2.9. Configure the Station setup file

The steps in this section must be completed to be able to modify HMIWeb Station

to support display navigation of both PMD and Experion MX displays. These

configuration steps must be performed on each Integrated Operator Station.

The RAE installation creates three station setup files: Rae.stn, RaeA.stn and

RaeB.stn.

If you have a non-redundant PMD Server, perform the following configuration for

the Rae.stn file.

If you have a redundant PMD Server pair, perform the following configuration for

the RaeA.stn and RaeB.stn files.

1. The following definitions must be copied from the PMDs02A.stn to

the RAE.stn file or to the RAEA.stn and RAEB.stn. The station setup

files are located at the path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Client\Station

[LAN]

HostName= PMD_ServerName


10/17/14 P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 2-20

This entry replaces the existing HostName definition in the RAE.stn

file.

PMD_ServerName = Windows Node name of the PMD Server (e.g.

PC3157) or the floating IP of the redundant PMD Server pair.

2. In the Menu Toolbar section of the station setup file, the

Toolbar_Settings value must point to the PMD Server:

[MenuToolbar]

2.10. Configure the Server redundancy

This section describes the additions that have been implemented in the RAE R61x

to support the PMD Server redundancy. The instructions in this section apply to

both the QCS Server and the Integrated Operator Stations in an Integrated QCS /

PMD System.

In a redundant scenario, when a Station connection to the primary server is lost

(or the primary server fails), the Station attempts to connect to the backup server.

Similarly, when the backup server stops running as primary, the Station tries to

reconnect to the primary server.

This switchover is done by using an auxiliary setup file. The auxiliary setup file

contains the name of the server to connect to if the current connection is lost (or if

the current server fails).


10/17/14 P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 2-24

Two Station setup files are created automatically during the installation of the

QCS Server and the Integrated Operator Stations. These two files are:

RaeA.stn - which connects to Experion Server A

(and has auxiliary setup file RaeB.stn)

RaeB.stn - which connects to Experion Server B

(and has auxiliary setup file RaeA.stn)

When Station starts, it connects to PMD Server A (as configured in RaeA.stn). If

PMD Server A fails (or the connection to PMD Server A is lost), Station then

connects to PMD Server B (as configured in the auxiliary setup).

In a redundant server scenario, ensure that the connection parameter in the Rae

Control Panel points to the RaeA.stn file.

Add the IP address and node names for the QCS Server and the redundant PMD

Server pair to the hosts file C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc on all the nodes.

The node names for the Servers of the redundant PMD Server pair must be

defined, as shown in igure 3 1.

Figure 2-1 Example for node names of the Server in redundant PMD Server

pair

NOTE Ensure to add Floating IP address with <PMD Department Name>_SRV to the hosts file.

In the example above, PMD Department Name = PMDDEPT, Floating IP =

192.168.1.146 so line: 192.168.1.146 PMDDEPT_SRV is added to hosts file.

2.11. Configure the Integrated Operator Station for localization

The Environment variable MxSqlServerName on the Operator Station must point

to the QCS Server and BackupMxSqlServerName must point to PMD Server. If

you have a redundant PMD Server pair, use the floating IP in

BackupMxSqlServerName.

1. If you change the Environment Variables, restart the node after the

changes.

The QCS Server has to perform another build, after the PMD Server

for localization is updated.

2. After the server has completed the re-crunch, copy the build text files

to the Operator Station.

3. Add the IP address and node names for the QCS Server and the

redundant PMD Server pair to the hosts file

C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc on all the nodes.

4. The node names for the servers of the redundant PMD Server pair

must be defined as shown in Figure 2 2.

