Seeking assistance with the installation of the Yokogawa CENTUM VP system
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: 1. Is there any difference in installing the CENTUM software on the engineer station and the operator station when setting up a CENTUM VP system? I know that the authorization assignments for the engineer station and the operator station are different; are the settings made during installation the same in both cases? Can I use a machine that already has the CENTUM VP software installed to create a GHOST system image, which can then be used to reinstall other operator stations and engineer stations, by simply changing the machine names and IP addresses (with the network card’s jumpers already set)? 2. How to implement a dual-screen setup for the operation station of the CENTUM VP system?
The installation disc is the same; during installation, it automatically installs what is required based on your authorization
1. The software for the engineer station is the same as that for the operator station; only the assigned permissions differ. Your way of ghosting is workable. 2. The Yokogawa dual-screen requires the LHS4600-s11 software package for support (license)
1. The engineer station and operation stations have software installed based on their authorization levels; it’s possible to use GHOST to copy data between operator stations, and the authorization files can be replaced afterward. I haven’t tried using GHOST on operator stations to restore data on engineer stations. 2. For dual-screen display, one can purchase Yokogawa’s software package (it seems to support R5 as the minimum requirement), or it’s not necessary to buy anything – as long as the graphics card supports dual screens, or there are appropriate dual-screen software solutions available
Thank you all. One more question: for dual-screen authorization, how should it be set up in practice? Is it enough to simply change the monitor settings to dual-screen mode? Are there any other settings that need to be configured separately in Yokogawa Software?
I don’t have dual-screen authorization here; it’s only dual-screen display, and I need to change the display mode to window mode in the .sh file
Thank you. With dual-screen authorization, you just need to set the monitor to dual-screen mode; no separate settings are required in the software
It’s best to ghost each machine, as there are some common elements in each HIS that differ from one another
