Introduction
What is a
CE Video
Terminal
A CE VIDEO TERMINAL (VTCE) is a device that is part of the Handheld

PC category with which the Windows CE operating system programmed
and can be loaded and which can run supervisory programs that control or
simply monitor a productive process. It can send commands using
configured by the user; it can send data determining the process on hand and
can display information deriving from the productive process. The information can be in the form of an Alarm, an Information (Info-) Message or in
binary data format.
The VTCEs can be divided into two groups: those with a keyboard and
those without but equipped with a Touch Screen.
All VTCEs can be supplemented with accessories to boost and broaden
their performance, for example, by using the CIB board a connection can be
made to a CAN network and/or to over 90% of devices on the market that
are supported by ESA.
To operate the VTCE a project needs to be created (using supervisory or
similar programs) that must be loaded into the VTCE (see Chapter 13 ->
Software compatibility).
For detailed information on individual VTCEs see the relevant chapters
below.
A characteristic of VTCE terminals is to have startup time of up
to 30 seconds from switching on.
While in the startup phase the display remains inactive and there
is nothing to be seen.

CHAPTER 1
1-2 General information on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Electronic devices are being increasingly used in automated systems. programmable controllers (like the PLC) belong to this category, as do
Man-machine-interface systems (e.g. the CE Video Terminal), control systems (e.g. diagnostic terminals), interface elements (e.g. interface boards)
and AC-DC drives. Together with this type of electronic apparatus, you
find installed classical electro-mechanical devices like contactors, electro-valves, motors etc.
Electrical disturbances caused by the operation of these devices can compromise the smooth functioning and the length of the working life of the
electronic devices present on the same switchboard or the same plant. To
get the best out of both the electrical and the electronic devices it is necessary to reduce electrical disturbance.
Laying cables
Remember to lay measurement, monitoring and communication cables so

that they are kept apart from power cables. Power cables laid close and parallel to communication cables can cause coupling voltages that are strong
enough to disturb or destroy electronic components.
Shielding of
cables
It is essential to use suitably shielded cables for communication signal connections (total shielding is recommended). The shielding must be connected to the zero potential.
Earthing of
shielding and
electronic
circuits
With many devices the "0V" is connected to the earth. The signal ground
must be earthed but it is best to separate the ground of the shields and circuits from that of the power circuits. Note that the earth can only perform
its function if the "Resistance of the earth circuit" is within the max. limits
prescribed.
Switching of
capacitive
loads
The current peaks which occur when capacitive loads are switched on can
damage or destroy control devices. Furthermore, the high-frequency component of the current peak can cause serious disturbance in electronic circuits as a result of inductive coupling between the connection cables.
Switching off
inductive
loads
When an inductive load is switched off, the magnetic energy stored tends to
oppose this, discharging a voltage peak down the line which can damage or
destroy the control device. Furthermore, the high-frequency component of
the voltage peak can cause disturbance caused by capacitive coupling
between the connection cables.
The physical structure and characteristics of an inductive load make it
impossible to carry out switching without disturbance unless suitable measures are taken. The disturbance can be at least partially suppressed by fitting a suitable disturbance-suppression module in parallel with the
inductive load. The disturbance-suppression module must not constitute an
additional load during the work phase. Electrical disturbance is propagated
both through the connection cables and electromagnetic transmission. If the
disturbance is propagated by cable or electromagnetic transmission, it is
much more difficult to suppress at the inputs to the units in the danger zone
than it is to suppress the disturbance at its source. If the disturbance is cre-

ated by connection cables or by electronic transmission, it is much more

difficult to suppress it at the inputs of the devices in dangerous areas than at
source,
If possible, disturbance should be suppressed at source.

The above configurations will seriously damage certain components of the VTCE.
Beware of appliances with the POSITIVE connected to PE.
It is vital that the earth of the devices connected to the serial
and/or parallel communication ports have the same voltage as the
0V supply of the VTCE. The circulation of current between the 0V supply and the earth of the communication ports could damage certain
components of the VTCE or of the devices connected it.

