The event logger is saved to the SPI ash (Serial Peripheral Interface ash) memory. The FlashPROM contains:
- BIOS
- Firmware
- Application Program
- Alibi memory
- XML conguration les (for user management, system setup, calibration and
The backups are stored on the SD card (Secure Digital card) (see also PR 5900 installation manual under [Hardware construction]- [Main board]- [SD card slot] ).

2.2.1 Power failure

The entire content of the working memory is stored to a NAND ash memory and remains there permanently when the power is interrupted or the device is disconnected from the power.
The SD card and the USB stick are buered by a battery. If a HUB (splitter) is inserted into the USB slot and turned o, the connection between the
USB stick and battery is broken.

2.2.2 Warm start

When power is restored, all data are reloaded from the NAND ash memory to the working memory and the device is restored to the operating status before the interruption. Filling programs are stopped/started depending on user settings.

2.9 Operating via a notebook/PC

The following options are possible:
- Via VNC Viewer (on the enclosed CD-ROM), see Chapter 2.9.5.
- Via the internet browser, see Chapter 2.9.6.
Requirement: The Java application must be supported by the web browser.

2.9.1 Finding and connecting the device automatically in the network

If the DHCP server is active in the network, the connected device (if activated in the menu [Operating] - [Default conguration] - [Network parameters] - [use DHCP]) is automatically assigned an IP address.
On the notebook/PC, the host names of the connected devices in the network are listed under [Network].
Double-click the host name to open the device page in the web browser. The IP address is displayed on the bottom right.
Note:
If the web browser supports the Java application, the device can be operated via[remote conguration (VNC).]
If the web browser does not support the Java application, the menu items will be inaccessible (grayed out).

2.9.2 Finding and connecting a device with a notebook/PC

If the device is connected to a notebook/PC via a point-to-point connection, an IP address is negotiated via function "AutoIP". This can take up to 2 minutes!
NOTICE
When the IT/DHCP network cable is temporarily connected between the notebook/ PC and a device, the DHCP server is lost and the notebook/PC returns to the auto-IP address within approx. two minutes!
Reason: The DHCP server/client relationship is checked cyclically at 23-minute intervals.
Minebea Intec EN-26
2 Commissioning Process Controller Maxxis 5 PR 5900
1. On the notebook/PC, set the LAN local and Internet Protocol properties to "Obtain an IP address automatically" depending on the operating system.
2. On the device, under MENU - [Default conguration] - [Network parameters] activate the "Use DHCP" parameter (factory/default settings).
The DHCP devices nd each other because they fall into an "auto-IP address" in the range 169.254.0.1169.254.255.254 with the associated auto-subnet mask
255.255.0.0 after a cyclical automatic DHCP server search run due to time overow (23 minutes).
Example:
If the search time is exceeded (because there is "no server found"), the PR 5900 is assigned to an IP address automatically (e.g. 169.254.0.123). The same applies to the notebook or PC (e.g. 169.254.0.54).
These IP addresses are dierent on both sides:
- equal regarding the rst 2 octets of the IP address (e.g. network ID 169.254.)
- dierent in the last 2 octets of the IP address (e.g. host ID 0.123.)

2.9.3 Searching the device in the network with "IndicatorBrowser"

The IP address can be found out using the "IndicatorBrowser" application (supplied on CD-ROM) and via the "host name" of the device.
The "host name" is composed of the device name and the last 3 bytes of the MAC ID. A label with the complete MAC ID is located on the outside of the device.
Host name: PR5900-6B6A5E
For this, the program must be installed and started on a notebook/PC.
