Downloading Projects to an E1000 KI00263 2006-10

Operator Terminal

1 Function and Area of Use

This document describes different ways to download an E-Designer 7 project to an
E1000 operator terminal, especially in comparison to download methods of an
E-Designer project of previous versions to an E-series operator terminal.

2 About this Start Up Document

This Start Up document should not be considered as a complete manual. It is an aid to
be able to start up a normal application quickly and easily. For further information we
refer to the E-Designer 7 reference manual. Cable drawings are available in the cable
guide at www.support.beijer.se.

3 Downloading the Project via Serial Cable

With E-series operator terminals, the most common way to download projects is via
serial cable. With E1000 operator terminals, the most efficient download method is to
use the built-in Ethernet port, but serial download is also possible.

3.1 Serial Connection via the RS232 Port

The RS232 port (9-pin D-sub) on the E1000 operator terminal is a standard PC port.
On the E-series operator terminal, pin 2 and 3, as well as pin 7 and 8, are alternated.
Because of this, CAB5, that is used to program the E-series operator terminals, does not
work to program an E1000 operator terminal. CAB30 is recommended instead. It is
also possible to combine a CAB5 and a CAB12 that crosses pin 2 and 3.

3.2 Serial Connection via the RS422 Port
Downloading projects via the RS422 port works in the same way as via the RS232 port,
but another cable is used. CAB6 is used to connect the E1000 operator terminals, as
well as the E-series operator terminals, serially to a PC.

3.3 Settings in E-Designer 7

Regardless if the RS232 or the RS422 port is used, the same settings are to be made in
E-Designer 7.
– Select Transfer/Project.
– Click Settings.
– Select Use serial transfer, and then indicate which port and baud rate to be used.
A baud rate up to 115 200 bit/s can be selected. Click OK.

– Check Send complete project and then click Send to transfer the project to the
operator terminal.

The operator terminal automatically changes to transfer mode, and receives the project.

4 Downloading the Project via Ethernet
The most efficient way to download the project to the E1000 operator terminal is to
use the built-in Ethernet card. The operator terminal is configured with a default IP
address (192.168.1.1) at delivery, which can be changed if desired. The operator ter-
minal can easily be programmed via Ethernet, by following the steps below.

4.1 Connection to the Built-in Ethernet Port

To program the operator terminal via Ethernet, an Ethernet connection is needed in
the PC, and also a hub or switch, or a crossover twisted pair cable.

If the PC is not equipped with a network interface card, or the card in the PC is
configured to be connected to an office network, CAB35 can be connected instead.
CAB35 is a USB to Ethernet adapter and appears as an extra network interface card in
the PC when connected.

4.2 Settings in the Operator Terminal

At delivery, the IP address of the operator terminal is displayed on the welcome page,
that is appears when power is connected to the operator terminal. To change the IP ad-
dress from the welcome page, press Enter on a key terminal, or touch anywhere on the
display of a touch terminal.
It is also possible to change the IP address from the same menu in the operator termi-
nal, even if it already loaded with a project, by setting switch 1 at the rear side of the
operator terminal and then rebooting.
– Select TCP/IP settings and enter the desired IP address and subnet mask. In this
example the following settings are made:
Parameter Setting

IP address 192.168.1.1

Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

The first three groups of numbers in the IP address (192.168.1) is the network address,
and the last group (1) is the address of the operator terminal.

4.3 Settings in the PC
For the PC to be able to communicate with the operator terminal it needs to use the
same network address as the operator terminal, and a unique address. In this Windows
XP example the following settings are made:
Parameter Setting
IP address 192.168.1.10

Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

– Select Start/Control Panel/Network Connections.

– Right-click on the network interface card and select Properties.

– Select Use the following address and fill in the IP address and subnet mask.

4.4 Settings in E-Designer 7
– Select Transfer/Project.
– Click Settings and select Use TCP/IP transfer. Click OK.

– Check Send complete project and then click Send to transfer the project to the
operator terminal.

– A dialog is displayed, asking to which IP address to send the project. Make sure that
the IP address of the operator terminal is selected; if not, change it. Click OK.

The operator terminal automatically changes to transfer mode, and receives the project.

5 Downloading the Project via External
Memory
Another possibility when downloading the project to the E1000 operator terminal is to
use an external memory; a Compact Flash card or a USB memory stick. This can be
convenient for example when upgrading an existing project in an establishment where
no PC with E-Designer 7 is available, or when bringing a PC is not possible.
Note:
The E1032, E1041, E1043, E1060, E1061 and E1063 operator terminals are not equipped
with a Compact Flash memory card slot, but a USB memory stick can be used.

5.1 Loading the External Memory with the Project

To be able to load the operator terminal with a project from an external memory, a
transfer file has to be created to be saved on the memory.
– Connect the external memory to the PC.
– Open the desired E-Designer 7 project.
– Select Transfer/Export Project Transfer File.
– Select the external memory as destination of the transfer file, and click Save.

– A .dat file is now created on the memory.

– Connect the operator terminal to power, and the connect the external memory.
The memory is detected. If it is the first time to connect the external memory to an
operator terminal, a dialog will be displayed, asking if a structure is to be created on
the memory. Select Yes.
– The project is now loaded in the operator terminal.
This procedure works on the operator terminal at delivery without any configuration.
The function can be turned off, if desired, by selecting Setup/Terminal Options in
E-Designer 7, and unchecking Load project automatically on detection.