Calibration of
Touch Screen
The screen of VT585CE is made of resistive, sensitive glass; fot this type of
glass to work properly it requires a calibration procedure (the terminal is
already calibrated when supplied), that is, the resistive area of the glass
has to be adjusted to the visible are of the display.
Should it be thought necessary to repeat the calibration procedure this can
be done by following the instructions set out below.
The procedure must be carried out with great care as the precision ofthe keys area depends on the callibration.
405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003
CHAPTER 4
How to perform the calibration procedure:

Make sure the VTCE is not connected to the power supply
Remove the back cover
Identify jumper X9
Calibration
Position X9 as shown in the figure.

Reconnect the power supply and switch on the terminal; the following
mask appears:

The calibration has finished:

Switch off the terminal
Reposition X9 in its original position
Replace the back cover
Switch on the terminal again

Calibration of
Touch Screen
The screen of VT595CE is made of resistive, sensitive glass; fot this type of
glass to work properly it requires a calibration procedure (the terminal is
already calibrated when supplied), that is, the resistive area of the glass
has to be adjusted to the visible are of the display.
Should it be thought necessary to repeat the calibration procedure this can
be done by following the instructions set out below.
The procedure must be carried out with great care as the precision ofthe keys area depends on the callibration.
405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003

6-2 Inserting customized labels
VTCE terminals are supplied with labels already set in the appropriate
spaces.
If it is necessary to customize keys, the logo or the model the labels can be
replaced with the neutral ones supplied in kit with the terminal (only for
F-keys) or by inserting labels of other materials provided they conform
with the points set out below.
Failure to follow the following indications may cause damage to
the terminal.
Label
The label must be of a material that is flexible and does not exceed 125m
(micrometers).
Use neither stiff materials nor glues.
Warnings
Before starting to insert the customized label the following points MUST
BE observed:
Remove the label already inserted.
Follow the indications set out in the paragraph Label.
Do not use compressed air to help insert the label.
Do not use rigid or other instruments to insert the label.
Do not fold the label between the terminal and the casing. The following
figures illustrate the correct and the incorrect positions for the label.
Correct insertion:

8-2 Communication ports
All VTCEs communicate with other devices by means of serial and/or parallel communication ports. We list on the following page the individual
ports with the respective type of communication and the function of the
connection pins.
General notes
Serial communication is particularly prone to disturbances. To limit the influence of these disturbances it is necessary to use good quality shielded cables.
The table immediately below lists the characteristics of the cable we recommend for serial connection.
Specifications of serial connection cable
Direct current resistance
Max. 151 Ohm/Km
Capacity coupling
Max. 29pF/m
Shielding
> 80% or total
Particular care should be taken in the choice and lay-out of cables,

specially with regard to the VTCE <-> Device connection serial cable.
Always:
Find the shortest route
Lay disturbed cables separately
Disconnect the power supply before connecting or disconnecting
the communication cables so as to avoid possible damage to the
VTCE and/or the connected device.

CHAPTER 10
10-2 Basic concepts
This chapter limits itself to introducing some simple but basic concepts to
help first-time users of VTCE terminals.
Windows CE is a standard operating system and as such none of
its operational procedures and concepts have been determined by
ESA elettronica.
RAM
The RAM memory is used by the system to run programs, calculations and
whatever else is needed for the system to operate properly; furthermore, it
is used for saving (whether manually or following the installation of an
application package) all files loaded by the user.
The RAM memory is not buffered by a battery.
When the terminal is switched off all the information it contains is cancelled, including the files and programs. If it is necessary to keep the files
after switching off, these must be moved to/put in a Flash Disk.
Flash Disk
VTCE terminals have no hard disk but rather use a flash disk and handle
this like a solid state hard disk. The files that have been loaded or the application packages that have to be kept permanently even after switching off
the terminal must be placed in the folder My Computer\FlashDisk in the
main root or in a sub-folder.
The FlashDisk is managed so as to guarantee the security of the data; this
means that even when there is no power, the data being written at that
moment will be saved.
Storage Card
This is an external device (the PCMCIA is card not supplied by ESA, its
supply is the responsibility of the user) that is inserted in the terminal and is
used to increase the capacity of its (permanent) memory. Once the card has
been inserted the system will automatically display a system folder called
My Computer\Storage Card. The files that have been loaded or the application packages that have to be kept permanently even after switching off the
terminal can be placed in the folder in the main root or in a sub-folder.
The card can be inserted without switching the terminal off.
Saving the
Registry
As indicated earlier, the VTCE terminal uses non-permanent memory, thus,

