Basic Server Setup
Installation & Reference Guide — Doc. 5798
6.
Enter gateway address. Still in the Viewport, select
Functions | Setup IP
Table
to open the
IP Table
window. Click on the
Retrieve Current IP Table
from Control System
button to display the current listing. Verify that the IP
address for the PC running the CNX Gateway (often but not necessarily the
server itself) appears with an IP ID of 03. If it does not appear, use the
Add…
button to add an entry for IP ID 03. Then click the
Send IP Table to Control
System
button.
7.
Switch to TCP/IP. Now that TCP/IP is properly configured, the Ethernet
connection can be used for all subsequent system communications (from
SIMPL Windows, Test Manager, Vision Tools Pro-e, and all Viewport
functions). See the section below titled “Test Communications” on page 19.
Open the Viewport and issue the
Setup | Communications Settings…
command to reconfigure communications for TCP/IP. The serial cable can
now be removed.
8.
Install control system program. Upload the compiled SIMPL Windows
program file (
.bin
file) to each control system.
As supplied, the demo programs are configured for a single
CNMSX-PRO
control
system. For other models, use SIMPL Windows to convert the program as follows
and recompile:
CNMSX-AV.
In the Configuration Manager, drag & drop a CNMSX-AV system onto the CNMSX-PRO.
The converted system does not have a front panel, so compile “notices” appear — which
can be ignored.
CNRACKX.
Install a CNXCOM-2 card in slot 4 and use Port A.
In the Configuration Manager, drag & drop a CNRACKX system onto the CNMSX-PRO.
The converted system has a CNXCOM-2 card in slot 4; use Port A. The converted system
does not have a front panel, so compile “notices” appear — which can be ignored.
9.
Install touchpanel pages. Upload the compiled VT Pro project file (
.hex
file) to each control system.
As supplied, the demo touchpanel file,
demomail.vtp
(which contains pages for
all four demos), is configured for a LC-3000 touchpanel; and the accompanying
.hex
file is compiled for same. This file however also works fine with an CT-3000,
CT-3500, and a VT-3500. If you have one of these models, go ahead and upload the
.hex
file as is. If you are working with another panel, convert the file to your
target panel and recompile.
