DeltaV Workstation Configuration Procedure

How to configure a new station of Emerson DeltaV workstation.  

Step by Step

    1.    Create Operation Station from DeltaV Explore; Select Operator Workstation and give it a name like E2801-EWS in our case.

    2.    IP shall be assigned automatically by the Proplus to this new station.

    3.    10.4.4.118 has been assigned for this node in our case.

    4.    Note the DNS for primary & secondary server network 10.4.0.6 & 10.4.0.30

    5.    Next is Go to File; then Export Workstation Configuration having .cfg extension (7kb file size in our case).

    6.    Save As DevData.cfg on desktop;

    7.    Power up the machine to be used as a new station; Assign its IP from LAN settings like 10.4.4.118 by Selecting the Primary Deltav LAN setting.

    8.    Change Computer name: The computer name should be the same as the name you have provided for the node in DeltaV Explore during configuration in Step-01. By default the workgroup has been assigned to it; change it to Domain and give the domain name.

    9.    Start DeltaV workstation configuration from this station.

    10. From another node; assign a license to this station; in our case, we have assigned an Engineering Workstation license to this node.

    11. Reboot and give time for the network to get this node as a ready node on the network.

    12. Get the Graphics.ifix folder from Proplus and place it in this workstation at:

                 ThisPC/DvData/DeltaV/DVData/Graphics-iFix.

     Note: Auto-update control service is to be off during this activity; it shall remain off in the commissioning phase; it is to be enabled once all commissioning activities are completed and no further update is expected; the plant is in normal running condition.

    Note: From the Database Administrator you can also do the Database Clean activity – not recommended during plant running conditions as it can impact the overrides/bypasses.
