INTRODUCTION Congratulations! This manual will teach you everything about XWEB server, the most powerful and configurable tool for Controlling and Monitoring. This manual is a comprehensive guide to your XWEB. You will find all the information you need to work with the unit. The XWEB is based on the latest technology of the Internet world to display the WEB pages contained into the unit itself. The Linux operative system guarantees maximum efficiency and stability support for this kind of product.
PACKAGING Unpack the unit carefully and make sure that all accessories are put aside so they will not be lost. Examine the unit for any possibility of shipping damage. If your unit is damaged or fails to operate, notify your dealer immediately. If your unit was shipped to you directly, notify the shipping company without delay. Only the consignee (the person or company receiving the unit) can file a claim against the carrier for shipping damage.
MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PC-CLIENT When connecting through local or remote connection, the client PC computer, must have installed these components: Java Virtual Machine v1.6 or higher Microsoft Internet Explorer 8. Usage of newer browsers, as Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, is recommended implementing better some internet standards. If necessary, inside the CDROM you will find the Java Virtual Machine program distributed by Sun Microsystems. Dixell S.r.l.
1 GENERAL INFORM ATION XWEB is a Controlling and Monitoring system based on “WEB server” technology. In this document we can refer to XWEB as ‘server’. It is capable to communicate data to one external Client with the same kind of procedure used by the Internet Web Sites. Client need only a standard Browser such as Microsoft Explorer. The Web Pages with all the information are contained into the server itself; Linux operative system ensures maximum efficiency and security.
2 INSTALL ATION 2.1 HARDWARE ATTENTION: to protect both yourself and the server from electrical hazards the XWEB should remain turned off until you are finished connecting all electrical devices to the unit. To avoid accidental start of the unit, remember to plug in electrical cable only when you have finished setting up all other connection.
(ONLY FOR COOLMATE MODELS) 1 2 : Alarm 1 output relay : Power supply connector 3 : Alarm 2 output relay 4 5 : System Alarm 6 :5-6 No Alarm 7 8 9 : USB socket for PC connection : USB socket for devices connection :5-7 At least one alarm : External modem socket : modem reset relay : Internal modem line connector 10 11 : digital input : RJ45 Ethernet connector 12 (+) 13 (-) 14 () : RS 485 socket WARNING: the relay 'reset modem' is excited to reset, under conditions of disuse every two minutes
2.1.2 SERIAL ADDRESS The cable must have 2 or 3 wires with shield, minimum section 0,5mm2 (e.g. the BELDEN 8772). From the XWEB position the cable reaches all the instrument positions. Do not execute loops or derivations: Right connection Wrong connection Do not connect shield to ground. Do not connect the “Gnd” terminal. Remember to draw a map of the line. This will help you to find an error if something is wrong.
The instrument with RS485 on board do not need any kind of external interface module. For instruments with external interface: keep the TTL cable away from power cables or frequency sources. The XJ485 external interface must be connected with TTL cable to the instrument with TTL compatibility. 2.1.4 SERIAL ADDRESS OF THE INSTRUMENTS Each instrument must be defined by its unique address. Check the address into the Adr parameter value.
2.1.7 REMOTE CONNECTION FROM A CLIENT PC 2.1.7.1 MODEM CONNECTION (“OR POINT TO POINT CONNECTION”) It represents the most common method where the LAN (intranet / Ethernet / internet) is not available. It is strongly advised to use a dedicated telephone line. IMPORTANT: Use exclusively modem devices approved by Dixell. Remember that many modems are not compatible with Linux. The list of compatible models can be found under the menu: Configuration – System - Modem.
2.1.7.3 INTERNET CONNECTION It is necessary a STATIC IP address for the XWEB which is normally assigned by the Provider of your internet services. The Internet connection allows XWEB to be reached from all PC-clients. Insert the net address assigned by the administrator into the Browser address bar. Bookmark the address with personalised name for the future connections. Ask your provider for more details about the rent of a static IP.

