CHMI Connectivity Server

Hello,

I had a running SCADA with no problem using CHMI and AC500.

There was an electricity cut off which disconnected the SCADA and it is disconnected until now.

I tried to use Metrikon explorer and I can see the OPC server and the tags with no problem but the SCADA is not. When I open plant explorer and press browse on one of the signals an error message saying that "Cannot connect to connectivity server" therefore I can't find my OPC server, the same happens when I try to edit the driver.

I read that I need to check if the deployment is allowed, how can I do that?

Is there a solution for this without reinstalling CHMI?

Is it logical that cutting of the electricity on the PC would cause such a problem in the connectivity server?

Thanks,
Osama Ayoub

Hi,

A few proposals to check:

- configuration wizard -> check if server is running and if the system is running
- check if ABB OPC Server is connected to the controller(s) - yellow smile faces
- check in service structure or node administration structure if all the services are working corectly (is a service)

There is one service that is not working and gives an Error which is OpcDA_Connector
status 0x8abb1440

Exactly. That is why you don't have connection with the controllers. Try to restart

without to make that service running, you can't view the tags in CHMI. Try to restart the service, not the PC. If no success, you have to look for the reason. I can't help you remotely, you have to check many items. It could be something broken from last power off of the station?

Thank you for the help but is there any software/place to reset or monitor the connectivity server status? I believe that my main issue is that something wrong with it.
