1 GENERAL INFORMATION
XWEB 500 is a Controlling and Monitoring system based on WEB server technology. It is capable to communicate data to one external Client with the same kind of procedure used by the Internet Web Sites. Client need only a standard Browser such as Microsoft Explorer or Netscape. The Web Pages with all the information are contained into the server itself; Linux operative system ensures maximum efficiency and security. The server reads, logs and checks the data coming from the Dixell instruments connected to a RS485 line. The communication protocol is the Modbus-Rtu. The XWEB 500 is capable of recognising also most of the Modbus-Rtu compatible instruments not manufactured by Dixell. ATTENTION: Always check the proper RS485 connections (see 2.1.1 rs485) ATTENTION: Dixell S.p.a. reserves itself the right to analyse the Modbus-RTU compatibility of other manufacturers devices before ensuring their integration into XWEB 500 system. Clients to Server connection possibility: Modem: point to point through local and remote modem devices (Creating a Remote Access under Windows); Local USB cable: Before pluging-in the USB cable, please install the connection software provided with the cd-rom. You can plug the provided USB cable into labelled USB socket of XWEB 500 and on the other side into your PC USB port. Intranet / Internet: where available a static IP, using the standard socket 10 Base-T with RJ45 connector. Cross over ethernet cable: You can plug a bridge network cable into RJ45 socket of XWEB 500 and on the other side into your PC network adapter. Ask your network administrator to properly setup your PC to be able to access XWEB 500 web pages.

The User interface is defined by the Browser program and it is the same for all kind of connections. The PC-client needs only a standard Browser, there is no need to install any kind of software Some pages created by the web server rely on Java and they need the Java Virtual Machine program that is normally installed in the latest Browsers and operative systems. Check the different connection under 2.1.8 Local connectivity. Features and functions included into the XWEB 500 management: Data monitoring and recording, alarm detection and recording of the instrument connected. Alarm management defined by the User with visible signals (onboard led), or relay switching or remote transmission via Fax, E-mail or sms. Interactive commands to manage the connected instruments. Parameter table programming. Graphic or table viewing and printing of the recorded data.

2 INSTALLATION
2.1 HARDWARE
ATTENTION: to protect both yourself and the server from electrical hazards the XWEB 500 should remain

2.1.1 RS485
To be connected to the serial line all the Dixell Modbus instruments must be provided with direct RS485 terminals or the TTL-RS485 interface (XJRS485 or XJ485). Check the instrument manuals for more information. The RS485 line is mainly based on two polarised terminals. Please beware to respect the right sequence for all the devices connected to the serial line.

Follow these important advises: The RS485 serial line must reach all the instruments where they are installed. Beware to the wire polarities when screwing them into the instrument terminals.

10/103

10/01/2006 - 1592010900

XWEB 500 rel.1.0

2.1.2 SERIAL ADDRESS

The cable must have 2 or 3 wires with shield, minimum section 0,5mm2 (eg. the BELDEN 8772). From the XWEB 500 position the cable reaches all the instrument positions. Do not execute loops or derivations: Right connection

Wrong connection

Always keep the usb cable away from power cables. Always keep the usb cable away from electro-magnetic or frequency sources. Do not connect shield to ground. Do not connect the Gnd terminal. Remember to draw a map of the line. This will help you to find an error if something is wrong. The instrument with RS485 have + and - terminals, respect the polarity. To keep the line balanced it is necessary a 100 Ohm resistor at the end of the line (you ca use the RS 485+ and RS 485- terminals of the last instrument connected).

10/01/2006- 1592010900

Pag. 11 / 103

XWEB 500 rel.1.0

2.1.3 THE TTL OUTPUT

The instrument with RS485 on board do not need any kind of external interface module. For instruments with external interface: keep the TTL cable away from power cables or frequency sources. The XJ485 external interface must be connected with TTL cable to the instrument with TTL compatibility.

2.1.4 SERIAL ADDRESS OF THE INSTRUMENTS

Each instrument must be defined by its unique address. Check the address into the Adr parameter value. Take reference to the instruction manual of the instrument itself to find the right procedure to enter the programming and set the value. The easiest way to work with the category functions is to set the addresses progressively for similar groups of instruments which have the same application.

2.1.5 TERMINATION RESISTOR

To keep balanced the RS485 the beginning and the end of line must be closed with a resistor of 120. If XWEB 500 is placed at the beginning or at the end of the line, please active its termination resistor by adding a jumper in position 2 (JMP2 on the back side of the unit). DO NOT add the jumper if XWEB 500 is placed in the middle of the RS485 line.

