1 Introduction
Plantweb™ Optics
Plantweb Optics is the Emerson software application for managing asset health across the
enterprise. Plantweb Optics combines the data from multiple applications into assetcentric information, then delivers persona-based alerts and Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs) for improving the reliability of your rotating equipment, instruments, and valves.
The Plantweb Optics asset performance platform improves reliability and availability by
enhancing the visibility to the health of your assets. Experts in your facility are always
connected to assets they care about most. Through open protocols, operational data is
centralized and contextualized from disparate data sources. The data is delivered to your
experts with personalized content and dashboards. Plantweb Optics provides the
information you need in a collaborative environment to enhance your workflow and drive
corrective actions.
Plantweb Optics supports receiving data from a number of asset sources including AMS
Device Manager, AMS Machinery Manager, Emerson WirelessHART gateways, and
Plantweb Insight. In addition, Plantweb Optics interfaces with enterprise CMMS systems
and data can be read from the system via the OPC UA server.
Configuration and interaction with Plantweb Optics happen through these utilities, which
can be launched from a web browser:
• Asset Explorer—access and manage assets in your plant.
• Asset View—send, receive, and view messages in Plantweb Optics.
You can access the same messages from a mobile device by installing the Plantweb
Optics Mobile App.
• User Manager—control and monitor access to various areas of Plantweb Optics.
• Event Viewer—view system generated events.

installation that may be deployed on separate computers. Deployment depends on your
network requirements and setup.
Before you install any of the system components, plan your installation using the system
requirements, recommended system deployment scenarios, and the guidelines provided
in this chapter.

After designing and planning your system, return to Step 1
topic and continue your installation.
of the Preparing for installation
3.1 Guidelines for planning your system
Procedure
1. Determine the data that you want to bring into Plantweb Optics.
Data can be brought in by the installation of asset source interfaces (ASIs). See
18.
2. Evaluate the systems and assets that you want to integrate into Plantweb Optics.
a) Check if these systems are compatible with Plantweb Optics. See page 217.
b) Check the number of assets, databases, and parameters in the system. See
page 37.
3. Determine your network setup.
Your network setup affects the deployment of the Plantweb Optics components.
See page 19.
4. Determine any network architecture restrictions in your network.
Your network architecture affects whether you can receive messages outside of
your plant's network or not. See page 172 and page 39.
page
5. Determine your database requirements.
The Plantweb Optics database can either reside on the Plantweb Optics server
(Tier-1) or on a separate server (Tier-2). See page 29.
6. Check the system requirements and system capacity recommendations. See page
31 and page 37.
7. Check IIS requirements. See page 31.
8. Plan to integrate security certificate installation with software installation. See page
42.
9. Ensure any systems you plan to interface with Plantweb Optics are ready.
a) Before interfacing with AMS Machinery Manager databases, see page 59 for
important instructions for the system administrator.
10. Determine if you need to read data from Plantweb Optics using an OPC UA client.
There are prerequisites in Asset Explorer before installation. See page 116.

3.2 System components
Plantweb Optics must be installed on a computer with a server-class operating system.
Typically, an ASI installation consists of two parts, installation of the Web Application and
the Service. The Web Applications are recommended to be deployed on a separate server
referred to as the ASI server station.
Client stations access Plantweb Optics utilities from a web browser. They are optionally
installed with AMS Machinery Manager Launcher and AMS Device Manager Launcher.
On a mobile device, the Plantweb Optics Mobile App can be installed to enable users to
send and receive alerts from a mobile device.
Plantweb Optics is comprised of many components, described in the table below.
Tip
Follow the recommended installation and setup order on page 11.

Web Services before installing and integrating all other
system components. This is a prerequisite to all other
component installations.
Connector Service Facilitates communication between Plantweb Optics and
Data Collectors.
Proxy Provides secure communication between Data Collectors
and the Connector Service across an arbitrary number of
networks.

Important
Emerson recommends installing only the components you are licensed to use.
If you install nonessential components, it will unnecessarily use system resources.
3.3 Deployment scenarios
When determining the type of deployment, equipment, and components for your system,
Emerson recommends these guidelines for performance and scalability:
• Use recommended hardware.
• Use a separate ASI server.
• Install only the components you need.
• Use server-class operating systems.
3.3.1 Scenario 1: Two-server setup deployed on four levels
Emerson recommends using a two-server setup for best system performance and high
system capacity.
Plantweb™ Optics System Guide 19
April 2020
In this deployment, the Plantweb Optics Server is located on Level 4 and the ASI server is
located on Level 3. Note that components such as SQL Server 2017 Express, OPC UA
Server, NLINK Server, and Plantweb Optics Historian are co-deployed with Plantweb Optics
Server. However, these components can be deployed in a separate machine depending on
the overall system asset count or load. The system diagram and certificate installation
notes are shown below.

3.4 Database deployment
During installation, the system databases are configured and the user performing the
installation is set up as the SQL database administrator.
By default, the user installing the software is set up as the SQL administrator for the
EmersonCSI instance. As a best practice, immediately after installation, work with your IT
Plantweb™ Optics System Guide 29
April 2020
System GuidePlanning your system
MHM-97911, Rev 10
department to add a second SQL administrator for the EmersonCSI instance. If there is
only one administrator, and their Windows account becomes deactivated, it will not be
possible to perform maintenance or make changes to the database instance.
The two database installation choices are described in the sections below.
Tier-1 installation
In a Tier 1 installation, the databases are deployed on the same server as the software and
Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Express is automatically during installation. Tier-1 is the default
configuration and represents the typical network server system. Automatic backup
processing is available for this installation. See page 198 for more information.
• Check Windows Programs and Features to verify that Microsoft SQL Server is not
currently installed. During default installation, Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Express is
automatically installed and configured for Plantweb Optics.
Note
There is a 10 GB database limit on Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Express. Consider this
limitation when deciding your database setup.
• The EmersonCSI named instance is automatically created with the Plantweb Optics
installation when there is no existing Microsoft SQL Server installation.
• If Microsoft SQL Server is currently installed, create the EmersonCSI named instance
before beginning the Plantweb Optics installation. The user installing Plantweb Optics
should be a system administrator for the EmersonCSI named instance.
• The EmersonCSI named instance needs to be set up for mixed authentication—
Windows and SQL accounts.
• If you are manually installing SQL Server 2017 Express, make sure the account running
the SQL Server setup has rights to back up files and directories, rights to manage
auditing and security log, and rights to debug programs. See Troubleshooting.
Tier-2 installation
In a Tier 2 installation, the databases are deployed on a separate server where Microsoft
SQL Server 2017 is already installed. A Tier-2 installation requires specific server
configuration and database management by a database administrator. Automatic backup
processing is not available for this installation; the database, including backups, should be
managed by a database administrator. See page 205 for more information.
• The database must be Microsoft SQL Server 2017.
• Create the EmersonCSI named instance before beginning the Plantweb Optics
installation. The user installing Plantweb Optics should be a system administrator for
the EmersonCSI named instance.
• The EmersonCSI named instance needs to be set up for mixed authentication—
Windows and SQL accounts.
• Enable TCP/IP protocol for EmersonCSI SQL Server Network Configuration.
• Ensure the SQL Browser service is running and set it to auto-start.
