Uploading Web Pages to the CNX-DVP4

The CNX-DVP4 provides a built-in Web server for e-Control applications. The
CNX-DVP4 allots Web pages, mailbox, and the compiled SPZ file to be downloaded
to compact flash. The only limit is the size of your compact flash card and your
project assigned files.
VT Pro-e
In most cases, you create a VT Pro-e browser project to generate the Web pages for
uploading to the CNX-DVP4.
For e-Control projects:
•
When an e-Control browser project is created, VT Pro-e automatically
creates a folder with the name of the project and a .web extension. This web
project folder itself contains a Java subfolder, in addition to all the HTML
files that are sent to the CNX-DVP4. In VT Pro e, the target type is
BROWSER.
For e-Control 2 projects:
•
When an e-Control 2 project is created, VT Pro-e automatically creates a
folder with the name of the project and a .xweb extension. The web project
folder contains all the necessary e-Control 2 files. In VT Pro e, the target
type is XPANEL.
In designing and creating a browser project, keep in mind that you must assign an IP
ID to all the project pages and specify the IP address of the CNX-DVP4 (For further
information on this procedure, refer to the VT Pro-e online help file).
SIMPL Windows
For each IP ID in the VT Pro-e browser project, there must be one corresponding e-
Control PC Interface symbol defined in the SIMPL Windows program. The PC
Interface symbol is one of the Ethernet Modules that can be dropped on the
C2ENET-1 card slot.
As with all Ethernet devices, the PC Interface must receive an entry in the IP Table
of the CNX-DVP4. Here the IP ID must match the IP ID that was assigned in VT
Pro-e, while the IP address must be set to local host: 127.0.0.1.
Viewport
To transfer the Web pages to the CNX-DVP4, use the File Transfer | Send Web
Pages command.
The options are to send an entire project, only files that have changed, or a single
HTML file. With the "Transfer Entire Project" option, click OK when reminded to
select a default page, and then browse to the appropriate VT Pro-e .web project
folder. Select the file that was designated as the "first" page of the project. This will
be the default Web page that is displayed whenever the IP address of the control
system is accessed by a Web browser. Click Open, and then OK to begin the
transfer.
If any files in the VT Pro-e project change, the changed files can be transferred to the
CNX-DVP4 without resending the entire project by choosing the "Only Transfer
Files that have Changed" option. Here again, browse to the .web project folder and
select the default page. Click Open, and then OK to transfer the changed files.
Finally, selecting Transfer Single File can send a single HTML file. Browse to the
file and click Open. Then specify the file's relative path (from the root directory)
and click OK.
