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]
   Password: [The App Password]

OPC ua settings in Phoenix plxnext engineer

​04 october 2022
To use IX OPC client with Phoenix PLC's some settings are needed in the PLxnext engineering tool:
Basic settings "Visibility of variables" = "Marked"
(see attacment for screenshots)

Subject1 = HMI ip adress
UNcheck "Use the thruststore for client authentication" AND " Check application URI against client certificate. 

To get the NS ( namespace ) settings in IX developer correctly, the easiest way is to browse the Phoenix server from IX developer, by clicking the small down arrow at the right side of the "ADD" button in Tags, and select "Add tags from OPC server" . Then the nemespaces are set automaticly. Otherwise you can see them in the screenshot below:

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

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.

“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)

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.

AdAuth - iX user authentication with LDAP in domain / Active Directory

iX user authentication with LDAP in domain / Active Directory (AD)
 
To use LDAP in any iX panel (X2/TxA/TxB etc), the following solution can be used. The AdAuth application is a lightweight PC application created in Visual Studio, acting as TCP server and LDAP client.
For details contact support @beijer.se.

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

--- Background: ---
Sometimes a customer would like user authentication using Active Directory (the domain controller).
This is an iX demo project for PC using LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) to authenticate the user.
The script checks what groups the user belongs to in the domain and gives control to iX Security groups depending on this.
iX will actually show the domain user in the SystemTagCurrentUser and in e.g. Audit Trail.

This example does however not contain the functionality for changing the password from within the iX application.

This solution does only work for PC projects (incl TxC etc).

--- Test run the demo project: ---
The attached demo project is ready to run.
If your password characters are shown, add the font password.ttf (found in the Project Files subfolder) to your system!

--- Use this in your own application: ---
To use this in your own iX project, you have to do the following:
Add a reference to the assembly System.DirectoryServices.dll
Import the script module scmLdapAuthentication included in the demo project.
Add a single user (in demo project 'User' with password = 'Password'
Add the specific Security groups that you need to use in your project. These may be the same as the domain groups or may be mapped in the script later (see 'ADJUST HERE' in LoginScreen script).
In the demo project, the groups 'Administrators' and 'Operators' are used.
In Security|General:
    Select action on access denied: either 'None' or 'Show Access Denied Message'
    Automatic logout: Specify a time.
Import the LoginScreen from the demo project. Adjust the script according to your needs.
Enable Audit Trail (if required).

SqlProxy - Connects iX Panels transparently to SQL Server ( proxy )

​There's sometimes a need to connect to SQL Server from an iX Panel.
In CE6 based panel, this has been possible using sqlclient.

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.
​
Download:
https://www.beijerelectronics.com/en/support/Help___online?code=4D4C0877-4291-43C8-BA7B-54A456B0B5FE
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.
Contact support @beijer.se for additional info!

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.

iX and Allen-Bradley Ethernet CLX

Allen-Bradley ControlLogix and CompactLogix

The E and E1000 series has a driver named Allen-Bradley Ethernet CLX.
This driver is not available in iX Developer. However, that is just the name.
The E1000 variant is actually a limited Ethernet/IP driver, so when converting an E1000 project to iX platform, one can use the Allen-Bradley Ethernet/IP driver instead. This driver also suports newer systems such as the Micro 800, 820 and 850 controllers.
