Remote Viewer

Sets up the GP-Viewer EX feature.

Screen Changes from Client

Defines whether or not you can change the display screen from the GP-Viewer EX client.

  • If this item is not selected, even users with read/write permission in Security Settings cannot switch the screen from the GP-Viewer EX side.

FTP Settings

FTP Function

Select to use the FTP feature.

Web Server Settings

Web Server

Set the Web Server function.

Web Server Function

Defines whether or not GP data is made available using a Web page.

HTTP Port Number

Set the port number used by the Web Server function with a value from 1 to 65535.

  • We recommend that you use port number 80. However, if 80 is not available because of the firewall or other issues, you may need to change the port number.

  • As the number of available ports is limited by the firewall, please confirm with your firewall settings.

Time Zone Settings

Time Zone

Use this property when you enable the Web Server to display alarm information on the RSS reader.

Difference from Greenwich Mean Time

Set up the standard time for the location of the remote viewer (where the computer is installed) as an offset from the Greenwich Mean Time.

By setting up the time zone for your remote viewer, the time of alarms on the RSS reader will display the same time as the Web Server and display unit.

37.18.1.2 Remote Access - Web Server

  • When running remote viewers from multiple regions, set the time zone of the region where the display unit is installed. In this case, the RSS reader displays the adjusted time. (The time displayed may differ from the time that appears on the Web Server or display unit.)

Camera Viewer Settings

Camera Viewer

Set the Camera-Viewer EX function.

Enable

Select the check box to enable the Camera-Viewer EX function.

Pro-face Remote HMI Settings

Pro-face Remote HMI Settings

Sets up the Pro-face Remote HMI function. Select to operate the display unit as a Pro-face Remote HMI server.

Server name

Specify the Server Name within 32 characters. Allowable characters are single-byte alphanumeric characters and symbols.

Single byte symbols: ! " % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? _

On the client, a server list screen displays, where you can identify the server.

Connection Password

Sets the password required for accessing the server from the client.

The password must be 8 to 16 single-byte characters, and must include one upper-case alphabetic character, one lower-case alphabetic character, a number, and one of the following symbols.

Single byte symbols: ! " % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? _

Synchronous/Asynchronous

Select the connection mode between the client and server.

After connecting the client and server in synchronous mode, you can switch between synchronous and asynchronous modes from the client side.

Connects in synchronous mode only.

Connects in asynchronous mode only.

Port number

Sets the port number.

Connection timeout (minutes)

Sets the amount of time until for the connection timeout.

If the connection timeout time has elapsed with no operations on the client, the server will drop the connection with the client.
If you want the server to keep the connection with the client, set 0.

Operation priority

Selects the frequency of server responses to the client.

Responses to the client are performed at a frequency of approximately 300 milliseconds.

Functions besides RemoteHMI are given priority, which could increase the time a client waits for a response from the server.

The response cycle for clients is faster. Use this option to improve communication and for when you want to update the display in real time.

Monopolize touch (seconds)

Specify the amount of time to restrict touch operations from other equipment after the server or one of the clients performs a touch operation.

This feature does not work if 0 has been set.

Initial screen number for synchronous connection

Sets the screen number to display when connecting from the client in asynchronous mode, or when changing from synchronous to asynchronous mode.

If you set 0, displays the current screen on the server.

Alarm Monitor

Specify whether or not to share the alarm triggered status with the client side.

Does not share the alarm triggered status.

Shares the alarm triggered status. "History" or "Active" history data is used to check the alarm status.

Shares the alarm triggered status. "Log" history data is used to check the alarm status.

#H_RemoteHMI_DisconnectMode

Set the default value of #H_RemoteHMI_DisconnectMode.

Initial Value

The unit is one second.

When using #H_RemoteHMI_DisconnectMode, the system disconnects the Remote HMI client after the number of seconds defined in the system variable elapses. The regular time out is 30 seconds.
When a connection problem occurs while client operations are taking place, you can use this property to decrease the likelihood of inadvertent operation due to quickly closed connections.
A.2.2.2 Word Type - #H System Variables

Allow multiple client connections

Multiple clients can connect to the server at the same time. The maximum number of simultaneous connections depends on the server.

IPC Series, SP5000 Series: 5 clients

GP4000 Series (excluding GP-4201TM, GP-4301TM and GP-Rear Module), LT4000 Series: 3 clients

GP-4201TM, GP-4301TM, GP-Rear Module: 2 clients

In asynchronous mode, only one client can connect. When there is a client connected in asynchronous mode, other clients cannot change to asynchronous mode.
