Hi guys,
This one is becoming a major problem for me as Im off overseas in 4 days to implement the system, only one item remains, getting the HMI redundant servers to work properly.
Im using FactoryTalk SE version 5.0 running on Windows XP
Ok so these are the computers in the system (im currently using virtual machines to test it all)
HMI Server PC #1
Running a HMI Server and Alarm and Event Server
HMI Server PC #2
Running a HMI Server
Data Server PC
Running RSLinx Enterprise Data Server
Operator Client PC x 2
Running FactoryTalk SE Client only
I have the redundancy set up and it switches over to the standby properly. The replicate function works properly, it all seems to work quite happily...
UNTIL.....
When the "STANDBY" HMI server is in control, when it is 'active':
- I CAN NOT NAVIGATE BETWEEN PAGES
- I CAN NOT CALL POPUPS
The data is being recieved and sent to the PLC, I can start and stop things and 'close' popups that are already open but... the display page function doesnt work!
Seriously I spent 6 hours on the phone to rockwell support today to no avail, please guys any help is much appreciated, im starting to worry...!