2.1.6 COMPATIBLE INSTRUMENTS

For a complete list please read Appendix C. 2.1.6.1 PARTICULAR DEVICE SETUP

All controllers equipped with 2 serial addresses (XC400/600/800/900, XH200/300/400 etc.) must be used with both addresses equal. iCHILLs need to activate a particular value in the Advanced section. User must check Force Device On status. Remember to stop-start acquisition after this operation. To use non Dixell, but modBus compatible controllers (such as Energy Analyzer by Carlo Gavazzi) follow this instructions: a) Go to Configuration then Devices. b) On the drop down menu Actions select New.... c) A new pop-up window will appear: fill in the blank with the name of the controller and the ADR. d) Choose the proper device model (e.g. ENERGY_800000000000000). e) Press Create

2.1.7 REMOTE CONNECTION FROM A CLIENT PC

2.1.7.1 MODEM CONNECTION (OR POINT TO POINT CONNECTION)

It represents the most common method where the LAN (intranet / Ethernet / internet) is not available. It is strongly advised to use a dedicated telephone line. IMPORTANT: Use exclusively modem devices approved by Dixell. Remember that many modems are not compatible with Linux. The list of compatible models can be found under the menu: Configuration System - Modem. In appendix E, you can find the complete list of accessories together with their commercial name. Dixell can provide you these modems. You can decide to buy them in your country, but do not use different models from the ones stated here. Dixell is not responsible for any action depending on a modem that is not present in the official list of supported accessories. External Modem. Connect the modem to the COM Port on the back side using the modem cable commonly included into the modem packaging itself. The reset of XWEB modem is directly controlled by the XWEB 500 Server through the COM port, but if you use a GSM modem remember to use the external relay to cut the modem power supply to reset it. Connect the modem to the telephone line with the phone cable included into the modem packaging. Remember to check if there is a switching machine (add the prefix digit). The connection procedure is divided in two parts: In the first part it is necessary to create the Remote Access, in your remote PC, set with the telephone number of the line where the XWEB 500 is connected to. You have to use Dixell as Username and Password. The second is the procedure you will ever use: after launching the new Remote Access that will engage the line via the modem, start the Browser from your PC and insert the address http://192.168.0.150 into Explorer/Netscape address bar. Proper information about setting up a dial-up connection for the client PC, can be found inside the INSTALLATION MANUAL on 4.3. 2.1.7.2 INTRANET / ETHERNET CONNECTION

The Intranet or Ethernet connection should be initially managed by the net administrator which will assign one free IP address to reach the Server. This number is an example of what you should expect: http://192.168.000.111. After receiving the address from your network Administrator the XWEB 500 must be set with this number. Use a standard RJ45 network cable to connect the unit to your existing LAN. The Intranet method allows the connection to interact with XWEB 500 from all the PC Clients. Insert the net address assigned by the administrator into the Browser address bar. Bookmark the address with personalised name for the future connections.

10/01/2006- 1592010900

Pag. 13 / 103

XWEB 500 rel.1.0

2.1.7.3 INTERNET CONNECTION It is necessary a STATIC IP address for the XWEB 500 which is normally assigned by the Provider of your internet services. The Internet connection allows XWEB 500 to be reached from all PC-clients. Insert the net address assigned by the administrator into the Browser address bar. Bookmark the address with personalised name for the future connections. Ask your provider for more details about the rent of a static IP. This the internet system requirements for the best result: Wide band connection. At least 1 static IP addresses for the XWEB 500.

The internet connection is established through a device called Router that receives and sends the data as interface between an Intranet and Internet. The Provider also assigns the address of the router that is called IP WAN. Remember that the default value of the IP of the XWEB 500 is: 192.168.0.150. Depending on the contract the Provider can also supply the router, otherwise the user can buy it separately. REMEMBER: ask qualified personnel for the router installation by using this information: Used ports that are mapped to the LAN side: 22 (used for SSH connection) 80 (used for the http:// access) 42 (tcp and udp) towards the name server you choose 53 (tcp and udp) towards the name server you choose The above ports are all related to the XWEB 500 IP address 192.168.0.150. While the ports on the WAN side are: Telnet (to configure the router from a remote, also via Internet) http (To access the XWEB 500)

2.1.8 LOCAL CONNECTIVITY VIA A USB CABLE

It is normally used for the first setup of the unit. XWEB 500 is provided with the USB port for the PC connection through a standard USB cable. XWEB can also work without local PC, therefore after the first

XWEB 500 rel.1.0

2.2 CONFIGURATION AND ACCESS

Before turning on the XWEB 500 read these notes. The User interface is the same for all type of connections, therefore it does not matter if you are local PC connected via USB cable, LAN or point-to-point connected via modem. The local access via USB cable is the fastest way to manage the first setup of the unit. Be sure the Pcclient is provided with Java Virtual Machine. Launch the Browser and insert the default address 192.168.0.150.

2.2.1 MICROSOFT WINDOWS: POP-UP BLOCKER AND COOKIES

XWEB 500 uses some pop-up windows to show the user the real status of each operation, unfortunately these pop-ups are blocked by Windows pop-up blocker. Usually Windows add a pale yellow bar to inform you about the blocked pop-up (image below).

To avoid this problem, please follow these rules:

3. Add the default address of XWEB 500, i.e: 192.168.0.150.

Please remember to add each IP address you will use to this list.

2.2.2 MICROSOFT WINDOWS: CACHE FILES

Often referred to as the cache, the Temporary Internet Files folder contains a kind of travel record of the items you have seen, or downloaded from the Web, including images, sounds, Web pages, even cookies. Typically these items are stored in the Temporary Internet Files folder. Storing these files in your cache can make browsing the Web faster because it usually takes your computer less time to display a Web page when it can call up some of the page's elements or even the entire page from your local Temporary Internet Files folder, but at the same time can prevent you from receiving correct information from the XWEB 500 you are connect to. These files also take up space, so we suggest deleting them periodically. When you clear out the files stored in your cache you go through the clearing the cache procedure. To clear your cache: 1.On the Internet Explorer Tools menu, click Internet Options. The Internet Options box should open to the General tab. 2.On the General tab, in the Temporary Internet Files section, click the Delete Files button. This will delete all 10/01/2006- 1592010900 Pag. 19 / 103

XWEB 500 rel.1.0

the files that are currently stored in your cache.

