RE: Local Station to Network Distributed conversion for ThinManager

Your HMI is saved in the following directory: C:\Users\Public\Documents\RSView Enterprise\SE\HMI projects When you create a FT Network application, you can import\reference that existing HMI... thus converting a SE Station to SE Distributed is just creating a Distributed app and importing the HMI that ...

RE: NIC Teaming

On the client side, I would recommend using TM terminals which have two ethernet ports as seen in your image. The ThinManger terminals have a driver that you can deploy to the TM terminal to provide redundant ethernet... see video On the server side, I would do the NIC teaming in the Hypervisor.. If ...

Just to reiterate. The 5 HMI Clients connect to MyPlant Application which contains 4 areas where each area has a Graphic server using the existing Gfx license. VWSS010AENE would indicate 10 Gfx display, but I don't think 10 was an option.. maybe 15/25/100?. Two of these Gfx server services are made redundant ...

Jon, Good question. I did not do the FTVIEW16 installation but below I compare it to my Svr22-EWS and they both have SQL Express. The FTVIEW16 doesn't have a name instance while Svr22-EWS\SQLEXPRESS does. The FTAE DB Connection details allow the instance to be blank. ----------------- ...

I'm not using Win11. I am currently using Server 2025 w/ Logix Designer v38. However, I did the testing on Server 2022 with Logix Designer v36.02. Obviously completely different environments, but I was interested to see if there was some issue with opening your existing file... and that doesn't seem ...

DAF, I have v36 and I'm not seeing the same issue. Maybe it is your ACD file? Try to open my file attached below and see if the problem follows the ACD file or the environment? L71v36.ACD L71v36.L5X -------------------------------------------

Splash, Looking at the datatype, Pump 1-2 have no datalinks and Pump 3-5 do. AB:PowerFlex755_EENET indicates there are no datalinks... just the default Input data e.g. DriveStatus and Feedback AB:PowerFlex755_E_xxxxxx indicates datalink(s) are configured e.g. DriveStatus, Feedback, DCBusVolts ...

Venter, If you are using RSLinx.. Configure the Ethernet driver and drill down to the EN2T-> to the 1756-backplane, over to the DHRIO, out DH+ and over to the SLC5/05. Configure a topic to the SLC and use OPC/DDE. In RSLinx, you are graphically building the CIP path to the controller. If you ...

Retzlaff, Google "HMI stuck bit" and you'll see it can happen on just about any brand of HMI software. There are various causes... probably 1/2 of the time it's related to communications being overloaded or a timing issue (PLC didn't "see" the bit change because the duration was too short). If you ...

I think the "optional" part is "Encrypt Connection" and "Trust certificate". The SQL login must be either a Windows account (FTView16\Administrator) or a SQL account (sa). What Windows user account did you use to install SQL? SQL Server Management Studio is not required, but I install it as an ...

In the OT space... if I assume "zones and conduits" refers to CIP Security policies via FactoryTalk Policy manager... then yes, any switch will work because CIP Security is implemented in the end device and it has no dependency on the infrastructure or media system.

I watched the video. Null task is almost always >25% Overall, CPU is about 75%.... saw one spike to 83% but Null Task was still 17% Not sure what more you are trying to achieve, because I think you already in the "sweet spot". When you close and open your HMI pages, potentially, a lot of tags ...

Faisal On an L7, what you want is some Idle time... ideally 20%-25% idle time.... an no task overlap. You may find slowing down the user task will increase the % idle time... to a point and then it becomes less effective... so there is "sweet spot". Although the controller can have 32 user task with ...

xuanyang Redundancy has it's own firmware requirements. To put the L71 in v35 redundancy, you need v35.051 or v35.052, or v35.052. see release notes -------------------------------------------
