Tabbed displays in Station HMIWeb tabbed displays are an optional server-wide setting available for Station.

Operators can call up displays in individual tabs within a Station window in either an existing tab or in a new tab, and can then move between displays by clicking on the tab of the display they want to view.

The tab of a point detail display and any custom display that is associated with an alarm group shows an alarm icon to indicate the most important alarm on that display.

Visual display improvements As part of the R410 release, the system displays have gone through a systematic process of alignment to a common streamlined style. These changes were principally cosmetic to improve visual clarity and consistency across the product while minimizing any risk of functional degradation. These changes include the following:

• Modernization of controls – combo boxes, alphanumeric fields, indicators, buttons.

• Modernization of icons, including for the Station toolbar.

• Streamlined visual treatment of headings, grouped content, and table formats to improve clarity and scalability.

• Improved consistency between .dsp and HMIWeb (.htm) pages.

• Application of system-wide style sheets and new inline styles across all system displays.

• Alignment and spacing of controls in general to improve visual consistency.

• Standardized page backgrounds to improve page appearance and scaling for supported display resolutions.



3.10 Support for non-redundant to redundant server conversion Prerequisites

Following are the perquisites to convert a non-redundant server to a redundant server.

• The non-redundant server’s name must be the base name for the redundant pair. For example, if the non-redundant server is called “hssvr”, then the redundant pair must be known as “hssvrb” (changed from hssvr). The other redundant server (hssvra) must be newly installed.

• The redundant pair must have the same hardware and software configuration.

• You must have appropriate Redundant license.

The non-redundant to redundant server conversion consists of the following steps:

• Naming the Servers

• Changing computer names

• Turning server B into a redundant server

Naming the Servers While changing the server names, ensure the following:

For Server B:

The original single server must be converted to Server B and the original name of the server must be retained and appended with a ‘b’. That is, ‘hssvr’ must become ‘hssvrb’.

For Server A:

The same naming convention of Server B must also be followed Server A, and the server name must end with an ‘a’. That is, the sever name must be‘hssvra’.



Changing computer names Computer naming conventions:

• All the Experion nodes (for example, Experion server, and Flex Station computers, and so on.) must have a unique name and IP address.

Basic naming restrictions:

There are basic restrictions when changing the name of computers, which are:

• The computer name should be 15 characters in length.

• The computer name must begin with an alphabetic character, such as a to z, or A to Z.

• The computer name cannot contain spaces or other non-standard characters.

• The last letter of the computer name is restricted for redundant servers:

o Primary Experion server computer names must end with the letter A.

o Secondary Experion server computer names must end with the letter B.

To change computer names, perform the following steps.

Step Action

1 Change the computer name using Windows from <ServerName> to <ServerNameB>.

2 Restart the computer.

3 Log on to the Experion node as a user who is part of both the Administrators and the Product Administrators group.

4 Go to the Experion PKS Services Control Panel at:

<install_drive>\Program Files (x86)\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Utilities\ SSServices\SSServices.exe.

5 Stop all Services using the Experion PKS Services Control Panel.



Step Action

6 After the services are stopped, open up the MS Services snap-in and then restart the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER).

7 Open a Command Prompt, as an Administrator.

8 Run the command ‘hscconfig /rename <old computer name>’.

Wait for the process to complete.

9 Close the cmd window and then restart the computer.

10 After restarting, perform the following:

a) Log on to the Experion node as a user who is part of both the Administrators and the Product Administrators group.

b) Start Configuration Studio and then open Quick Builder.

c) Go to the following locations and ensure that the Upload path and the Download path are changed according to the new server name.

− Servers->server details->Upload path

− Servers->server details->Download path

ATTENTION

If the Upload path and the Download path have not changed according to the new server name, change them manually.

Updating the hosts file



ATTENTION

You need to complete this task, only if you are renaming the server node.

To update the hosts file, perform the following steps.

Step Action

1 In a text editor application, such as Notepad, open the hosts file located at:

%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\.

2 Locate each of the old computer names and then change them to new computer names.

If a computer name is appended with the numbers 0 or 1, retain the numbers and the replace the remainder of the computer name.

3 Save the changes to the hosts file.

4 Copy the updated hosts file to the %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\ folder, of each node on your Experion system.

Note: A copy of the updated hosts file must reside on all computers on the Experion system.

Changing server B into a redundant server

Step Action

1 On Server B, in the Experion PKS Server Start-Stop Experion, change the system from System Running to Database Only.

2 Update to a redundant server license.

3 Open Windows Explorer and then go to:

C:\programdata\honeywell\experion pks\server\user

4 Open redun.hdw,using the Notepad.

5 Ensure the following lines in redun.hdw do not have an &, as first character:

DEL PSW00

ADD PSW00 NETWORK_PSW RECOVER=REBOOT IDLE=10 READ=15

DEL LNK00



Step Action

ADD LNK00 NETWORK_LINK

And if you have a dual LAN network, also remove & from the following lines:

& DEL LNK01

& ADD LNK01 NETWORK_LINK

6 Open Command Prompt as a user with Admin privileges and then go to: c:\programdata\honeywell\experion pks\server\user

7 Type hdwbld redun.hdw and then press ENTER. The command executes successfully and displays hardware build complete 0 errors.

8 On the server in the Experion PKS Server Control Panel, set the system from Database Only to Database Unloaded to System Running (to run as primary).

9 Build Server A and then ensure that you have provided the:

• Correct name.

• Correct host file.

• Correct license.

10 Sync Server B with Server A.
