D400 SUBSTATION GATEWAY INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The D400 includes a built-in HMI (human machine interface). The HMI is your window into
the D400. Through the HMI you can monitor the status of your substation network, view
data, execute control commands, configure devices and SCADA masters, and change the
system set-up.
The HMI includes the following components:
• Runtime HMI to view and control the operation of the power network. An optional One
Line Viewer is available for viewing one-line diagrams. Power bar buttons give access
to D400 display screens and utilities.
• Configuration tool to manage configuration settings directly on the D400. Includes
One Line Designer for creating/editing one-line diagrams. Accessed from the
Configuration Power bar button.
• Command line interface to configure platform level components. Accessed from the
Utilities Power bar button.
The D400, depending on how it is configured, is protected by a secure HTTPS or standard
HTTP access that requires a user name and password. Your HMI user access level
determines which D400 HMI features you have access to and what your privileges are in
the run-time and configuration tools.
For more information on the D400 HMI, refer to the online Help once you have logged in.
The D400, when equipped with a 1.0 GHz or 1.6 GHz CPU, also includes a Local HMI that
offers all the features of the D400 HMI through a local connection. A feature-reduced
version of the Local HMI is available for D400 units containing a 650 MHz CPU.
You can use a network connection and your computer's Web browser to access the D400
HMI.
The D400 HMI Login screen may not appear correctly if you are using Internet Explorer 8
with the Security level set to High. To see the entire Login screen, set the Security level to
Medium: go to Tools > Internet Options > Security > Local Intranet > Custom Level >
Reset to.
The D400 supports a network connection over the LAN or through a connection to the
D400's front network port. For network connection setup information, see "Network
connections" on page 65".
The D400 HMI is based on the web-based programming language Java. The Web browser
must be equipped with a plug-in that supports Java. The D400 is designed to operate with
version 6.0 (or later) of the Internet Explorer
and enabled on your PC to operate the D400 HMI. When you log into the D400, the D400
automatically detects if your Web browser has the JRE installed. If not, the JVM Detection
window gives choices for installing the JRE.
1. Open your Web browser and enter the URL (in the form of http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd) of
the D400. The Log In screen displays. The default IP address is http://192.168.168.81.
2. Type your HMI Supervisor user name and password. The default user name is
supervisor and the default password is super123$.
3. Click Log In.
Result: If your login is successful, the D400 Home page appears.
