How to configure Auto-Start for AVEVA InTouch applications and automatic logon in Microsoft Windows

SUMMARY

This Tech Note describes a procedure for configuring automatic logon for InTouch application and in Windows.

APPLIES TO

• AVEVA InTouch HMI

PROCEDURE

Configuring Automatic InTouch Application Startup

1. Start the InTouch HMI Application Manager, select the Application you would like to start automatically and from the Tools menu select Node Properties.

2. On the Node Properties window, place a check in the “Start WindowViewer as a service” checkbox.

3. Set up your OI-Server(s) to “Auto start after reboot”.

4. Ensure the connection between InTouch and OI-Server

To ensure InTouch keeps trying to establish connection with the I/O server, open InTouch WindowMaker for the application and go to Special | Configure | WindowViewer

Change the ‘Retry Initiates’ setting from 0 to 5 sec (for example) on the ‘WindowViewer Properties’ screen. This setting means that should the connection between InTouch and the I/O server go down, InTouch will try re-connecting to I/O Server every 5 seconds.

5. Reboot the computer and the application will startup automatically.
