Pro-face Connect

Pro-face Connect

Overview
Pro-face Connect allows technicians and programmers to remotely monitor, diagnose, control, and
program devices. This can significantly reduce the cost of maintaining devices and maximize
device uptime. Remote access to the device is achieved by means of a private, point-to-point
connection. Access to this connection is strictly controlled and all data sent and received on the
connection is encrypted.

Use Case
This quick start guide presents a typical use case for the deployment of Pro-face Connect. It
describes how to install and configure the components of a Pro-face Connect solution, then use
them to control an HMI display unit located on a remote work site from a laptop computer located
in a local office.
The following figure shows the use case:

NOTE: The HMI appliance and the PLC must be on the same local network at the work site. Modify
all IP addresses that appear in this guide to those used on your network.
NOTE: This document illustrates one possible use case. Pro-face Connect supports many different
device types and architectures. Adapt the steps in this document to correspond to your
environment.

6
Use Case Components

Overview
The following sections describe the components of the use case solution.
For overall system requirements, refer to Operating Environment.

Licenses
You must have a pack of licenses to use Pro-face Connect.
For more information about the available license types, click on the following link: http://www.pro-
face.com/trans/en/manual/1061.html.
This document assumes the use of a 30-day free trial pack of licenses, which includes:
 1 x Pro-face Connect LinkManager license
 1 x Pro-face Connect SiteManager Extended 5 agents license

HMI/IPC Appliance
This use case assumes the use of a GP4000 Series touchscreen display unit compatible with the
latest version of the GP-Pro EX (Ver. 4.07.100 or later).
NOTE:
The HMI appliance must have Internet access. For HMI appliances with no Web browser in the
application, you can check this as follows:
1. Temporarily connect a PC at the same network connection point
2. Set the PC network settings to those of the HMI appliance
3. Start an Internet browser on the PC and check you can access Web pages.
This may require retrieving settings or obtaining authorization from the IT infrastructure of the work
site. Only outbound authorization is required in most cases.
For a complete list of appliances that support Pro-face Connect, refer to Supported Model List.

SiteManager
The SiteManager software runs on the HMI appliance. It is installed on the appliance as part of GP-
Pro EX RunTime.
To be registered with the GateManager component, SiteManager requires outgoing access to
specific ports and protocols. At least one of the following outbound rules must be granted on the
HMI appliance:
 TLS through Web proxy
 HTTPS to remote IP address of GateManager, remote port 443
 TLS over HTTP to remote IP address of GateManager, remote port 80

The SiteManager has a web user interface in order to configure it. The SiteManager web user
interface is accessible from the GateManager web user interface.

LinkManager
The LinkManager software is installed on a laptop computer in the office and is typically used by
service engineers. LinkManager allows secure remote access to devices.
This use case assumes:
 A laptop computer running Windows 10, 64-bit edition
 A Windows user account on the laptop computer with administrator privileges.
 Access to the Internet using the HTTPS protocol. This may need to be configured on the
corporate firewall and/or the personal firewall on the PC.

7
 Pro-face Connect

LinkManager Mobile
LinkManager Mobile allows users to remotely access equipment via their iPhone, iPad or Android
devices.
It is designed for accessing graphical interfaces on PLCs or HMIs, for example.
For more information, refer to the Pro-face Remote HMI FAQ on the Pro-face Website.

GateManager
The GateManager software runs on a Schneider Electric-hosted network server. You use
GateManager to create secure, encrypted connections between appliances on the work site and
the LinkManager software running on personal computers in the office. The Web-based user
interface requires use of the HTTPS protocol. When you request a trial license, or purchase a
license, a secure, private customer domain folder on the server is automatically created. Login
credentials of a GateManager administrator account on this customer domain are then provided
by email.
It is the role of the GateManager administrator to configure this domain. This involves:
 Attaching purchased licenses to SiteManager appliances.
 Creating subdomains for organizing equipment based on their purpose, access level, physical
location, and so on.
 Verifying for the entire customer domain the network status of all SiteManager and LinkManager
components.
 Creating and managing other GateManager administrator accounts and LinkManager user
accounts.

WARNING
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
 Before any maintenance action, ensure by phone that you have on-site agreement.
 Before any update, ensure that you have a stable Internet and electricity environment.
 In particular, do not use 3G through a mobile phone setup as tethering hotspot for any update
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Device
This use case assumes the use of a PLC, which has a configurable Ethernet interface. The device
must be physically connected to the HMI appliance with an Ethernet cable. Make a note of the
Ethernet configuration details (IP address and subnet mask) of the device.
Pro-face Connect supports a wide range of both Schneider Electric and third-party devices.

Remote Monitoring Software

Pro-face Connect only establishes a connection to the appliance. Therefore, any remote
monitoring software can be used provided that the network requirements (open ports, and so on)
are met.
This use case assumes the use of GP-Viewer EX, installed on the same laptop computer as the
LinkManager software.

Internet Browser
An Internet browser is required to access the Web-based user interfaces of LinkManager,
SiteManager, and GateManager.
This document assumes the use of Google Chrome version 67. Any recent version of Mozilla
Firefox or Internet Explorer 9 (or later) can also be used.

8
Configuring a Web-Proxy Server
Depending on the network policies in place at the work site, outgoing connections to the Internet
may be restricted (IP address range blocked, port range blocked, protocol types blocked, and so
on). Both the SiteManager and LinkManager components may require a Web proxy to access the
Internet.
If this is the case, contact the network administrator of your work site for help in setting up the
connection to the Internet to use a Web proxy.
The SiteManager user interface, for example, allows you to configure a Web proxy:

Web-proxy Address. IP address of the Web proxy. An IP address, optionally followed by a colon
(:) and a port number. For example, 10.11.0.100:9400 or 10.0.11.0.100 (port 80 is used by
default).
Web-proxy Account. Web proxy user name, if any.
Web-proxy Password. Password for the Web proxy user name, if any.
NOTE: For information on how to enter this interface, or details about each setup item, refer to the
GP-Pro EX Reference Manual.
