Proficy Router Conflicts

By default, Plant Applications uses port 12280, which is occasionally used by other software. This can cause communication conflicts causing the Plant Applications Server to disconnect from the Proficy Router.

About this task

The following four files must be edited on the Plant Applications Server:

  • cmConfigMgr.ini
  • cmRtr.ini
  • Message.ini
  • PlantAppsMessaging.ini

You must change the port used by Plant Applications.

Procedure

  1. On the Plant Applications Server, navigate to <drive>:\Program Files\Proficy\Proficy Server\Messaging. By default, this directory is on the C: drive.
  2. Using a text editor, open each of the INI files.
  3. Locate the following line: Protocol0_Item0 = 12280.
  4. Change 12280 to an unused port number. You must use the same port number in each of the four files.
  5. Save the file.
  6. After you update all the files, restart the Plant Applications Server.
