Dear All ,
I am building SCADA solution for HVAC system using Factory Talk View 7, I am using rslogix 5000 to creat the automation program as you can see in the fig below:
, for know i am developing HMI and SCADA application using virtual machine and without PLC and network of the real system , so I create the program for the PLC , but i am building (drawing and assigning) the HMI objects with direct reference tags (offline tags) ,i get through RSlinx enterprise which have no physical connection to it , I added a node and devices in rslinx enterprise because i do not have the PLC rack yet (unfortunately i will have it during the commissioning).
My questions are : What is the best way to create HMI application without having physical connection to the PLC?or the PLC itself?
Can I test the application without the physical connection to the PLC?
when I create my first version of the HMI FTV SE i get this error
I tried to see through plctalk forum but i did not see a clear answer to deal with it , i need help to resolve this error!!
I have to build HMI using FTV ME for panel view 10, and SE application for SCADA PC system , is the direct reference tagging system will be a problem or i need to create my own HMI tags in the data server? which option is better?
I am counting on you to help me with that.
Thanx in advance
