first” in VT Pro-e. With an XPANEL project, select the initialization file as
the default.
If you change any of the HTML files in your project, the changed files can be
transferred without need to resend the entire project. Simply choose the
Only
Transfer Files that have Changed option. Here again, you select the default
page, click Open , and then OK to transfer the changed files.
During transfer, Viewport compares the files in the HTML project folder with
those that currently exist on the Web server. If the Web server contains any
files that are not present in the project, those files will be deleted from the
Web server.
Finally, you can send a single HTML page by selecting Transfer Single File .
Locate the file and click Open . Then specify the file's relative path (from the
root directory) and click OK . Note that this will delete any other pages that
are present in the Web server.
Compact Flash
Feature
As just described, you can use the Viewport to transfer e-Control Web pages to
Compact Flash, rather than to internal memory on the 2-Series processor. In addition,
if you have a Compact Flash reader/writer drive on your PC, you can load HTML
pages to a Compact Flash card using Windows Explorer or any other file transfer
method. The files should be saved in a directory called
HTML .
When you insert the card into the Memory Expansion slot of the control system, the
control system will look for the HTML directory and automatically load the Web
pages to the Web server. (The
HTML directory must also include a configuration file
called config_ini, which identifies the default page.)
Standalone Executables
In addition to generating Web pages, e-Control 2 can generate a standalone program
that can run on any Windows PC. This is an ideal option if the system will not be
accessed by a large number of dynamically assigned clients, but rather by a few static
computers. This scenario does not require a server to deliver the e-Control 2 pages. All
the data can be stored locally on the Windows PC.
You can design and create a standalone executable just as you would an e-Control 2
browser project:
1. Select XPANEL as the panel type in VT Pro-e.
2. In Project Properties , go to the Compile tab and select Executable as the
target.
3. Go to the Web tab and assign an IP ID to all the project pages. Then specify
the IP address or fully-qualified domain name of the control system.
On the SIMPL Windows side, programming is the same as with a browser project:
•
Map the join numbers in the VT Pro-e project to inputs and outputs on the e-
Control PC Interface symbol detail, as described before.
•
The e-Control PC Interface symbol should be assigned the IP ID of the project
pages as assigned in VT Pro-e, together with the IP address of the gateway.
Note that you do not have to install the licensed CNX Gateway for a
