SUEN262 2006-09
Dynamic DNS
Since the ADSL modem is changing IP addresses frequently the router has to support
Dynamic DNS.
Explanation of Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS is a system that allows the domain name data held in a name server to
be updated in real time. The most common use for this is allowing an Internet Domain
Name to be assigned to a computer with varying IP addresses. This makes it possible
for other sites on the Internet to establish connections to the machine without needing
to track the IP address themselves.
There are many different Dynamic DNS providers. This is often offered as a service
free of charge. Check the IP address of the router and visit for example www.dyndns.org
to register the IP address with a name.
Under the Advanced tab of the router configuration, select DDNS in the left-hand
menu.
Enter your DDNS provider, and the user name and password that you got when
registering your IP address at the DDNS provider. When the router is assigned a
new IP address it will automatically tell the DDNS server the new IP address.
In some routers there is a setting called auto-reconnect. Enabling this makes the router
reconnect automatically if the connection to Internet is closed.
4.3
Security
It is recommended to use passwords for all functionality in the operator terminal. If the
FTP or Web server functions are used, it is also strongly recommended to change ports
from port 20, 21and 80 to other ports, since most hacker attacks are made towards
these ports.
In computer networks, a DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a computer host or small network inserted as a neutral zone between a companys private network and the outside
public network. If the terminal is placed in the DMZ zone it will be exposed to a lot of
traffic.
SU_Template_EN_0609
Note:
The DMZ functionality in the router is not to be used under any circumstances.

SUEN263 2006-10
This document describes different ways to download an Information Designer project

to an EXTER operator terminal, especially in comparison to download methods of a
CIMREX PROG project to a CIMREX operator terminal.

refer to the Information Designer reference manual (MA00749C). This document and
other Start Up documents can be downloaded from www.beijerelectronics.com.
Downloading the Project via Serial Cable
With CIMREX operator terminals, the most common way to download projects is via
serial cable. With EXTER 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 EXTER operator terminal is a standard PC port.
On the CIMREX 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 CIMREX operator terminals, does
not work to program an EXTER operator terminal. CAB30 is recommended instead.
It is also possible to combine a CAB5 and a CAB12 that crosses pin 2 and 3.

SUEN263 2006-10
Downloading the Project via Ethernet
The most efficient way to download the project to the EXTER 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 terminal 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.

Twisted pair cable

Operator terminal
PC
Crossover twisted pair cable

Operator terminal
PC
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 address 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 terminal, 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

SUEN263 2006-10
Downloading the Project via External

Memory
Another possibility when downloading the project to the EXTER 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 Information Designer is available, or when bringing a PC is not possible.
Note:
The EXTER K30, EXTER T40, EXTER K60 and EXTER T60 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 Information Designer 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
Information Designer, and unchecking Load project automatically on detection.

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.

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 address 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 terminal, even if it is 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

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.
Downloading the Project via External

Memory
Another possibility when downloading the project to the EXTER 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 Information Designer is available, or when bringing a PC is not possible.
Note:
The EXTER K30, EXTER T40, EXTER K60 and EXTER T60 operator terminals are not
equipped with a Compact Flash memory card slot, but a USB memory stick can be used.
4.1
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 Information Designer project.
Select Transfer/Export Project Transfer File.
Page 5 (6)

Operator Terminal
SUEN264 2007-01
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
Information Designer, and unchecking Load project automatically on detection.

3.2 Configure the communication properties.

3.2.1 Set up communication.
Communication to the controller can me made via Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP. This chapter
will describe how to set up the EXTER terminal
Setting up the HC900 controller we refer to the HC900 Communications Manual number 5152-25-111
Modbus RTU use the serial communication RS232 or RS422/485. Using RS232 the serial
programming cable for the HC900 can be used.
RS422/485 the following cable should be used

For Modbus TCP you use a standard cross over CAT 5 cable if connection is made direct
between the HMI and the HC900. If a HUB is used in-between a straight CAT 5 cable should be
used from the HMI and the HC900 to the HUB.
Setting up the communication properties for the HMI is made under peripherals in the project
manager.
3 (3)

