CENTUM VP Server for Remote Operation and Monitoring Function can be executed from the remote computers
for plant operation and monitoring. By using the terminal service (TS) server of the Windows Server, the Server
for Remote Operation and Monitoring Function allows multiple computers which are connected with one server
simultaneously operating and monitoring in the TS server. If a computer is located away from the instrument room,
as long as the computer is connected to the HIS terminal service server through the network, the operation and
monitoring view on the HIS can be displayed on the remote computer. The remote computer does not need to have
the operation and monitoring applications.
nFUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
l System Conguration
The Server for Remote Operation and Monitoring Function runs on a in Windows Server OS, allowing it to be a server
for remote-access operation and monitoring. If user names are entered and logged on from a network client computer
connected to the server for remote operation and monitoring, the functions running on the server for remote operation
and monitoring can be used on the client computer.

Figure Example of Conguration of Server for Remote Operation and Monitoring Function
A maximum of eight simultaneous sessions (a session stands for a logic connection to the server for remote operation
and monitoring function started from logon and ended at logo) can be run on one server for remote operation and
monitoring.
The client computer displays screens by the session regardless of the screens displayed on the remote operation and
monitoring server or other clients. It may take a few seconds for the client computer to display the session screens
depending on the network speed. In addition, use of this remote operation and monitoring function is not suitable for
continuous operation because the session between the server and the client computer may be disconnected. Alarm
notications and display updating stop during this period.
When using the Server for Remote Operation and Monitoring Function, please set up one or more standard HIS along
with the client computer on the control network. The standard HIS has better reliability for real-time operations than
the client computer.

lFunctions Available for Remote Operation and Monitoring
The functions running on the server for remote operation and monitoring can be used on the client computer.
Standard engineering functions realize engineering with a remote computer using the TS functions directly. In this
case, the standard engineering function can connect only one session apart from eight sessions for operation and
monitoring.
System views on multiple computers, including the server for remote operation and monitoring, cannot be started
simultaneously. However, if reference builders are called up in reference mode, screens can be displayed on multiple
computers.

HIS provides two operation screen modes, full-screen mode and window mode. In each mode, HIS displays views
such as the Graphic View or the Trend View. Moreover, a remote HIS terminal connected through the Server for
Remote Operation and Monitoring Function package also has two display modes.
Operation Screen Mode
• Full-Screen Mode
In this mode, HIS displays a frame that consists of several views assigned for a certain function or purpose. On a
standard HIS, a number of tabbed frames can be displayed and overlapped in full-screen mode. However, on a
remote HIS terminal connected through the Server for Remote Operation and Monitoring Function package, only a
xed frame can be displayed. In this mode, a Pop-Up Window such as a Faceplate View can be displayed in front of
the frame.
• Window Mode
In this mode, several windows can be displayed in cascade style of Microsoft Windows so that the windows are
overlapped. Each window contains only one view.
Display Mode
On a remote HIS terminal connected through the Server for Remote Operation and Monitoring Function package,
the display mode can be either desktop mode or panel mode. The mode can be selected when the client computer is
connecting to the server for the remote operation and monitoring services.
• Desktop Mode
In desktop mode, the operation and monitoring activities on a remote HIS can be carried out in the same style as on
a standard HIS where the System Message Banner is displayed on the top and the Browser Bar is displayed on the
left.
• Panel Mode
In panel mode, a designated view such as Graphic View or Trend View can be displayed on desktop. The System
Message Banner and the Browser Bar are not displayed. The session can be established much faster than it is in
the desktop mode.

Figure Panel Mode HIS Window Display in Full-Screen
Maximum Number of Windows
Maximum number of windows can be displayed on a client computer varies according to the HIS operation screen
mode and the display mode dened in the Server for Remote Operation and Monitoring Function package.
The update period for windows displayed on a client computer can be specied in seconds (1 to 30 seconds). This is
commonly set during each client session logged onto the server for remote operation and monitoring.
lSecurity System
The Server for Remote Operation and Monitoring Function can be run in an independent operation and monitoring
security system for each client computer by logging on using dierent user names. The security system for remote
monitoring can be restricted.
lOperating Record
Operating messages generated at terminal equipment identify the client computer.
lBuzzer
A client computer can issue a buzzer via a sound device. In the panel mode, because buzzer reset key is not
displayed, buzzer output is restricted compared with the desktop mode as follows:

l Automatic Log-o
If there are no operations carried out at a client computer within a specied period of time, automatic log-o occurs.
This is commonly set during each client session logged onto the server for remote operation and monitoring. The
inactive period for automatic log-o can be set in minutes (1 to 59 minutes). Automatic log-o can be disabled.
l Functional Dierence between the Server for Remote Operation and Monitoring Function and
the Standard HIS
Below is functional dierence between the Server for Remote Operation and Monitoring Function and the standard
HIS.
• A sound function is required on the client computer in order to use a buzzer with the remote operation and
monitoring function server.
• The operation and monitoring range on a remote HIS terminal can be dened by the settings on the User Security
Builder. The operation and monitoring range on a standard HIS is the range that is permitted by both the settings on
HIS Constants Builder dened for each HIS and the settings on the User Security Builder dened for each user. The
security settings on HIS Constants Builder dened for each HIS are not valid for the remote HIS terminal, only the
settings on the User Security Builder are valid.
• When restricting the range of operation and monitoring of a user according to the security seetings for the user, the
alarm and operator guide messages can be inhibited but not the corresponding buzzer sounds. The buzzer sound
of a message will be triggered anyway as long as an alarm or an operator guide message occurs even though the
message is inhibited by security settings. Therefore, when applying user security settings to restrict user’s operation
and monitoring range, it is necessary to turn o the buzzer of the client computer.
• Operation keyboards cannot be used on the client computer.
• Up to 50 simultaneous primitives of the trend can be displayed in the client computer.
Displaying the Graphic Window to which a number of primitive trends are allocated in several sessions might not
display some primitive trends.
• The function automatically printing messages such as the process alarm is not equipped.
The print function from the historical report window and the process data window and the hard copy button are
