1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the OneProd

MVX

monitoring and predictive maintenance

system. This product is delivered with a “toolbox” designed to perform various start-up and

maintenance operations on MVX: OneProd

CAST

OneProd

CAST

can be used to:

 View internal installation parameter specific to each MVX (serial number,

licence number, version of the embedded software (firmware), fixed IP address, etc).

 View defects detected by MVX  View the status of logical inputs and outputs on MVX  View the values of operating condition parameters  View and print log files of MVX.  Change addressing parameters for MVX (IP addresses)  Change the licence granted to MVX (upgrade)  Upgrade the internal software (firmware)

OneProd

CAST

is not intended for common operating of MVX but only for start-up and

maintenance operations. The present manual is typically suited for 5.1 firmware MVX versions.

Warning

Using the Expert mode of CAST allows acting on MVX internal parameters and can then lead to intentionally or unintentionally stopping programmed monitoring.

The use of CAST is then restricted to well-informed operators.

3 Using CAST: General points

3.1 Privileges

Upon launching of the program, a screen is displayed that allows to select the language and the operating mode of CAST:

After selecting the language, please select the operating mode you want to launch:

 Browse mode: free access but does not allow

any change: click on “Browse”.

 Expert (Configure) mode: access is

password-protected which allows to act on

MVX: click on “Configure”.

Warning

Using the Expert mode of CAST allows acting on MVX internal parameters and can then lead to intentionally or unintentionally stopping programmed monitoring.

The use of CAST is then restricted to well-informed operators.

This is the reason why the Expert mode is password-protected. We strongly recommend that the default password be changed. The default password is: OneproD (use lower and upper-case letters as indicated).

To change the password, please:

 Enter the initial password  Click on “Modif password”  Enter the new password  Confirm the new password  Click on “Update”

3.2 Connection to MVX

After selection of the CAST operating mode, the program displays a blank home page.

The first operation to carry out when using CAST consists in specifying the MVX to which to connect.

To do so, enter in the corresponding field:

 Either the serial number of the MVX (if dynamic IP network)  Or the IP address of the MVX (if fixed IP network)

Simply by clicking in the input area, one can display a pull-down list including the MVX instruments specified last.

One just needs then to select an IP address or a serial number in this list.

4 – Select the firmware version present in MVX

(V4.1 -> V5.0 before updating and > = V5.1 after.

For earlier versions use the corresponding version

of CAST).

1 – Please specify the MVX to which to connect.

3 – Enter the MVX

communication password

Default password is : MVX

2 – Let 443 et 21 Except when MVX is connected through a router modem

Page 12

Brand of ACOEM

This password is property of the MVX you want to communicate with. It is necessary for any kind of communication.

By default, this password is factory-set to MVX. It can be modified using CAST (2nd tab).

Once you have blanked the box or once you begin to enter a password, a complete first tab page opens.

There are 8 or 9 tabs, depending on the mode you’re using. (Tab “Firmware installation” does not exist in consultation mode)

Page 13

Brand of ACOEM

The first operation to begin with consists in pointing out the MVX that you want to reach.

In order to do that, please type on the top side of the page:

 Either the MVX serial number (in the case of a dynamical IP network),  Or directly the MVX IP address (in the case of a fixed IP address network).

In clicking into the IP address zone, you can see the scrolling list of the last MVX that have been reached with CAST.

Then you just have to choose an IP address or a serial number in the list.

Each time CAST is connected to a « new » MVX, it is strongly recommended to begin with a « ping » test, in order to verify that an Ethernet communication is possible with that MVX. Once that test is successful, then it is recommended to display the MVX information (§5.1) and to verify it before launching any other operation.

4 Communication Tools

Please first click on the « Tools » tab as below:

4.1: Ping test

4.2: Retrieving the MVX MAC address

4.3: Looking for an IP address on the network

Page 15

Brand of ACOEM

The « Tools » tab of CAST allows to run 3 different functions:

4.1 Ping test :

The « Ping » test verifies that a target (answering to a request) does exist on the network. It and also allows:

o To retrieve an IP address if you know the Hostname (serial number of an

MVX).

(or) o To retrieve the Hostname (serial number of an MVX) if you know its IP

address. Please first type the serial number on the left (into the red rectangle) and then click

on the “Ping” button. Note 1: This test can’t guarantee that the target which answers is currently an MVX.