XWEB 500 unit let you setup: -> Language Identification Delete archive Network Modem Dial up e-mail SMS FAX Printer Delete archive completely empties the recorded temperatures and alarms. It empties the corresponding database Network is for the setup of the network. The system must be rebooted to apply a new setup. Modem is for the modem setup. Dial up is to setup the dial-up connection e-mail is for the e-mail setup. The option “Testing e-mail” let you send a test e-mail.
2.2.1.1.3 ALARM MENU Alarm management by means of the LCD can setup only 1 user. To add new user please use the WEB user-interface -> Delay Accumulation Send FAX: Si/No Send e-mail. Sì/No Send SMS: Sì/No Receiver(s) Relay Delay is to filter the alarms. If an alarm lasts less than the delay, XWEB 500 only records it in the alarm log. If it lasts more than the delay, XWEB 500 will send it according to the accumulation time.
2.2.1.1.4.2 Manual printing MENU -> Alarm Data XWEB500 Setup Device(s) Setup Alarm is to choose between the current alarm list and the recorded alarm list Data is to choose the recorded temperature in the archive XWEB500 setup prints the setup of the XWEB500 (network, receivers, users, etc…) Device(s) Setup prints the setup of the controllers 2.2.1.1.5 PASSWORD The management of the user by means of the local LCD is different from the one by means of the WEB user interface.
2.2.1.2 VIEW MENU By pressing VIEW the following options are available: -> Data Alarm Tools Data is to browse the current/recorded temperatures Alarm is to browse the current/recorded alarms Tools let you start the RS485 line test 2.2.1.2.1 MODIFY SETPOINT By using Data menu, then actual, it is possible to modify the setpoint of a controller. This is the view layout: -> Name of the controller >---A-INPUT---------< Air Temperature: 4.
2.2.1.2.2 -> DATA FROM ARCHIVE View From: 10:30 10/01/2007 Interval: 01:00 The archive can be browsed between the “From” date and the today day. (in the above example the archive will show data from 10:30 a.m. January 10th 2007 until today). Interval is the distance between to samples of data (i.e. time difference between to 2 recorded temperatures). Move the marker “->” above “view” and press ENTER. To move to the next recorded temperatures, press VIEW. 2.2.1.
2.3 CONFIGURATION AND ACCESS Before turning on the XWEB read these notes. The local access via network cable is the fastest way to manage the first setup of the unit. Be sure the Pcclient is provided with Java Virtual Machine. Launch the Browser and insert the default address 192.168.0.150. 2.3.1 MICROSOFT WINDOWS: POP-UP BLOCKER AND COOKIES XWEB uses some pop-up windows to show the user the real status of each operation, unfortunately these pop-ups are blocked by Windows pop-up blocker.
2. From the TAB “Privacy”, apply the “Default” settings and press the button “Settings…” on the bottom right corner. 1592028000 XWEB300D_500_500D opr GB r2.2.0 2013.08.01.
3. Add the default address of XWEB, i.e: 192.168.0.150. Please remember to add each IP address you will use to this list. 2.3.2 MICROSOFT WINDOWS: CACHE FILES Often referred to as the cache, the Temporary Internet Files folder contains a kind of travel record of the items you have seen, or downloaded from the Web, including images, sounds, Web pages, even cookies. Typically these items are stored in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
2.3.3 THIRD PART SOFTWARE AND XWEB As general rule please remember that software such as antivirus programs, firewall programs, toolbars (Yahoo and Google bar) may prevent you from connecting properly to XWEB. We strongly suggest to check these softwares setup and add the IP address of XWEB to the trusted site list of your software. As far as firewall is concerned, add port 80 and port 22 to the allowed ports forwarding, of course all the TCP/IP requests coming from the IP address of XWEB must be allowed.