with the exception of the initial settings given by ESA, all the settings are
lost when the terminal is switched off.
405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003
10-3
The saving of the configuration register (Registry) enables the settings to be

saved in the permanent memory area.
The configuration register must be saved every time there is a change of
parameters, for example, following a network setting, a remote connection
or the installation of an application, etc.
You are advised to carry out a save after each installation or
each time settings are changed.
To
activate
this
function,
click
on
Windows Explorer or double-click on

of the terminal. Double-click on
Start
Programs
Windows, then double-click on

(Regedit) on the Desktop of
Write.
Once the saving phase has finished click on
to close the window.
The saving procedure may require a few seconds.

Calibrating the
Touch Screen
The VT5xxCE terminal is supplied already calibrated and operational;

should it be thought necessary to repeat the calibration procedure, this can
be done using the appropriate software function or it is so far out that the
function cannot be activated, the calibration can be forced by using a hardware jumper (see Page 4-9 or Page 5-9).
To activate the function click on
double-click on
Start > Settings > Control Panel, then
(Stylus).
Then browse the

to click on Calibration.
Click on the
Recalibrate.
Then follow the instructions on screen. Once the calibration has been completed click on
to accept the changes and close the window.
Proceed to save the configuration register if you want the settings to be

made permanent (see Chapter 10 -> Saving the Registry).

Enabling communication
with remote
terminals
To make it possible for the terminal to be connected to a PC or a remote terminal it is necessary to assign a name that identifies it unambiguously. The
terminal is supplied with a name defined by ESA but this has to be changed
for it to work properly.
To activate the function click on the

Direct PC /
VTCE connection using
Ethernet
This type of connection makes it possible for the PC and VTCE to

exchange files simply and rapidly using Windows Explorer on the CE terminal. The connection utilizes the Server and Client mechanism, so it is
necessary for the PC (which becomes the Server) to share its folder or folders to be put at the disposal of the VTCE terminal (which becomes the Client).
For more on the folder sharing procedure see the on-line manual
of the operative system installed.
The direct connection must be made by means of a crossover Ethernet network cable (for details on the cable see Chapter 9 -> VTCE video terminal
accessories).
CVNET11102
You are advised to carry out all

connection and disconnection operations with the VTCE off.
Once the physical connection has been made proceed to set the parameters
as follows.

Testing the connection:

If required you can test whether the system is operating properly by running
the command PING on the PC.
Go to the PCs command prompt and digit ping followed by the IP address
assigned to the VTCE and then confirm by pressing the Enter key (e.g. ping
192.168.100.5).
If the connections and settings have been made correctly, response strings
will appear containing the IP address requested; contrariwise, if expired
request strings appear, this means that there are connection problems; in
this case look over the entire procedure including the connection cable.

Making the connection between PC and VTCE:

Install Active Sync (by following the instructions on-screen) on the PC to
be connected to the VTCE.
Even if there is no explicit request when the installation is over we
advise you to disconnect the serial cable and restart the PC; once
it has restarted, reconnect the serial cable and try connecting with the
VTCE terminal.
Once the installation has finished, and after setting the communication
parameters on the PC, establish the connection.
While the program is searching for the logical connection, go to the VTCE
and click on the Start > Programs > Windows Explorer or double-click
on
(My Computer) on the Desktop of the terminal. Double-click on the
Windows, then double-click on

(Replog). A connection window is
displayed which then closes automatically when the connection is established.
The PC displays the request establish a relationship, answer NO and click
the Next; the terminal is seen by the PC as a Guest, at this point close
the window that is being displayed.
The VTCE is recognized by the PC by means of Explore Resources as
Portable device: files can be transferred and installations carried out on
the VTCE terminal.
The connection can only be made using COM, other communication ports (USB, Ethernet, etc.) cannot be used and so we advise
you to deactivate them.

