Applies to:

PcVue all versions.
Summary:

This article provides a workaround for broadcasting a user name and profile.
Solution:This applies to a multi-station configuration with identical projects on each PC. If you want every station to have the same user configuration, you can broadcast a user profile to other PCs.

  • Copy the USER.DAT file of the project into the C\ and CTEMP\ folders of the PcVue project on each station.
Note

You will need to log off and log in again on the other stations to refresh the user configuration, but there is no need to restart PcVue on them.

Example :

You can do this from the application by creating a batch file that is launched from a Run animation in the HMI (Animation.Run.Program).

Here is the command in a batch file (USER_COPY.BAT) to broadcast the user configuration from one station to another (station1):

copy C:\PcVue\USR\rights\C\user.dat \\station1\C\PcVue\USR\rights\C\*.*

broadcast_a_user_profile
