Important Notice

This instrument provides measurement readings to its user, and serves as a tool by which
valuable data can be gathered. The information provided by the instrument may assist the user in
eliminating potential hazards caused by his process; however, it is essential that all personnel
involved in the use of the instrument or its interface, with the process being measured, be
properly trained in the process itself, as well as all instrum entation relate d to it.

The safety of personnel is ultimately the responsibility of those who control process
conditions. While this instrument may be able to provide early warning of imminent
danger, it has no control over process conditions, and it can be misused. In particular, any
alarm or control systems installed must be tested and understood, both as to how they
operate and as to how they can be defeated. Any safeguards required such as locks, labels,
or redundancy, must be provided by the user or specifically requested of Teledy ne at the
time the order is placed.

Therefore, the purchaser must be aware of the hazardous process conditions. The purchaser
is responsible for the training of personnel, for providing hazard warning methods and
instrumentation per the appropriate standards, and for ensuring that hazard warning devices
and instrumentation are maintained and operated properly.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments, the manufacturer of this instrument, cannot accept
responsibility for conditions beyond its knowledge and control. No statemen t expressed or
implied by this document or any information disseminated by the manufacturer or its
agents, is to be construed as a warranty of adequate safety control under the user’s process
conditions.

Remote Access to HMI Introduction

Introduction

1.1 Objective

The objective is to access and control the GC PRO touch screen
display HMI5070TH using smart phones like IPHONE &
ANDROID PHONES.

Introduction Model GC PRO

1.2 Overview

The operating instruction manual is prepared to define the set of
procedures to access & control the GC PRO HMI on the smart
devices like IPHONE, IPAD, ANDROID PHONES and
NOTEBOOKS etc. The remote connection is achieved by the
VNC client protocol applications available for smart phones.

Remote Access to HMI Operational Theory

Operational Theory

The VNC Server is enabled on HMI5070TH display with
Ethernet cable connected to its LAN port. The VNC
client/viewer on the internal network can use the private IP
address of the server, but the VNC client/viewer on the external
network need to use the public IP address. However if private
network has to be accessed by the VNC client from the external
network, “port forwarding”/“net mapping” can be used as
demonstrated in the following block diagram.