Configuring Station Setup Configuring Navigation Bar

P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 10/17/14 3-3

3.2. Configuring Navigation Bar

During the RAE software installation, the installer is prompted for the desired

type of navigation bar, Horizontal (which is best for Standard Monitors) or

Vertical (which is best for widescreen monitors). This configuration information

is saved in the Station setup files (the RAE.stn files) in the folder:

C:\ProgramData\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Client\Station

If the user would like to change which navigation bar is used after the RAE

installation, this can be done either by following the procedure in this section or

the more manual procedure documented in section 3.4 . The procedure in this

section is more automated but the user will lose any site customizations in the

RAE.stn files (because the ExpandRaeStn bat file re-creates the RAE.stn files).

Site customizations will need to be re-applied.

NOTE By following procedure given in this section in a Multiple Monitor setup, Experion

Station of all Monitors can only be configured to Either Vertical or Horizontal Navigation

bar type.

To configure the vertical or horizontal navigational bar, perform the following

steps:

Each Operator Station can support up to four local monitors (with correct video

card and Windows drivers). One instance of Station runs full-screen in each

monitor. Any QCS or DCS display may be viewed on any monitor. The only

limitation is that each LabVIEW-based QCS display may be viewed on only one

monitor at a time. Each monitor (each instance of Station) consumes one

Experion Station license. SafeView is not required to support multiple monitors.

Perform the following to configure a multi-monitor Operator Station after

installing the QCS and DCS software and completing the normal QCS setup steps

for an Operator Station.

Configuring Station Setup Configuring Multiple Monitor Setup

P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 10/17/14 3-7

Edit the Station command line to read:

RAE1.stn –slcp –d1; RAE2.stn –slcp –d2 (for two

monitors)

RAE1.stn –slcp –d1; RAE2.stn –slcp –d2; RAE3.stn –slcp –

d3; RAE4.stn –slcp –d4 (for four monitors) Or

26. If you have redundant Experion servers, edit the command line to read:

RAE1A.stn –slcp –d1; RAE2A.stn –slcp –d2 (for two

monitors)

RAE1A.stn –slcp –d1; RAE2A.stn –slcp –d2; RAE3A.stn –

slcp –d3; RAE4A.stn –slcp –d4 (for four monitors)

27. The RAE Control Panel launches one instance of Station for each stn

file specified on the command line. The –d switch defines which

monitor that instance of Station runs in.

When you launch RAE from the RAE Control Panel, multiple

instances of Station is launched, and assigned to the specified

monitors. The only restriction is that each LabVIEW-based QCS

displays can appear only on one monitor at a time. If you attempt to

navigate to the same LabVIEW-based QCS display on another

monitor, the requested display appears on the active monitor but the

monitor that was displaying this display navigates to the display that

was previously on the active monitor. The displays on the two

monitors appear to swap locations. However, when you navigate to

view a HMI display in the monitors, same display is available in both

the monitors.

Login to each instance of Station (each monitor) independently. When

logging into Station independently, be advised that the QCS software

enforces the access rights of the last user to log into any instance of

Station at this Operator Station.

To properly shutdown the applications, exit each instance of Station

and then click Shutdown RAE on the RAE Control Panel.


10/17/14 P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 3-8

3.4. Manually switch between Vertical and Horizontal navigation bars

During the RAE software installation, the installer is prompted for the desired

type of navigation bar, Horizontal (which is best for Standard Monitors) or

Vertical (which is best for widescreen monitors). This configuration information

is saved in the Station setup files (the RAE.stn files) in the folder:

C:\ProgramData\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Client\Station

If the user would like to change which navigation bar is used after the RAE

installation, this can be done either by following the procedure in section 3.2 or

the more manual procedure documented in this section. The procedure in section

3.2 is more automated but the user will lose any site customizations in the

RAE.stn files (because the ExpandRaeStn bat file re-creates the RAE.stn files).

Site customizations will need to be re-applied.

3.5. SafeView

SafeView allows for management of multiple windows and can be useful for

managing Station displays in a multi-monitor scenario. In Experion PKS R410

SafeView gets installed by default. This section provides high level steps for

configuring the SafeView in QCS node.

