A distributed solution may be any of the above, or a combination of the ideas.
When your topography is defined, the steps to connect each Client or Server
are the same.
18-5 Creating a CX-Supervisor Server application
A Server application must collect device data, and allow clients to access it. It
may also have other elements like graphics, control or logging. To create your
application:
• Create Device points for every data value required by the Server
application and any required by any client. See Chapter 3 - Points for more
details.
• Configure DCOM on the server machine, to allow access from the client
machines. See Appendix A for further details.
• Add any other elements required by the Server application e.g. Graphics,
Control, Logging, Alarms etc.
Be sure to note the computer name of the server machine.
18-6 Creating a CX-Supervisor Client application
The client must retrieve the data, and process it. To create your application:
• Add any elements required by the Client application e.g. Graphics,
Control, Logging, Alarms etc.
• Configure DCOM on the client machine, to allow access from the server
machines. See Appendix A for further details.
• Create points for every data value required by the Client application
following these steps:
1, 2, 3… 1. Start CX-Supervisor Development and open your application, or start a