Automatic
execution of
applications
When in the start phase VTCE terminal calls for an automatic execution
procedure for the applications.
To do this create a
Disk\ESA\Startup.
on the VTCE terminal; this must be called Flash-
The name and path of the folder MUST be precisely as set out
above, otherwise the files will not be found.
To create the new folder click on
or double click on
(My Computer) on the Desktop of the terminal. Double click on the FlashDisk then click on File > New Folder.
Once the above-mentioned folder has been created you can proceed in two
ways:
Load .EXE file
Just copy the .exe file of the application directly into the previously
created . To copy or move the files, see, if necessary Pag. 11-4 ->
Direct PC / VTCE connection using Ethernet or Pag. 11-10 ->
Connection in Ethernet or Pag. 11-14 -> PC / VTCE connection
using serial port.
The .ESA file is created and loaded
Should it be possible directly to use the executable file, proceed by
creating a text file called Startup.esa putting into it the complete path
of where the execurable file can be found and , if necessary, the
parameters requested by the .exe file. Only one executable file is
required for every row.
Example.
\FlashDisk\Demo\Demo.exe \FlashDisk\Demo\Project.prj
\FlashDisk\Myfolder\Myfile.exe
The name of the file MUST be Startup.esa otherwise it will
not be found.
Only invocations for .EXE files and any parameters can be
added.
If the file is edited outside the VTCE terminal, it must be
saved as Unicode text document.

CHAPTER 12
12-2 Resistance to chemical substances
All our VTCEs are built to withstand the effects of the more common
chemical substances encountered in industrial and non-industrial environments. Each element of the VTCE that could be exposed to these substances (epoxy coating, keyboard membrane, screen surface, touch screen
and gaskets), is tested to determine its degree of resistence.
The type of test is not the same for each component but changes according
to the testing authority. Below is an example of a test (carried out by Alcatel Bell).
The test procedure was as follows:
A 2 cm ball of cotton wool was immersed in the test substance and then
placed on the keyboard. Two cotton wool balls with different substances
were placed separately on each keyboard; this was then put in a Petri dish
and kept at a temperature of 25C for an hour; after this, the keyboard was
washed in water and dried.
The keyboard was observed and the results classified as follows:
A - No visible deterioration
B - Very slight deterioration
C - Some deterioration
D - Gross damage visible
The substances not appearing in the table were not tested, so there
is no information regarding their effect.
Chemical
substances
The table shown below lists all the substances used for the test with their
various results.
The table must nevertheless be considered an approximate guide
regard chemical substances: no tests have been carried out on a
completely assembled terminal.

This chapter deals EXCLUSIVELY with the settings and procedures necessary for using a Movicon project in Windows CE.
Serial COM1
Devices supported by
Movicon
A knowledge of Movicon is indispensable in order to be able to follow this chapter. Without this, it is better to turn to the documentation coming from the producer or the Progea Technical Assistance.
Installation
The installation procedure is divided in two parts: the first consists in the
installation of the basic version of Movicon, after which the update Movicon CE is installed, which allows you to create projects for VTCE terminals
(see also Chapter 13 -> Software compatibility).
What is set out below may be modified by Progea at any point
with ESA knowing, consequently the installation procedure
described here may include some imprecision as to details.
If problems of installation are encountered or clarifications
regarding the installation procedure are required, it is better to
turn to the documentation coming from the producer or the Progea
Technical Assistance.
Put the Cd-Rom into the appropriate drive; if the PCs automatic loading
notification has been activated, the Movicon presentation will start automatically, if not, click on Start > Run
Digit e:\Setup.exe and confirm with OK.
If the drive to be used is not e:, digit the appropriate letter.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
It is recommended that Normal Installation be selected for the
installation phase.
405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003
14-3
Once Movicon has been installed, proceed with the Movicon CE update.
Proceed as for the preceding point: if it does not start automatically click on
Start > Run and digit e:\Setup.exe then confirm with OK.
Start the installation following the on-screen instructions and taking care to
set the following parameters as set out below:
Select Device
Select Language
Select Components
Select Communications
Select Processor type
->
->
->
->
->
Handheld PC2000
As desidered
All (Recommended)
All (Recommended)
Other processor (ARM, SHx, x86)
Close installation in line with the instructions.

