Welcome to E3!

E3 is a complete system for process supervisory and control, developed for our customer's
connectivity, flexibility, and reliability requirements. E3 is the result of years of Elipse's
research and hard work.

Its architecture is fully focused on network operation and distributed applications, creating a
true Client-Server system that offers a wide range of features allowing fast application
development, high communication capability, and also ensures system expansion, which
preserves your investments.

With E3, you can perform communication with hundreds of data acquisition devices, using
proprietary drivers and OPC (OLE for Process Control). Powerful graphical user interfaces can be
viewed on a single computer, on a local network, or via Internet. Other features, like alarm
acknowledgement, access to most common databases on the market, information exchange
among several software programs and components, and specific report and formula modules,
make E3 much more powerful and versatile than any other software program available.

We appreciate your preference for our products, and we wish you success with your new work

Installation

E3 allows two types of installation: Full or Viewer Only (for client stations). For more
information about limitations of the Demo mode, see the topic Limitations of Demonstration
Mode in E3 User's Manual.

4.1 Full
1. Plug the protection device (hardkey) in your computer's USB port. E3 validates licenses
based on this device.

2. Insert the Installation CD in your drive and follow the on-screen instructions.

3. An Installation Complete message will appear when installation is finished. A program group
named Elipse E3 will be created at Windows Start menu.

In case the installer does not open automatically, open the file e3full-x86-enu.exe to install
only E3. This file can be found at root directory of the Installation CD.

NOTES:
· In case of a time-limited protection device installation, E3 Server will show, on Windows
Notification Area, messages warning how much time remains (in days, hours, and finally
minutes) until program license expires
· To install E3 using a softkey-type protection device, please contact Elipse Software

4.2 Viewer
1. Insert the Installation CD in your drive and execute the installation file for Microsoft
Windows XP SP3, XP x64 SP2, Server 2003 SP2, Vista SP2, Server 2008 SP2, Server 2008 R2
SP1, or Windows 7 SP1.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions, and wait for the end of the installation.

3. An Installation Complete message will appear when installation is successful. A program


group named Elipse E3 will be created at Windows Start Menu.

A protection device is not needed for Viewer installation.

8 Installation
4.3 WebViewer
WebViewer is a web client that allows viewing and controlling E3 applications in browsers
supporting the ActiveX technology, such as Internet Explorer. Thus, it is possible to view and
interact with a factory floor process via regular web browsers. To do so, it is necessary to
enable this license type in the protection device. Otherwise, you will not be able to use a
WebViewer.

After installation, a WebViewer works exactly as a Viewer, downloading the application.

To use a WebViewer, it is necessary to specify Server configurations, according to the


procedures explained on next sections.

4.4 Server Configuration


In server's computer, you must install a web server in order to correctly run WebViewer's
control page scripts. Any web server can be used, as long as it runs ASP (Active Server Pages)
pages. The following procedures explain how to install IIS (Internet Information Services), which
is a web server that comes with Windows operating system. To install IIS on Windows Server
2003 SP2 or XP SP3, follow these steps:

1. Open menu Start - Control Panel.

2. Click Add or Remove Programs.

3. Click Add/Remove Windows Components.

4. Select Internet Information Services (IIS), and then click Next.

5. Software installation then starts (to install IIS, you must have a Windows Install CD). Wait
for the end of the process to perform the necessary settings.

To install IIS on Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7 SP1, follow these steps, using an
administrator account:

1. Open menu Start - Control Panel.

2. Click Programs and Features.

3. Click Turn Windows features On or Off.

4. Click Continue.

5. Locate the item Internet Information Services (IIS), and then expand it to show all its items.

10 Installation
· Security

· Basic Authentication

· Request Filtering

7. Software installation then starts (you must have a Windows Install CD). Wait for the end of
the process to perform the necessary settings.

4.4.1 IIS Configuration with E3 Server on the Same Machine


Along with E3 installation, you will find files e3web.asp, e3web2.asp, docwrite.asp, docwrite2.
asp, and e3downloader.cab (located in the directory where E3 was installed, in Web folder).
These files must be placed in the directory C:\InetPub\wwwroot, which is created during IIS
installation. Apart from these files, you must also place WebViewer's installer package
(e3webviewer-x86-enu.exe) in the same directory. This installer is used when a client station
accesses a server for the first time, in case E3 had not been previously installed on it. This file
comes with E3's installation CD, or it can be obtained in Elipse's website.

NOTE: The file e3webviewer-x86-enu.exe must match the running E3 Server's version (and
build). You must update all files in IIS directory if you update E3 Server's version.

After copying these files to folder C:\InetPub\wwwroot, then you can start configuring IIS.

4.4.1.1 Windows Server 2003 and XP


On Windows Server 2003 SP2 and XP SP3, follow these procedures:

1. Go to menu Start - Control Panel - Administrative Tools.

2. Click Internet Information Services on Windows XP SP3, or click Internet Services Manager on
Windows Server 2003 SP2.

3. Right-click the item Default Web Site, and then choose the item Properties.

4.4.2 IIS Configuration with E3 Server on a Different Server


For this type of setup, you must use Windows Server 2003 SP2, because only this operating
system has the Routing and Remote Access tool. Follow these steps to configure it:

1. Go to menu Start - Control Panel - Administrative Tools, and then choose Routing and Remote
Access.

2. In the list of IIS servers, expand the sub-items of the chosen server, and then select option
Network Address Translation.