Mark the controller and select which port you want to use for communication.
If we select Ethernet communication dont forget to change the terminals IP address to the same
subnet as your controller
4 (4)

3.2.2 Set up the controller properties to match HC900 Modbus properties.
Mark the controller and right click, a new dialog will open showing the driver properties
Under the Modbus protocol you select RTU (serial) or TCP (Ethernet) depending of your
communication route. In this example we will set up Ethernet.
Set up the IP address for your controller under the TCP tab
Mark the node 0 and change your IP address to your controllers IP address, press change when done.
5 (5)

Under the Addressing tab you set the following parameters to match the HC900 Modbus configuration
At last we change the Data Format to Intel format so the High byte and Low byte are displayed correct.
6 (6)
3.3 Address tags in the HC900 controller

The HC900 controller has two types of tags, Signal Tags and Variable Tags. All tags are float
sign based.
Signal Tags can only be viewed in the HMI, they are not writable. If trying to write to a Signal
Tag you will get an error. Signal Tags are often used to view physical Inputs and Output values
from Functions in your HC900 program.
The Variable Tags are read and writable and is often used as physical Outputs or Input value for
Functions in your HC900 program
3.3.1 Set up an analog signal in Information Designer.

Example tag in HC900 Modbus address is 8207
Addressing in the HMI is then made with an analog numeric object like this.
The 4 in the beginning decide that it is a Holding Register in the Modbus standard. The address
is then written as 408207. Also dont forget to change the presentation format to Float without
exp. (Default signed 16-bit)
If a variable tag is used you should tick the Enable operator input box under the Access Tab so
the object is writable in the HMI. Address in the HMI is written the same way with a 4 in the
beginning
7 (7)

3.3.2 Set up a digital signal in Information Designer.
Example tag in HC900 Modbus address is 6337
Addressing in the HMI is then made with a digital text object like this.
The 4 in the beginning decide that it is a Holding Register in the Modbus standard. The last digit
is the bit which has to be added in the digital objects. The address is then written like this
406337.0. Writable in HMI tick the Enable operator input box under Access tab.
8 (8)

Using a touch/function key to set/reset a bit you write like this. The last bit should then not be
used.
When you are done your screen can look like this
Transfer the project to your HMI and connect the HMI to your HC900 controller.
Communication and reading values from the HC900 should start OK.
If you get a Comm Error in the top left corner please check your cables and Ethernet/serial com
port settings in Information Designer. If serial communication is used please check that the
HC900 controllers Modbus slave number match the number in the HMI (default the HMI
communicates to the Modbus slave number 2).

KI00245 2004-05
Function and area of use
The Allen-Bradley DF1 protocol is available for all the operator terminals in the
CIMREX-series. When connecting the operator terminal to the Allen-Bradley
ControlLogix controllers using the protocol DF1 via serial cable, a mapping must be
made in the Allen-Bradley Logix system.
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 manual for the operator terminals. This document and other Start-Up
documents can be downloaded from www.beijerelectronics.com.
Please use the address manuals@beijerelectronics.com for feedback on our Start-Up
documents.
Technical description
The Allen-Bradley ControlLogix controllers use a tag-based addressing which is not

supported in the DF1 protocol. To be able to communicate using the protocol AllenBradley DF1 via serial cable the Allen-Bradley DF1 addresses must be mapped to the
controller tags in the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix system.

3.2
Mapping PLC/SLC addresses to controller tags
Map the controller tags to DF1 addresses by selecting Map PLC/SLC Messages from
the Logic menu.
For each file that is referenced to a PLC-5 or SLC command a map entry must be made.
Type the file number of the logical
address in the File Number field,
e.g. 7 for Integer N7.
Type or select the global tag that
supplies or receives data for the
file number, in the Tag Name field.
Multiple files can be mapped to the
same tag.
For PLC 2 Commands, specify the

tag that supplies or receives the data, in the PLC 2 Mapping Tag name
field.
MallKI_BE_eng_0304
It is recommended to use an array as the address cross-reference to make an easy transfer

between the SLC addresses and the global controller tags. The file number 0-8 must be
equivalent to the fixed file type in the DF1 protocol (see the help file for more information).
Page 3 (4)

ControlLogix
KI00245 2004-05
Example
Use a 16-bit signed one-dimensional array for the tag name and reference it to file 7.
Since the array type is 16-bit signed the equivalent file type is N.
If you have an array name of Integer_Array(256), the map would look like this:
File Number = 7
Integer_Array
N7:0 = Integer_Array(0)
.
Example
Using an array of REAL devices instead would give following map:
File Number = 8
ex. Float_Array
F8:0 = Float_Array(0)
.
MallKI_BE_eng_0304
When all the desired mapping is finished, the controller project is transferred to the
Allen-Bradley ControlLogix system.

