It is designed to complement, not replace, the product manuals. Make sure you have the required manuals available and up to date. Requirements X5 products are based on Linux BSP UN75 version 1.3.xxx and require JMobile version 4.5.0.xxx or later for programming activity. INFORMATION X5 products are not compatible with programming using JMobile version 4.0 or earlier.
When entering passwords for the first time you will not be required to insert the old (default) password. Keep note of the passwords you have defined. If you forget them, you must restore the X5 device to factory default, wiping out the whole configuration.
X5 Wireless works with two primary system configurations. Each configuration presents distinct strengths and weaknesses. Client/Server Configuration (JMobile Client on Handheld) JMobile runtime is running on Base Station. X5 Wireless handheld runs JMobile client and connects to Base Station through the Wi-Fi network. Strengths: in case of configurations with multiple base stations and a single handheld, the handheld is automatically loading the HMI program when connecting to the Base Station.
PLC protocol requires routing through Base Station. Performance to be evaluated case by case. in case of configurations with multiple base stations and a single handheld, the handheld must be programmed with an HMI program suitable for use with all machines.

This demonstration configuration offers valuable insights into the Device Publisher functionality, emphasizing its efficiency and the speed of updates. The JMobile project file that will be developed for this configuration operates in client/server mode, a method that adds substantial value to the X5 presentation.
Wiring X5 Base Station Operating X5 Base Station requires appropriate wiring. Refer to product Installation Guides and User Manual for details. INFORMATION Pairing lamp is required to carry out the pairing process. 24 Vdc power must be applied to connector X7 in addition to powering the Base Station itself at connector X1.
Minimum wiring required for test operation is shown in figure. Connect to X5 connector a 24 Vdc lamp (0.5 A max) or a LED with a 2K7 resistor in series. Configuring X5 Base Station You must complete the configuration of Base Station first. It will serve as the access point for the safety network.

Define a NAT rule to prepare direct access to X5 Wireless handheld Open Router/NAT/Port forwarding Device IP (that is the address of the X5 Wireless handheld within the Wi-Fi network) is fixed and should not be changed. The Source IP refers to the address allocated to the Base Station (BS) within its network context.
Create a new entry in the list with the UID of a new device pressing the button “+” to start the process. Use the UID number printed on the BS module to identify the BS you are connecting. X5 Wireless Quick Start Guide - ptn0723-05 exorint.com...

Auto connect at startup: checked. Fit to screen size: checked. 13 Now on X5 Wireless handheld screen you will see the project file that is running in Base Station. Normal interactivity with the HMI application is possible. 14 Connect a VNC client to the address of the handheld as defined in previous chapter. That will allow you to have simple monitoring/diagnostic access to the content of the screen in X5 Wireless handheld.
Device Publisher is a software application designed to provide fast transfer of certain device data from handheld to the PLC/controller connected to the Base Station. This is an important requirement for applications where X5 is used for direct interaction with machines.
Note that Modbus in UDP mode is only sending out datagrams and does not expect response from the server. The protocol in Device Publisher does not establish communication sessions and does not provide error information, even in case the server is not present. X5 Wireless Quick Start Guide - ptn0723-05 exorint.com...
How to Receive Data from Device Publisher Device Publisher uses Modbus TCP protocol in UDP mode to send X5 device information. Port number 502, standard assignment to Modbus TCP and UDP, is used as default. The software application uses only one data packet to send information using Modbus Function Code 16, Write Multiple Registers.
This software revision maintains the original information while enhancing the flow and readability of the description. The X5 Base Station and X5 Wireless handheld may have different BSP versions, resulting in the use of different Pairing app versions. All combinations are viable and supported to ensure proper operation.

6.2.2 List Sorting The X5 Pairing app streamlines the management process of X5 BS by presenting a list of these devices, each associated with its unique UID number. In situations where the number of devices becomes substantial, manual navigation of the list using the handheld can become a challenging effort with an increased susceptibility to errors.
BS lists. copying BS lists from one X5 wireless handheld to another. Managing BS lists require a USB Flash drive attached to one of the USB ports in the X5 Wireless handheld. Import and Export command buttons are available in the Pairing app settings page.
Copy the file ‘Import_List.txt’ to the root folder of a USB Flash drive. Insert the USB flash drive into any of the USB ports on the X5 handheld device. Go to Pairing app settings and press the button “Import”.
This input triggers a recovery procedure to reset the safety state of BS to IDLE when the device itself is either in SAFE or SAFE-P state (refer to X5 User Manual for details). The Auxiliary Unpairing Input is only active during these conditions. The Auxiliary Unpairing Input is edge sensitive. To activate the input, change the value from OFF to ON.