By default Experion is supplied with sample SafeView workspace configuration

files, located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Honeywell\Experion

PKS\Client\Station\Samples folder. These sample files are designed based on the

number of monitors used. Generally Dual Monitors are used for P3 Application.


10/17/14 P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 3-10

NOTE

Refer Section Configuring a SafeView workspace configuration file in the Experion

Server and Client Configuration Guide (EPDOC-X127-en-410A).

Refer Experion PKS SafeViewUser's Guide (EPDOC-X120-en-410A) for details on the

WDL file and concept of SafeView.

One of the Sample SafeView WDL configuration file can be selected from a

SafeView Text Editor, modified based on the number of monitors and required

SafeView window categories. After the modification the WDL file need to be

saved (Generally the SafeView WDL files can be saved at C:\Program Files

(x86)\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Client\Station\Samples folder).

RAE Station needs to be enabled for Multi Window operation as shown below

(station has to opened through SafeView for this procedure).

Go to RAE Control Panel, uncheck the “Start Station(s)” check box.

Now RAE can be started from RAE Control Panel and wait for “RAE is running”

status.

After RAE is started, launch SafeView from Start>All Programs>Honeywell

Monitor configured for QCS displays.

3.5.1. Automated startup procedure for Safeview

Since Safeview is used in Operator station, most of the sites will have Windows

Settings for restricted user account enabled; the section 12.2.1 has the procedure

to Creating Operator accounts on Experion PKS Server and Operator Station that

enables RAE to start automatically by running the script Startup.cmd. This is

available under the path C:\windows\system32\repl\import\scripts. In order to

enable automatic launch of RAE with Safeview this script needs to be modified

also in the RAE Control Panel ensure to uncheck the option Auto-Start Station(S).

Below paragraph provides an example to modify the Startup.cmd script to launch

Safeview:

start RAEControlPanel.exe "al=<1>"

sleep 50

start safeview /f"<Path for the WDL File>" /cp


10/17/14 P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 3-12

NOTE

Incase if your SafeView configuration file is EPKS_Dual_Screen_R400.WDL and its

located at folder C:\ProgramData\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Client\Station\Safeview then

the above script you need to write as:

start safeview /f"C:\ProgramData\Honeywell\Experion

PKS\Client\Station\Safeview\EPKS_Dual_Screen_r400.WDL" /cp

sleep 15

cd c:\ProgramData\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Client\Station

start station.exe RAE.stn

NOTE In case, when windows setting for user restriction is not applied the startup script

Startup.cmd under the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Honeywell\Experion MX\Rae\bin

needs to be modified by following above steps.

5. Configuring Redundancy for Experion Server

5.1. Configuring Stations for Server redundancy for Integrated QCS/Experion PKS System

The instruction in this section applies to both QCS Server and the Integrated

Operator Stations in an Integrated QCS / Experion PKS System.

When a redundant Experion server pair is used, the Experion Station application

(running on each Operator Station and the QCS Server) first attempts to connect

to the primary server, if this server is unavailable then the Station automatically

attempts to connect to the secondary server.

This switchover is accomplished using an auxiliary Station setup file. The

auxiliary setup file contains the name of the backup server..

Two Station setup files are created automatically during the installation of the

QCS Server and the Integrated Operator Stations. Following are the two files:

RaeA.stn - which connects to the Experion PKS Server A (and has

auxiliary setup file RaeB.stn)

RaeB.stn - which connects to the Experion PKS Server B (and has

auxiliary setup file RaeA.stn)

RAE R610 Configuration and Maintenance Guide Configuring Redundancy for Experion Server

10/17/14 P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 5-2

When Station starts, it attempts to connect to Experion PKS Server A (as

configured in RaeA.stn). If Experion PKS Server A fails (or the connection to

Experion PKS Server A is lost), Station then connects to Experion PKS Server B

(as configured in the auxiliary setup). In a redundant server scenario, ensure that

the connection parameter in the RAE Control Panel points to RaeA.stn file.