2.3.4 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION As soon as the power supply cable is plugged in, the system starts loading. The on-board display shows you the bootstrap procedure with a slide-bar After the first loading of the operative system, the user is required to setup the XWEB. The first window asks you to log-in to the system. Use Admin as “User name” and “Password”. 1592028000 XWEB300D_500_500D opr GB r2.2.0 2013.08.01.
2.3.5 XWEB SETUP Click on “Configuration” -> “System” roll-down menu. This window will appear: 1592028000 XWEB300D_500_500D opr GB r2.2.0 2013.08.01.
2.3.6 SYSTEM SETUP Click on “System setup” to adjust System name, description, language, date/time and time-zone format. They are important because the system will use its time stamp to record and send alarm. Only for XWEB300: you can manage the alarm relay as AUX. In the section "XJR40D configuration" configure the extension of the alarm relays with XJR40D: the device must already be present in the configuration of Modbus devices (go to "Devices" or "Find Device").
2.3.7 NETWORK SETUP By clicking “Network Setup” is possible to customize all network settings. The default IP is 192.168.0.150, if you change it, please refer to this new number each time you encounter the default IP inside this manual. The next window allows you to setup the network. You can choose “No network”, it means you will not be able to reach your XWEB using intranet/lan access. This is an uncommon situation.
2.3.8 MODEM SETUP Next window allows you to setup the modem connection. XWEB uses the modem to send faxes and in same cases also e-mails. In the first case the unit itself can send a fax, while in the second case you may need to setup a dial-up connection (next step). When XWEB modem is in use, it is important to choose the country according to the real country where XWEB is installed. From the drop down menu “country”, choose yours (either internal or external one, but also both of them).
2.3.10 E-MAIL SETUP XWEB can handles e-mail, but to send them you need to make a proper setup of the unit. XWEB can send e-mail either via network or via dial-up, please choose the proper option according to your needs. To send e-mails a SMTP server must exist and XWEB have to reach this server through the LAN or via dial-up. In this case gateway and DNS parameters are mandatory in “Network Configuration” window. If dial-up is used therefore there is no direct LAN access to internet.
2.3.11 SMS SETUP XWEB can send SMSs using several kinds of services to notify user about detected alarms on Devices Network. To use Netech service (SMS via internet) please read http://www.netech.it/ir_smsalert before proceeding. After the online registration module has been submitted you will receive via email the activation code. Use it to configure your XWEB. This service provides statistics and to clearly recognize it we recommend to configure your XWEB with a name that makes it unique.
2.3.14 SYSTEM MESSAGES XWEB is able to send a complete report of the past activity. The report can be sent both automatically and manually according to an event calendar defined by the user (see Scheduler §). Moreover if the system is working out of the standard operative range (i.e. cpu temperature), automatically a report will be sent out.
3 USING XWEB 3.1 SYSTEM LOG-IN Once the connection is activated, insert the IP number into the address bar of your browser. The first window shows the Login with User Name and Password fields. If the name and the password are correct the Home Page is loaded otherwise you must repeat the operation: check your password (numbers, capital letters etc.).
3.2.1 SYSTEM ACCESS The user defined as “Administrator” is the only one allowed to modify everything inside the Server. The other users operate with their permission rights (see “§3.9 permissions”). 3.2.2 IDENTIFICATION / TIME Name Description These items represent the name of server and its description. 3.2.3 SERVER PROPERTY Data Reading Data Recording Alarm Sending Server Status Time Reading activity on RS 485 controllers. Recording activity on RS 485 controllers.

3.3.3.2 SYSTEM EVENTS There is a class that cannot be removed: XWEB System Events. The user can add to this class only system events to receive scheduled report from the unit. To add a new event go to “Add event” then “Add system event”. The following window will appear: Fill in “Activation Time” and choose a mark colour. Press confirm. 3.3.3.3 USING THE SCHEDULER Once you have created a schedule it is possible to check or modify an existing event in a very simple way.
