Adding areas and servers to a network distributed application
A network distributed application can consist of one or more areas, up to 10 HMI servers
(one per area or subarea), and, if necessary, multiple data servers and FactoryTalk Tag
Alarm and Event Servers. You add these elements to the application, after you create it.
Adding and deleting areas
You can add and delete areas in a network distributed application. You cannot copy areas.
To add an area
1. In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Explorer window, right-click the application root
or right-click an area name, and then click New Area.
2. In the New Area dialog box, type a name for the area, and an optional description, and
then click OK.
To delete an area
 Right-click the area you want to delete, and then click Delete.
When you delete an area, HMI servers and data servers located in the area are not
deleted from disk.
Adding an HMI server
After you create a network distributed application, you must add at least one HMI server,
either to the application’s root area, or to an area you have added.
A network distributed application can contain multiple HMI servers, but each area in an
application can contain only one HMI server.
To add an HMI server
1. In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Explorer window, right-click the application root
or right-click an area name, click Add New Server, and then click HMI Server.
