Getting Started

To avoid gasket degradation, limit repeated insertions or removals of the unit


and retightening of the mounting clips. For full protection, always use a fresh
gasket. Replacement gaskets may be ordered using part number
IC754ACC06GAS.

For adequate ventilation, allow at least 3 inches of space between adjacent


equipment and all sides of the QuickPanel. Ensure that specified conditions of
temperature and humidity are not exceeded.

In outdoor applications, direct sun exposure may impose increased thermal


loads on the QuickPanel leading to excessive temperature rises. Cabinet design
and orientation must be carefully considered to avoid exceeding the
operational temperature limits. These considerations could include shading for
the QuickPanel and its cabinet with awnings or other solar opaque materials,
avoiding a due East or West facing of the cabinet, ventilation or active cooling
of the cabinet, or other methods.

The unit will not fit through this cutout with a CF card inserted in the port, with any
cables connected, or with the power supply plug inserted in the socket. To secure
the QuickPanel View to a panel, use the four included mounting brackets. They
hook into openings located on the top and bottom of the housing.
Bottom

T o mo un t t h e Q u ick Pa n e l V i e w i n a p a n e l
1. Verify that the gasket is properly seated in the bezel channel, then insert the unit into the panel cutout (without a CF
card in the CF port).
2. Insert the hook of each mounting bracket in the housing openings as shown below.
3. Firmly tighten the screws.
Note: The torque range for the mounting bracket screws is 2.6-4.4 inch/lbs
(0.3-0.5 Nm).

Getting Started

The mounting brackets hold the unit in place by tension alone. No drilling is
required.

Do not damage the gasket attached to the back of the units bezel. This gasket
prevents shock hazards and damage caused by liquids accidentally entering the
unit after installation. Also, limit the number of times you remove and reinstall the
unit. Too many installations may cause gasket set and degradation of the seal.

Overview

QuickPanel View Software

QUICKPANEL VIEW SOFTWARE


Windows CE.NET
Microsoft Windows CE.NET is the operating system for the QuickPanel View. It is a
full 32-bit O/S with a graphical user interface. This operating system is finding
widespread application in hand-held PCs and embedded HMIs, such as the
QuickPanel View. From a users perspective, the familiar look and feel of the
Windows CE environment shortens the learning curve for those having experience
with Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP. From the software developers perspective,
the CE environment is a subset of the WIN32 application programming interface,
simplifying the porting of existing software from other versions of Windows.
The QuickPanel View operating system is stored in a 16 MB block of FLASH
memory and copied to DRAM for execution. The operating system starts
automatically following a power-up or reset of the QuickPanel View.

HTTPUTIL COPY \MyFile.txt http://MyServer/webfiles/MyFileBACKUP.txt

Copies a file called MyFile.txt on drive C: of the local computer to the webfiles
folder under the web server at //MyServer. Note that you can rename a file as you
copy it.
HTTPUTIL DELETE url
Where url is the remote URL of the file you want to delete. This URL must use
the // or HTTP:// syntax. For example:
HTTPUTIL DELETE http://MyServer/webfiles/MyFileBACKUP.txt

Deletes a file called MyFileBACKUP.txt from the webfiles directory under the web

FTP Server
The FTP Server included with the QuickPanel View supports both standard (RFC
959) and Explicit FTPS (i.e., FTP/SSL, Auth TLS, TLS-C, RFC-4217). It does not
support SFTP or implicit FTPS, which uses different ports and is based on SSH
rather than SSL.

All configuration of the FTP server is accomplished with the Secure FTP Server
control panel applet. By default, the server is not enabled. Once enabled, a
background program will run, waiting for clients to connect. Up to ten
connections are supported. Sessions that are idle for five minutes are terminated by
the server.

The Server supports:

Non-secure operation. All information including username, password, and data


is transmitted with no encryption and susceptable to packet sniffing and various
FTP attacks. This is the default.

GFK-2325A

Both secure and non-secure operation. This mode of operation, either secure or
non-secure, is determined by the client when it connects. This operation is
active when Support Secure Connection is enabled, but Required is not.

6" QuickPanel View

21

Overview

QuickPanel View Software

Secure operation only. Secure operation uses encrypted connections for the
control connection. The data connections are encrypted or non-encrypted
based on the settings of the client. Secure operations also require the server to
have a signed server certificate it can use to prove it is the actual machine the
client wanted to reach and not an imposter. This mode is active when both
Support Secure Connection and Required are enabled.

By default, the server requires a username/password combination to be configured.