The IP addresses and node names of the QCS Server and the redundant Experion

PKS Server pair should be included the Windows hosts file in

\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.

To add the IP address, perform the following steps:

1. Choose Start> All Programs>Accessories>Notepad.

2. Right-click and select Run as administrator to open the Notepad.

3. Click File>Open.

4. Browse to the location C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.

5. Select All files in Files of type.

6. Select hosts file and click Open.

7. Add the IP address and node name for the QCS Server and the

redundant Experion PKS Server pair.

The node name of the servers of the redundant Experion PKS Server

pair must be in the following format:

10.1.2.3 ExperionServerNameA

ExperionServerNameA0

10.1.2.5 ExperionServerNameB

ExperionServerNameB0

8. Click Save.

P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 10/17/14 5-3

5.1.1. Configuring Stations for Faster Redundancy Failover (Optional)

To avoid slow initial call up time of the QCS displays, the RAE installation

modifies the files that are dependent on Experion Station. Due to these

modifications, the time required to start the Experion Station is a little longer than

normal.. This also increases the time required for Station failover).

If a shorter failover time is more important than slow initial QCS display call up,

perform the following steps:


PKS\RAE\Bin\Utilities folder.

2. Right-click UseExperionhmiblank.bat, and select Run as

administrator.

If you want to avoid the slow initial call up of QCS displays or make changes to

the procedure of shorter failover time, perform the following steps:

The Experion configuration steps explained in this section are normally

performed automatically by the RAE Install program unless the installer de-

selected the “Perform Experion configurations for QCS” option. If this option was

deselected when RAE was installed, you can use the following procedure to

manually configure the Experion server. If you have special requirements, you

can setup the Experion server in some other way.

NOTE The following section assumes a brand new Experion PKS system, and the configuration

is done only on QCS-Only systems.

Perform the following, if you chose to manually perform the Experion PKS setup:

1. If this is an Operator Station, go to the step 12.

2. In a server node open a Command Prompt window.

3. Set default to C:\Program Files (x86)\Honeywell\Experion

PKS\client\qckbld (or the actual location of this qckbld folder if a

different install folder was used).

4. Type hdwbld qcs0.hdw, and then press Enter.

This configures the Operator Stations for this server node. This

configures 10 static Stations and 10 rotary Stations, all using

Operator Based Security.

5. Choose Start >All Programs > Honeywell Experion PKS > Server

> Station to start the Experion Station. This starts Station with the

Default.stn connection properties file.

Data\Honeywell\Experion PKS\client\abstract).

16. The RAE installation creates an environment variable

MXExperionServerName. The initial value for this environment

variable is the local system name. If the Experion PKS Server is

running on a remote server, modify the MXExperionServerName

environment variable to point to the Experion PKS Server name.

17. The RAE installation creates the system environment variable

MxQCSNodeName. Verify that this specifies the node name of the

QCS Server and modify this environment variable as required.

If the Distiller resides on the Quality Server, the directories are set up there. Do

not set up the directories in the QCS Server as all files are written directly to the

Quality Server. The directories are created inside the Database directory as

pointed to by the MXRTDB environment variable. Create directories for each of

the following types of reports and ensure that everyone has full access to Reports

directory:

…\Reports\xxxx\Day

…\Reports\xxxx\Grade

…\Reports\xxxx\Reel

…\Reports\xxxx\Shift

…\Reports\xxxx\Week

the language from the drop-down list.

Additional QCS Setups HMI Help File Localization

P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 10/17/14 9-45

Standard Experion PKS displays, such as the Alarm Summary and the Event

Summary, do not use the RAE Localization Utility to localize operator visible text

strings. The text strings on Experion PKS displays (and other Experion PKS

server text strings) are localized using the Experion PKS Server Localization

Toolkit, which is available from the Experion PKS Technical Assistance Center

(TAC).

