Hi guys.
We use a desktop computer running a application via factorytalk to allow operators to interface instead of a HMI.
The hdd is unfortunately on its way out!
My question is however.. I don't really grasp why we're using windows server? It is simply the one HMI that is ran on it to one PLC processor. Could i not setup a new hdd and just stick windows 7 on it with factory talk and run the hmi through that? or is there something I'm missing