The server supports one username/password combination to authenticate remote
users. There are three modes of authentication operation:

No support for anonymous login. This is the default.

Anonymous with no password. This is enabled when Allow Anonymous


Access is checked, but Require Username and Password is not checked.

Anonymous with password requested (but not validated). This is enabled when
Allow Anonymous Access and Require Username and Password are checked.
This can prevent some types of attacks and is required by some clients.

Once connected, a remote user is logged into the FTP root directory. This is
available from the QuickPanel View as \Temp\ftp and is a volatile RAM area. Files
placed in this area are not persisted over a power cycle/reboot and use memory
from the Storage Memory allocation. For this reason, remote users are only able to
read, rename, and delete files from the FTP root directory. Programs running on the
QuickPanel can access \Temp\ftp like any other directory, but remote users cannot
fill up Storage Memory remotely.
All removable flash devices appear to remote FTP users as directories off of the FTP
root directory. PC Flash cards partitions appear as directories such as
\PCFlashStorage. The names contain no spaces as FTP commands do not support
spaces in filenames. Full access privileges are granted for the client in these
folders/devices.
Removable flash device directories are captured when a session is opened and are
not changed while the session exists. If you start without a CF card installed, you
will have to close your session and login again to see the CF directory. If the CF
card existed when you logged in and is removed and inserted, it will still work
provided the CF cards device name did not change during reinsertion.
A server certificate is a special type of document which contains information about
the servers settings and a chain of electronic signatures to guarantee the document

has not been altered. A Server certificate must be chosen from the certificates
available in the QuickPanel View Secure FTP Server control panel applet.

The certificate itself is imported with the Certificates control panel applet. The
main requirements of the certificate are that it must have the server authentication
key usage attribute set and the name of the certificate should match the name used
to connect to the FTP server (which could be the IP address of the server).
Certificates can either be purchased from an online vendor and imported into the
QuickPanel View, or a self-signed certificate can be generated from the QuickPanel
View. The benefit of a purchased certificate is that any user that has the root
certificate used by the online vendor can determine the certificate is valid without
the need for any additional information. A self-signed certificate is only known to
be valid by clients that have added the certificate to their trusted list. Users can still
access a server using a self-signed certificate, but they lose the ability to verify that
no one is operating as an imposter somewhere on the network between them and
the server.

To creat e a s el f-s ign e d cert ific at e


1. Double click the genslfcert.exe utility in the QuickPanel View/Control.
2. From the command prompt, type genslfcert CN=<unique identifier>.
You may specify a unique identifier of your choice, such as machine name,
machine location, or IP address in place of unique identifier.
3. A self-signed certificate is created in the My Certificates section of the certificates Control Panel.
This will create a self-signed certificate in the My Certificates section of the
certificates control panel and a SelfSigned.cer file in My Computer which can be
transferred to FTP Clients as a trusted source. Certificates may be managed through
snap-ins to the Microsoft Management Console or other third party management
consoles.
A Backup should be performed after configuring the FTP server and/or creating the
self-signed certificate.

Recommended Cabling for TIA/EIA422 or TIA/EIA485


The COM1 port on the QuickPanel View provides connections to devices, which
support either TIA/EIA422 or TIA/EIA485. These electrical standards specify a
differential signaling technique which provides high data rates, long distances and
good noise rejection. The standards do not address signal encoding (protocol),
connectors, or cabling. However, certain characteristics of interfacing these
devices should be considered in order to ensure reliable connections.

36

6" QuickPanel View

GFK-2325A

Detailed Operation

Communication Port

Connections

Connect nodes in a daisy chain fashion. Do not connect in other arrangements,


especially "star." The standards do not specify the maximum number of nodes or
devices that can be connected to a TIA/EIA 422 or 485 network. Instead, the
standards limit the number of electrical connections by specifying that a maximum
of 32 unit loads (UL) may be connected. The QuickPanel View presents one UL.

Interconnect media

Always use twisted pair cabling and group complimentary signals into conductor
pairs; TXA with TXB, for example. Use a cable with a characteristic impedance of
100 ohms to 120 ohms. A wire gauge of 24 AWG is commonly used. Maximum
cable length is 4,000' (1,219.2m), but may be less due to cable impedance,
connection quality, data rates, and other factors.
Shield is optional. See Shielding on page 38.

Termination

Always provide proper termination at each end of the 422/485 network. The
QuickPanel View provides built-in termination resistance when pin #9 (TRMRXB)
is connected to pin #10 (RXA).
Caution: Do not terminate every node. Only terminate the end nodes.

