Specify OPC data server host computer names
After moving RSLinx Classic configuration files to production computers, open the
restored local station application, and in the Properties dialog box for each data server,
specify the name of the server’s host computer.
For information about setting up other data server properties, click Help in the server’s
Properties dialog box, or see the product documentation.
To change the RSLinx Classic server computer name
1. Click Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software, and then click FactoryTalk
View Studio.
2. Select View Site Edition (Local Station), and then click Continue.
3. Click the Existing tab, select the local station application’s name, and then click
Open.
4. In the Explorer window, right-click the RSLinx Classic server’s name, and then click
Properties.
5. In the General tab, in the field, Computer that will run the OPC server, type the name
of the production computer, or click Browse to find and select the computer, and then
click OK.
Specify when HMI server components start or stop
In FactoryTalk View Studio, open the Properties dialog box for the HMI server in the
application, to view the location of the HMI project files, the current number of displays
in the application, and the maximum number of displays allowed.
You can add a description for the HMI server and, in the Components tab, select
components that will start when the HMI server starts running.
Unlike RSLinx Classic data servers, you do not have to change the computer names of RSLinx
Enterprise data servers. The RSLinx Enterprise data server in a local station application must be
located on the same computer as the application, and is always named localhost.
The first time you open an application after relocating a data server, if the server does not load,
you should still be able to open the Properties dialog box and change the host computer name.
After the computer name is updated, the server should load as expected.
In a local station application, the HMI server and the application have the same name. The name
cannot be modified in the HMI server’s Properties dialog box.