3.3.4 ALARMS 3.3.4.1 ALARM TYPOLOGY AND ALARM LEVELS The alarm typology is a list of alarm events designed by the user to describe the possible alarms that the instruments can generate. In this way similar alarm events can be grouped together under a unique identification label, so high and low temperature alarms can be defined as “Temperature alarms” or the high and low pressure alarms belong to “Pressure alarm” identification. The Alarm Level list is also designed and named by the user.
3.3.4.2 DESTINATION OF THE ALARM MESSAGES The list of the destinations contains the users (directors, maintenance personnel, assistance etc.) enabled to receive the alarm notification. The XWEB is capable of transferring the alarm message through Fax, SMS or e-mail. To insert a new item Click into the field “Name” and insert the appropriate word or words. Click on “Insert” to add the new value. To change the setting Click into Selection and find the desired item from the list.
Click on “Cancel All”; Confirm the operation if necessary. Wait for the screen refresh. To reset the form Click on “new”. For each receiver the calendar function is also suitable to enable the alarm sending procedure only during certain period of time. See Calendar chapter. 3.3.4.3 ALARM LEVELS The alarm levels are organised as a list of items. Each named level provides to execute the right procedure to transfer the alarm notification to the receiver or receivers. They act just like a filter. E.

3.3.4.5 QUEUED MESSAGES The fax message can be sent to a back-up number (“Second fax number”). If the first number is engaged or the line is unavailable, the system tries to send the message to the second fax number. 3.3.5 CALENDAR FUNCTION The Calendar function is used to define if a function or a single event is active or not in the selected period of time.
(Eg: define Saturday and Sunday as Disabled, Wednesday as Partly Enabled). Select the appropriate month: Point the mouse arrow on the rose tile “Saturday”. Click with the left button and then set the value as “Weekly not Enabled”. The tiles become Grey. Repeat the operation for “Sunday”. The tiles become grey. Click with the left button of the mouse on the rose tile “Wednesday” and select “Set As Weekly Partly Enabled”. The tiles become yellow.
All the working days (Enabled) will follow the new times. Repeat the same operation to define the new period for the Partly Enabled days but clicking on “ Set for All Partly Enabled ” DAY ATTRIBUTE To verify the day attribute point the mouse arrow into the appropriate day and click the right button.
Select a limited period of days To define a common attribute only to some days. This allows to set a holiday period for one or more desired months of the year. Point the mouse on the first day desired, click the left button. Keeping the left button pushed move the pointer slightly through the next days to be included. Release the mouse button and select the proper attribute, all the selected tiles will change into the new corresponding colour.
3.3.6 DEVICE CONFIGURATION The configuration of the devices allows to assign the appropriate monitoring system attributes. The configuration is subordinated to the manual or automatic search procedure to create a list of the available instruments. For each kind of device XWEB will show only the specific information of the controller itself and the attributes of the available digital and analogue inputs of the instrument.
Instead of “xxx_New_Model” the user can insert the new appropriate name for this instrument. 3.3.6.2 ASSIGN THE NAME OF THE CONTROLLER After selecting the device, click into the “Name” field. Insert the new name such as “Frozen food_001”. Assign the proper sampling “Interval”, decide if you want to read and record data from this instrument by checking/unchecking “Data Reading” and “Recording” boxes.
3.3.6.5 DEFINE THE DIGITAL, ANALOGUE INPUTS AND THE STATUS The middle area is dedicated to the analogue inputs (probe), setpoint, digital inputs, devices status, and commands assignments. NAME: The first time each name is displayed by following the internal XWEB archive of standard feature of the instruments. Each definition can be renamed when necessary to give the proper meaning. Beware of the difference between integer and decimal value.
controllers. In the first step you are required to make a complete setup regarding both standard and advanced section. When you are ready, please go to “Configuration” -> “Devices” roll-down menu. This window will appear: In the upper part you can see information concerning the name of the instrument that the system will use as base model (“Source device”). In our example we have a XJP60D whose name is “Acq. module 1”.
