WinCC OA Video - Display Monitor Configurations

[Lbortolozzo]

I have a small Wincc CC OA video project connecting a few clients to a few cameras.

I am trying to get the a vimacc display monitor to automatically display some cameras when it is started up using the batch file vimaccStartDisplays.bat

The display monitor is called "TESTMONITOR" and it is running on Host "TESTHOST".

I have created a camera configuration called "start_TESTMONITOR".

This configuration should, according to the Wincc OA online help, cause TESTMONITOR to automatically display the configuration "start_TESTMONITOR" on start up. However I cannot get it to work.

However I can get it to work for video ewos.

I have also tried the configuration "start_TESTHOST_TESTMONITOR" but that didn't work either.


Can anyone help with this?

Thanks,

Hi Louis,

did the Display gets online in WinCC OA Video (state=ok)?
Please take care to set the parameter "[DeviceManager] MyControllerName" to the correct value in the according AccVimaccDisplay.conf file.

Hi Benjamin,

The display was online and I was able to add cameras to it using the video object explorer. But whenever it was restarted the widget would just show 4 grey squares.

The entry in AccVimaccDisplay.conf was as follows:

[DeviceManager]
MyControllerName=TESTHOST_TESTMONITOR

Is that correct?

I was also using 3.15 patch 007 vimacc 2.2.2.9 if that makes a difference.

Thanks,
Louis