2.2.3 THIRD PART SOFTWARE AND XWEB 500

As general rule please remember that software such as antivirus programs, firewall programs, toolbars (Yahoo and Google bar) may prevent you from connecting properly to XWEB 500. We strongly suggest to check these softwares setup and add the IP address of XWEB 500 to the trusted site list of your software. As 20/103 10/01/2006 - 1592010900

XWEB 500 rel.1.0

far as firewall is concerned, add port 80 and port 22 to the allowed ports forwarding, of course all the TCP/IP requests coming from the IP address of XWEB 500 must be allowed.

2.2.4 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

As soon as the power supply cable is plugged in, the system starts loading. The on-board display shows you the bootstrap procedure with a slide-bar After the first loading of the operative system, the user is required to setup the XWEB 500. The first window asks you to log-in to the system. Use Admin as User name and Password.

2.2.5 XWEB 500 SETUP

Click on Configuration -> System roll-down menu. This window will appear:

2.2.6 SYSTEM SETUP

Click on System setup to adjust System name, description, language, date/time and time-zone format. They are important because the system will use its time stamp to record and send alarm. It is possible to change the default language: click on Import and browse the cd-rom. All the dictionary files are stored in the Languages folder.

2.2.7 NETWORK SETUP

By clicking Network Setup is possible to customize all network settings. The default IP is 192.168.0.150, if you change it, please refer to this new number each time you encounter the default IP inside this manual. The next window allows you to setup the network. You can choose No network, it means you will not be able to reach your XWEB 500 using intranet/lan access. This is an uncommon situation. On the other side if you check the radio button fixed network, you have to fill in the blank labels. We suggest you, before proceeding, to contact your network administrator to get help. IP ADDRESS: you need this unique number to identify your XWEB 500. There are 2 kind of IP numbers: private and public ones. The first are usually used to setup an intranet/lan where all clients do not need to be reached from outside. We can compare this situation to a close environment: communication is possible only among IPs belonging to this private range. For example IP numbers 192.168.xxx.yyy define a private network. NETWORK MASK: is just like a filter, 255.255.255.0 means XWEB 500 can directly reaches only PCs belonging to its own IP range. All other requests will be sent to a valid gateway. GATEWAY ADDRESS: You have to compile this field with a valid gateway IP number. Gateway machines are a kind of portal through which all data that can not directly reach the target IP, is sent. 10/01/2006- 1592010900 Pag. 23 / 103

XWEB 500 rel.1.0

PRIMARY/SECONDARY DNS: In the internet world you can reach a web server using its name, for example www.dixell.com, digiting the name into your web-browser address bar. Due to the protocol used to guarantee performance and security, all names are converted into IP numbers. This operation is made by a DNS server. Usually your ISP or your network administrator can provide you a valid DNS number. DNSs are also mandatory to use e-mail and the internet upgrade procedure.

2.2.8 MODEM SETUP

Next window allows you to setup the modem connection. XWEB 500 uses the modem to send faxes and in same cases also e-mails. In the first case the unit itself can send a fax, while in the second case you may need to setup a dial-up connection (next step). When XWEB modem is in use, it is important to choose the country according to the real country where XWEB 500 is installed. From the drop down menu country, choose yours (either internal or external one, but also both of them). Please choose you country to avoid modem malfunctioning. If your country is not available in the supported list, please contact Dixell. XWEB 500 can manage up to 2 modem simultaneously: enable/disable them according to your real application. Remember also to set Dial-in calls and the number of rings before the answer of the modem.

2.2.9 DIALUP SETUP

Click on Dial up to proper setup the internet connection for sending e-mails. You need a valid internet account, then fill in all the field. If you do not have a valid SMTP Server, once connected to the Internet, XWEB 500 will try to send the email directly to the receiver. This type of operation is NOT support by all ISP (internet service provider). For this reason it is strongly recommended to use a valid SMTP.

2.2.10 E-MAIL SETUP

XWEB 500 can handles email, but to send them you need to make a proper setup of the unit. XWEB can send email either via network or via dial-up, please choose the proper option according to your needs. To send e-mails a SMTP server must exist and XWEB have to reach this server through the LAN or via dial-up. In this case gateway and DNS parameters are mandatory in Network Configuration window. If dialup is used therefore there is no direct LAN access to internet. In this case a modem is needed, XWEB 500 will contact directly your ISP provider and using its services will send all the e-mails. To send e-mail you need a valid SMTP server. Usually your LAN administrator will provide you a server name, for example dixell.com (another format widely used is mail.company-name.com), then a valid e-mail address is needed. We strongly suggest you to create a new e-mail account to use with XWEB. In this case, e-mail header will be something like this: xweb@your-company-name.com. This is very useful to apply e-mail filtering in the client PC. It is not necessary to have a dedicated mail account to use e-mail services, but is strongly recommended because for example many SMTP servers need user account authentication (especially ISP) and in this case without a proper user you can not send e-mails. Moreover if your SMTP requires authentication, please check Yes box and fill in with the right values. If either network or dial-up setup has 10/01/2006- 1592010900 Pag. 25 / 103

