3.3 Network operation with HMI Embedded
The NCU hardware has its own network card and can be integrated in an existing
network.
If the appropriate option is set, additional horizontal softkeys can be integrated in
HMI Embedded with icons for a mapped drive or a local drive.
Possible connections
The number of connections between the HMI Embedded system and different
servers or local drives is limited to eight.
These connections are also called "logical drives" and can be parameterized in
three different ways.
1. from the HMI user interface
2. using machine data
3. using the "Logdrive.ini" file
3.3.1 Parameterizing the drive connection from the HMI user interface
The drive connections (local, network and USB drives) and their softkeys are set
up in the settings window of the startup operating area.
Network connections can be defined or parameterized in the screen displayed
below. These connections, also known as "logical drives", can refer to either a
network connection or an internal drive, such as a PCMCIA memory-card interface
(CompactFlash Card) and USB interfaces (including a diskette drive connected via
USB).
Procedure
• Press the "Startup" softkey.
• Press the "Connections" softkey.
• Press the "Logical drives" softkey.
