system is accessed by a Web browser. Click
Open
, and then
OK
to begin the
transfer.
If any files in the VT Pro-e project change, the changed files can be transferred to the
MC2E without resending the entire project by choosing the “Only Transfer Files that
have Changed”
option. Here again, browse to the .web project folder and select the
default page. Click
Open
, and then
OK
to transfer the changed files.
Finally, selecting “Transfer Single File” can send a single HTML file. Browse to the
file and click
Open
. Then specify the file’s relative path (from the root directory)
and click
OK
.
SIMPL Windows
For each IP ID in the VT Pro-e browser project, there must be one corresponding e-
Control PC Interface symbol defined in the SIMPL Windows program. The PC
Interface symbol is one of the Ethernet Modules that can be dropped into the
C2ENET-1 card slot.
As with all Ethernet devices, the PC Interface must receive an entry in the IP Table
of the MC2E. Here the IP ID must match the IP ID that was assigned in VT Pro-e,
while the IP address must be set to a loopback: 127.0.0.1, when hosting to the
internal memory of the MC2E.
Uploading Touchpanel Projects via the MC2E
You can use the network connection to the MC2E to upload VisionTools Pro-e
projects to any Cresnet touchpanel. Compiled projects for TPS panels are contained
in VTZ files; projects for all other touchpanels are contained in HEX files.
Before uploading, open Viewport and click
Diagnostics | Report Network Devices
to verify that the touchpanel is being detected by the control system. (As with any
network device, touchpanels must be identified by unique hexadecimal network IDs.
These IDs are set in the SIMPL Windows program.)
To upload a project:
1. From VT Pro-e: Click the
Project | Upload
button
on the toolbar, or
click
File | Upload Project.
From Viewport: Click
File Transfer | Send Touchpanel
or press
Alt+T
.
2. Select the network ID of the touchpanel, as set in SIMPL Windows, from
the drop-down list.
3. Browse to the HEX or VTZ file to be uploaded. If the file is a HEX file,
click
Open
to begin the transfer.
If the file is a VTZ file, choose the pages to send to the TPS panel. The
choices are as follows:
-
All Files in Project
: sends the entire project.
-
Only Changed Files
: sends only the files that are different
from those that are currently stored in the panel.
NOTE
: Panels that are not present in the uploaded project are deleted.