3.3.4 ALARMS
3.3.4.1 ALARM TYPOLOGY AND ALARM LEVELS

The alarm typology is a list of alarm events designed by the user to describe the possible alarms that the instruments can generate. In this way similar alarm events can be grouped together under a unique identification label, so high and low temperature alarms can be defined as Temperature alarms or the high and low pressure alarms belong to Pressure alarm identification. The Alarm Level list is also designed and named by the user. Each alarm level can be assigned with one or many alarm typologies. The alarm level starts the appropriate action in case of alarm event and depending on the level of alert it transfers the information via fax or e-mail with appropriate messages or turn on relais etc.

3.3.4.2

DESTINATION OF THE ALARM MESSAGES

The list of the destinations contains the users (directors, maintenance personnel, assistance etc.) enabled to receive the alarm notification. The XWEB 500 is capable of transferring the alarm message through Fax or e-mail. To insert a new item Click into the field Name and insert the appropriate word or words. Click on Insert to add the new value.

To change the setting Click into Selection and find the desired item from the list. Click into the desired fields and change them with the appropriate values. Click on Modify. To delete an item Select the user to delete. Click on Cancel. To delete all the items of the list Click on Cancel All; Confirm the operation if necessary. Wait for the screen refresh. To reset the form Click on new.

For each receiver the calendar function is also suitable to enable the alarm sending procedure only during certain period of time. See Calendar chapter. 3.3.4.3 ALARM LEVELS

The alarm levels are organised as a list of items. Each named level provides to execute the right procedure to transfer the alarm notification to the receiver or receivers. They act just like a filter. E.g: an alarm belonging to the Temperature alarm typology can be differently treated from the no-link alarm so as the destination and the kind of message is suitable to a proper information about the alarm event itself. The alarm level also assigns the number of receivers and the transmission mode (Fax and E-mail). It is also possible to switch on/off the status of the onboard relay. Check/uncheck AUX1 or AUX2 in the proper page. In the back of the unit you can find the relay outputs.

WARNING:

Terminal blocks for relays AUX1 and AUX2 can not be used for switching high voltage loads (24V or higher). Use a low voltage circuit to manage your loads.

The easiest method to work with levels is to define three kinds of alarms corresponding to Severe alarm, Standard alarm, Warning. Each alarm typology, depending on its importance, can be linked to one of this three alarm level to alert different personnel. It is also allowed to define as many alarm levels as the existing alarm typology in order to transfer complete information about each alarm origin. Under the device configuration paragraph you will learn how to assign the designed alarm typologies and alarm levels to each instrument. This multilevel structure gives the maximum flexibility and it comes to solve every kind of alarm management problem.

XWEB 500 rel.1.0

unique definition. For instance all the temperature alarms that are not important can be defined by a typology named as Normal Alarm while the temperature alarms of the frozen food can be identified by the typology Severe Alarm. The user can assign a typology name for the desired alarm event such as: High temperature, low temperature, High or pressure, open door, compressor oil, Frozen food, etc The user can define the accuracy of the alarm description Each typology can define the following: One of the alarm level previously defined to send the alarm. The Delay time that defines the minimum duration of alarm. The alarm must be longer to be computed, otherwise the system will only record the event in the alarm historical list. The accumulation time that defines the time when the alarm will be sent. This time will be counted only if the alarm lasts more than its delay time. For each alarm the user can insert the appropriate word(s) that represent(s) the alarm transmission.

To inset a new Alarm typology

Click into the Name and insert the appropriate word(s) to describe the alarm typology. Assign the alarm level procedure under Level. Define the Accumulation time and the minimum activation time or Delay of the alarm. Insert the appropriate message header into the corresponding fields. To modify the item From Selection find the desired item. Change the wrong description. Click on Modify. To delete an item Select the item to delete. Click on Cancel. To delete all the items of the list Click on Cancel All; Confirm the operation if necessary. Wait the screen refresh. To reset the form Click on new

3.3.4.5 QUEUED MESSAGES The fax message can be sent to a back-up number (Second fax number). If the first number is engaged or the line is unavailable, the system tries to send the message to the second fax number.

3.3.5 CALENDAR FUNCTION

The Calendar function is used to define if a function or a single event is active or not in the selected period of time. Therefore the Calendar is suitable to include/exclude certain period of the day, month or year when it has to interact with some XWEB 500 procedures or for instance if the maintenance personnel is working on the unit. The resource (or any programmed procedure that the XWEB 500 has to follows) related to a Calendar is available Enabled only during the selected periods otherwise it is Disabled and it does not work. 10/01/2006- 1592010900 Pag. 43 / 103

XWEB 500 rel.1.0

The XWEB 500 use the Calendar as filter before activating the resource itself, if the resource is not Enabled in that period nothing happens. The alarm procedure to inform an Assistance Centre or the light on function can be override by their appropriate Calendar programming. The number of Calendars is not limited and each Calendar can manage more than one resource. The Calendar is based on a weekly list extended for all the month, the tile colour shows the function related to that day The day is divided in: Enabled Partly Enabled Disabled Green colour; Yellow colour; Grey colour.