Web functions are included in the EXTER panels. It is possible via Internet, Intranet or a direct modem
connection to remotely control your operator terminal via a browser. Also, it is possible to monitor and set
data in the controller, transfer alarm messages, recipe and trend files and of course send e-mail. The operator
terminal can either be directly connected via Ethernet or via a standard telephone modem.

Page 3 (11)
FTP Server
The built-in FTP server enables trend files, recipes and the alarm list in the operator terminal to be
transferred to a PC using FTP file transfer. Likewise, recipes and dynamic bitmaps can be transferred to the
operator panel from a PC.
Setup FTP Server

The FTP server in the operator panel allows transfers in passive mode (PASV) which should be used if the
operator panel is not connected Point-to-Point.
Simply enable FTP server in the Setup Network Services menu and use a standard FTP client or CIMREX
tools to access the panel. The operator panels FTP server can handle a maximum of three connected clients
at the same time.
When connected some libraries can show files with a length of 0 due to the file contains dynamic data, i.e.
the size of the file changes. This also means that even if the length is 0 the file may not be empty. The
operator panel does not use the date on the files with the result time stamp on the files is not accurate. The
operator panel can save the contents in all files, which can be reached through FTP or accessed on an
external memory card with different types of delimiter characters (separators).
The properties for FTP delimiter characters are made under Setup/Terminal

Page 4 (11)
Control port number

The default value is 21 and should not be changed.
Data port number
The default value is 20 and should not be changed.
Request login
You indicate here whether the user must login to access the FTP server. Users are defined under
Setup/Network/Accounts
Pre-login text
Text shown before request for the user to login. E.g. The operator panel requires login, specify login
information.
Post-login text
Text shown when user has logged in. E.g. You are now logged in.
Connection timeout (min.)
The time the FTP connection is allowed to be inactive before the FTP server breaks the connection. The
default value is 10 minutes.
Note: If you select that users do not need to login, all users will have full access to the FTP server.

Page 5 (11)
SMTP Client
The EXTER panel can send alarms and reports as e-mails anywhere in the world. Trend and recipe files can
be attached to provide further information. E-mails can also be forwarded from a PC to a cell phone in the
form of a SMS message. This opens up new possibilities, for example can the production manager receive a
production report every day and the maintenance engineer can view the alarms on his PC.
Setup SMPT client

To use the SMTP client function it is necessary to have access to an e-mail server; your Internet providers email server or a local.
A maximum of 20 messages can be sent at the same time and you can include trend and recipe files attached
in the mail or have an alarm message sent through e-mail. The complete alarm list can be sent by sending
block 990 and each alarm can be connected to one or more of the e-mail addresses. Below a short description
of the SMTP client service settings and how to configure mails in block properties.

Page 6 (11)
Server port
Connection port 25. Does not normally need to be changed.
Mail server
The IP address to the e-mail server or the alias name (DNS server) for the SMTP e-mail server.*
Authentication
Used if the mail server demands SMTP Authentication (With SMTP Authentication, a user has to identify
itself and, after a successful authentication, the reception of e-mails is granted
My e-mail address
Enter your e-mail address. The name is shown as sender for the recipient.
Send via connection
Indicate which TCP/IP connection should be used to send.
Pre-defined recipients
A pre-defined list of a maximum of 16 recipients, e-mail addresses which the operator panel is to send e-mail
to.
* If you specify an alias name, the IP address to the DNS server must be given under
Setup/Network/TCP/IP Connections.

