Issue The Topology Manager Client-Server model, or Client-Server Architecture, is a distributed application framework dividing tasks between servers and clients, which either reside in the same computer system or communicate through an Ethernet network. It simplifies the automation life cycle by managing multi-controllers with a central repository for all project files and providing visibility of the entire system architecture. How do I set up a central repository to store all the system project files and manage multiple controllers? Toplogy Manager Client-Server Architecture Resolution Technically, there’s no limit to the number of clients. There’s only one installation file that installs both EcoStruxure Control Expert and the Topology Manager. Both server and client files are always installed together. The objective of this article is to offer guidelines for setting up a client-server architecture for Topology Manager.   Disclaimer The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Schneider Electric.
