Hi everybody.
This is part number 3 of my new project with stuff we don't usually work with.
Thanks to everyone who takes time to answer, it's really appreciated. I take a look every day to the new topics to see if I could help too.
I'm pretty sure this have been discussed over and over, but since I'm not sure what to look for, where to start and the fact that it has a couple layers deep, I'm just starting a new thread.
Here we go. It's a rehab, protection & control, we're replacing the PLCs (with mostly the same thing).
There is kind of an hybrid that they call SCADA which is in fact more of a HMI hosted on a VM on a local desktop (or a server, not really important for now).
It's InTouch. Pages already exists, we'll do few minor modifications since it's a rehab, mostly remap on a lot of things.
We requested for backups and information, and I need to build a setup from that information that will then be use on site, and I have no idea where to start / if we have something to buy to set it up. Here we go. What I got from customer:
InTouch - Version 11.1.13100 2400.0179.0527.0019
Available for download / free download? (they also sent me .lic that I don't know their purpose yet) Do we propose an update for a later version (I'm guessing it's 10 years old)? What would be the impact? This is the runtime, am I right?
InTouch Window maker Ver 11.1.13100 with SN# XXXXXX (2014 R2 SP1)
My guess is that is kind of goes with the previous.
SuiteLink protocol is used to talk with Rockwell controller
I have no idea what is that. Is it like an OPC? It's bridging between Rockwell PLC and InTouch using tags, is that it? It's another software? Do I need a licence? Who sells that?
HOSTDISK_SERIAL_NUM=30BF8B02_Concurrent_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.lic
HOSTDISK_SERIAL_NUM=30BF8B02_Concurrent_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.lic
HOSTDISK_SERIAL_NUM=30BF8B02_Concurrent_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.lic
HOSTDISK_SERIAL_NUM=30BF8B02_Concurrent_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.lic
What are those? My guess would be that they have 4 runtimes available.
HMI Feb 9, 2021.exe
HMI Feb 9, 2021.exe.manifest
HMI Feb 9, 2021.inf
That looks like the page backups, which is weird to me that it would backup in the for of an .exe file. It's something like 8 MB.
I tried it on a VM with a very old InTouch version and it was trying to open something in InTouch Widow Maker before to fail, so I'm guessing this is indeed the backups.
So, what do I need to build a new VM to run that HMI?
Thank you very much.
