You can also start or stop the HMI server components manually. To do this, in the
Components tab, click Run Startup Components and Stop All Running
Components,
respectively.

To select HMI server startup and shutdown components

1. In the HMI Server Properties dialog box, click the Components tab.

2. To specify startup components, select the component check boxes, and then select the

components you want to start automatically, when the HMI server starts running.

3. To specify a shutdown macro, select the check box On shutdown macro, and then

select the macro you want to run when the HMI server stops running.

Set up the FactoryTalk View SE Client

The FactoryTalk View SE Client provides a complete and secure run-time environment
for a network station application. For example, operators can use the client to:

Load, view, and interact with multiple graphic displays from the HMI server.

Manage alarm information.

View trends.

Adjust set points.

Start and stop server components.

To run a network station application, the FactoryTalk View SE Client must run on the
same computer as the HMI server.

If you have already set up a FactoryTalk View SE Client file for the application, you can
copy the file to the production computer. Otherwise, you can create a new client file.

Creating a new FactoryTalk View SE Client file

FactoryTalk View SE Client configuration files specify the name of the application the
client will connect to, the components that start when the connection is made, and how the
client will behave at run time.

To create a new client file, use the FactoryTalk View SE Client Wizard. You can also use
the wizard to modify or run an existing client file, or to remove a client from the list of
available files.

You do not have to start the HMI server the client will connect to, in order to use the FactoryTalk
View SE Client Wizard.