Disabled day represent the 24 ore where the resource is not active (eg holiday). Enabled and Partly Enabled days can accept the period of activity of the resource.

Setting the daily period activity for all the week (Eg: define Saturday and Sunday as Disabled, Wednesday as Partly Enabled). Select the appropriate month: Point the mouse arrow on the rose tile Saturday. Click with the left button and then set the value as Weekly not Enabled. The tiles become Grey.

The configuration is subordinated to the manual or automatic search procedure to create a list of the available instruments. For each kind of device XWEB 500 will show only the specific information of the controller itself and the attributes of the available digital and analogue inputs of the instrument. Only this part of configuration admits the association of the categories previously defined such as the alarms, typologies and time recoding. If during the configuration it is necessary to use a category to associate to a new feature of the instrument but the category it is not present, the user can step back into the Categories menu, create the new category and then restart with the device configuration. 3.3.6.1 SELECT A DEVICE

Be sure of having selected the right instrument under the Device menu. Depending on the instrument model there are different available categories to define the attributes of the instrument itself. If you do not find the right one maybe it is not defined or it is not available for that instrument. By itself XWEB 500, after the recognising procedure, assigns the default categories (if you checked the box in category window) to the devices connected to the RS 485. To change the category click inside the field and select the appropriate item. Click Modify now or at the end of the whole configuration. 3.3.6.4 ASSIGN THE ALARM TYPOLOGY

Be sure of having selected the right instrument under the Device menu. ALARM ORIGIN: depending on the instrument model there are different available alarms, if you do not find the right one it means that it is not available for that instrument. NAME: each alarm can be assigned with an appropriate label defined by the user, this label is also used when it is displayed by the system. Click inside the Name and modify it. TIPOLOGY: links alarm type to the proper Alarm typology. If you do not find the proper action in it, step back to the Alarms definition to insert the new features into a new alarm typology. SH (Show): when it is enabled th alarm is showed in main page. SND (Send): when it is enabled the alarm is sent by XWEB 500. REC (Recording): when it is enabled the corresponding alarm is logged.

NAME: The first time each name is displayed by following the internal XWEB 500 archive of standard feature of the instruments. Each definition can be renamed when necessary to give the proper meaning. Beware of the difference between integer and decimal value. Instruments are factory preset to decimal point, so if you change this value to integer you need to make the same change inside XWEB 500. All default labels are intended as decimal, when you change to integer a postfix -I is shown. It may happen that you move to integer using advanced properties (see Appendix A), then coming back to label name and changing it without using -I you completely loose the information you are displaying integer. This may be a problem because when you come back to advanced section there is no more difference between decimal and integer. To change a name simply click inside its field and modify it. Unit: The analogue input is followed by the proper unit of measurement, change the unit by clicking in it then insert the new value. Beware that in this window you can change only the label of the unit of measurement. In Advanced section you can change the behaviour of the instrument (e.g. Celsius or Fahrenheit degree) Click Confirm now or at the end of the whole configuration. Delete one device from the list Stop acquisitions. Select the instrument to delete. Click on Cancel in Action menu. Advanced function The Advanced key allows to reach another configuration area dedicated to the instrument setup. This area is very dangerous because this configuration defines important features that can badly affect the unit if not properly set. Take care of this advice and ask authorised personnel before trying any kind of setting. You can find more complete information in Appendix A. 3.3.6.6 CLONE FUNCTION This function is intended to let the user save a lot of time during the first setup of the XWEB 500. By using this function the system will broadcast the current instrument setup to all the other that are compatible. The compatible instruments are only the ones who belong to the same model. In this situation the user is requested to made only one setup, then using clone button in few seconds (depending on the total number of instruments) the configuration will be applied to all the other controllers. In the first step you are required to make a complete setup regarding both standard and advanced section. When you are ready, please go to Configuration -> Devices roll-down menu.

Commands The last stripe of information contains the available commands for that instrument. Use them to operate on the instrument. Take care of the operations you make with commands. Click on the interested function button, after sending the command the information of the new status will be automatically updated and displayed.

Beware that Stand By commands turn off the instruments.

3.5.2 RUN TIME

The run time function provides to display into a unique window many devices together. This is dynamic page and the data showed are updated in real time (the period depends on the number of instruments). This page based on the modern Java programming language, therefore it is necessary to have the Java Virtual Machine installed on the client PC. Normally the JVM is already installed into the PC operative systems, (if not present see Minimum requirements section in this manual). A warning message will propose you to use it. Accept it, the software applet is guaranteed free from viruses. In the Home page select the Run time from the Devices menu. The first part is referred to the selection of the Category of the devices installed in order to save loading time, while the selection All will show all the instruments. After selecting the proper category, XWEB 500 begins sending data to your PC. The first time you load the RUN-TIME windows, you are requested to accept the start of JVM program. All applets that use JVM are certified by Dixell. Please answer to the warning windows by clicking on the OK button (the message text depends on the release of JVM and on operative system of the PC). Then the Run Time page will start to display the selected devices with their information. If one or more instruments have an active alarm event, the message box will indicate the alarm situation with a red Alarms label. If whole situation of the instrument displayed is normal, the message box will show Device(s) OK ! in green colour.

