Google Gmail end suport for " less secure apps " ends may 30 2022

​05.04.2022

From 30'th of may 2022 gmail accounts no longer support "less secure apps".
This means that  the IX / X2 terminals email client no longer can use the gmail servers.  Switching to another major isp, such as AOL etc, probably will have a limited effect, since this probably will be implemented broadly on all major ISP's in the near future.

Beijer have no intentions to implement a secure email client on the current platform.  

So the only way to use the current email client will be to use either an internal / local / private emailserver or relay software, requiering a local computer. or a subscription on some service that accepts less secure apps.  

For the time being (April 2022), smtp.mail.yahoo.com is claimed to work. 

To allow "less secure apps in Yahoo", Log in to Yahoo mailbox and go to Account Info page. Choose Account Security, and turn on the button of "Allow apps that use less secure sign in". See This for details

iX - SMTP - Using Gmail servers using App password

​​​Google has dropped the support for "less secure apps" and no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.

From now on an "App Password" is required when sending emails from iX panels that are configured to use Gmail's SMTP servers. Please notice that 2 step verification is required in order to create an app password. 

Create and use App Password

1. Login to you Google account.
   
2. Make sure 2-Step Verification is enabled.
   
   
3. Generate an App password. Select "Mail" as app and for device select "Other" and enter a custom name. Click Generate to get an app password.
   
   
4. Then use the following settings for the email device in the iX application
   
   From Email Address: [Gmail address]
   SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
   Port: 587
   Encryption Mode: ExplicitSSL
   Authentication Mode: AuthLogin
   Username: [Gmail address]

Image Sticking

When utilizing TFT LCD HMI panels in applications where a fixed or partially fixed image remains displayed on the screen for extended periods of time, users may experience a phenomenon referred to by the LCD industry as Image Sticking. Image Sticking - sometimes also called "image retention" or "ghosting"- is a phenomenon where a faint outline of a previously displayed image remains visible on the screen when the image is changed.

Image sticking can be caused by:

• Static images
  
• No Screensaver
  
• Sharp contrast transition (e.g. black / white)
• High ambient temperatures
  

• Use the screensaver functionality.
  
• Changing constantly  between static and dynamic images
• Avoid excessive brightness differences between foreground and background elements
• Use colors with similar brightness
• Use complementary colors in follow-up images

Ix and X2 Terminals - Galvanic isolation on serial ports, COM ports , power and ethernet

TxA, TxB, Box2, X2

The serial ports are galvanically isolated towards the main power supply, 24 VDC. (except Rugged versions)
meaning that there is isolation between 24V supply and the terminals internal GND

There is no isolation between the RS232/RS422/RS485/USB ports.
Meaning that they all use the same internal GND  

The ethenet ports is galvanically isolated by a transformer in the ports itselfe, and is always isolated from all.

 On the X2 extreme there is on the HP (HighPower) versions an additional isolated RS485
See attacment regarding graphic view on X2 \ box2 galvanic isolation  

TxBR (rugged)

Rugged terminals have no isolation from 24V, meaning that GND and 0V of the 24V supply is connected.
- RS232 is isolated from all including RS422\485 in the same port
- RS422/485 is isolated from all including RS232 in the same port
- CAN module is isolated from all.

The OV \ GND in Rugged terminals, is connected to FrameGround trough a 12.4Mohm resistor network in paralell with a 10nF 
condenser giving the terminal a 12.4Mohm DC resistance from 24V terminal to Ground. 
In addition there is Varistors from bothe 24 and GND to Frame Ground, Shorting voltage differences  above 65V

Convert from Exter/E1000 To X2 Series

The Mitsubishi E-Series hardware products and E-Designer software have been manufactured by Beijer Electronics for Mitsibishi for many years. In 2015, this partnership ended. Beijer-branded E1000 HMIs are now orderable directly through Beijer or one of its authorizated distributors. As your Mitsubishi terminals need to be replaced, Beijer provides a smooth transition by offering three paths:

Direct Replacement Path (E1000 panels) - A direct hardware and software replacement for most E1000 panels. The Beijer-branded E1000 panels are identical to the Mitsubishi-branded E1000 panels, only the rear labeling is different.

