The access to the Local HMI is through a keyboard, monitor, and mouse connected to the
USB KVM card on the rear panel of the D400. For KVM setup information, see "Local HMI
connection" on page 64.
The D400's Local HMI is presented within an X Windows environment running on the Linux
operating system. It provides limited functionality from the standard HMI. You cannot
configure the D400 through the Local HMI.
1.
If not already on, turn on the video display monitor.
If you just powered up the D400, wait for the start up messages to complete and the
D400 login prompt to appear.
2.
At the D400 login prompt, enter your D400 administrator user name (default is root)
and your administrator password (default is geroot). Leave the IP address at 127.0.0.1.
3.
Click Connect. X Windows starts and the Local HMI main screen displays.
The Local HMI is an application with a title bar. Once the user has logged in the application
window may be minimized, moved, or closed through the controls on the right hand side of
the title bar. An application toolbar displays across the bottom of the screen. Click the
D400 button on the toolbar and select an option from the shortcut menu.
The following functions are available:
Operator Interface – opens an additional HMI session
X Terminal – displays the D400#>> command prompt in a pop-up window from which
you can run the D400 system utilities
Quit – closes the HMI session and X Windows and returns you to the D400#>> prompt.
To restart windows, enter startx.
Restart – restarts the windows manager without ending the HMI session.
The local HMI does not have a session timeout. So you must log out of the HMI and the
D400 command line interface to fully exit and secure the system.
