integrating 800XA system with freelance system and using 800XA HMI
Hi all,
i am working on a Tie in project to for gas station. the station is running with freelance 2016 system AC800F controller.the system expansion include adding one freelance controller AC800F and one IPS controller AC800M and the final HMI will be XA system HMI for all. freelance configuration part was done successfully and adding the OXA redundant OPC server to communicate with XA system. (.ple) file was exported from freelance and imported successfully in XA system.
now the issue i have is all tags of C3 Controller (new added freelance controller) is coming on XA HMI with live data but the old C2 controller tags are showing red crosses on all tags with no data knowing that C2 is running as emulator as the plant is still running with old process and can not shutdown the plant now for system migration.
all XA HMI tags were configured in same way.
note: in XA control structure also C3 Come with live data and C2 have Red Crosses for all its Faceplates
is that happened because using emulator instead of physical controller?
thanks

I am not sure about the emulator of Freelance 2016 is working with 800xA, but I have used the emulator on version 9 and 2013 with 800xA, which is working well.
You use a redundant station type on the emulator, but the emulator isn't redundant. This could be an issue.
Have you checked the access rights configuration to the stations and OPC gateways?
- Double-click the gateways and "Access rights", check C2 have read and write.
- System --> communication configuration --> check C2 have connection to both OPC's enabled.