Each device is represented by an horizontal row that includes as many rows as many information are available from the instrument. For each row, the blue bar contains the address and the instrument name followed by the typology to which the instrument belongs to. At the end of the blue bar there is the command box Sel. The second row of a main row contains the set-point and the analogue inputs like the probe values or other peculiar information of the instrument read-outs such as the electrical measurements of a net analyser. The third row of a main row is divided in three parts: the first area contains the icon symbols of the instrument status, the second area contains the icon symbols of the instrument outputs (relays) and the third area shows the digital input status with their complete description. An icon not surrounded by a blue square means the corresponding function is not active. The active status of an instrument function is represented with the corresponding blue icon. More information about the icon function can be red, pointing the mouse arrow over a single icon, on the left down corner of the browser border. Devices in alarm In case of alarm event the corresponding instrument is signalled with the red blinking description. Immediately also the message box, on the top of the browser bar, will indicate the alarm situation with a red Alarms label.

3.5.4 LAYOUT FUNCTION

With this function it is possible to build up a Layout view of the system been monitoring. The user can creates as many layers as he needs and place important information and data value coming directly from the instruments. XWEB 500 uses 2 different menus to deal with Layout: one is Layout Edit, the other is Layout Viewer. Both of them use web-technology, so Java Virtual Machine is needed. More importantly that all data information is stored inside the XWEB server and it is pushed dynamically to your client. This means that according to the connection speed pages could take different loading time. The Editor is the most important part, we start discussing it first. We strongly suggest to set client PC resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels and use the same resolution for the background images. 3.5.4.1 LAYOUT EDITOR To start Layout Editor, go to Devices then choose Layout Editor. If this is the first time you run the Layout, a blank windows will appear. The available menus are:

File Submenu:

NEW LAYOUT

This function is used when you want to start a new Layout. Beware that the system can only manages one layout per time. There is no possibility to save a Layout with a particular name and then build up a new one.

SAVE

This function allow you to save the changes done till now. Beware that the system can not go back to a previous save, only the last one is available.

Layers Submenu:

ADD LAYER

It is used to add a new layer to the layout. Selecting it this windows will appear:

User has to compile Name with any text value, then he can choose the background colour and also a background image pushing Image button. In this case a new window will appear:

62/103

10/01/2006 - 1592010900

XWEB 500 rel.1.0

Choose an image and press Ok. When you use images the system has to send them to your client. Depending on the speed of the connection the download procedure may take up to some minutes. According to the client screen resolution the system will load up a new page. The real dimensions (width and height) come from the monitor setting of the client itself. The system later is capable of dynamically resize this value to show images and layers in a proper format. We strongly suggest making some test before proceeding with the complete layout design. Usually images are taken with a digital camera. Beware do not confuse this resolution value (e.g. megapixel 3, 4 or more) with the one of your monitor (800x600, 1024x768 pixels). When you take a digital picture, your camera saves it according to its setup. Once you download these photos to your PC you need to resize them to the value you want to use in the layout. Example Table 1 Digital Picture resolution 2048 x 1536 (3-megapixel) 2272 x 1712 (4-megapixel) 2592 x 1944 (5-megapixel) File size RAW 9MB 12Mb 15MB File size JPG highest resolution ~1,10MB ~1,47MB ~1,82MB

With a image editing software you can resize all the picture to the proper size. Size also means kilobytes to download for the client. We suggest to use images not bigger than 40~50 Kb. Of course if you have a fast connection you may exceed this value. File format supported are: JPG and GIF. We strongly suggest to use JPG due to its better compression factor. As an example you can refer to the following table chart: Example Table 2 File Resolution 800 x 600 (outdoor image) 800 x 600 (outdoor image) 1024 x 768 (outdoor image) 1024 x 768 (outdoor image) Compression ratio 45% 65% 45% 65% File Size 64Kb 44Kb 98Kb 67Kb

Actual file size, if you use JPG compression, depends on the picture you are compressing. Different pictures with same compression ratio and same file resolution, may have different file size.

NAME

It is used to change the name of the layer:

10/01/2006- 1592010900

With this function the user can use the layout previously prepared via Layout Editor. Beware that the final user can interact with the real application if you used Global command function (see the above point P). Of course Java Virtual Machine is needed. Your browser helps you during the download procedure. Quite probably the image you uploaded will not change frequently, so once they all are in the browsers cache next time the load time will be faster. According to this function please check if your browser settings support cache. You can do this by clicking Tools menu, then Internet Options general TAB.

3.5.5 GLOBAL COMMANDS FUNCTION

It allows you to place in the layer a command-button and use it to send command to a particular instrument or to a range of them. We do not describe here again all the functions that are available also in the layout. 3.5.5.1 GLOBAL EDIT In the homepage, go to Devices and choose Global Edit.

You can access data information from the roll-down menu Data -> Graphs. Graphs is a file containing all the instrument data recording, the time interval used for these recordings is defined into the category Recording interval. This archive grows time by time depending on the number of instruments and it can become very large occupying the available memory contained into the server.

