UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. |
A profile stores runtime parameter settings that are specific to a particular type of computer within a Plant SCADA system (for example, a client or server). These settings are stored in a "<profile_name>.ini" file that can be distributed to any computer where a project is deployed.
To add a profile:
-
In the Topology activity, select Profiles.
-
On the Command Bar, click the Add/Edit Profile button. This launches the Profile Wizard.
You can use the Deployment activity to distribute Profile.ini files to the computers in a Plant SCADA system (see Deployment Computers).
To use an INI file you create with the Profile Wizard, either select it locally on a computer using the Computer Setup Wizard, or use the deployment feature.
The Plant SCADA Example Project includes three profiles that you can select from the Profile Setup page in the Setup Wizard. Once you have selected the profile you would like, you can compile and run the Example project.
