Hi All,
I have a current system with a Red Lion G310 Graphite screen (HMI-1) connected via Ethernet to a CompactLogix L33E. I have been requested to install a 2nd G310 Screen (HMI-2) to display / control the same as the original HMI (HMI-1). Manual control for valves and motors can be controlled for either screen etc. The client requires "user management" for security, which is existing in HMI-1 using the "User Management" primitive.
My question is: does anybody have an idea / achieved being able to pass "passwords" between the 2 HMI's? Basically, if a users password is changed on HMI-1, then the same users password needs to be updated on HMI-2, so that user can still access setpoints etc. by logging on using the same "user name" and "password" on either screen.
I have tried configuring the password as a "String" tag and an "Integer" tag, so I can pass it to the relevant HMI via the PLC. It would appear that the Graphite series cannot read tags as passwords. On the security setup page in Crimson 3.0, under credential for that user is where I placed the tag (=PW_Tag) configured as a string (8 characters) and an Integer, with no luck.
Any thoughts or suggestion, gladly accepted.
Thanks
Woolie
