I am a relatively inexperienced user of Ignition with a project where I will be in a massive warehouse and need to have 4 HMIs running generally the same project. They can all be connected or they can all run the project individually as long as they trigger the appropriate PLCs to do the correct things. The program has been created and I can indeed toggle all the necessary things in the 4 PLCs on the project when I launch it from my computer. Now I need to be able to bring this project up on all 4 of the HMI devices using the vision client and verify that I can control the line from them.
Any advice on how to set up both the gateway and the vision client devices to be able to see the project and access it?
You need to put the gateway on your network in a dedicated machine, not in your own laptop/workstation.
( If you are running your designer in the same OS instance as your production gateway, you are screwing up. If, for anything other than Edge, you are running client sessions in the same OS instance as your production gateway, you are similarly screwing up.)
Okay so I need a dedicated machine for the gateway and then will need to direct all the vision clients to that gateway. And using one of the PC HMI devices as the device for the gateway would not work correct? For more accurate information these are Maple Systems PC HMIs running windows 10 professional.
