1. IP address
2. Subnet mask
3. Default gateway
4. DNS settings for the Ethernet port on the operator panel

The default settings for LAN A is: IP address 192.168.1.1, Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

If the operator panel is equipped with two Ethernet ports, then a second tab is shown in the IP settings dialog. The default setting for LAN B is “Obtain an IP address via DCHP”.

Date / Time

The date/time settings dialog allows the setting of the Timezone, date, and time and also set automatic adjustment of the clock for daylight saving.

Edit Project

The edit project/restore image dialog allows modifying the project in an operator panel and, if needed, restoring the panel image to the previous version.

Copy Project from External Memory

This option enables the function to copy an iX Developer project from external memory, USB flash drive, or storage device connected to one of the operator panels’ USB ports.

Copy Project to SD Card

This option enables the function to copy the iX Developer project and all the files neededtoruntheapplicationtoanexternalSDCard.

Copy Project to USB

The iX Developer project and all the files needed to run the application are copied to an external USB flash drive or another USB-connected storage device. Make sure
that the storage device is connected before trying this option.

Delete Project

The iX Developer project and all its corresponding files are deleted from the operator panel. There is no way of undeleting a project, make sure that the project should be deleted before confirming the deletion.

Restore Panel to Previous Image

The operator panel image can be restored to the panel image version the operator panel was using before a new panel image was loaded into the operator panel. This option is used to restore a panel to a known working condition.

Restore Panel to Factory Image

The operator panel image can be restored to the panel image version that the operator panel was shipped with from the factory. Use this option if all else fails, this will downgrade the operator panel to its initial state.

Self Test

The self-test screen looks a little different depending on the operator panel type.
To be able to fully test the Carrier unit, a complete set of test plugs, SD- card, and a USB flash drive is needed.

Touch Calibrate

The touch calibration screen enables the function to recalibrate the touch screen.
The recalibration consists of five steps, where a crosshair on the screen is pressed and held. Take care and try to do this as precisely as possible, an incorrect calibration makes it hard to use the operator panel.

Debug Logging

The Debug Logging dialog enables the function to enable and disable the debug logging on the operator panel. It also enables the function to move a previously created set of debug log files from the operator panel to a USB flash drive.

debug log information in log files. A total of 10 log filesofamaximumof100kBperfile will be kept in the operator panel’s internal memory. If the log files are filled to the limit, the oldest file will be overwritten first.
This function should only be used for a limited time, as it will continuously write data to the flash memory and by that add to the flash memory wear.
Disable Logging| The operator panel stops storing debug log data.
The data will remain in the operator panel’s internal memory.
Move Log to USB Memory| Moves the debug log files in the operator panel to an external USB storage device.

Note:

The information (layout and number of screens) on the diagnostic screen pages appear differently depending on screen size. The screenshots above are taken from an X2 base 15 v2 HP operator panel.

Export Diagnostic Information

Click Save to USB memory to export the diagnostic information to an external USB flash drive or another USB-connected storage device. Make sure that the storage device is connected before trying this option.

Image Update

The operator panel comes pre-loaded on delivery with an image.
iX Runtime can be updated via Ethernet using a PC.
The Image Loader utility is used to create Image Loader SD cards and USB sticks or to transfer a panel image to an operator panel over Ethernet.

TheIMLcanbeupdatedinthefollowingways:

If you want a complete system update, choose Make Recovery SD Card. The
iX Developer will then be set to default settings, except for touch.

Updating the Panel Image using USB or SD-Card

preferred way

Using a USB flash drive or SD card to update the image in an operator panel is the preferred method of updating the panel. This makes it possible to upgrade the panel image without the use of a PC.

Note:
It is only the primary USB port that can be detected during start-up and therefore this USB port must be used. For HP models this is the port closest to the display. See figure.

Image + New iX Developer Project

It is possible to upgrade both the panel image and the iX Developer project on an operator panel. This is done in two steps:

1. Create a panel image USB flash drive or SD-card using the Image Loader utility.
2. Export the iX Developer project from within iX Developer, to that same USB flash drive or SD card.

Note:
It is only the primary USB port that can be detected during start-up and therefore this USB port must be used. For HP models this is the port closest to the display. See figure.

Updating the Panel Image over Ethernet

The Image Loader utility can be used to upgrade the panel image over Ethernet.

Note:
Before trying to update the panel over Ethernet, make sure that your PC is on the same IP subnet as the operator panel. If your panel has an IP address of 192.168.1.1, and
a netmask of 255.255.255.0, then your PC has to have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.2 – 192.168.1.254 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0, in order to be able to
communicate with the panel.

To enter the update mode on an iX TxA or X2 base, press a finger on the screen and apply power to the panel.

1. Enter the panel target IP address in the dialog and click on Update to start the update.
   

2. Make sure that the IP address of the panel matches the actual panel that you want to upgrade.
   

3. The dialog shows the currently installed image and the new image the panel will be updated to after the upgrade. Click on Update now! to confirm the update.

4. Theprogressbarshowstheupgradestatus. When the upgrade is done, the panel will restart.
   

 iX Developer Project Status after Panel Image Update

On X2 base v2 the iX Developer project is unchanged after a panel image update is performed. If the panel image upgrade is made over Ethernet, an additional dialog will pop up to confirm an erasing of the current iX Developer project. The default setting is not to erase the iX Developer project.

Creating a custom Welcome Screen

The default Welcome Screen on an X2 operator panel, with the exception of the X2 base, can be replaced with a custom picture.

1. Create a start-up picture with the following characteristics:
   – Size: Theexactsameresolutionasthepanelthepicturewillbeusedin
   – Name: iXCustomSplash.bmp
   – Picture format: .bmp

2.  Create an iX Developer project for the panel you want to replace the Welcome Screen on.

3. Add the picture to the project’s Project Files.
   

4. Download the project to the operator panel.

5. Reboot the panel to load the new Welcome Screen.

Tip:
To check the panel resolution, start iX Developer, and in the wizard select the correct panel type, and then check the technical data displayed for the operator panel.
