Specify HMI server components

In the Components tab of the HMI Server Properties dialog box you can specify components that will be loaded when the HMI server starts up, and macros that will run just before the server shuts down, when the server becomes active, and when it goes into standby mode.
The startup components will be loaded and run when the Run Startup Components button in this tab is pressed, or when the server starts up if the server startup type is set to
Load and run startup components when operating system initializes
.
Specify the HMI server startup type in the
General
 tab.
TIP:
If you are creating a redundant HMI server pair, do not specify startup files for derived tags or events. If you do this, the derived tags and event files on both the secondary and primary HMI servers will load and run when the operating system initializes. Both servers will write values from the derived tags and event files to the same tags, which can create anomalous results.
To avoid this, on both HMI servers start derived tags and event files by including the DerivedOn and EventOn commands in the OnActive macro, and stop them by including the DerivedOff and EventOff commands in the OnStandby macro.
To specify startup components for an HMI server:
  1. In FactoryTalk View SE, in the Explorer window, right-click the
    HMI server
     and then click
    Properties
    .
  2. In the
    Components
     tab, select the check boxes beside the components that should start to load and run when the operating system initializes.
  3. To specify a file for each startup component that requires one, click the down arrow beside the component's input field, and then click a file name to select it.
  4. Select the macros the application will use and select a file for each.
  5. Click
    Apply
     to save the changes.