9.9. HMI Help File Localization

The QCS display help files are installed as part of the RAE installation. All

standard QCS display help files are savedin the following location: C:\Program

Files (x86)\Honeywell\Experion MX\Rae\Help.

These help files follow a naming convention using the format:

QCSdisplaynameHelp.mht. For example, the help file name for the Color Control

display is named as QCSColorControlHelp.mht.

Microsoft Word may be used to create localized or customized versions of these

help files. These files are saved using the Single File Webpage format (.mht).

Use the following procedure to customize these help pages:

1. Copy the standard QCS HMI help files from the location C:\Program

Files (x86)\Honeywell\Experion MX\Rae\Help to a flash drive or a

folder on another computer which has MS Word installed.

2. Use MS Word to customtize or translate the help file. Save the file

using the Single File Webpage format (.mht) and the same filename as

the original file.

3. Copy the customized file to the QCS server at the below location:

C:\ProgramData\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Client\Abstract

4. To verify that the files are edited and saved properly, open the

Experion Station.

5. Navigate to a display that now has a modified help page.

6. Click the Page Help icon on the Station toolbar, to launch the help

file. The customized or localized help file should appear.

9.10. Operator Startup Page Configuration

NOTE

It is recommended to configure the Operator Startup Page, because when you change the

logon security level from manager to operator, by keeping a QCS display open, it

provides operators access to modify the setup and other restricted operations associated

with the QCS displays.

To configure the Operator Startup Page in the Station used for monitoring the

QCS Display:

1. Log on to the computer with local administrative privileges.

2. Choose Start > All Programs > Honeywell Experion PKS > Server

> Station to start the Experion Station.

3. Log on to the Station with mngr access rights.

12. System and Users Setup Information

A system may be configured as a Windows Workgroup or as a Windows Domain.

The Workgroup model is typically used for smaller systems with fewer

users and limited user security requirements.

The Domain model is typically used for larger systems with more user

accounts.

Do not configure the system as a mix of Workgroup node and Domain nodes.

When performing the installation, configure the computer for a workgroup. After

the installation is complete, you can add the machine to a Windows Domain.

12.1. Domain Setup

This section provides the procedure for setting up a domain controller and for

using Experion MX nodes in a domain environment.

Each domain has at least one server running as a Domain Controller. The Domain

Controller is used to manage all security-related aspects between users and

resources, centralizing security and administration.

See Section 2 (Installing a Windows Domain Controller) of the in Experion

Windows Domain and Workgroup Implementation Guide Release R410, p/n

DOC-X148-en-410A for information on setting up the domain controller. This

section covers:

OS installation and configuration of the domain controller

Active directory installation and configuration

RAE R610 Configuration and Maintenance Guide System and Users Setup Information

10/17/14 P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 12-2

For information on creating domain user accounts on the domain controller for

use with the QCS nodes see Section 4 (Setting up a Windows domain

Environment) of the Experion Windows Domain and Workgroup Implementation

Guide Release R410, p/n DOC-X148-en-410A.

The domain user accounts created for use with QCS nodes must be made a

member of certain user groups on the domain controller as mentioned below:

QCSAdmin (Administrator level user accounts) - Must be made a

member of Domain Users, DCS Administrators and Administrators

group.

Restricted Operator user accounts- Must be a member of Domain

Users and Operators group.

NOTE

By default QCSAdmin and other administrator level domain user accounts are not given

domain admin rights. Hence OS features which require domain admin rights are not

accessible when logged on with these user accounts. To give domain administrator rights

to a user, it must be made a member of Domain Admins group.

Refer to Section 12.1.1 of this guide - Configuring Remote Desktop

Users for Thin Client use with QCS Server.

For configuring RAE auto start on logon for restricted operator user accounts

perform the following on the domain controller for each restricted operator user

account:

1. Click Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools, and then click

Active Directory Users and Computers on the domain controller.

