3.3.2.2 Process Variable Engineering File Configuration
The PServer receives the process variable engineering data via the process variable engineering file. This file is
normally loaded by the PServer at start-up. The pathname of the file to be used by the PServer can be configured as
site configuration parameter. Additionally the automatic loading at start-up can be deactivated. This can be useful during
testing and commissioning. Manual loading can be achieved by the menu command File->LoadPVs.
The property page Engineering Files allows also to configure the Server ID, which is an identification number for the
server. This number can be used in conjunction with the SERVER parameter set (see 3.3.3.4.5 SERVER Instruction) to
load only a subset of the object defined in the process variable engineering file. This simplifies engineering data
handling in systems with redundant HMI-servers in that the same engineering data can be used for both of the
redundant servers.