Direct Replacement Path (EXTER panels) - A direct mechanical drop-in hardware replacement is available for most E1000 products. The replacement products use your existing E-Designer applications after a simple project conversion to Information Designersoftware, a service offered by Beijer Technical Support

Upgrade Replacement Path (X2 panels) - Enhance your future HMI offering with modern X2 hardware and state-of-the-art iX Developer software including graphics, scripting, alarms, recipes, remote access and multiple communication drivers. iX Developer supports and integrated E-Designer to iX Developer project conversion feature (as well as Information Designer to iX Developer).

The following is a comparison chart of the older, discontinued E-series/CIMREX HMI panels to the current E1000/EXTER HMI panels, as well as the closest versions to Beijer''s latest X2 panels.

1 The Beijer-built E-series models were branded for Mitsubishi. The CIMREX models were the Beijer-branded versions of the early E-series models. All were discontinued a number of years ago.

2 The E1000 models are upgrades from the older, discontinued E-series models. Historically, the Beijer-built E1000 models were branded for Mitsubishi, but now carry a Beijer brand. The E1000 are now only available from Beijer or an authorized distributor; they are no longer available from Mitsubishi. E1000 programming is based on E-Designer software which can now only be obtained from Beijer.

3 The Beijer-built and branded EXTER models are virtually identical to the E1000 models. EXTER programming is based on Information Designer software. Beijer Technical Support can convert an E-Designer program to an Information Designer program, if required.

4 X2 models are not 100% replacement models for the E1000 or EXTER models. They have different form-factors; there are no X2 Keypad models; all X2 models have color displays. These X2 models are the closest versions to the E1000/EXTER panels. X2 pro models have more memory and faster processors than the X2 base units. iX Developer can import an E-Designer or Information Designer project to run on X2 models, though it may not import 100% of the functionality.

5 Adapter plates enable a smaller footprint EXTER or E1000 HMI to fit in the space occupied by a slightly larger, discontinued Exxx or CIMREX model. Note: Adapter Plates allow most E1000/EXTER models to fit the cut-outs used by the discontinued E-series/CIMREX models.

6 X2 series are Beijer main iX models. See the EOL Notifications for details.

This message: 
" ​The unit should be scheduled for preemptive maintenance service "
appears on the screen after reboot.

This is a feature implemented in Firmware version 8.0 b569.
It promts that the display or flashmemory is soon to be due (liftime reached)

From Release notes one can read::
Added support of Product health and Service time internal when eMMC flash memory and Backlight reaching end of lifetime.
Presented in Diagnostic Page and in a warning Message:
“The unit should be scheduled for preemptive maintenance service”

If one press ok, the message is gone until new reboot.

X2 image - Update EBOOT require SD card to be formatted to FAT16/FAT32

Some versions of the system program to X2 require the EBOOT to be updated as well. The EBOOT is included when you create "Recovery SD" from the Image Loader. Please note that the SD card must be formatted to FAT16/FAT32 otherwise the EBOOT will not be updated even though the "Make Recovery SD Card" setting was enabled.
The file system exFAT is not supported when upgrading the EBOOT.

The EBOOT version can be verified in the diagnostics which can be opened from the service menu.

X2 pro (SC) / X2 marine (SC) / X2 extreme (SC) / BoX2 base / BoX2 pro (SC) / BoX2 extreme (SC), Battery replacement

17.oct.2018

General
X2 series operator terminals use Lithium batterys to  retain RTC data(Real Time Clock), and Persistent variables (battery backed variables), in terminals with onboard codesys PLC (control \ motion versions) (stored in SRAM)

PS Imortant:
When replacing the battery the SRAM storing the Codesys persisten variable will be wiped. To avoid loosing the settings, one need to use either the recipe feature in BCs tools \ codesys, or use the IX Recipe feature, to backup the data prior to battery replacement. The ix metode has the benefit that it can be handled without a computer. (althoug it needs to be pre-implemented in the IX project)

X2 Base: 
use a rechargable Lithium ion 200mA cell. (on print soldered)
Normaly not to be replaced. (need 48h to fully charge on startup)