Grounding

A signal return path between transmitting and receiving devices must be provided.
This return path is separate from the Rx and Tx data lines and the other 422/485
signals supported by the QuickPanel View, and may be provided by a separate
conductor in the cable. Connect both ends of the signal return conductor to Signal
Ground (pin #7). Shielding or use of a twisted pair for this connection is not
necessary.
For installations where all devices are in the same cabinet and have the same
ground potential between devices, connecting Signal Ground between all the
devices on the 422/485 network is adequate to ensure proper voltage levels at the
devices.
However, if there is a difference in ground potential between devices, such as
when the devices are in widely separated cabinets, then signal grounds on a
422/485 network should not be tied together. The cable shield and cable ground
should be connected together at only one device, closest to the earth ground
connection.
The signal and frame grounds of the QuickPanel View are capacitively coupled,
but in some devices these ground references are connected together. Connect
Signal Ground (pin #7) to Frame Ground (pin #1) and then to earth ground on the
QuickPanel View only in the circumstance where the other devices separate their
signal and frame grounds and the QuickPanel View is the only device with frame
and signal ground connected to earth ground.

Shielding

Detailed Operation

Communication Port

Shielded cable is required for compliance with CE and FCC requirements. The
cable shield should be connected to the metal connector shell or by pin #1 of the
QuickPanel 25-pin serial connector. Shield and cable ground (pin #7 of the 25-pin
connector or pin #5 of the 9-pin connector) should not be connected directly
together.
The Frame Ground (pin #1) of the QuickPanel View should be used for attaching
the cable shield in these applications.
Caution: Do not connect Signal Ground (pin #7) to Frame Ground (pin #1) on the
QuickPanel View, except in the specific and limited circumstances noted in the
Grounding section on page 37.

unit is equipped with a CF (Compact Flash) Type 2 port on its side.
Right Side

Compact Flash Port

A CF card is inserted in this port with its front facing the front panel of the unit (the
narrow side slot on the card should be toward the top). The card should slide in
easilyto avoid damage, do not force it.
Note: For full protection from electrostatic discharge, peel off the paper label on
the side of the CF card facing away from the bezel to allow contact between the
card and the internal frame ground contacts on the CF connector.
The Copy Project to Flash Card utility (see page 20) lets you transfer Machine
Edition projects between QuickPanel View units via CF Cards.
No Compact Flash cards are supplied with the QuickPanel View. A list of cards
(and other devices) that have been tested and are compatible can be found by
visiting http://globalcare.gefanuc.com, then select the Operator Interface category,
then select the QuickPanel View product name.
The CF port only supports 3.3v CF cards. 5v CF cards are not suported.
Caution: Do not remove power while the system is writing to the CF card, such as
when copying a Proficy Machine Edition project. Removing power while writing
may lead to data loss and file or CF card corruption. To ensure the system
completes writing to flash and closes all files, see Shutdown on page 4.

Detailed Operation

Memory

MEMORY
The QuickPanel View supports a variety of memory subsystems to ensure the
requirements of your application are met. All system memory is tied directly to the
microprocessors address and data busses for fastest access. To increase DRAM by
up to 64 MB, a 100-pin DIMM memory expansion slot is also included.

Flash Memory
This 32 MB block of non-volatile memory is the main long-term program storage
for the QuickPanel View, operating like a virtual hard drive from the point of view
of Windows CE. It is divided into two areas, of which only one is accessible from
Windows CE Explorer. The
Flash Storage folder represents a 16 MB block of
memory available for long-term storage of user application programs. Another 16
MB block is used to store the Windows CE operating system, and is not directly
accessible from Windows CE Explorer.
The operating system and all user application programs are transferred from Flash
to DRAM for execution. Any user additions to the
Windows folder are retained
in
Flash Storage when the
Backup utility is run.
FLASH memory has a limited write-cycle lifetime. That is, the physical memory
devices wear out after approximately 100,000 cycles (minimum), so it is advisable
to limit file operations such as copy, delete, etc.
The write cycle is much slower for FLASH than it is for other portions of RAM,
therefore FLASH is not recommended for the storage of program variables, or any
data items whose values are dynamic.
Flash memory can optionally be added with a CF Card, which will appear as the
PCFlash Storage folder.
Caution: Do not remove power while the system is writing to flash memory, such
as when downloading a Proficy Machine Edition project. Removing power while
writing may lead to data loss and file system corruption. To ensure the system
completes writing to flash and closes all files, see Shutdown on page -4.

To add External F las h memo ry w ith a C F Ca rd

Insert a Compact Flash card into CF Port (see page 42).

