Adding an operator station

Hello!

I've been running PV 6.1 on single computer setup on Ubuntu 22.04. Meaning that engineering station, operator station and storage are all in one. System is expanding and I'm looking for a way to add one or several operator stations. If new Ubuntu machine is placed on same subnet and should be used as operator station, how I should proceed?

Hi Mika,

Install the pwrrt package on the new operator station.

In the development configuration:

- Register a new volume for the operator station in the global volume list.
- Enter the directory volume and create a RootVolumeConfig object with the same name as the registered volume.
- Also create a NodeConfig object under the production BusConfig object and set node name and IP address.
- Create a RootVolumeLoad object under the NodeConfig object with the same name as the new volume.
- Save the directory volume and open the new volume.
- Configure the volume, and create a MountObject in the plant hierarchy that mounts the object tree in the process station. Don’t forget to configure the OpPlace object and add XttGraph objects.
- Build and distribute to the new operator stations.

You also have to distribute to and restart the process station.
