17.2.2 Configure the communication between the CNC and the Thin Client.
The Thin Client comes with a VNC client software. To configure the VNC start command,
select the tab Configuration> New > Local and define the following data.
Together with the command, it launches the IP address to which the Thin Client is connected.
The address may be changed from Configuration > Edit > Local, in the Parameter window.
Name VNC (or the desired name)
Application Custom
Parameter vncviewer10.0.7.250:0 -fullscreen (IP address of the CNC)
Start automatically Select this option with a value of 5 s (illustrative value).
Application restart Select this option so the Thin Client tries to re-establish
communication without having to restart the system in case of
communication loss for some time (because the Ethernet cable
has been disconnected, for example).
The purpose of the "Start automatically" parameter is to start the VNC client of the Thin Client after
the VNC of the CNC has been started up. The value of this parameter depends largely on how both
devices, central unit and Thin Client, start up. If both elements start up at the same time or the Thin
Client starts before the VNC server is available at the CNC, the VNC customer of the Thin Client cannot
be connected and it will issue a connection error or data reading error. In this case, the time set for
parameter "Start automatically" will have to be increased.
If the startup of the Thin Client depends on the CNC being started up first (e.g. condition the startup
of the Thin Client to a PLC output), this "Start automatically" parameter could be set to 0 (zero).
