Dist-Management

Configuring and maintaining a distributed system in WinCC OA requires a high amount of engineering effort due to a high number of settings and configuration steps that must be applied on several systems. The Dist-Management reduces the engineering effort and simplifies the necessary settings.

The Dist-Management is based on a master - client architecture and therefore one system must be specified as master system. The master system is the only system that may modify the configuration of the distributed system. The changes made on the master system are synchronized to the client systems.

The configuration on the client systems will be overwritten with the master configuration!

Following data can be synchronized:

• Alert classes: All data points of the internal data point type _AlertClass are synchronized. Data points with the same name will be overwritten on the client.
• DP - groups: Public data points of the internal data point type _DpGroup.
• Alertscreen configuration: Public original values of all data points of the internal data point type _AESConfig, _AEScreen, _AESProperties_*.
• Trend configuration: All public data points of the internal data point type _VarTrend.
• UserDefined DpGroup: During the synchronization the missing assigned data points will be created on the client and the original values of the assigned data points will be set.
• User, Groups, Areas: All original values of the data points _Users, Groups, _Areas.
