You can begin creating process databases by verifying that your SCADA servers are set up and functioning. Once you set up these computers, follow the steps.
To get started:
- Install iFIX on each SCADA server.
- Configure each server with the System Configuration Utility (SCU). Refer to the Setting up the Environment manual to learn how to enable SCADA support.
- Set up the alarm area database for each server. This database contains the alarm areas you can assign to the blocks on the SCADA server. If you want to share an alarm area database across multiple servers, change the Alarm Area path in the SCU to reference a file server before you create your process databases.
