To add an OPC data server
1. In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Explorer window, right-click the application root,
select Add New Server > OPC Data Server.
2. Set up properties, such as the name and location of the server, and whether to provide
redundancy using a secondary server.
For details, see the RSLinx Classic (or other OPC data server) product documentation.
For additional information about setting up RSLinx and OPC data servers, see Chapter 9,
Setting up communications.
Adding a Tag Alarm and Event Server
Optionally, you can add FactoryTalk Tag Alarm and Event Servers to an application.
Tag Alarm and Event Servers use FactoryTalk Alarms and Events services to monitor and
control alarms for tags in programmable controllers (PLC-5 or SLC 500) and other
devices, that do not have built-in alarm detection.
Setting up HMI server properties
After creating a local station application, use the HMI Server Properties dialog box to:
 A dd a description of the HMI server.
 Select the components that will run when the HMI server starts up.
 Specify a macro that will run when the HMI server shuts down.
 Start or stop components manually.
To open the HMI Server Properties dialog box
 In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Explorer window, right-click the HMI server icon,
and then select Properties.
You do not have to specify a startup type for the HMI server in a local station application. The
HMI server always starts automatically, when a FactoryTalk View SE Client connects to the
application.
