RSFieldbus Remote Access
This appendix shows two scenarios for remotely accessing RSFieldbus tags
and software.
In the first scenario, RSFieldbus is located on a Local Server and RSView SE is
located on a Remote Client. RSView SE accesses the tags from the RSFieldbus
OPC database for the purpose of displaying information and controlling the
process.
In the second scenario, RSFieldbus is on a local machine and another instance
of RSFieldbus is on a remote machine, which is temporarily connected to the
network. The remotely located RSFieldbus accesses the local version of
RSFieldbus for the purpose of editing and creating strategies. In either case,
permissions need to be made via DCOM settings to allow access.
System Criteria • All RSFieldbus tags contain no spaces
• RSFieldbus must be installed on both the Server and the Client
• The machines are in a Workgroup
• Security settings are set to the minimum
• If the machine is on a domain, the domain PS_USER account must be
added to the local Administrators group
Network Setup
• The network must be isolated with IP addresses assigned statically. If the
machine is on a domain, use the "Obtain an IP address automatically"
option.
