I was wondering if someone could please help me with the following:
Currently I have 3 seperate computers, each running their own factory talk directory, data server and hmi server. I have just installed a dedicated computer that serves strictly as the Factory talk directory. I would like to combine the three hmi servers into one central application.
I would like to have the following configuration:
Computer 1 = FT directory, Application(??)
Computer 2 = HMI server 1 and HMI server 2, 2 data servers, and a client for HMI server #1
Computer 3 = Client for HMI server 2
Computer 4 = HMI server 3 and 1 data server, and a client for HMI server 3
Computer 5 = FT View SE studio
According to the best practices tech note, I can have no more than 2 HMI servers residing on the same computer, but I can have up to 10 HMI servers within the application(without redundancy)
I have what I just described set up, but have yet to make more than 1 HMI server communicate successfully.
Does this look like an acceptable scenario?
Would I be better with one data server common to all HMI servers? If so, would it be alright to have the data server reside on the factory talk directory?
I would appreciate any insight, help, advice or otherwise..
Thanks, Mike