If there is a serial cable connection between the PC and the VTCE and a
connection has been established using Microsoft Active Sync (see Chapter
11 -> Using the system), Movicon will automatically install the files
needed for handling the project. If this is not the case, the transfer to the
VTCE can be carried out manually later (see Page 14-3 -> Transferring
Movicon files to a VTCE).
The project
A project can be created without having a VTCE available.

A knowledge of Movicon is indispensable in order to be able to follow this chapter. Without this, it is better to turn to the documentation coming from the producer or the Progea Technical Assistance
Settings for
projects for
Windows CE
There are no special procedures and/or settings for creating a project working on a VTCE terminal. You need only to keep in mind CEs limitations.
For a more detailed description, see Movicons on-line Guide.
Transferring
Movicon files
to a VTCE
The next step is to transfer all the files necessary for Movicon to handle the
project on the VTCE terminal.
Before starting, check that there is a Serial connection between the PC and
the VTCE (see Chapter 11 -> Using the system).
Use a serial cable connection and establish the connection by
means of Microsoft Active Sync (see Chapter 11 -> Using the system).

HPC2000 > MovCE English Installation.

The file transfer masks are displayed; follow the on-screen instructions.
Note:
The destination path depends on the type of support that is to take the
project:
Hard disk
PCMCIA
->
->
\FlashDisk\My path\
\Storage Card\My path\
Other paths are possible, but when the VTCE terminal is

switched off all the data is lost (see Chapter 10 -> Basic concepts).
Sometimes, for reasons not attributable to ESA, the processor in
the terminals is not recognized by Movicon. When this happens
contact the Progea Technical Assistance.
Transferring a
project to a
VTCE
Now the project is transferred.

Before starting, check that there is a Serial connection between the PC and
the VTCE (see Chapter 11 -> Using the system).
Use a serial cable connection and establish the connection by
means of Microsoft Active Sync (see Chapter 11 -> Using the system).
Click on
Select the
File > Export project for WinCE
desired.
Click on OK.
Note:
The destination path depends on the type of support that is to take the
project:
Hard disk
PCMCIA
->
->
\FlashDisk\My path\
Other paths are possible, but when the VTCE terminal is
405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003
14-5
switched off all the data is lost (see Chapter 10 -> Basic concepts).
The final destination is the same as the source.
For example. Suppose we wish the transfer to be onto FlashDisk:
Path on PC
Path on VTCE
-> C:\Programs\Progea\My project

-> \FlashDisk\Programs\Progea\My project
To activate the project, double-click on the file MovCE.exe (see Page 14-3
-> Transferring Movicon files to a VTCE for the path; a mask for choosing the project to be run is displayed.
Search the folders until

you find the project to
be run.
Select the
desired.
Click on OK.
The first time you try to connect a mask appears for entering the Site Key
for which Progea must be asked. Should you not yet be in possession of this
code, the project can be run in DEMO mode (a message appears indicating
the type of mode).
Compile using the

code supplied by
Progea.
Click on OK.
If you want the project to be activated automatically on switching on the terminal, you will have to introduce the file Startup.esa and compile it as follows
(see also Chapter 11 -> Automatic execution of applications).
\FlashDisk\My path\MovCe.exe \FlashDisk\My path\My project.prj
where My path must be replaced with the complete path of where the
respective files are to be found. For example:
\FlashDisk\Movicon\MovCe.exe\FlashDisk\My project\My project.prj

This chapter deals EXCLUSIVELY with the settings and procedures

needed to use a ZenOn project with Windows CE.
A project can be created to function directly with a VTCE terminal and
devices supported by Zenon or, when an optional card (CIB) is added to the
terminal, projects can be created that function with VTCE terminals and all
the devices supported by ESA.