The unit immediately reads the new secondary storage. If the disk requires
formatting, you will be prompted to do so.
New memory appears in Windows CE Explorer as

PCFlash Storage.

GFK-2325A

Detailed Operation

Memory

External flash memory devices are named after their types of connection and order
of attachment. For example, if you connect two flash memory devices, one via the
CF port and one via the fieldbus connector, the first device connected device is
named PCFlash Storage, and the second device is named PCFlash Storage2. At
powerup, a CF port device is recongnized and named first. Otherwise, the name
depends on connection order.

SRAM Memory
This 512 KB block of static RAM is battery-backed to provide data retention
through a power cycle. This memory block is shared by the operating system and
user applications. A portion of the SRAM memory, represented as the
SRAM
Storage folder, operates as a virtual hard drive and is accessible from the Windows
CE Explorer. Typical application programs create files in this folder in which to
store critical program data.
The portions of SRAM memory used by the operating system and by user
applications varies between models.

DRAM Memory
The QuickPanel View is equipped with 32 MB of dynamic RAM. Part of the DRAM
(13.2 MB) is reserved for the Windows CE operating system and is not accessible
by user applications. The other 18.8 MB is split between two functions: an object
store for temporary file storage, and the main memory for running programs.
Typically, compressed programs stored in FLASH are expanded and moved to
DRAM for execution. Temporary storage of program variables or data files is also
provided by DRAMany data stored in DRAM will not be retained through a
power cycle.
The split between program memory and storage memory may be adjusted as
necessary to make more room for one or the other, depending on your specific
application needs. For example, if you find that an application is short of memory,
use the System Properties dialog box to alter DRAM memory allocation.
Caution: Setting Program Memory too low may prevent additional applications
from starting , or may cause currently running applications to fail due to lack of
memory. Setting Storage Memory too low may prevent the saving of files into the
object store portion of the file system, which may also cause application failures.

Configuring SNTP
There are two levels of Network Time Protocol (NTP) time servers available on the
Internet.
First-level time servers are primarily intended to act as source time servers for
second-level time servers. First-level time servers may also be capable of providing
mission-critical time services. Some first-level time servers may have a restricted
access policy.
Second-level time servers are intended for general SNTP time service needs and
usually enable public access. It is recommended that you use second-level time
servers for normal SNTP time server configuration because they are normally
located on a closer network that can produce faster updates.
It is recommended that you research any time server selection to ensure that it can
meet your specific time server requirements. More information and a list of SNTP
time servers can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262680/.
If the time on the time server is more than the threshold value away from the
current time on the QuickPanel View, then the time is not updated. Setting the
Threshold to 0 tells the utility to always accept the time from the server. This setting
would be useful in a case where the backup battery has died and the QuickPanel
View was power cycled, since the internal clock would have reset back to January
1, 1980 12:00 am.

Troubleshooting
The tables contained in this appendix can be used to identify and remedy
problems that can occur with the 6" QuickPanel View.

Power up
Problem

Suggested remedy

Blank screen.

Check all power connections to the QuickPanel.


Note: Left LED glows amber when backlight fails.

Pocket Internet Explorer


Problem

Suggested remedy

Cannot access any URLs when using


a dial-up connection to an ISP.

If you have previously set up an IP address on a local


Ethernet Network, it must be cleared. Disconnect your
Ethernet cable and reboot.
Your ISP will reassign an IP address when you reconnect
the cable.

Physical Unit

GFK-2325A

Problem

Suggested remedy

Slow or sluggish touch response.

Ensure that configured I/O or communications channels


such as serial or Ethernet are operating without error.
These errors can cause higher system overhead leading to
delayed response to touch inputs.
Ensure that flash drives, internal or external, are operating
without error. If the flash drives are highly fragmented or
corrupted, reads & writes to the drive can experience
significant delays leading to delayed response to touch
inputs. Corrupted external flash drives may be corrected
with Storage Manager. See Storage Manager on page 18.

Problem

Suggested remedy

After adding expansion memory in


the DIMM connector, the system
wont boot, or, if it does boot, it
displays an error message.

When the system is first started, observe the screen to


notice any memory error messages from the boot loader. If
error messages such as the following are seen, DIMM not
12 row or DIMM not 32 bit or DIMM Refresh
Unsupported, power down the system and remove the
memory module.
If the error message is displayed from the Windows CE
desktop, also power down the system and remove the
memory module. For proper operation, expansion memory
modules must meet the requirements stated in the Design
Specifications on page 59.