Page 7 (11)
Sending a Text report

The EXTER panel can send text blocks as reports containing both static text and dynamic information in
the form of ASCII strings and devises in the connected PLC. You configure a Text report create by creating
a text block and makes the necessary configurations under the E-Mail tab in Block Properties. Every thing
shown in the text block will be sent when the Send mail signal is triggered.
Send mail signal

The message is sent when the given digital signal is set to one.
Mail completion signal
A digital signal activated by the operator panel when the message has been sent. (True = mail sent)
Mail to address
The address of the e-mail recipient is given here. You can select up to 8 recipients from the list.
Attach file
The name of a trend or recipe file to be attached with the message is given here.

Page 8 (11)
Remote Access
The built in VNC server of the EXTER panel allows for full control of the HMI from any computer with a
VNC Clint program like Remote Access Viewer from Beijer Electronics or any web browser with Microsoft
Java Machine installed.
Setup Remote Access

Enter Setup/Network/Services and check box for Remote Access
Click Edit and enter preferably passwords.
Only one VNC client can connect to the VNC server at any given time. To avoid that a connected client has
forgot to disconnect and locks the connection, the VNCDx command can be used.
Select Setup/System Signals and type VNCDx on the Commands line, where x represents a bit device.
The current VNC session will be disconnected when the bit device x is set.

Page 9 (11)
Note:
To protect secrecy when entering a password via Remote Access Viewer, it is recommended to use the PC
keyboard. Otherwise it is possible that the cursor on the remote operator panel displays which keys are
pressed on the alphanumeric keyboard.

Page 10 (11)
Web Server
The operator terminal can act as web server and store HTML pages that contain real-time data from the
operator terminal and the connected controller system. With this technology, remote monitoring and
control is easily achievable wherever you are. Values can be changed, signals can be set, alarms can be
acknowledged through scripts, via Internet, using a web browser etc.
Setup Web Server

First enable the web server function in the Setup/Network services menu.
If you like to protect the HTML pages in the operator panel with a password, click Edit and select an
account name.
The default port number is 80 and does not normally need to be changed.
If you do not have any defined accounts, see section Network/Accounts for settings.
The data files handled by the web server are stored in the HTML directory where subdirectories can be
created. The start file (the HTML page shown as the first web page in the web browser) must always be
called index.html. By default, the operator panels diagnostic page is set as index.html. If another start page is
required, replace the index.html file.
The file format depends on the type of file. A standardized file format such as HTML is used here. The name
of the files should be in DOS 8.3 format, i.e. a maximum of 8 characters and the extension html.
To transfer HTML files to the operator panel use a standard FTP client program. The files are transferred to
the HTML directory in the operator panels file system.

Page 11 (11)
Network Accounts
Under Setup/Network/Accounts, you define who is allowed to access the services in the operator panels
which require login. The function is used to create an authorization check, i.e. you create a name and
password for different users who need to have access to different services in the network. Account names and
passwords must not contain national characters.
Account name
Enter a name (user name) for the account.
Password
Enter a password for the account.
Access rights
-Serial connect
The user can use serial connection (PPP). Should be checked.
-Access terminal controller
The user can implement RUN/TRANSFER switching through TCP/IP. Should be checked.
-FTP access
The user can read from the FTP server (the operator panel).
-FTP write
The user can write to the FTP server. Also requires FTP access.
In accordance with the image, the account name Super user is authorized for all network functions requiring
login. You can update, add on and remove accounts from the list with the buttons.

Introduction
Does your process require continuous collection of process data? Then Beijer Electronics Data
Collector can help you save a lot of valuable time. The software enables you to automatically collect
and store process data, recipes and alarm data from your application anywhere in the world. The
information can be transferred over a local network, the internet or a modem and the collected data is
stored in a database of your choice, e.g. SQL, Access or MSDE.
Once you have set the parameters, such as what data to save and the sampling intervals, it all runs
automatically. The software also provides presentation of the collected data in graphs and tables, so
that you easily can get an overview of the stored values.

