolor (green, red, or amber) and programmable.

QuickPanel View Keypad Software

QUICKPANEL VIEW KEYPAD SOFTWARE

Windows CE.NET

Microsoft Windows CE.NETTM is the operating system for the QuickPanel View

Keypad. 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 embedded HMIs, such as

the QuickPanel View Keypad. The familiar look and feel of Windows CE shortens

the learning curve for users having experience with Windows

95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP. From a 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 Keypad operating system is stored in an 16 MB block of

FLASH memory and copied to a block of DRAM for execution. The operating

system starts automatically following a power-up or reset of the QuickPanel View

Keypad.

Working with Windows CE

When working with Windows CE on the QuickPanel View Keypad, user input is

achieved via the touch screen with a stylus or other suitable pointing device, and

via the intergrated keypad, see page 33. The Soft Input Panel (SIP) may also be

used for character and numeric entry, or for entering keyboard shortcuts. For more

information on the Soft Input Panel, see page 26.

Although the main user input device when working with Windows CE is the touch

screen, it can often be convenient to use keyboard shortcuts, such as those

described in the following table.

with the Windows CE operating system. This browser allows you to connect with
an internet service provider, view web pages and download from FTP sites.

Pocket Internet Explorer supports JScript. Java support can be added from third­party sources. Pocket Internet Explorer does not support VBScript; however,
VBScript components are included in the operating system and may be used by
third-party applications such as Proficy Machine Edition.

Backup

Backup saves changes that you make to the Windows Registry or Desktop to Flash
memory. This utility is required because the QuickPanel View Keypad is not battery
powered. Specifically, Backup does the following:

■

It stores the Windows CE registry (including any control panel settings) in
Flash memory.

■

It stores any changes (or additions) made to the ‘Windows’ subtree of the
file system in the user block of FLASH memory.

Run Backup whenever you make configuration changes to the operating system or
installed applications, and prior to shutting down the QuickPanel View Keypad.

To run the Backup program

1. On the desktop, double-tap Backup.

The Backup dialog box appears.

2. Tap OK.
