Quick Start - “Out of the Box”
Overview The Quick Start application is used for Remote-mounted HMI or Locally-
mounted HMI configurations. When no HMI is supplied, the Quick Start
application is not available (refer to
Chapter 2 on page 15 to configure a personal
computer or Windows terminal).
The PowerFlex 7000 HMI Interface Board (HMI Interface Board) and the
Rockwell Automation PanelView Plus CE terminal communicate to each other
over Ethernet. Both devices must be configured with unique IP addresses on the
same network.
The Quick Start application establishes the initial connection between the
PanelView Plus CE terminal and the PowerFlex 7000 drive.
Requirements
• PanelView Plus CE terminal
• Windows CE (6.0 or greater)
• .NET Compact Framework (2.0 or greater)
• Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater
• Screen Resolution of at least 640x480
• Ethernet connection
Chapter Objectives This chapter describes how the Quick Start application (supplied with
PanelView Plus CE only) configures a unique IP address in the HMI Interface
Board and the terminal.
The application is also used to access the Forge Shell program from a ‘discovered’
HMI Interface Board and to set the Internet Explorer homepage to the selected
HMI Interface Board.
Introduction When the drive is first powered up, the PanelView Plus CE terminal and
PowerFlex HMI Interface Board are configured for ‘Dynamic IP addressing’,
meaning they attempt to obtain an IP Address from a DHCP Server.
If the drive is not connected to an external network that contains a DHCP server,
the devices cannot obtain an IP Address via this method. In the absence of a
DHCP Server, the HMI Interface Board defaults to an address of 169.254.0.10.