Page 3 (7)
Creating an BE data collector project

All information about an operator panel is defined on the Terminals tab. When all the information is
entered click the Save button. Clicking Cancel cancels all changes made (except new RAS connections
in Windows.)
If changes are made and the Cancel button is clicked, a message will appear notifying about unsaved
changes.
Importing an Information designer project
Click the Import from project button to import all the settings from an operator panel project.
Choose a project from the open file dialog and click Open.
Enter a name for the operator panel or click OK.
If the operator panel project has settings to allow connection both by PPP and Ethernet, the program
will ask which one to use. (This can be changed later.) If the operator panel project has support for
multiple languages, the program will ask for the default language to use for alarm group names and
alarm texts.
If PPP was selected, the program will ask if the settings for the PPP connection should be completed
now. (These settings can be changed later.) An operator panel will be added to the list in the Terminals
window, containing information about IP-address, username, password, trends and alarms. The trend
curves will have the names of the signals that the operator panel uses.

Page 4 (7)
Configuring the Database

Beijer Electronics Data collector can use four different data connections.
Database Maintenance
There are two methods for database maintenance:
Backup (for Microsoft Access only)
Deletion of old records; both trend and alarm data will be affected.

Page 5 (7)
The setting for the backup operation is a backup directory where the backup copy of the Microsoft
Access database should be stored. The database copy will have the current date as file name, e.g. 2005
10-31.mdb. Click the browse button next to the field for backup directory to select a directory.
Check Backup to enable the backup operation.
The setting for the deletion operation is a numerical value. E.g. if the value is set to 1 day, then records
older than 1 day will be deleted. (If the deletion operation runs at 2005-02-23 14:30:00, records older
than 2005-02-22 00:00:00 will be deleted).
If a Microsoft Access database is used, the database will be compacted when the deletion operation has
finished.
Check Delete records older than to enable the deletion function.
It is possible to run the enabled functions manually by clicking the Manual button. If a backup file
with the file name already exists, a warning will be displayed.
The enabled functions can run automatically if Automatic is checked.
The settings for automatic maintenance are a value for interval in days and a start date and time.
Example: If the interval is set to 1 day and start date and time is set to 2005-11-01 23:00:00, automatic
maintenance will run once every day and the first time will be at 2005-11-01 23:00:00.
The program will update the start date and time when the maintenance is finished. If automatic backup
is executing and a file with that name already exists, the file will be overwritten by the new file.

Page 6 (7)
General settings
The program automatically collects data from all enabled operator panels, with no collection interval
of their own enabled, with the interval set up on this tab.
First select the interval of the automatic collection. Days, Hours or Minutes can be
selected.
Then enter values for the fields Collect every and start date and time.
Example: If the Collection interval is set to Days, the Collect every to 7, and start date and
time is 2005-11-01 05:00:00, the automatic collection will run once every week, starting at 2005-11-01
05:00:00. The program will update the date and time value for next collection when the collection has
been done. In the example the next date and time will be set to 2005-11-08 05:00:00.

Page 7 (7)
Collect Recipes
To ensure that the recipes in the collection directory are the same as the current ones
in the operator panel, check Collect recipes.
A folder with the operator panel name will be created in the specified collection directory, and the
operator panel recipe structure will be created in this folder. This structure will be recreated every time
a collection occurs. This means that only recipes existing in the operator panel at the collection time
will be found in this directory. The recipe structure to notify the user that the contents of the recipe
structure is not identical to the operator panel.
Backup Recipes
To create a backup set of the recipes, check Backup recipes and specify a backup directory.
This cannot be the same as the recipe collection directory (or a subdirectory to the recipe collection
directory) since the collection directory is recreated when collection occurs. All recipes collected from
the operator panel will be copied (overwritten) to this directory. This means that the latest version of a
recipe in the operator panel is also kept in the PC.

Driver Performance
Different signal types
Driver communication is divided in two types of devises, Static and Dynamic and these are updated in different
ways.
Static devices
Static devices are always updated even if the are not shown on the HMI screen. This type of devices is
connected to Trends, Data logging, Alarms, Data Exchange and system devices.
Dynamic devices
Dynamic devices are only updated when they are shown on the screen and a good example of this type of signal
is an Analog numeric; it is only updated when it is shown on the screen.
Keep the devices in consecutive order

When the devices are transferred to the controller, all devices are not transferred simultaneously.
Instead they are divided into packages with a number of devices in each package. To decrease the
number of packages that have to be transferred and make the communication faster this number has to
be considered. The number of devices in each package depends on the used driver and information
about this can be found in the driver help for the used driver.
To make the communication as fast as possible the number of packages has to be minimized.
Consecutive devices require a minimum of used packages but it is not always possible to have
consecutive devices. In such cases the so-called waste between two devices has to be considered. The
Waste
Waste is the maximum distance between two devices and still keeps them in the same package. The
waste depends on the used driver and information about this can be found in the driver help for the
used driver.

