Tip!
If after connecting to the front end, you cannot
see any folders under the remote path, it
suggests there is a firewall issue. Check with
the local IT support / local PC firewall settings
The PC’s local path shown here is a directory containing --> To download files from PC to Front End
EDF files.
<-- To upload files from the Front End to PC.
From the file management tab, double click on the HTML folder
(remote path – front end file system) and you will now see its
contents. On the local path (left side) notice that the view was
changed to a folder containing front end web files
Insure the files you want to send from your PC to the front end
are ok to be overwritten in the ‘front end . (Meaning, the files
being sent are newer)
Progress is displayed.
Transfer complete
Here, the local path was changed so now in view are the EDF files
in the front end. Also, on the right, the user clicked on the EDF
folder. However, you’ll notice that the EDF folder is empty for
the front end. In order to conserve memory allocation the user
will need to navigate up to the Tools menu and select the option
‘Copy EDF Files from Flash Disk’.
Files can now be seen in the EDF folder. There may be rare instances where the front end has newer EDF
To transfer EDF files or device list from the PC to the front end , files than the local PC. In this case, use the left arrow in the center
simply highlight the files on the local path and click on the right of the screen to ‘upload’ the files from the front end to the PC.
arrow in the centre. Files will now be copied.
Note: After loading EDF’s or device list files, the front end must be
reset. Once the reset is completed, the files will be stored in the
flash memory of the unit, but again won’t be visible until another
copy command is performed as shown earlier from the Tools
menu. (There is no need to reset the front end after loading web/
html files however.)
2/ Right click this line or press the ‘Launch’ button to start the
offline web environment
Note that depending on your PC configuration, Windows
may issue a Security alert. Press the Unblock button to
continue.
Begin here
Upon entry to the offline simulator, you are first presented with
this screen showing an active alarm for ‘Database Cleared’. This
is simply a default status before a ‘store name’ is programmed in
Configuration- System –‘Store Name’.
Save program to
your PC when done
Now, using the tabs under configuration, you are able to fully
configure your ‘front end program ‘offline’.
Please refer to the Front End User Guide for complete details on
configuring your system.
Once saved, this database will be shown in the list with the other
already saved databases, since the path selected for all were the
same.
Note: Multiple simulator instances can run at the same time. If you
have launched multiple simulators of the same version you will
see a consolidated web view (known as ‘Store view’). In order to
configure each simulator, simply select the appropriate unit from
the drop down list (see below)
If at any time you wish to return to the RMT environment, click the
‘Back to RMT’ button. Conversely, if you wish to return to the web
simulation, click the ‘Open Web browser’ button

Once database download is done, the front end will now reset.
This allows the process of updating the program to complete.
Note: If updating the application using the ‘csi file, you would
still need to load any EDF or Web files separately using RMT’s File
Management. However, loading of the ‘mai’ file includes these so
no separate steps required.
Overwrite finished. The unit will now reset to process the update.
DONE!
Once translation is
complete, Save to Unit
The Front End can support a total of 5 web graphic views (Jpeg’s)
for the web browser and 5 ‘Viz’ (custom bit maps) for each
front end local display. In addition to a graphical image, system
parameters can be mapped to display current temperatures and
status. This may serve as an easy means to display critical data on
the local and web screens. If no graphic is loaded, a factory logo
will be seen in the system view screen.

It has been detected that depensing on PC configuration and version of Windows there may be spurious issues when creating
custom graphic folders and files. Danfoss recommends the use of a USB flash drive to store your graphical files
When designing any custom graphics for the front end local
screen, be aware of the size limitations - see above table.
If you intend to have both a custom graphic in the web and local
screen, start with the web file first (this should be a Jpeg), then
convert to Bitmap and correct file size for the local screen
Use open source graphic editors to manage your files, there are
several options available on the Internet
When designing graphics for the front end web (Jpeg file) try and
limit the file size as this will ensure quick download (bigger file
sizes will take longer to download when connecting).
NOTE:
- When viewing the local screen graphic only datapoints from the
target front end will be shown. Only local datapoints from this
unit can be mapped.
When viewing the Web graphics window, you will see ALL Front
End units (if connected). Under the Web graphics screen you
may map ANY datapoint from ANY front end controller.
With the address book visible, enter the system IP address and
user name and password.
