hi,

1. Install trendserver option from connectivity package from setup, select modify option in install shield. Pls install trend server on separate PC or now in V2013 you can install trend server on PC where OPC server is installed.

2. after installation configure window popup appears, set trend server resource ID there.

3. restart machine.

4. add trend gateway in hw/project tree with same resource id set in step 2.

5. Configure OPC tunnel for DA server for same resource id set in step2&4

6. From system tray (can be called from al program/ABB Industrial IT/Freelance/OPC tunnel/system tray) start server.

7. browse OPC item list and refresh once the variable will get populated in that list.

8. Assign variable and then use it in digivis for user defined trend.

I hope didn't miss anything. But I recommend to take local abb experts support or atleast go through getting started manual or related manual to setup trend server.

I install a Trends server in Engineering station (with CBF). Digivis in ES can add variable to a new trends, and it work but other Digivis can add variable, but can't display value in new trends. :(

Check that other DigiVis having synchronised with with time master or you have correct system time synchronisation.
Second thing you check access rights to other digivis from TRN Gateway.

HI,
A step by step doc with snapshots will be extremely helpful.
I am stuck at step 4. I have inserted GWY but could not allocate the resource ID to it.
Please help.

@Qaiser : you need to add TRN gateway both place (i) in hw tree and (ii) projectree. And then assign resource in hw tree. The step by step information is available in Trend server documentation you might have received along with installation CD.
@Leanhtien :
(i)double click on CONF node in project tree and check your gateway and vis resources are connected and number of gateway and digivis resource are matching with physical harware.
(ii) Then right click on trend gateway node and select header option then click on access right button there also check for gateway connection to digivis resources are tick marked.

@Leanhtien : regarding your another question when using trend server archiving is possible so history of trend value is available.