Installation 15
NAT setup

3. Right-click it, and then choose New Interface.

16 Installation
5. Choose option Public interface connected to the Internet, and then check Translate TCP/UDP
headers.

Set interface as public

6. Go to Special Ports tab, and then click Add. Fill in the Incoming port and Outgoing port fields
with port number 6515, which is the default port used by E3 to communicate. In field Private
address, type the server's IP number.

Defining which network computer becomes public

7. Now you must change the file docwrite2.asp. Open this file (which is published in IIS virtual
directory) in Notepad, and then change the following line:
var domain = getDomain();

To
var domain = "IIS Server's external IP";

Installation 17
The file docwrite2.asp now should look like this:
function getDomain() {
// document.location.host returns server and port.
// This function returns document name, without port.
return document.location.host.split(':')[0];
}
function writeApplet() {
var content = "<object classid='clsid:7EB4D157-FACC-45BB-9536-C14B9DCE3CA7'";
content += " width='100%' height='100%'>";
var domain = getDomain();
// if domain is on a different server, it must be set below
// domain = "myserver";
content += "<PARAM NAME='Domain' VALUE='" + domain + "'>";
content += "<PARAM NAME='Screen' VALUE=''>";
content += "<PARAM NAME='CachePath' VALUE=''>";
content += "<PARAM NAME='Ping' VALUE='0'>";
content += "<PARAM NAME='StartReadOnly' VALUE='0'>";
content += "</object>";
document.write(content);
}
writeApplet();

4.4.2.1 E3 Server Configuration


This configuration is the same as the one described in IIS Configuration with E3 Server on the
Same Machine. After this operation, servers are configured and ready to be accessed.

4.5 Viewing on Client Application


If the server is using a web server, such as IIS, just type server's address or IP on browser's
address bar (for example, http://servername/virtual_directory or http://192.0.0.21/
virtual_directory).

During server's first access, the browser will start installing components, in case they had not
been previously installed, as seen at the beginning of this chapter. This component is signed
by Elipse Software, and users must accept the installation to start the necessary
configurations.

WebViewer Installation

18 Installation
After installation, the WebViewer will be opened in the browser, and viewing server's
application. Next time it will not be necessary to install the components, and connection will
be faster.

NOTE: Client's version must match server's version. For this, the installer file (e3webviewer-
x86-enu.exe) on server must always be the most updated version.

Help and Support

Elipse Software has many ways to provide product support. The first step is to check the
documentation, which includes Online Help, User's Guide, and the Internet (www.elipse.com.
br), where users can download new product versions, and also the Elipse Knowledgebase (kb.
elipse.com.br), containing articles about Drivers, E3, SCADA, etc. If documentation does not
answer the questions, users can contact our product support directly at Elipse Software, free
of charge.

6.1 Troubleshooting Guide


Here are some steps that may help users to isolate a problem before calling technical
support.

6.1.1 Revise Product Documentation


This is one of the most productive ways to find answers to user questions. Users can check the
following documentation:

· Release Notes: This document contains late-breaking information about new features. It is
located at E3's installation directory

· Manuals: Users can find information about E3 tools and resources at both User's Manual and
Scripts Reference. These manuals are electronically available in CHM format, and in printed
format within Master and Studio software packages

· VBScript Reference Guide: Official Microsoft documentation for Visual Basic Scripting
language. Users can also find this resource by clicking Documentation - VBScript Reference
Guide icon at Start - All Programs - Elipse Software - Elipse E3 program group

· MSForms Reference Guide: Official Microsoft documentation for MSForms objects. Users
can also find this resource by clicking Documentation - MSForms Reference Guide icon at
Start - All Programs - Elipse Software - Elipse E3 program group

6.1.2 Reproduce the Problem


Reproducing the problem is the first step to solve it. Once users can reproduce a problem, they
can start finding solutions for it. The following questions may give users more insight into the
problem:

Does this problem occur with only one application?

Help and Support 21


Users may want to try another application to see if they can reproduce the problem. If they
cannot reproduce it with other applications, think about what is specific about this
application.

Does this problem occur with only one machine?

If it does, it may be related to the system configuration. Try using a different video driver, or
even modifying the system configuration to see if the problem persists. It is advisable to have
a machine with configurations not much different from the average.

Which E3 version is in use?

Users can check the software version by opening the item About E3 Studio on Help menu.
Applications generated in older versions are fully compatible with recent ones; however,
applications generated in recent versions cannot be edited or executed in older versions.

Under which circumstances does this problem occur?

Does the amount of available memory affect this problem?

How about other programs running on the system?

Is there enough disk space available?

6.1.3 Isolate the Problem


After checking under which circumstances the problem occurs, users will be able to isolate it.
Once the problem is isolated, it is much easier and quicker to find solutions for it.

Try isolating the component causing the problem. Users can use information about under
which circumstances it happened to help isolate it. If the problem occurs with a script, users
may want to create a smaller example. If it is too large, try splitting it, and then executing it,
step by step.

6.2 Frequently Asked Questions


During installation, the following message appears: "The following applications should be closed
before continuing the install"

POSSIBLE REASON

Another E3 version is installed and opened while trying to install this new version.

SOLUTION

Close the older version first, and then continue installation by clicking Retry.

22 Help and Support


During installation, the following message appears: "Files in use. Files that need to be updated
are in use"

POSSIBLE REASON