3.6.1 DISPLAY THE GRAPHS

With Data menu you can access Graphs section, then select the desired controller from the filter lists of the Device typology. After selecting the controller, the screen will show all the available data which the instrument is provided with.

XWEB 500 rel.1.0

The first information about the archive shows into Available Interval the first and the last recording date, while the Select Interval includes the period you can decided to show. If necessary, modify the Select Interval period. Longer is the time interval to show, longer the loading time needed to show the data graph. For a first analysis select a time period not so wide but centred on the target of your interest, this ensure higher graph precision. You can also act on Graph Density parameters to decide if you need all data samples. This feature is very useful if you are connected via modem at a slow speed. You have many rows: Analog Input Setpoint Digital Input Output Status Devices Staus - Alarm. The number of the rows depends on the controller type. For each of them you can graphs as many values as you want. The only limitation is 3 analog values and 2 digital ones. For each selection is possible to decide the colour of the line that will be represented. It is also possible to group the analogue inputs into a unique graph or to display them into separated ones. For example if you want to display all data using only one graph, select for each value AG1 from the roll-down menu, then in Graph labels write some words reminding you the meaning of the graphs. On the other side if you want to display the values in different graphs, you have to chose AG1 for the first values, AG2 for the second and AG3 for the third. Remember that each graph can be renamed by the user with an appropriate name into the corresponding Graph Labels situated into the low side of the page. Before clicking the command View it is possible to define the graph density to decide the resolution of the lines and recordings. Select the box Graph Density. Higher is the value of this parameter better will be the graph resolution, but longer the downloading time from the XWEB 500. Now Click on View to start the transferring process of data from the XWEB 500 to your PC. The displaying structure is based on a Java Applet and the Java Virtual Machine program installed into the remote PC that computes the data coming from the XWEB 500. Depending on the Virtual Machine version installed a message to accept the term of use will appear during the operation. Dixell S.p.a.. guarantees that the software is free from viruses and the request can be accepted.

If the selected area have not the proper dimensions click one time outside the area itself to abort the zoom, then repeat the operation to select the area to zoom. Otherwise, if you click one time with the left button inside the selected area, immediately this area will be zoomed to the borders of the graph. Back to the original size To resize the graph to its original dimension select from the Scale menu the Reset Size option. Manual Scale The first time the graph is displayed with an auto scale function defined by highest and lowest peek and the whole interval time selected. Do define a personal scale of the graph view select from the Scale menu the Manual Size item. The next windows will show the X and Y scale limits that the user can adapt to his requirement.

Graph Synchronism When a instrument information are displayed into 2 or more graphs, all the horizontal time axes are synchronised together. By zooming only one of the graphs the result is that the other are no more synchronised with the new time base. To keep all the graph synchronised you can use the Sync function from tools menu Select it for each graph that has to be included into the synchronism function, then zoom into one of them. You can notice that all time axes are now synchronized Graph info The graph information area is immediately displayed with the graph itself. If necessary move or drag it where it does not cover part of the interested area. To close the information window click on its crossed button. To make it appear again select Legenda from the Tools menu. Save a graph format This function provides to save the data of the displayed graph into the hard disk of the client computer connected to XWEB 500. To start the operation select Save from the Tools menu. After that you can proceed by using the typical saving method of Windows operative system, remember to assign a proper name and origin of the data.

The Action menu allows the user to decide what action to start: Save on disk in html format, view in the current window or print alarm. The system automatically loads all the alarm. The user can filter which one wants to view using Actual or Last and insert the number of days back to show. The alarm description is displayed in table format.

Beware to the status of an alarm: Active (To column): Auto (ending column): Stop Acq. (ending column): Restart (ending column): Alarm is still active Alarm stopped automatically. It means that alarm event is now ended. Someone has stopped the recording activity System has been rebooted by someone/something.

Actual view of a device included into the alarm list The user could be interested in having more and deep information about the actual situation of an instrument with an active alarm that is included into the alarm list. Thats why if you click on the description of the instrument itself the XWEB 500 will load a snapshot page showing all the controller information. Print the alarm list 10/01/2006- 1592010900 Pag. 83 / 103

3.8 PERMISSIONS
From the Configuration menu you can access Users. This section is one of the most important to preserve the correct functioning of the unit. You can setup others users account and grant them the permission to interact with the XWEB 500. Permissions are a powerful tool to avoid accidental system damage and security holes.

We strongly suggest you to create a user with read only privileges and another one with the ability to change system behaviour. The third user must be the administrator who should be the only one to be able to interact with critical system behaviour, such as alarm setup menu or devices add/delete etc. To modify an existing user you just have to put the correct name and password (by clicking inside the box), then push on Modify button. Default configuration consists of one Administrator.

To allow a user to interact with the unit, please assign him correct rights. To do this check/uncheck the proper permission. At the end of the procedure you have to confirm the changes by clicking on apply button. 10/01/2006- 1592010900 Pag. 85 / 103

3.8.1 MANAGING THE USERS

You can interact with a user in 3 different ways: Setting-up permission. Disabling the user (Enabling check box on the top right corner). Modify account and password

3.9 TOOLS SECTION

XWEB 500 has a complete set of useful tools to help the user managing in the best way both the monitoring unit and the controllers connected on the RS 485. Click on Tools menu to start using it.