The Active Directory Users and Computers window appears

2. Right-click the new restricted user account created and then click

Properties.

3. Click the Profile tab.

4. Enter Startup.cmd for the log on script name and then click OK.

12.2. Workgroup Setup

Each node in a Windows Workgroup has a local node Administrator account that

is created when Windows is installed. Any node that has the QCS Server installed

has the mngr account also defined.

Create an additional user account on the Experion PKS Server and each QCS

node in the Workgroup for each operator. They must be normal user accounts

with defined passwords. These users should not be members of the Administrators

group. The steps required for creating the operator accounts is described in

Section 12.2.1.

One user account, “Operator”, is created by RAE installation on all nodes in the

Workgroup. This account is used for supporting the restricted user access


10/17/14 P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 12-6

(restricted Windows Desktop access, and so on.). You may create additional

restricted user accounts if required. The steps required to create this kind of user

account are described in Section 12.2.2 .

NOTE Password for the Operator user is Result1#

12.2.1. Creating Operator accounts

To create Operator accounts on all QCS nodes running on Win 2008 R2 Server:

12.2.3. Setting up automatic logon

If you want Windows to start automatically without the operator entering a

Windows password, you can set up automatic logon. If you set up automatic

logon, the computer always logs on with the same user name and password.

NOTE

Computers must be configured individually for auto-logon in a domain or

workgroup.

Automatic logon can be useful in a Plant environment but you must use it with a

very restrictive user account. It should not be used with user accounts with

administrative privileges.

If you set up automatic logon for a computer, to log on as an Administrator, you

need to press the Shift key to prevent automatic logon.

After following the procedures for automatic logon, automatic logon is set the

first time after any restart. To get the computer to automatic logon after each

restart and each logoff, you must set the registry value of ForceAutoLogon = 1 in

the same key.

12.2.3.1. Setting up automatic logon in a domain

NOTE

Editing Windows registry can cause serious problems, if modified incorrectly. To

recover from the problem, you might have to reinstall the operating system. As a

best practice, ensure that you take a back up of the Windows registry before

making any changes.

This mechanism of changing the password is a security risk since a clear text

password would be visible in the registry entry.

To set up an automatic logon in a domain, edit the following registry entries.

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\

2. DefaultUserName = the user account name

3. DefaultPassword = the password for that account

4. DefaultDomainName = computer name for local accounts or domain name for

domain accounts


P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 10/17/14 12-11

5. AutoAdminLogon = 1


7. Make sure system will log on automatically, if not repeat the procedural steps

from 1 to 5 second time.

12.2.3.2. Setting up automatic logon in a workgroup

This section provides the procedural steps to configure the user account to auto

logon to windows. This avoids the user to enter the user account password every

time when the computer is starting up.

1. Open the Run window by pressing Windows key+R or Choose Start

> Run.

The Run dialog box appears.

2. Type control userpasswords2 and click OK.

The User Accounts dialog box appears.


10/17/14 P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 12-12

3. Go to Users tab, select the user account (Example: QCSAdmin) to

13.6. NetworkProcessor and GuiRTDRRpcClient not visible on taskbar


10/17/14 P/N: 6510020441 Rev 03 13-8

NetworkProcessor and GuiRTDRRpcClient are not visible on taskbar then these

processes are running in Session 0.

Observations: RAE behaves erratic, User cannot read from or write to RTDR.

Rootcause: RAE was not properly shutdown during previous shutdown/Logoff of

QCS Server.

Workaround: Open task manager and kill the NetworkProcessor.exe and

RTDRRPCClient.exe manually and then start RAE.

Prevent this issue: Whenever user wants to shutdown QCS Server, Shutdown

RAE using RAE Control Panel. If this is not possible due to malfunction, Atleast

call ShutdownRTDR.exe from Run menu.
