XV Operator Interface Models
with Visual Designer

2.5.1 Examining and Adjusting the IP-Address of the Unit

Power up the unit. After Windows CE has booted from the OS-flash
press the Start button and go to Programs à Control Panel.
Open the icon "Network" with a double click.
Open the icon "ONBOARD1" with a double click.
The IP address and subnet mask must be consistent to the network
configuration of the PC respective to the company network. If you
have questions ask your network administrator.
Once an IP address has been established for the XV unit, further
changes may be accomplished using a remote desktop connection
to the unit from the development PC. A utility called RemoteClient.
exe can be downloaded from the Eaton website and copied to the
development PC which will provide remote desktop control of the
XV unit over Ethernet.

2.5.2 Wiring

Connect the XV unit directly to the development PC with an
Ethernet crossover cable. If you use an Ethernet hub, switch or
router, use a standard Ethernet patch cable.
Some newer PCs come with an auto-sensing Ethernet port that
will automatically adjust the internal port connection so that a patch
cable will work between the PC and XV unit without the need for a
special Ethernet crossover cable. Consult your PC documentation or
manufacturer to determine if your PC supports this feature.
A window 'FEC Ethernet Driver' will
open. Select the desired IP address
and subnet mask using the left
right arrow buttons to increment or
decrement the value of each field.
Use the gateway only when needed
then push OK.

2.5.3 Test the Ethernet Connection

To test the connection open the "Command Prompt" on your PC
(Start à Programs à Accessories) and ping the IP address of the
unit. (ping 192.168.1.72).
If the unit does not reply and instead returns "Request timed out"
then contact your network administrator for troubleshooting
assistance.

3. the first Visual Designer project

This chapter provides an overview of Visual Designer and helps the
user create a simple application which should demonstrate the con-
nection of the XV-102/152 to an external PLC.
Requirements:
The Visual Designer visualization software must be installed cor-
rectly. You can find the current Visual Designer software on Eaton's
Electrical group homepage under Products and Services, Automation
and Control, Operator Interface, and Operator Interface Software.
(www.eaton.com/Electrical/USA/ProductsandServices/
AutomationandControl/OperatorInterface/
OperatorInterfaceSoftware)
Under Software Downloads you will find Visual Designer Software.
The XV-102/152 unit is supported with VISUAL DESIGNER version
V7 .0.0 or greater. For unrestricted operation of VISUAL DESIGNER
development you need a license which is contained in a USB license
key. There are two different licenses available. The first is Catalog
# VISUALDCE which will allow development on only XV models
(Windows CE). The second is Catalog # VISUALDXP which will
develop applications for all XV, XP and selected ePro PS models.
Please contact your Eaton or distributor sales person for additional
information.
