Is your server setup and communicating with your PLC?
Do you have client licences etc?

Are all you client nodes the same? e.g. Do they have all the same graphics

Will your ifix database be on your server and you client nodes SCU be pointed to your server?

hi micky
my server is communicating with PLCs and I have client licence .

all my client nodes are the same with the same graphics.

my ifix database is on server and my client nodes SCU are pointing to server.Is there anything else in software?
I connect all plcs,server and clients to one hub .Is that correct?

I wouldnt use a hub. Use a switch.

Please be more specific about what your problem is

Generel steps
1. Enable network in scu on SCADA
2. Setup Windows network so you can ping SCADA from clients - use Windows hosts file if necessary.
3. Add SCADA Nodename as remote node on client scu
4. Start ifix and use nethis.exe tool so see if the connections work.

You would have to purchase 3 new IFix packages.
