Step 3—Add an HMI Server This step applies to distributed applications only. Stand-alone applications contain one HMI server that is created automatically when the application is created. The HMI server stores project components (for example, graphic displays), and serves these components to clients. The server also contains a database of tags, and performs alarm detection, and historical data management (logging). For details, see Chapter 5, Working with distributed applications. Step 4—Plan how you will access data This step is necessary so you can complete steps 5, 6 or 7. To access data, you need to plan two things: • how the application will communicate with the programmable controllers or devices on the network. • once communications have been set up, how the application will access values in the programmable controllers or devices. Setting up communications with devices To access values in programmable controllers or devices, you need to • know what kinds of controllers or devices you are using. • plan how the application will communicate with the controllers or devices. Communicating with ControlLogix ® processors, or with large numbers of clients For communications with ControlLogix processors, RSView provides built-in support via RSLinx ® Enterprise. RSLinx Enterprise also 1–8 RSView Supervisory Edition User’s Guide
provides better performance than RSLinx for RSView when communicating with large numbers of clients. RSLinx Enterprise cannot perform online tasks such as uploading and downloading RSLogix ® 5000 files to a controller. If you need to provide this capability, use RSLinx for RSView. Next steps If you are using RSLinx Enterprise, create an RSLinx Enterprise data server in RSView Studio that points to the computer on which RSLinx Enterprise is running, and then create a device shortcut in RSLinx Enterprise. For more information, see step 5. Communicating with Allen-Bradley ® local and remote devices For communications with Allen-Bradley local and remote devices, or with a small number of clients, RSView provides built-in support via RSLinx for RSView, RSLinx Gateway, and RSLinx Enterprise When to use RSLinx for RSView RSLinx for RSView provides restricted OPC ® communications and FactoryTalk communications with Rockwell Automation PLCs and RSView SE Servers. You do not need to install an activation key to make RSLinx for RSView work provided you run RSLinx for RSView on the same computer as the RSView SE Server. Use RSLinx for RSView when: • the information being served to RSView SE Servers or RSView SE Clients is local. • the RSLinx data server is installed on the same computer as the RSView SE Server. When to use RSLinx Gateway You must install an RSLinx activation key to enable RSLinx Gateway if: • the information is being served to a third-party OPC client. Getting started 1–9