Page 3 (5)
PREN1111 2008-11
Bit-addressed words compared to normal bit-devices

In most drivers it is better to use bit addressed words instead of normal bit devices. The reason for this is that
when using bit address words you can fit more digital devices in one telegram compared to using bit devices.
Example:
This specific driver can have 29 Analog devices in one telegram or 124 Digital devices. If you where to use bit
addressed word devices in the selected driver you could fit 464 (29*16) digital devices in one package. This is
almost four times as many devices.
ASCII Strings
ASCII strings are transmitted in separate telegrams and having a large number of strings will affect the
communication performance in a bad way. If an ASCII string only has a small number of different string values
then it may be a good idea to use Message library with predetermined content to maximize driver
performance.
Poll groups
The standard setting in Information designer is that all devises updates every 50ms. If there are certain devices
that dont need to be updated this fast it is possible to assign them to a poll group and slow down the update
time. Poll groups are configured in the I/O Browser.

PREN1111 2008-11
Screen update time

Optimizing screen update time has to do with minimizing CPU loads and Flash operations. This can make a big
difference in a graphics intense project that approaches the limits of the panels capabilities.
Resize symbols
The resize function in Information designer is a good function to use if a small number of symbols are use. If
you are planning on incorporation a large number a symbols it is recommended to change the size before using
the symbol in the application. This can have a huge difference on the performance of the panel.
Gradients
Using objects with gradients creates a slightly higher load on CPU and if a large number of them are used it will
make the screen update time noticeably slower.
Trends and Data logger

Using a lot of trends and data loggers will cause the panel to do a lot of flash operations and thereby slowing
down the screen update time. On way to remedy this is the only store changed samples instead of all samples
and thereby reducing the number of flash operations.
Mode Switches on the EXTER Operator

Panels
The EXTER operator panels have four mode switches (DIP switches) located on the rear side of
the operator panel.

Recycling
Environmental Impact
The products consist largely of aluminum. It

is a great advantage from the viewpoint of
both resources and the environment if this
can be recycled. Make sure that the worn out
product goes to a facility for electronic scrap.
A product has an impact on the environment

throughout its entire life cycle. An operator
panel impacts on the environment through
its function, i.e. controlling industrial equipment. The energy and the scrapped parts that
can be saved with efficient controls mean
that the product contributes to a reduced environmental burden.
Beijer Electronics electronic waste is

recycled by Stena Technoworld AB.
Aluminum front/rear casing and other covers
can be removed and recycled.
Any plastic display frame and the CF cover
must be sorted as solid plastic.
The circuit board contains many valuable
metals and should therefore be recycled.
Remove the lithium battery.
Electrolytic capacitors and displays are
currently not classified as hazardous waste,
but may be harmful to health and the environment. The electrolytic capacitors should
be handled as per Handbook 2001:7 (NFS)
and displays as per NFS 2001:8.
Opportunities to reduce environmental burden during use

Switch the system off when it is not in
use.
The fluorescent tube must be handled as

hazardous waste.
Use energy-saving options, e.g. turn off

backlighting to both save energy and
reduce wear on the fluorescent tube.
The packaging is made from wood fiber and

should be recycled. However, the large printed label on the front must first be removed,
as it is made of PVC vinyl. The label and the
plastic bag for the brackets are sorted as soft
plastic.
Beijer Electronics is a member of the REPA
register.
The protective film on the front is sorted as
soft plastic.
When the product is no longer useful it can
be returned to Beijer Electronics for environmentally responsible recycling. Contact the
company for further information.