A knowledge of ZenOn is indispensable in order to be able to follow this chapter. Without this, it is better to turn to the documentation coming from the producer or the COPA-DATA Technical
Assistance.
Installation
The installation procedure is divided in two parts: the first consists in the
installation of the basic version of ZenOn, after which the updated ZenOn
CE is installed, which allows you to create projects for VTCE terminals
(see also Chapter 13 -> Software compatibility).
What is set out below may be modified by COPA-DATA at any
point with ESA knowing, consequently the installation procedure
described here may include some imprecision as to details.
405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003
15-3
If problems of installation are encountered or clarifications

regarding the installation procedure are required, it is better to
turn to the documentation coming from the producer or the
COPA-DATA Technical Assistance.
Put the Cd-Rom into the appropriate drive; if the PCs automatic loading
notification has been activated, the ZenOn presentation will start automatically, if not, click on Start > Run
Digit e:\Setup.bat and confirm with OK.
If the drive to be used is not e:, digit the appropriate letter.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
It is recommended that Complete Installation be selected for
the installation phase.
Once the ZenOn installation has been completed, proceed with the
ZenOn CE update.
Proceed as for the preceding point; if it does not start automatically click on
Start > Run and digit e:\zenOn_CE_Setup.exe then confirm with OK.
Again follow the on-screen instructions.
The ZenOn CE destination folder must be the same as that in
which ZenOn has been installed.
The project
As already mentioned, the projects can be created work both with and without a CIB board. The configuration mode changes slightly depending on the
type of project that you wish to create. Consequently there is an explicit
indication of those operations to be carried out only when there is a CIB
board. Where there is no such specification, the operations should considered as common to both types of project.
A project can be created without having a VTCE available.
A knowledge of ZenOn is indispensable in order to be able to follow
this chapter. Without this, it is better to turn to the documentation
coming from the producer or the COPA-DATA Technical Assistance.

Select the project

WindowsCE (1).
Then select the
Remote transport.
This mask is used to

define, among other
parameters, the mode
of transfer of the
project to the VTCE
terminal (1) and the
destination folder (2).
1) Transfer can be
over the Serial port (a)
or over the Ethernet
network (b). Set as in
figure (a) or (b),
depending on the
choice made.
2) Enter the complete
destination path of the
project. The path refers
to the VTCE terminal.
Click on OK close
the mask and accept
the settings.
Note:
When using transfer by Ethernet network (b) the XXX must be replaced
with the TCP/IP address of the VTCE terminal connected and must be
followed by a semi-colon ( ; ). For further details regarding the connections see Chapter 11 -> Using the system.
405.1200.048.2 - Rel.: 2.00 of 15/05/2003

The destination path depends on the support you want your project to be
on:
Hard disk
PCMCIA
->
->
\FlashDisk\My path\
Other paths are possible, but all data is lost when the VTCE
terminal is switched off (see Chapter 10 -> Basic concepts).
It is sufficient to set the principal path and all the subfolders of the
project will adopt the same path as their destination.

Transfer of
ZenOn files to
VTCE terminal
To transfer projects, ZenOn uses a program (SysSrvCE.exe) that must be

installed on the VTCE terminal which functions as a server for the transmission. The first time you transfer the server is activated automatically.
Thereafter, every time you need to establish a communication between
ZenOn and the VTCE terminal you need to activate the server manually by
double-clicking on the file.
Before continuing check that there is a Serial and/or Ethernet connection
(see Chapter 11 -> Using the system) between PC and VTCE.
The first time you transfer the project it is INDISPENSABLE to
use the serial cable connection and to have established the connection by means of Microsoft Active Sync (see Chapter 11 -> Using the
system).

Sometimes, for reasons not attributable to ESA, the processor that

has been mounted on the terminal is not recognized by ZenOn,
consequently every time the message Processor: UNKNOWN is displayed in the transfer mask, the operations carried put in the
Sources must be repeated.
If everything works well the VTCE terminal will show a mask like that
below.
Transferring a
