In concept this is no different than in you are just expanding your plant to contain a second set of OS servers which your existing clients need to access. The rules from this page still apply as always. In practice this is going to be more complicated. I don't know of any manuals that outlines this kind of engineering practice. Things to consider: Then you just need to merge the MP together by using the MP project adjust projects right click options to export and import the individual projects and re-merge all Ethernet and other connections once you get them all in the same MP. <-- **This is the hard part.** The amount of steps varies a lot based on complexity of your project. Hint, when it asks to remove references from existing MP, select NO (or you can rebuild all your links again, which might work better depending on what you're doing). Once you are all merged, you'll have to assign multiple sets of server data to your clients and consider and OS project editor layout changes do you can navigate to the other server from the top bar. |

Hi RVS.wick Thanks for this information. I've started to merge these together. Firstly in wincc Explorer, Under server data, selecting to load in a new server pck file from the additional servers. This has given me access to all the tags/data needed. if I remote login in to one of the servers I can see the new data and tags created in the graphics designer. the problem I now have is this information is not being passed to the clients. For example the MonAnl Block Icon is visible on the clients but is hashed out, when looking at the servers it is Ok, I have tried assigning the pck files to the clients via simatic manager. To no avail, any thoughts or help on this, Thanks Grif |

It sounds like you have a problem with server prefix. Did you do the full MP method or WinCC only? If you didn't combine the MP's together you can follow this FAQ, which I forgot about before. https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/67261722/ |
