RSView Supervisory Edition Installation Guide

Selecting the HMI server’s startup and
shutdown components
In the Components tab of the HMI Server Properties dialog box, select
the check box for each of the items you want to run when the HMI
server runs. Where required, specify the name of a component.
Use the Components tab to select:
• which components will run when the HMI server starts.
• which macros will run when the HMI server shuts down.
• which macros will run when switching to the secondary HMI
server, or back to the primary HMI server.
For details about the options in the Components tab, see Help.
The HMI server can be started automatically when the operating
system starts, or manually. For details about starting the HMI server
manually, see page 26-11.
IMPORTANT
The order in which items appear in the Components tab
is not the order in which items will run. If you have
created an HMI server that has components that must
start in a particular order, create a macro that will run
when the HMI server starts.
Running a macro when the HMI server becomes the active
HMI server
The macro that runs when the HMI server becomes active is called the
On active macro. An HMI server can become active if another HMI
server fails, or if it is a primary server at startup time. Any macro can
be used as the On active macro.
If you have not set up a secondary server in the Redundancy tab, the
On active macro is not available.
