zenon Smart Server

This page is a simple example of how web access to a Service Engine system can be set up using zenon Smart Server.

System Requirements

The zenon Smart Client can be used by all browsers on Windows Systems.

Info: The zenon Smart Client has to be of the same version (e.g. 10) as the Service Engine server.

In order for the zenon Smart Client to be able to make a connection to the Service Engine server, some configuration parameters (version info, project name, name of the zenon Smart Server PC, name of the Service Engine server PC) must be amended in the configuration file on the web server (\config\global_vars.js). You can edit this file with a standard text editor (Notepad).

You can find more detailed information on setup in the zenon documentation in the 'Smart Server' chapter.
