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 (without a CF card in the CF port).

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

3. Firmly tighten the screws.

Notes:

■

The torque range for the mounting bracket screws is 2.6-4.4 inch/lbs (0.3-0.5 Nm)

■

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

■

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

■

Do not damage the gasket attached to the back of the unit’s bezel. 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. The mounting clips hold the unit in place by tension alone. No drilling is required.

QuickPanel View Software

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 embedded HMIs, 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 16 MB block of FLASH memory and is copied to DRAM for execution. 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’s 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 CIMPLICITY 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

1. in the Start menu, choose Programs, then choose Command Prompt.

The Command Line editor appears.

2. Type commands as required.

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

Overview

QuickPanel View Software

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.

Memory

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. To increase DRAM by up to 64 MB, a 100-pin DIMM memory expansion slot is also included.

Flash Memory

This 32 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 Flash Storage folder represents a 16 MB block of memory available for long-term storage of user application programs. The other 16 MB is used to store the Windows CE operating system, and is not directly accessible from Windows CE Explorer.

The operating system and all user application programs are transferred from Flash to DRAM for execution. Any user additions to the Windows folder are retained in Flash Storage when the Backup utility is run.

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 memory can optionally be added with a CF Card, which will appear as the

PCFlash Storage folder.

To add Flash memory with a CF Card

■

Insert a Compact Flash card into CF Port (see page 34).

The unit immediately reads the new secondary storage. If the disk requires formatting, you will be prompted to do so.

New memory appears in Windows CE Explorer as PCFlash Storage.

42 6" QuickPanel View GFK-2325

Page 49

Detailed Operation

Memory

SRAM Memory

This 512 KB block of static RAM is battery-backed to provide data retention through a power cycle. The SRAM memory is made available for user applications by operating as a virtual hard drive and is accessible from the Windows CE Explorer. It is represented as the SRAM Storage folder. A typical application program would create a file in this folder and store any critical program data in that file.

DRAM Memory

The QuickPanel View is equipped with 32 MB of dynamic RAM. Part of the DRAM (11 MB) is reserved for the Windows CE operating system and is not accessible by user applications. The other 21 MB is split between two functions: 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.

To change the DRAM memory allocation

1. In the Control Panel, double-tap System.

The System Properties dialog box appears.

3. Tap OK to apply the new setting.

4. Run the Backup program to retain the new setting through a power cycle (see page 13).

Boot Loader ROM

The Boot Loader ROM provides 512 KB of non-volatile storage for the QuickPanel View’s initialization program. This program configures the QuickPanel View hardware then starts the operating system’s execution. This memory is not accessible from Windows CE Explorer, nor should any attempts be made to modify the contents of this ROM.

To install additional DRAM

Physical

Enclosure dimensions Height: 4.86 in (126mm)

Width: 6.14 in (158mm) Depth: 2.76 in (70mm)

Bezel dimensions Height: 6.17 in (156.7mm)

Width: 8 in (203.2mm) Depth: 0.85 in (21.5mm)

Weight 2.5lb (1.16 kg)

DC Power

Input Voltage 10.8 to 30 VDC (12 VDC +/- 10% regulated

power supply; 24 VDC +/- 20% power supply)

Real Power 12 W

Power requirement nominal for startup when DC supply is already powered and stable. Applying power to the supply while connected to the QuickPanel View increases total inrush current requirements. In this case, supply should be rated at 10x the nominal startup current. Otherwise, an interposing relay or switch must be used between the DC supply and the QuickPanel View.

NOTE : For compliance with UL 1604, switches or relays inline with the DC power wiring cannot be used in hazardous locations.

Connector (Vendor, p/n) Phoenix Contact, 1777992

Power Supply Conductor Size 12 to 18 AWG

For compliance to CE Mark, the isolated frame ground must be connected.

Recommended frame ground connection is via the shortest possible route, using a 14 AWG conductor.