3.5 DEVICES MENU In this menu you can find all the web pages that allow the final user to interact with the controllers connected to the RS485. 3.5.1 SINGLE VIEW Select SINGLE VIEW to show all the data corresponding to a selected instrument. You will be informed about probe values, digital inputs, device status, alarms for all the time you are connected. How to select a device and show the data The devices can be selected using the Device filter in order to reduce the number of items of the search.
Remember that you are looking at a still page therefore the instrument information is loaded and displayed then there is no more data coming from the server. The screen refresh with the new data can be executed automatically by selecting the “Auto” box and decide the updating interval by clicking into the time box on the right side. Click on “Update” button to update the window with manual procedure.
Commands The last stripe of information contains the available commands for that instrument. Use them to operate on the instrument. Take care of the operations you make with commands. Click on the interested function button, after sending the command the information of the new status will be automatically updated and displayed. Beware that “Stand By” commands turn off the instruments. 3.5.2 RUN TIME The run time function provides to display into a unique window many devices together.
Each device is represented by an horizontal row that includes as many rows as many information are available from the instrument. For each row, the blue bar contains the address and the instrument name followed by the typology to which the instrument belongs to. At the end of the blue bar there is the command box “Sel”.
Send the commands to devices From the run time page you are allowed to interact with the instruments by sending commands to them. The user is requested to select the instrument or the instruments to which the command has to be sent. To do that click into the “Sel.” box to select the instrument. On the right top side of the browser border will appear a Toolbar which contains the Commands button and the possibility of selecting or deselecting all the instruments together.
also the ending report result. If an error occurs the corresponding diagnostic message is displayed. 1592028000 XWEB300D_500_500D opr GB r2.2.0 2013.08.01.
3.5.3 PARAMETERS The Parameter function allows management of the parameters of a selected device. The parameters can be displayed and modified. From the Home Page, select the “Parameters” item from the “Devices” menu.
Actual: New: Min /Max: UM: Pr: Save: Actual value of the parameter loaded from the instrument; New value of the parameter decided by the user; Minimum and maximum limits available for that parameter; Unit of measurement; Parameter level of the parameter itself; Selection box to enable the parameter saving. To change a parameter value To insert the desired value of a parameter click into New box.
3.5.4 LAYOUT FUNCTION (ONLY FOR XWEB500DIN) With this function it is possible to build up a Layout view of the system been monitoring. The user can creates as many layers as he needs and place important information and data value coming directly from the instruments. XWEB uses 2 different menus to deal with Layout: one is “Layout Edit”, the other is “Layout Viewer”. Both of them use web-technology, so Java Virtual Machine is needed.
Layers Submenu: ADD LAYER It is used to add a new layer to the layout. Selecting it this windows will appear: User has to compile “Name” with any text value, then he can choose the background colour and also a background image pushing “Image…” button. In this case a new window will appear: Choose an image and press “Ok”. When you use images the system has to send them to your client. Depending on the speed of the connection the download procedure may take up to some minutes.
do not confuse this resolution value (e.g. megapixel 3, 4 or more) with the one of your monitor (800x600, 1024x768 pixels). When you take a digital picture, your camera saves it according to its setup. Once you download these photos to your PC you need to resize them to the value you want to use in the layout.
Choose an image and press “Ok”. When you use images the system has to send them to your client. Depending on the speed of the connection the download procedure may take up to some minutes. REMOVE IMAGE It allows you to cancel the background image, if present. SET AS MAIN This function is very important. With this feature you can decide which is the homepage of the layout. Each time an user will load the layout viewer this is the page that firstly appears.
With the first drop down menu you can filter the instruments, with the second one you select the instrument you want to show in the layer. A new windows will appear: You can check/uncheck the name. It is also possible to change: BG= background colour TX= text colour SZ= font size Name of the instrument. Analog values. You can check/uncheck the values or modify them. It is also possible to change: BG= background colour TX= text colour SZ= font size Digital Inputs.
