Allow Browser Caching of Adobe Flash Player

This setting will be particularly helpful once the panel database is stable. This allows the Field Panel Web Server to keep information about the panel database without needing to continuously read it from the panel.

1.Right click while in a browser and accessing the Field Panel Web Server.

2.Click Settings.

3.In the Adobe Flash Player Settings window, open the folder (icon) tab.

4.Choose a local storage setting appropriate to the system being used.

Distribute Points from a Particular Panel among Several Graphics

Loading a graphic with a large number of points from a single panel may degrade the performance of the panel and will cause it to take longer to load and report changes of values (COVs). Particularly, the loading of a graphic with points from a TC Compact 16 or 24, or their associated FLN devices, will occur more slowly, since these panels use a slower processor with lower memory.

To improve performance when loading graphics, distribute the points from the panel among several different graphics files.

Use Device Template Graphics for Viewing FLN Device Points on a

Graphic

For information about creating Device Template graphics (also called relativizing), see the Create Device Templates section.

Limit Open Tabs to Six

In the Siemens FINlite graphics utility program and in the Web Server user interface, limit the total number of tabs that are open simultaneously to six (6). This means that any combination of tabs displaying editors or graphics files should not exceed six tabs.
