Introduction d) When the Connect button becomes active, click it to connect to the target station. When you are successfully connected to the target station, the connection status is shown in the Status box and the device specifications are shown in the Platform box. If you cannot connect to the target station, check both the connection settings and the physical network connections. In particular, make sure port 4322 is open on any firewalls between your computer and the target station. 4. Install the rest of the project runtime software on the target station: in the Remote Management dialog box, click Install runtime files .
The Only newer files option is selected by default in order to minimize the time needed to install the files. If you want to reinstall all of the files — in other words, if you want to do a "clean install" on the target station — then clear the Only newer files option before you click Install runtime files . When the installation is finished, the updated status of the target station is displayed in the Status box. Once the project runtime software is installed on the target station, you can download and run projects on it. Keep in mind that some run-time features are not supported on the Embedded target platform, which includes Embedded HMI and Compact HMI.
Most of those unsupported features are automatically disabled when you change your project's target platform from Windows to Embedded , but some are not, so if you develop a project that uses those features and then try to run it on the target station, you might see unexpected behavior and possibly even serious errors during run time. You should always be aware of the differences between runtime editions as you develop your project. For more information, see About the AVEVA Edge 2020 software components on page 12.
Also, if you develop a project that uses the database gateway to connect to an external database (including Wonderware Historian or AVEVA Insight) and then try to run that project on the target station, you might need to manually install the database gateway. For more information, see Manually install Studio Database Gateway . Page 24