3.9.1 DATA LOG STATUS

One of the most important tools is the Data log Status. This window gives you important information concerning the available amount of memory reserved to store data values. Value Log followed by a percentage is the amount of used memory at the present moment. XWEB 500 will give you a forecast expressed in days/hours on the duration of the stored data starting back from the last recorded value. The archive is in FIFO format, so the first data (the oldest one) is also the first to be overwritten. To enlarge this recording time you can decide which values you really need to store. To do this please click on Configuration -> Devices roll-down menu and select a controller. At this point uncheck all the value you do no want to record. In the following example DI Defrost Start is shown but not recorded.

3.9.2 RS 485 TEST

It is possible to make a test on the RS 485 line. Click on RS 485. The following window will appear:

XWEB 500 rel.1.0

By clicking on Test XWEB 500 starts sending data packet to the selected controller. Depending on the number of sent back packet the percentage is shown in 3 different colours: red (bad connection), yellow (average connection) and green (good connection). This tool is useful to discover problem on the RS 485 wiring.

3.9.3 SERVER STATUS

Click on Tools -> Server Status. This window gives you important information about the XWEB 500 status. If there is some errors, they will be displayed in this section. The user can access this window also from the home page. The label Server Status show you the current status. If there is an error a small icon will appear. By clicking on it a report windows will appear.

Server without errors

4 SAFETY AND ALLOWED USE

Please read carefully what follows. Your security may depend on the respect of these simple rules. We strongly suggest you, to prevent damage to the unit, paying attention to each sentence. Remember to protect both yourself and the computer from electrical hazards. The XWEB 500 should remain turned off until you are finished connecting all electrical devices. Before giving the power supply, read the Technical Specification to be sure of the supply voltage you are going to connect. The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the instruction manual or as marked on the appliance. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your installation site, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance. The appliance may not function properly if used at extremely low, or freezing temperatures. The ideal ambient temperature is above +5C (41F). The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers etc. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquid is not spilled into the enclosure through openings. Never remove the enclosure. If the internal parts are touched accidentally, a serious electric shock might occur. Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline, or benzine, etc. to clean the cabinet. Use a clean dry cloth. The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the instruction manual. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

APPENDIX A: DEVICE ADVANCED SECTION

In this section we describe how you can customize your device regardless its factory setup. We will point out only the main sections, without describing each fields in deep. Please notice that the page is divided in many rows. Each of them customizes a particular function of the device itself. To access this section please stop data reading/recording, then go to Configuration->Devices roll-down menu. Here with selection Actions roll-down menu choose Advanced, then with Devices choose the proper controller. Analog Input section shows you all the analog input that a device can use. These values can be displayed in decimal or integer values, of course you have to choose the same unit of measurement for both the XWEB and the instrument. The suffix -I means you want to display integer, default value is decimal. The same for Celsius and Fahrenheit degree. The suffix -F means Fahrenheit degree. Warning: the integer/decimal or C/F configuration have to be chosen according to the real setting of the instruments.

Digital Input row need particular attention. The values you find here are the factory defaults, so if you have made modifications to the device setup, you are requested to apply the same modifications in this menu. This is very important because all the values stored inside XWEB 500 devices section must be the same as the ones stored inside the EEPROM of the instrument. A common error for example is to modify Generic Alarm to some other values inside the instrument, than leave the value marked inside Advanced section. XWEB 500 will send you an alarm every time the switch changes status, even if it is not a generic alarm.

Device Status section allows you to customize your instruments, of course the same values have to be set both on XWEB 500 and the instruments themselves.

92/103

10/01/2006 - 1592010900

XWEB 500 rel.1.0

Commands row is very important. You have to mark same values that you have marked before in the other section. In order to give XWEB 500 the possibility to send commands to the instruments. This is necessary because for example if you have changed Generic Alarm to Ausiliary in digital Resources section, then you have to mark Aux on and Aux off in Commands section to be able to turn on/off the output by means of the XWEB 500. Of course you have to do this kind of changes every time you have made some modifications to the controllers.

C
Cable - Transmission medium of copper wire or optical fiber wrapped in a protective cover. Client/Server - A networking system in which one or more file servers (Server) provide services; such as network management, application and centralized data storage for workstations (Clients). CSMA/CD - Carrier Sense Multiple Access Collision Detection is a network access method in which devices that are ready to transmit data first check the channel for a carrier. If no carrier is sensed, a device can transmit. If two devices transmit at once, a collision occurs and each computer backs off and waits a random amount of time before attempting to retransmit. This is the access method used by Ethernet. Coaxial Cable - Cable consisting of a single copper conductor in the center surrounded by a plastic layer for insulation and a braided metal outer shield. Concentrator - A device that provides a central connection point for cables from workstations, servers, and peripherals. Most concentrators contain the ability to amplify the electrical signal they receive.

E
E-mail - An electronic mail message sent from a host computer to a remote computer. End User - Refers to the human executing applications on the workstation.

F
File Server - A computer connected to the network that contains primary files/applications and shares them as requested with the other computers on the network. If the file server is dedicated for that purpose only, it is connected to a client/server network. An example of a client/server network is Novell Netware. All the computers connected to a peer-to-peer network are capable of being the file server. Two examples of peerto-peer networks are LANtastic and Windows for Workgroups.