Note 2: The communication password isn’t required for the « Ping » test.

4.2 Retrieving the MVX MAC address

MAC address corresponds to the physical address of an Ethernet port. There are 2 MAC addresses for an MVX: one for each Ethernet port.

Each MVX has different MAC addresses, which permits to distinguish them on a network. This function allows to retrieve an MVX MAC address once you know its IP address.

Please first type the IP address on the left (into the red rectangle) and then click on the “Search MAC address” button.

4.3 Looking for an IP address on the network

This is a scanning function: CAST looks for a particular MAC address on the network. Beforehand you have to type the MAC address and to restrict the research into a fork: two IP addresses.

Please enter the correct values into the red rectangles and click on the “Search IP address” button.

Note that this test may take several tens of seconds to be achieved.

5 Visual display of information

5.1 Display of information specific to each MVX

The display of this information is a basic operation, with which one should start each time CAST is used with a given MVX.

Click on button “Read information” in the first tab: after a few seconds, the corresponding table is filled out:

A quick view on this table allows checking for essential elements:

 Receiving information evidences

that the MVX is correctly addressed and can respond.

 With fixed IPs, once can check that

the expected MVX (which is identified through its serial number) responds at the specified IP address.

 One can check the rights granted to

the MVX (number of channels, possible options)

 One can check the MVX firmware

version: i.e. 5.0.0.23 here.

 We suggest that the date and time

be checked also.

Page 17

5.2 Display of channel and defect status

In the first tab, the second section, “MVX states”, allows viewing the possible status of defects for each channel, and globally for the MVX.

Click on “Read MVX states” in the first tab. In the example below:

The global status is:

 The MVX is Sensor defect”,  The MVX is loaded with settings defining channels 1 to 8,  Channel 2 is in Short-circuit mode,  Channel 4 is in Open-circuit mode,  Channels 1, 3, 5 to 8 are OK,  Channels 9 to (32) have not been defined in the set-up file loaded in MVX.

5.3 Display of logical input status

In the “Inputs/Outputs” tab, one can view the status of the 4 logical inputs of a MVX-160 or of the 8 logical inputs of a MVX-320.

To do so, click on the “Read” button.

In the above example, logical input #2 is active. Note 1: Click again on “Read” to refresh the screen. Note 2: In the case of MVX-160, it is normal that the 4 inputs that are not available

are displayed as active. Note 3: Fields “Relay outputs” and “Indicators” are neither accessible, nor

significant.

5.4 Internal processing information

This tab can be used to visualize live the internal processing of MVX. It allows well informed operators to verify that the different operating conditions are

rightfully detected and how often they appear. This can be useful in order to optimise the monitoring strategy in the case of complex

or no irregular cycle machineries. In the upper table, each line shows one Acquisition & Processing Task (TAT) that is

active in MVX at the instant of reading. In the lower table, each line matches with a status change for the task that has been

selected in the upper table.

6 Configuration of IP addressing

Rules for the use of Ethernet ports: 1 - It is recommended to use preferably the port B. This port can handle the

communication with the software OneProd (XPR, CAST, MSC, VIO) and PLC via Modbus TCP.

2 - If Modbus PLC is on a different network then connect it on port A

6.1 Configuration of a MVX with fixed IP

The second tab “Configuration” includes a section to define the fixed IP of a MVX.

MVX addressing on an Ethernet network can sometimes prove a delicate operation to implement. It must be carried out in collaboration with your computer specialists. The user is strongly urged to refer to Chapter 7 (connection of MVX to an Ethernet network) in the MVX user manual prior to any operation on the addressing mode.

The configuration of MVX IP is not available in consultation mode. To configure a MVX with a fixed IP address, follow the instructions below:

Clicking on button “Configure” results in the MVX being restarted and

changes the way in which it shall be addressed after this restart.

1 – Netwok DNS suffixe

(optional)

5 – Click on button “Configure”

2 – Select : Fixed IP

3 – Enter the fixed IP

address of MVX

4 – Enter subnet mask

5 – Enter default gateway

if required

6.2 Configuration of a MVX with dynamic IP

Reminder:

 MVX Version ≧ V5.1: By default, upon delivery, MVX starts with a dynamic IP

and sets itself to IP addresses within the range 169.254.x.y in the absence of

DHCP server.

 MVX Version < V5.1: before update to V5.1, in the absence of DHCP server

addresses are fixed to 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101.

