QuickPanel View Runtime Setup

To download a Machine Edition application to a QuickPanel View unit, you must

set up a data link between your development workstation and the QuickPanel unit.

For more information, see “Ethernet” (page 35) and look up “Downloading a

Machine Edition Project” in the Machine Edition online help.

Startup

When you first start up the QuickPanel View, a few configuration steps are

necessary.

To start the QuickPanel View

1. Apply DC power to the QuickPanel View.

Once power is applied, the QuickPanel View begins initializing. The first thing to

appear on the display is the splash screen.

Shutdown

There are no specific dangers associated with a power failure or other unplanned

shutdown of the QuickPanel View. In general, programs are retained in FLASH

memory and user data can be retained in battery-backed SRAM. Some operating

system settings are retained only with user intervention, so in order to carry out a

graceful shutdown of the QuickPanel View, we recommend you perform the

following procedure.

To shut down the QuickPanel View

1. Quit any programs that are running and wait for all file operations to complete.

2. If you have not changed operating system settings (e.g., brightness or touch screen sensitivity) or do not want to

save the changes, remove AC power from the 24VDC supply.

3. To save changes to operating system settings (e.g., brightness, touch screen sensitivity), run Backup (see page 12)

and then reboot the system (see page 14). When the Windows CE desktop reappears, remove AC power from the

24VDC supply.

Panel Cutout

For enclosure mounting, cut an opening in the panel according to the

specifications given with the following diagram.

Notes:

■ For compliance to NEMA 4. 4x, and 12 qualification, the unit must be mounted

in a comparably NEMA rated (IP56 equivalent) panel or enclosure.

■ For compliance to ATEX agency qualification, the unit must be mounted in an

IP66 panel or enclosure. It is recommended that a minimum panel thickness of

0.1” be used in ATEX applications.

Layout Diagram

In addition to the primary touch screen interface, the 10" or 12" QuickPanel View

supports a variety of communication ports including an expansion bus to allow

great flexibility in application. The following diagram shows the physical layout of

the QuickPanel View and the locations of ports and connections

The bottom LED is green when power is applied and amber if both backlights fail

(IC754VxI10MTD has one backlight);1 the top LED is tricolor (green, red, or

amber) and programmable.

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. The familiar look and feel of Windows CE shortens the learning

curve for users having experience with Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP. From a

software developer’s perspective, the CE environment is a subset of the WIN32

application programming interface, simplifying the porting of existing software

from other versions of Windows.

Stored in a 16 MB block of FLASH memory, the QuickPanel View operating system

is copied to DRAM for execution. The operating system starts automatically

following a power-up or reset of the QuickPanel View.

Working with Windows CE

When working with Windows CE on the QuickPanel View, user input is achieved

via the touch screen with a stylus or other suitable pointing device. The Soft Input

Panel (SIP) is used for character and numeric entry, or for entering keyboard

shortcuts. For more information on the Soft Input Panel, including a list of

keyboard shortcuts, see page 26.

1. Start Windows Explorer.

2. Navigate to the program you want to place in the Start menu.

3. Tap the program’s icon to select it.

4. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

5. Navigate to the ’WindowsPrograms‘ folder.

6. From the Edit menu, choose Paste Shortcut.

7. Run the Backup program to retain the change through a power cycle (see page 12).

Caution: Do not cycle power immediately after running Backup.
