How HMI server components start and stop
Use the HMI Server Properties dialog box to specify which components in a local station
application will start automatically, when the HMI server starts running.
In a local station application, the HMI server loads and the specified components start
running when the FactoryTalk View SE Client connects to the application. When the
client stops running, the HMI server is unloaded, and the specified shutdown macro is run.
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 local 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.
