Client-Server local variables

Hello all,

I am using WINCC 8.0 Upd 4 and configuring a Client/Server project.

The server computer is connected to the PLC

I have configured the Server project, including PLC-tags and internal tags.

I have declared a Client computer and created the package.

My client computer has it's own project, a little bit different from the Server project. I configured it as "Client" computer and import the package from the Server. I defined the Server computer as the default Server for variables.

By running Server and client, both runtimes are able to access the PLC tags, but all the internal Tags are not separated. When I change a value on a computer, the other one is updated, however all these internal Tags are defined as "Computer-local" (even if it should not be necessary in case of a separate project on the Client). System variable as "@LocalMachineName" displayed on the Client is the Server Computer name.

If I define no default Variables Server in the package, the internal Tags are really separated, but the Client can't anymore access the PLC Tags.

Could someone help me please.

Best regards

That's clear, but my problem is a little bit different.

The client project is the same project as the server one.

All internal variables are "local-computer" variables in the both projects. But I can't avoid the server variables updating without using the prefix "@local::" in the client project.

So I should rewrite my complete project and add before ALL the variables the prefix "@local::" to be sure that both Client and Server are using theyr own variables.

Is there another way to configure that?

I tried to unselect the variable Server in the "ServerData package", but the client is anymore able to acces the PLC Tags.

Best regards
