Vertex M Remote Display Setup - Honeywell Vertex M User Manual

Configuring the IP Address
The IP address of this interface is set using a procedure similar to that listed in "Data Map" on
page 200. The file WATTCP. CFG is modified with Notepad and downloaded with HyperTerminal.
Notes
Honeywell strongly recommends that any gas detection network which is connected to the
l
Internet be protected from unauthorized access by a firewall.
Honeywell recommends that a gas detection Ethernet network be separated from a general-
l
purpose computer networks by a switch. This is because the transmission time of Ethernet
networks is non-deterministic and can become large if the network is heavily loaded.
When the interface is correctly installed in the PLC backplane the BP ACT light will glow
l
steady amber. The OK light will glow steady green.
The LINK indicator will glow steady green when a valid physical-layer connection is
l
established to an Ethernet switch.
An external computer can confirm that the interface is set to the correct IP address by use of
l
the ping command.
The MVI46-DFNT contains a second configuration file named DFNT.CFG. If the module was
l
purchased from Honeywell, this file will be preloaded. Otherwise, the file provided in
C:\hmi\FieldbusFiles must be loaded.
The 122 words of Vertex M status which are listed in Table F-5 may be viewed on the
l
diagnostic port. These are mapped as registers 0 to 121 in the ProSoft database.
Instructions on viewing the ProSoft database are in chapter 6 of the ProSoft User Manual.
If desired, Allen-Bradley RSLinx software may be used to communicate with the MVI46-
l
DFNT. This is explained in Appendix E of the ProSoft User Manual.

Checking Remote Session Count
The Vertex M Diagnostics option lets you verify the number of remote Niagara licenses.
In the main display screen, touch the Menu button, then touch Diagnostics. This displays the
System Information window. The number of licenses is displayed to the right of Remote
Sessions Count.
Note: If there are not sufficient licenses or if all licenses are in use, remote access to Vertex M
will not be possible. Changing this number is beyond the scope of this procedure; contact a
Honeywell representative for more information.