The second tab “Configuration” includes a button allowing to reconfigure the MVX with a dynamic IP address.

MVX addressing on an Ethernet network can sometimes prove a

delicate operation to implement. It must be carried out in collaboration with your computer specialists.

The user is strongly urged to refer to Chapter 5 (connection of MVX to an Ethernet network) in the MVX user manual prior to any operation on the addressing mode.

The configuration of MVX IP is not available in consultation mode. To configure a MVX with a dynamic IP address, just click on button “Configure dynamic IP address” in the second tab of CAST.

Note: To carry out this operation, the fixed IP address of MVX must be known first.

If this fixed IP address is lost, you must reset the MVX : see § 7.4 of MVX user manual.

8 Modifications to the firmware

8.1 Modification of the MVX licence

The licence number of a MVX can be changed. This function is available in Expert mode only.

This operation allows changing rights granted to a MVX:

 Maximum number of channels for MVX,  Function levels (Easy or Premium),  Possible options.

A licence number is valid for a single MVX, which is defined by its serial number. In the second tab "Configuration", enter the licence number and click on “Send to

MVX”.

CAUTION

Changing the licence number will cause the MVX to restart. The monitoring will then be interrupted for about 2 minutes.

When this operation is completed and after restart of the MVX, it is recommended to go back to the first tab and check that the licence number and allocated rights have been updated by clicking on button “Read information”.

8.2 Upgrading the firmware

8.2.1 Upgrading the firmware to MVX 5.1: important note

 After updating to version V5.1, MVX cannot be "downgraded" to a previous

version without factory return. This is due to the new management of Ethernet

ports.

 Modification of default IP address :

o MVX Version ≧ V5.1: By default, upon delivery, MVX starts with a

dynamic IP and sets itself to IP addresses within the range 169.254.x.y in the absence of DHCP server.

o MVX Version < V5.1: before update to V5.1, in the absence of DHCP

server addresses are fixed to 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101.

8.2.2 Upgrading the firmware to MVX V4.x: important note

CAST allows upgrading MVX firmware in most of the situations, except when MVX is currently in a V1, V2 or V3 version and you want to upgrade it to V4.

In fact, V4 firmware is based on a new operating system.A specific software (MVX Updater) is required to upgrade MVX firmware from an operating system to the other.

(The following instructions are applicable only for CAST)

Page 26

Brand of ACOEM

8.2.3 Select the source directory

Upgrading the firmware can prove useful if one wants to benefit from improvements and new functions as soon as they are available.

Before upgrading the MVX firmware, make sure that it is compatible

with the respective versions of XPR, CSM & VIO that are currently being used. Please notice in particular that 2.x MVX firmware versions can only be used

with 2.x CSM & VIO versions, and with version 4.0 of XPR.

Upgrade is available in Expert mode only. The corresponding tab “Firmware installation” does not exist in Consultation mode.

To upgrade the firmware of a MVX, a copy of the firmware must be present on a computer station connected to MVX, i.e., on the station from which CAST is used.

The firmware copy can originate from the hard disk or from the CD-ROM. It is not recommended that a firmware copy be used directly from a network drive. In this case, it should be copied onto the PC first.

In the “Firmware installation” tab, click on button and select the directory containing the firmware version to install in MVX. Example: directory “Firmware_5.1.0”.

8.2.4 Launching the upgrade

After notching the corresponding options “Install OS” and “Fixed IP address” boxes, please click on “Install” to launch the upgrading operation.

MVX must remain connected during the entire upgrading phase. The progress of file transfer can be monitored using the table below (“Status” column). Transfer is completed when the user regains control of the program. Simple firmware upgrade duration is about 30s, plus MVX boot time. Complete firmware + OS upgrade duration is about 3 minutes, plus MVX boot time.

Nevertheless monitoring tasks are assumed until reboot.

9 Miscellaneous

9.1 Retrieval of log files

Log files are files in which MVX records various dated events as they come along. File “Log Ws” is devoted to information transfer between MVX and the user’s

computer station. CAST allows reading these files or printing them in order for Acoem specialists to

analyse possible dysfunctions. CAST also allows reading internal functional indicator levels (*):

 CPU load for RT indicators  Available RAM memory  Available Compact-Flash memory  …

(*): only with version V5.x MVX firmware version. Note: interpretation of log files data may require Acoem assistance
