Defining a Station
PlantScape Server and Client Configuration Guide 19
Defining a Station
Stations are your “window” into the server databases. They are your means for
accessing and controlling plant and process data.
This topic shows you how to:
• Create a Station item to represent the Station running on the server
• View the properties for the server Station item
• Create a Station item to represent a LAN Rotary Station (that is, a computer
that is running Station and is connected to the PlantScape server via a LAN)
For information on the difference between a LAN Rotary Station and a LAN Static
Station, see “Connection Types” on page 58