Internal Compact Flash Memory Card in

the EXTER Operator Panels
An internal Compact Flash memory card can be used in the EXTER K70, EXTER K100, EXTER T70, EXTER T100 and EXTER T150 operator panels for expansion of the project memory.
Note:
When using an internal Compact Flash memory card, no external Compact Flash memory card can
be used. An external USB Flash drive can be used for the same functions as an external Compact
Flash card.
Compact Flash cards of type I and II are supported.

Compact Flash cards of the following brands and models are recommended:
SiliconSystems SiliconDrive
SanDisk Industrial Grade
Cactus 203-, 302- and 303series
Due to product changes and upcoming brands, other Compact Flash cards may be approved as
EXTER accessories even if they are not present in the above list.
Installation
Perform the following steps to install an internal Compact Flash card in the operator panel:
1. Turn off the power to the panel.
Note:
Make sure to use adequate ESD protection.
2. Remove the back cover on the panel, using a torx screwdriver (T10*50).
4 torx screws
3. Flip the back cover; the CPU board is mounted inside the back cover.
4. Insert the Compact Flash memory card in its slot on the CPU board.

EXTER Pro+ Information Document

Using an EXTER Pro+ operator panel gives you all the functionality of the standard EXTER
family and also makes it possible to view external files such as PDF files, HTML pages and
PowerPoint presentations directly in the operator panel.
The following EXTER Pro+ operator panel models are available:
Operator panel
Comment
EXTER T70 Pro+

EXTER T100 Pro+
EXTER T150 Pro+
EXTER K70 Pro+
EXTER K100 Pro+

For configuration of the EXTER Pro+ operator panels, Information Designer of version 1.20 or
higher has to be used.
This document includes limitations and other important information regarding EXTER Pro+
operator panels.
General
If sufficient memory for temporary file storage is not available in a panel, very large PDF and
PowerPoint documents, or PDF and PowerPoint documents that contain large graphical
elements may not open, or may not display all of the contents. Opening such documents will
also affect the performance of the panel application. This can be avoided by decreasing the
quality of the graphical elements, or by splitting large documents into smaller documents.
When connecting to an EXTER Pro+ panel via VNC using Remote Access Viewer, it is not
possible to see applications. If PowerPoint, PDF Viewer or Internet Explorer is opened in the
panel or from the Remote Access Viewer, the application will not be displayed in the Viewer.
In an EXTER Pro+ panel, the amount of free application memory is 8 MB. A standard
EXTER panel has 12 MB of free application memory. This means that in some cases, an
application created in Information Designer can be too large. No warning will be displayed
in Information Designer.
Sometimes the Internet Explorer window is not shown. It will be active behind another window. If this happens, a reboot of the panel is necessary.
If the project is received from the panel to a PC, the macro settings are missing.
Under some circumstances Internet Explorer can hang, and the following text is displayed:
Close IE-application. If this happens, a reboot of the panel is necessary.
Favorites in Internet Explorer will disappear when recycling the power.

EXTER Pro+ Information Document

Font Recommendations
Windows CE does not provide the same set of fonts that is available on Windows-based desktop
operating systems. If the original font used in a document is not available, the file viewers show
the closest possible approximation of the original format. This means that characters in documents can be missing or get an incorrect look.
Microsoft PDF Viewer

Microsoft PDF Viewer does not support the following functionality:
Encrypted files
Annotations
Transitions
CCITTFaxDecode images
Acrobat Forms. Content from forms, including images, is not displayed.
Clip paths
Predictive GZIP decoding and CMYK JPEGs
Microsoft PDF Viewer operates with the following limitations:
Poly-polygons are treated as polygons and therefore may have interiors filled.
Embedded TrueType fonts are not used; instead they are mapped to existing fonts already
installed on the system.
Colors from unsupported color spaces, such as ICCBased or DeviceN color, may be displayed incorrectly.
Text rotation is only shown in 90-degree increments.
Type 1 fonts are mapped using either the encoding or Unicode mappings if possible.
Type 3 fonts are not supported, but some attempt is made to map them if a Unicode mapping exists.
Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer

Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer does not support the following functionality:
Hyper links
WordArt. Plain text is substituted for WordArt.
Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer does not support the following functionality:
Web sites containing JAVA or Flash
