1 Function and Area of Use

This document describes different ways to download an Information Designer projectto an EXTER operator terminal via Ethernet or via External memory.

2 About this Start Up Document

This Start Up document should not be considered as a complete manual. It is an aid tobe able to start up a normal application quickly and easily. For further information werefer to the Information Designer reference manual (MAEN749C). This documentand other Start Up documents can be downloaded from www.beijerelectronics.com.

3 Downloading the Project via Ethernet

The most efficient way to download the project to the EXTER operator terminal is touse the built-in Ethernet card. The operator terminal is configured with a default IPaddress (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.

3.1 Connection to the Built-in Ethernet Port

To program the operator terminal via Ethernet, an Ethernet connection is needed inthe 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 isconfigured 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 inthe PC when connected.

3.2 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 Enteron a key terminal, or touch anywhere on thedisplay 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 is already loaded with a project, by setting switch 1 at the rear side of theoperator terminal and then rebooting.

Select TCP/IP settingsand enter the desired IP address and subnet mask. In thisexample the following settings are made:

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.

Parameter Setting

IP address 192.168.1.1

Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

3.3 Settings in the PC

For the PC to be able to communicate with the operator terminal it needs to use thesame network address as the operator terminal, and a unique address. In this

Windows XP example the following settings are made:

Select Start/Control Panel/Network Connections.

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

Parameter Setting

IP address 192.168.1.10

Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

Check Send complete projectand then click Sendto transfer the project to theoperator terminal. The project will be saved and tested automatically.

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.

4 Downloading the Project via External

Memory

Another possibility when downloading the project to the EXTER operator terminal isto use an external memory; a Compact Flash card or a USB memory stick. This can beconvenient for example when upgrading an existing project in an establishment where

no PC with Information Designer is available, or when bringing a PC is not possible.

4.1 Loading the External Memory with the Project

To be able to load the operator terminal with a project from an external memory, atransfer file has to be created to be saved on the memory.

Connect the external memory to the PC.

Open the desired Information Designer project. Select Transfer/Export Project Transfer File.

Note:The EXTER K30, EXTER T40, EXTER K60 and EXTER T60 operator terminals are notequipped with a Compact Flash memory card slot, but a USB memory stick can be used.

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 anoperator terminal, a dialog will be displayed, asking if a structure is to be created onthe memory. SelectYes.

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 OptionsinInformation Designer, and unchecking Load project automatically on detection.
