Settings
Description
On startup components
For startup components to be loaded and run when the system initializes, the startup type must be set in the HMI Properties General tab to
Load and run startup components when operating system initializes
.
  • Data logging
    Select this option and specify a data log model to start data logging. Multiple models can be used with a single HMI project, but only one can be specified here. This is the same as giving the DataLogOn command with the model name. If multiple models need to be started use multiple DataLogOn commands in the Startup macro.
  • Derived tags
    Select this option and specify a derived tag file to be run. Multiple derived tag files can be used with a single HMI project, but only one can be specified here. If multiple derived tag files need to be started, use multiple DerivedOn commands in the Startup macro.
  • Events
    Select this option and specify an event file to be run. Multiple event files can be used with a single HMI project, but only one can be specified here. If multiple event files need to be started, use multiple EventOn commands in the Startup macro.
  • Macro
    Select this option and specify a macro to be run. You can use the startup macro to run additional data log models, derived tag files, and event files.
    Note
    : We don't recommend defining tag writing in startup macro, because during service startup, it's possible that not all tags can be written successfully. Use on active macro or on standby macro instead.
On shutdown macro
Check this option and select a macro that is to be run when the Stop All Running Components button is pressed.
On active macro
Check this option and select a macro to be run when the server becomes active. This option is only available when redundancy has been set up in the Redundancy tab of the HMI Server Properties dialog box.
On standby macro
Check this option and select a macro to be run when the server goes into standby mode. This option is only available when redundancy has been set up in the Redundancy tab.
Run Startup Components
Click this button to manually start all the startup components on the primary server.
Note:
 If the primary HMI server is the active HMI Server and the "Stop all running components" button has been clicked, the "On active" macro will not execute when "Run Startup Components" of the primary HMI server is clicked. This is because the primary HMI Server remained the active HMI Server and never transitioned to the standby HMI Server.
Stop All Running Components
Click this button to manually stop all components that are running on the primary server including all data log models, all derived tag files and all event files. If a shutdown macro has been specified, it will be run.
Run Startup Components
Click this button to manually start all the startup components on the secondary server.
This option is only available when redundancy has been set up.
Stop All Running Components
Click this button to manually stop all components that are running on the secondary server including all data log models, all derived tag files and all event files. If a shutdown macro has been specified, it will be run.
This option is only available when redundancy has been set up.