X2 Extreme:
X2 extreme 7 & ( 12 V)  
BR2330A/GAN 3V 255mAh Non rechargable Button cell, Not user Replacable (soldered on print) 

All other extreme terminals use:
BR2477A/GAN 3V 1000mAh Non rechargable Button cell, Not user Replacable (soldered on print) 

​X2 Pro/Marine/control/ Motion:
BR2032 3V 200mAh Button Cell, non rechargable battery. User Replacable.
(remove backcover by unscrew the 4  torq screws ( T10) in each corner)

Lifetime:
The RTC current consumption is 3uA when power is off 
The SRAM current consumption is 1-2uA when power is off 

Lifetime depends on both temperature, and how much of the time the terminal is powered. 

A Standard X2 terminal with no SRAM (only RTC), charging 3uA when power is off should then last 200 000uAh : (3uA*24*365) = 7,6 years. (if never powered) (worst case is estimated to be = 5Years)

A Control terminal with SRAM the calculation would be: 
200 000uAh : (5uA*24*365) = 4,6 years. (if never powered) 

A standard terminal used 260 days\year 10h\day would last aprox 11 years.
200 000 : ((260days * 14hurs * 3uA) + (105days * 24hours * 3uA))

Warning:
When the Battery is due for replacement, a system warning dialogue will appear in the middle of the screen. This dialogue must be acknowledged to make it disapear. After a reboot the warning will occure again if the low battery condition remains.  


Some Details on lithium batterys
BR2032 brakes up to:
B - Positive electrode material (Carbon Monofluoride)
R - Round (shape)
20 - Diameter in mm
32 - Height in 1\10 mm = 3,2 mm

BR2032 vs CR2032:
Due to the differens in positive electrode material, BR cells self discharge slower than CR cells, (thus has longer "shelf time" (90% after 10 years)),  And has wider temp. range than CR  (-30 to +85 vs -20 to 70).
The voltage is tough the same (3V), and apart from the temp. spec. theese cells are compatible.

IX alarm info request lookup in pdf by page index

​31.08.2021
IX developer 2.40 SP6
Demo driver

Consept:
This sample project uses An alarms uniq ID to produce an index.
This index is used to show aditional info from a PDF document, regarding the selected alarm, when the user click the Info button. 

 Details:
The Main script is in the alarmserver, and fires with the "AlarmServer_AlarmEventInfoRequested" event.

The index is made from the  the alarm name column (first column in the alarm configurator that normally has no function for us ), which has default values: AlarmItem0, AlarmItem1 etc. 

The script extract the number part 0,1,2 etc to a global tag, to be used as a page index in the PDF viewer object.  Finally the Popup screen is opened.

In the popup screen The Pdf is opened, using the Alarm Taxt as Title,  and the page corresponding to the index is shown.

PS.
If several alarm groups are in use, Each group will default start with the name AlarmItem0. This will make duplicates. So in this case you must manually verify that the number part in the names are uniq, and consistent.

Nothing similar is however supported in CE8 (most X2 panels).

During the years, we have helped customers creating solutions based on SQL Server connectivity.
There is a need to be able to move such an application to X2 aswell with minimal change of script code.

One solution is "SqlProxy" that is presented in the attached pdf file.

Install in e.g. C:\Users\Public\SqlProxy to avoid access right issues!

October 16, 2019: The file SqlProxy_191016C.zip contains CURRENT VERSION !
SqlProxy 1.1.0.1. Make sure to use corresponding SqlProxy.exe , tcpServer.dll and scmSqlProxy.Script.cs from the same package!
Supports unicode (e.g. Chinese characters and queries like select * from Customers where Name = N'公司黄页' ). Performance improved.

For best performance, limit the amount of data (number of rows and number of columns) to the minimum necessary with your SQL query. Example: "select top (1) createdTime, columnName3, columnName149 from tableName where columnName1 = 'something' order by createdTime desc"
to get just the few interesting columns from the very latest record where columnName1 = 'something'

Furthermore, for best performance, use StringBuilder when receiving reply from SqlProxy instead of += in the iX demo project. scmSqlProxy.Script_StringBuilder.zip in demo project contains this alternate scmProxy.Script.cs file if needed.
