InTouch 10.1 (Standalone): Button Response

Bit_Bucket_07:

But doesn't that configuration change also come at the cost of losing the HMI redundancy?

It will, unless you setup a backup server. Older versions of InTouch won't have that option in the configuration dialog.

What happens if the 1st HMI machine fails? The Operators would have to update the 2nd machine to start reading data on its own, right?

Net_Nathan:

That's interesting information, but it still doesn't tell me what happened to the lost bit. Was it never sent, or was it never received? How does one debug these interfaces down to bare metal?

You CAN monitor the bit with the quality state of the tag, using the "dotfields" on the tags.
In TagViewer, you can monitor all the dotfields of a tag.
In WindowViewer go to Special>Tag Viewer.
The tags are on the left and the dotfield data is on the left.
