IX 2.40 SP4
Since the Box2 has no display or built in web service, The attached projects can be helpful for diagnosting and commisioning Box2 applications.
See attached Box2 firmware manual for details on procedures,LED status etc.
The consept is like this:
- Add available system diagnostics tags in the box2 taglist (arrow on add button)
- Enable the WEB server in the box2 project, and download beijer preconfigured html content., according to the firmware manual.
- the content can be found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Beijer Electronics AB\iX Developer 2.40 SP4\Bin\DiagnosticsPage
- Now you can surf to the terminal with a standard browser, and get some info on the state of the box2. use this URL: http://IPadress/Diagnostics/index.html
The attached project "Box2Diagnostics" is preconfigured with the webcontent and all neccessary settings, and should work "out of the box". just download the project.
In this Box2 project the OPCUA server isa also enabled, thus making it possible to access the tags from an OpcUa client. Such as the attached X2 project "ReadBox2Diagnostics_OPCUA", that connects to the box2 with the OPC UA driver and shows the info in a screen. (just adhust the IP adress of the driver to point at your box2)
In this Box2 project there is also a modbus TCP slave configured, thus making it possible to read the diagnostics from a ModbusTCP master enabled device. Such as the attached X2 project "ReadBox2DiagnosticsModbusTCP" that connects to the box2 with the Modbus Master driver and shows the info in a screen. (just adjust the IP adress of the driver to point at your box2)

Added project Box2Diagnostics_vnc to suport IX 2.40SP6 Box2_VNC target that allows screens in box2. Therby the diagnostic info is also available in a screen that can be viewed with a VNC client (e.g. our own remote access viewer)
