Archestra License Manager

  

  1. File instalasi dari ArchestrA License Server bisa ditemukan didalam CD software Wonderware yang memakai sistem license ini, yaitu pada folder bernama “License Server”. Instalasi License dan Konfiguras i. Untuk menjalankan ArchestrA license manager bisa dipilih dari Program Wonderware ArchestrA License Server ArchestrA License Manager.
  2. The ArchestrA License Manager is included on the Wonderware CDs. It is a common component installed by all products requiring a license. When you configure the computer for remote license management, ArchestrA License Manager creates a hidden share named Wonderware$ for the Program Files Common Files ArchestrA License directory.
  3. How To Use Archestra Graphic WizardsA very powerful and useful feature added in later versions of Archestra is the layering wizard. The layering wizard feature allows you to make versatile graphic symbols fitting multiple scenarios. Some ways I have seen wizards used is to represent several types of motors in a single symbol, or analog displays.

This article offers those who master the classic InTouch R14, a step-by-step instruction on setting up communication with devices using the Modbus TCP protocol. I’ll try to explain those features of the settings that can put a novice developer in a difficult situation.

You may also be asked the “License Serial Number” for the purchased license. Paste the “Hardware Identifier” into the web form and click submit. If a valid “Hardware Identifier” has been entered, then a license “Activation Code” is returned. Solution 1: Take Control of the Service. This problem is usually related to various permissions and it can be solved by giving your personal user profile the access to the service controls.

1. Licensing
The company Klinkmann supports developers of their products, issuing full, but temporary licenses, each of which operates a little less than a month. After the expiration of this period both the development system and runtime stop working. It is required to repeatedly request and update license files.
Usually three files are issued. All of these must be installed in the ArchestrA License Manager. It looks like this:

The absence of a license or an incorrectly installed license may be the cause of the lack of communication. After installing the license, it is desirable to reboot.
2. Download and install the integration package Server DA (DASMBTCP)

Detailed configuration instructions in the video:


3. As an emulator of the MODBUS TCP operation, I usually use the product from Modbus Tools (Modbus Pool & Modbus Slave)

Immediately configure the data exchange to make sure that everything we have is working with the Modbus TCP protocol and data is being exchanged.
Attention!!!
ID is set to 255. Otherwise it will not work. Where to change this value in driver properties – yet did not find. If your Slave device has a different ID, then the working connection will not be achieved.
We disable the Modbus Pool, we do not need the port to be busy at the beginning of the connection.
4. Configure the Server DA driver (DASMBTCP)

Pay attention to the port number (for example, indicated 503)!

Here we form a common list of tags that will exchange data with the PLC

Help describes the signs that we can specify for correct data retrieval
5. Indication of parameters on video frame
We go in WindowMaker

Create an Access Name that will be associated with our topic and server

Next, create the required number of tags associated with the Access Name

Next on the video frame create a dynamic text

Linking (linking) it with the tag we need

6. Run the system Online (Runtime)
If there is no error anywhere, values similar to those in the Modbus Slave

I experimented a bit with disabling the drivers manually. I found out that when communication is lost, the values remain on the screen without changing, without giving out any indication of an error. This is certainly not suitable for the work of the industry. I will look for how to implement otherwise, for example, the replacement of values by the signs of the lattice. I will supplement this article later, when I find a solution

lservnt starts the License Manager and sets various License Manager options.

On a supported Windows system, use the following steps:

1.In the Services window, locate Sentinel RMS Development Kit License Manager and double-click it.

2.Stop the License Manager (service, if running already).

3.Set the parameter(s) in Start Parameters. For example, -s mylicensefile -l myusage.log -f mytrace.log -tr 7 will have the following result:

While starting a service manually, you can also include additional startup parameters.

To do so:

>Select the relevant service from the list of services.

>Right-click and select the Properties sub-option from the pop-up menu that appears.

Archestra License Manager

Archestra License Manager

>Type the parameters in Start parameters.

Wonderware Licensing Server

>Click Start.

However, these settings are not persistent; Windows uses them once, and then restores the default settings on next automatic service startup.

>mylicensefile will be searched by the application for the license code. Any new licenses added to the RMS License Manager will be added to this license file.

>myusage.log will be created containing all the License Manager usage information (such as, the license server start, shutdown, license request, and license release).

>mytrace.log will be created containing the License Manager trace logs. Level 7 enables the functions, keys, and errors trace logs.

NOTEThe Windows Service Controller ignores the double quotes (“ ”). So, do not use double quotes while setting options, else these will be ignored. For example, if you specify -f aa'aa, then it will be interpreted as -f aaaa.

4.Start the License Manager after providing the settings.

See the screen-shot below for an example.

Setting lservnt Options Using the Command Prompt

The following options are provided for lservnt:

OptionDescription

-H or -h

Display list of lservnt options. Displays the help for lservnt.

-X remove

Remove the License Manager service.

-X install

Install the License Manager service.

-X start

Start the License Manager service.

-X stop

Stop the License Manager service.

-X status

Get License Manager status.

-X commline

Starts the License Manager service and sets the options defined in License Manager - LSERVOPTS Environment Variable.

The Sentinel RMS License Manager Windows service (lservnt.exe) does not read startup options if specified as: <OSDrive>:Program FilesCommon FilesArchestrA>lservnt.exe -l c:SafeNet.log.

Instead, specify the option preceding -X commline. For example, the following command will start the License Manager plus set the usage log in C drive by the name SafeNet.log:

<OSDrive>:Program FilesCommon FilesArchestrA>lservnt.exe -X commline -l c:SafeNet.log
