1. DESIGNER verscus Information Designer User s Guide Preface Information Designer is a software application for the configuration of CIMREX and EXTER operator terminals Information Designer helps you create logical flexible and effective HMI applications that provide the right information on the right occasion to operators and other systems This manual is based on an example project that the user completes step by step Information Designer also includes a Reference Manual MA00749 Beijer Electronics AB MA00750A 2005 02 The information in this document is subject to change without notice and is provided as available at the time of printing Beijer Electronics reserves the right to change any informa tion without updating this publication Beijer Electronics assumes no resposibility for any er rors that may appear in this document All examples in this manual are only intended to improve understanding of the functionality and use of the software Beijer Electronics AB cannot assume any liability if these examples are used in actual applications In view of the wide range of applications for this software users must acquire sufficient knowledge themselves in order to ensure that the software is correctly used in their specific application Beijer Electronics AB will accept no liability for any damage incurred during the installation or use of this software Beijer Electronics AB prohibits all modific2. The Operator Terminal as an FTP 15 The Operator Terminal as an FTP Server FTP File Transport Protocol is a standard Internet protocol When the operator terminal works as an FIP server it is possible to upload download files to from the operator terminal e g recipe files An FTP client is required in order to upload download files CIMREX Tools Internet Explorer Windows Commander or some other standard FTP program can be used as the FTP client The FTP server in the operator terminal only allows transfers in passive mode The operator terminal does not utilize the date stamps on files The date shown in the FTP client shall therefore be ignored Language specific characters are not supported in file names The files in the different librar ies in the operator terminal allocate memory from the project memory Information on the available project memory is included in the file in fo txt 15 1 Activate FTP Server 1 Select Setup Network Services 2 Select FTP Server 3 Click Exit Setup Network Services Available network services Application transfer server BDTP client BDTP server FTP server Internet server SMTP client Terminal controller Beijer Electronics MA00750A 33 Fig 1 The file structure in the operator terminal 34 Beijer Electronics MA00750A Beijer Electronics HMI Products is a pioneer in connecting people with the processes they control Our HMI soluti
