Application RITM.Manager ritm icon is intended for solving the following tasks:

  • Connecting and configuring RITM real-time machines;

  • Management of real-time applications generated from Engee models.

RITM.Manager can be launched from the menu Apps engee apps in the Engee workspace.

Description

ritm manager app

Interface RITM.Manager contains several areas:

The main menu consists of the following options:

ritm manager main menu

  • Reference ritm reference icon - opens documentation RITM.Manager.

  • Choose machine ritm add machine 2 x - allows you to select a machine from the list, delete a machine from the list and add a new machine. It also displays the current connection status of the machine next to the machine name (connected ritm connected; not connected ritm not connected). The process of adding a machine is described in the article Getting Started.

  • Check machine status ritm manager reload - reconnects to the machine if the connection has been broken.

  • Manage the power ritm manager power - allows you to switch off or restart the machine.

  • Update firmware ritm updater x - allows you to update the firmware and support package of the device. The upgrade process is described in the article Getting Started. Local and online updates are available:

    • Local update - allows you to select and download files for the update available offline (obtained through RITM technical support).

    • Online Update - checks if there is a new firmware version/support package available online and offers to update it.

Application Management

The panel Application Management displays a list of all real-time applications loaded on the machine. It displays which application is currently running.

The applications are controlled using the buttons:

  • Run ritm start app - the currently running application is stopped and the selected application is started.

  • Stop ritm stop app - the currently running application is stopped.

  • Run at startup ritm auto start - the selected application will be placed in autorun, so it will automatically start when the machine is switched on.

  • Delete ritm delete app - if the selected application is running, it is stopped and then deleted from the machine.

Machine settings

  • Configuring the host-target network interface - allows you to change the IPv4 address on the machine.

    It also automatically changes the IP address in the connection profile. If the connection is not restored immediately after the address change, use the button Check machine status ritm manager reload button in the main menu to restore the connection.

  • Configuring Network interfaces - allows you to configure the network interfaces available on the machine.

    Pressing the button Reset network interface settings resets all network interfaces except the host-target interface.

Service messages

The panel Service messages displays service and status messages for the user:

Network Setup

Note that the host IP address (set in your operating system settings) must be on the same subnet as the IP address of the RITM machine.

It is not recommended to simultaneously use several network interfaces with IP addresses belonging to the same network. This note also applies to the host-target interface. IP addresses from the same subnet on several network interfaces can lead to routing errors and, for example, to an inability to connect to the machine via the host-target interface.

If this situation occurs, disconnect the network cables from all ports except the port marked as Host on the RITM, reconnect to the machine and configure the network interfaces correctly.

Error connecting to RITM

If the machine is powered on and pinged, but still displays a connection error, it is required to allow Insecure content (Mixed content) in the browser for the window RITM.Manager.
