    NOTE

    Incorrect registration entries

    If PCU Retrofit was started in the service mode, then HMI-Advanced must be started using administrator rights, as otherwise additional, incorrect registration entries will be generated for the SInInt client.

    If incorrect registration entries were generated, each content that starts with "ePS Network" must be deleted.

Restrictions for active sessions:

If you work in HMI Advanced while a session is active, and you navigate back to the session window "Manage MyMachines /Remote Service Client" via the softkey that was created, in some cases, a gray window opens.

  • If you see a gray window, click in the window at a location at which an element should be available. The window is then re-displayed.

  • If you cannot use the mouse on the machine operator page, then press "F1" (Help).
