Configuration

Place the Large Faceplate wizard into an open window, then double-click on it to display the Large Faceplate Dialog box. Configure the wizard by entering the appropriate information into each of the boxes.

The figure shown below is the dialog for a typical wizard. Some wizards have additional features which may be configured. See the section titled Features of GE Large Faceplate Wizards for more details.

Enter the unique eight-character name matching the appropriate Topic in the PMCS DDE Server.

Enter the application name of the PMCS DDE Server (GE32MODB or GE32MTCP) for most PMCS devices; ION_LINK for EPM 7700 devices).

Enter the minimum security level for enabling remote command functions.

Enter the name of the window to open when the device display is clicked on during runtime.

You can move and resize Large Faceplate wizards as desired.

Special Considerations

The button controls on the 3-D representation emulate the controls of the actual device. This may be useful for reducing software training time for personnel already familiar with device operation. The detailed features of each of the Large Faceplate wizards are described in the section titled Features of GE Large Faceplate Wizards .

EPM 7700

The EPM 7700 Large Faceplate Dialog box contains an extra field, which must be completed during configuration. The Node Name field requires that you enter the name of the computer running the Communications Server that connects to this particular device. Depending on the configuration of the EPM7700 network, this can be either the Primary node computer, or a computer setup as a "Full Station" Secondary node. Refer to DEH-40035, the GE 7700 Gateway Users Guide, and GEH-6514, PMCS Read This Book First, for more information on network configuration. The Node Name field is required because the EPM7700 does not use the same DDE server as the rest of the standard PMCS devices, and the wizard must be directed to the location of the correct Communications Server for proper configuration of DDE topic names.
