PM-SERVER Configuration

The PM-SERVER communicates with the other components. In order for the PM-AGENT to serve as an interface and PM-ANALYZE to provide data, the PM-SERVER must be configured.

Note: The PM-SERVER has own archives and the values are saved there. The current value is saved in Tags online archive and all values in the Tag archives as well as all alerts in the Alarm archives.

If you are using an older PM Add-ons version or having troubles with the connection/communication, add the following registry entries: By using these entries, the current TLS version is automatically used:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319:

Table 1. Registry entries
SystemDefaultTlsVersions	SchUseStrongCrypto
Type = DWORD Value = 1	Type = DWORD Value = 1

Select a PM Agent Station and enter the name for the station.

Select the settings such as System Type:Local System etc. according to your needs.
Click on Next and you can select WinCC OA as the target runtime here. Selecting WinCC OA means that the port is already set correctly for the PM-AGENT in WinCC OA (default HTTPS port):
