Are you experiencing problem logon into EcoStruxure Process Expert System Server? Are you forgot the password? Or you want to set up another user name? If your server or workstation is managed and connected to domain controller then simply ask your domain administrator to re-set your password or give your account access to the roles of “ESX HDCS System Admin”. However, if the server or workstation is managed by your-self running on Physical Machine or Virtual Machine (VM) then this document will guide you how to regain your access to EcoStruxure Process Expert System Server in above case. There are some workarounds to resolve this problem. This document will explain all possible workarounds and considerations you need to take before determining the method suits your case.

How to Enable Native Citect Scada OPC DA Server on EcoStruxure Process Expert? In EcoStruxure Process Expert 2019 (former HDCS) and previous versions the communication between the supervision participant Citect Scada and Modicon PAC controllers are handle by OFS – OPC Factory Server. The OFS is an OPC DA Server which is installed in the same server as the EPE operation server(s). Whenever a third-party software needs to collect data from EPE it can be done by connecting to OFS Server in either primary or standby operation server. This solution using OFS Server as an unique OPC DA Server to interface with other system works fine but some customers standard or customers best practice doesn’t allow other systems to collect data direct from the controllers. These customers prefer third-party software collecting data from the supervision servers. Another motivating force to have an OPC DA server enabled on supervision participant is that some projects could have calculate variables on supervision which does not exist on control project...

Issue Using Modbus serial communication with third-party equipment requires complex logic to manage priorities and diagnostics. Resolution The General Purpose library (GPL) has powerful functions and only needs a simple configuration for the implementation of this communication. This document shows the implementation of a serial Modbus client and scanner communication, in EcoStruxure Process Expert. The GPL library is also available for EcoStruxure Control expert as a standalone library and the two examples described can be easily reused on this software platform.

Resolution EcoStruxure Process Expert and the MMM library allow to realize these functions and the associated supervision by simple parameterization. The document presents the functional description of an MMM process managing conveyor belts, valves and tanks and how to develop the system with a group control function used to start and stop the assets in sequence.