In the output section if you choose “Motion” a new window will appear: User has to choose the rectangle property: Label BG FG PX Meaning Rectangle background colour Rectangle foreground colour Line thickness in pixels With the first left button mouse click you place the control in the layer, then point to the top left corner of the rectangular area, hold down left mouse and drag the pointer to the bottom right corner.
TEXT AREA It allows you to insert a text area inside the layer. We suggest to use this function each time you need to write something inside the layer. To not try to write text inside background image with your editing software instead use text area. Insert your text here By using the four drop down menu, choose: font type, style, size and colour. RECTANGLE This function is useful when you want to highlight some area inside the layer. User can choose the rectangle colour and the shadow effect.
Choose the name of the printout defined in the “Scheduler” (e.g. STAMPE). Define a name of the printout (e.g. “stampa HACCP”). Setup the button (test, colour, size) and the security code. Press “Place”. Please notice that on the “Scheduler” it is possible to create e-mail, fax and printouts. If the HACCP printouts events are not set, it is not possible to have the Layout printouts button.
Layout Submenu: START It allows you to test your layout. Once you push this button the editor transform itself in the viewer. You can have an overview of the layer with real data coming from the instruments you have selected. STOP This function interrupts the start function described above. Window Submenu: WINDOW NAME Let you choose among the available layers. 3.5.4.2 LAYOUT VIEW With this function the user can use the layout previously prepared via “Layout Editor”.
You can check/uncheck manually the instruments or you can use the Select/Deselect All. Then push “Continue” By pushing “Continue” the system makes a check to show you only the compatible commands to the instruments you have selected. Choose the command/s you want to send by checking it, then give it the proper meaning by using the blank field.
Once a button is password protected, each time someone push it, this window will appear: If you insert a wrong code, the field reset itself. You can continue inserting a code until you press “Exit”. GRID It helps you to align all the objects you want to place in the layer. By choosing this option you can also select the grid colour. 3.5.5.1.1 DIGITAL INPUT SENDING COMMANDS It is possible to send a set of command to a specific range of controller. The user must setup the “polarity” of the contact.
The status of the contact can be enabled or disabled. Use the device filter to add the controllers to the digital input command sending feature. Choose which command you want to send. 1592028000 XWEB300D_500_500D opr GB r2.2.0 2013.08.01.
3.5.6 PERFORMANCE METER (ONLY FOR XWEB500DIN) The value added by this new software tool is remarkable: possibility to check the correctness of the compressor rack size; possibility to check the proper functioning of each device; statistics data collection. Firstly go to “Data” then “Performance meter”. Secondly go to “Class” menu and then choose “Create class”. Fill in as the following: Class Name: the name of the class, usually corresponds to the name of the typology you have already created.
1592028000 XWEB300D_500_500D opr GB r2.2.0 2013.08.01.
Once you fill in the above module, you can proceed selecting the controllers, then press “Create”. To show a class please select “Performance” then “View Class”: Class: let you choose between the class you have created before Circular Data Interval: the sampled data comes from the circular archive. In XWEB300D/500D/500 the database is for data for about 8 hours. Main data interval: the sampled data comes from the main archive.
The information provided is: in the past two days (between 24/06 and 26/06, look at “period”), the system calculated the average set-point “SP1” and the average temperature “Avg”. Moreover it displays the minimum, the maximum value and the maximum value of temperature after a defrost (Tdef). Finally it shows the percentage of cool “%Cool”.
3.5.6.1 INTERPRETING THE %COOL From an ideal point of view the highest the percentage is, the better the compressor rack has been tuned. Of course if many devices work with a percentage next to 100% it means that quite probably during the worst condition case some devices may fail to receive the correct amount of cooling. Use the data provided by “Performance meter” according to your experience.
To use the C.R.O. you must add a class of . XWEB500 will extract from this controllers data to calculate the special algorithm. Go to “Class” menu and create a new class definition..
