Install an Industrial Graphics Server

Note: AVEVA Industrial Graphics is now deprecated within Plant SCADA and future releases. It will no longer be supported or maintained in future versions, monthly updates or security updates. AVEVA recommends customers cease using AVEVA Industrial Graphics within Plant SCADA runtime systems and decommission any Plant SCADA Industrial Graphics web servers from production and engineering systems. See AVEVA™ Industrial Graphics for more information.

An AVEVA™ Industrial Graphics Server distributes HTML5 graphics to desktop and mobile browsers. It authenticates clients details and provides access to the graphical and functional content created using the Plant SCADA Industrial Graphics Editor.

Note: With this release of Plant SCADA, the Industrial Graphics Server has a number of functionality limitations. For example, it does not support alarms. For a full list of limitations, see Industrial Graphics Server Functionality Limitations.

When you choose to install an Industrial Graphics Server, the following components are selected by default:

• Plant SCADA Industrial Graphics Server

• Plant SCADA Deployment Client.

The Deployment Client is required as Plant SCADA's Deployment functionality is used to deliver projects to the Industrial Graphics Server.

Note:
• For runtime operation, it is recommended that you install an Industrial Graphics Server on a dedicated computer especially if it will be required to handle a large number of client requests.
• If you would like to review an Industrial Graphics application locally during development, you also need to have an Industrial Graphics Server installed locally on the development workstation.

Licensing for AVEVA Industrial Graphics is managed using the AVEVA Enterprise Licensing system, which means you may also need to install the Enterprise Licensing Server and/or the Enterprise Licensing Manager. For more information, see AVEVA™ Enterprise Licensing.

If required, you can display the Industrial Graphics Web Client locally on the Industrial Graphics Server using the following address in a browser:

• https://localhost/aig

Be aware, however, that the connected System Management Server may be configured to use a non-default port (see Advanced Configuration for a System Management Server). This changes the port the AIG server uses to listen, which means you need to include the current HTTPS Port setting in the address as follows:

• https://localhost:<HTTPS Port value>/aig

  Note: If the Plant SCADA compiler determines that your SCADA system tag names are not globally unique across all clusters, any tag subscriptions that do not specify a specific cluster will be rejected by the Industrial Graphics Server. If this occurs, you can use the parameter [General]EnforceTagGlobalUniqueness to diagnose which tags are not globally unique.
