2.9.1.1 Project Transfer

[Project Transfer] allows users to directly download a project to the Xpanel from CIMON Canvas via mini USB or Ethernet. Both methods are described below.

Downloading/Uploading over USB

Waiting on the development team for this section.

Downloading/Uploading over Ethernet

Checking the IP address of the PC

Go to [Windows] – [Run] (or press Win + R on the keyboard) and enter ‘cmd’ on the input screen.
Enter ‘ipconfig’ on the command screen to check the PC’s Ethernet setup. Make sure that both the Xpanel and PC are connected to the same local network, and that both are using the same subnet mask and default gateway.

Checking the IP address of Xpanel

If the Settings dialog box is not already open, then touch the corners of the Xpanel screen in the sequence shown below: bottom-left -> bottom-right -> top-right. The Settings window will appear.
Select [Exit]. This will stop the Xpanel runtime and take you to the [CONTROL CENTER] window.
Navigate to the IP settings by clicking [Settings] > [IP Config]. Set the user’s IP address(es) for the Xpanel device in either LAN 1 and/or LAN 2. After the user’s IP information is set, scroll to the bottom and click [Apply and Save]. If the subnet mask and/or gateway are different from those of the PC, then change them to match the PC.

The Subnet Mask and Gateway fields should be configured to match those of the PC. These can be found using the ‘ipconfig’ command.
Duplicate IP addresses are not allowed. Make sure the IP address you choose is not being used by another device on the network.
The Xpanel IP address must be on the same local network as the PC. If the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, this means the first 3 values of the IP address must match those of the default gateway. If the subnet mask is set to 255.255.0.0, then the first 2 values must match, and so on.

Settings for CIMON Canvas

Run CIMON Canvas and open a project to be downloaded, or proceed to the next step if you are uploading to the PC.
Go to [Tools] > [Deployment Panel] and choose which Xpanel you will be using by checking the box on the left-hand side. If the [Status] of the Xpanel is OFFLINE, the user will not be able to download/upload a project.
The user will receive a warning message confirming they will install the currently loaded project on CIMON Canvas to the selected Xpanel. If the user is certain, click [Ok].

The project will not operate correctly if the version of CIMON Canvas that was used to create the project is different from the version of Xpanel OS that is running the project. Upgrade or downgrade the software until both versions are identical.
Once a project has been converted from a lower version to a higher version, it cannot be converted back to a lower version. Always make separate backups for each version of a project that you use.
