Hi all,

I have a new project where I have two operator stations and 2 PLCs.
My difficulties is that my customer is requesting to be able to have either:
- one operator station related to only one PLC (and to be able to select which one)
- one or both operator stations able to monitor both PLCs.

My difficulty is to choose the right Proview project architecture.

I would like ideally to have separate projects for both PLCs and to have the Operator station in another project in order to be able to track the changes and the versionning more easily.
That being said my questions are the following:

- Can we mount a volume declared in a separate project in proview ? What is the syntax to use in the Mountobject ?
- Can the EventSelectList in the operator station being adjusted dynamically ? ie changed from PLC1 to PLC2 or both without having to restart Proview ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Snarf,

You can mount volumes in other nodes that share the same Qcom bus. Insert the object identity into the mountobject object, eg _O0.1.2.3:456789. You can see the object identity for an object by selecting it and enter the command 'show objid'. Works in the configurator and in xtt.

The select list can be modified without restart. Enter the new list into EventSelectList and set EventListUpdated to 1.

Thanks for answer Claes,
We just made a trial but the MounObject is not converted into the directory / path name as when it is not recognized.
I just remind that I try to do this in two separated proview project not only two diffrent nodes inside the same project.
They are indeed both using the same QCom Id bus but it doesn't look to work with a standard MountObject object. Do you need a MountVOlume object instead or in addition to the MountObject ?
Thanks for clarification
Snarf

You also have to configure the qcom commnumication between the nodes with FriendNodeConfig objects in the directory volumes.

/Claes

In both nodes or only the one that is requesting to mount the other ?
Is the FriendNodeConfig also required even if the AutoQComDisable is set to No ?
Thanks
Snarf

In both nodes and regardless of AutoQComDisable.
