Two NA HMI's with NX7

2 posts in this topic

Does anyone have two NA HMI's connected to a NX7 or NJ in the same project? I have two NA HMI's (front of the machine and back of the machine) and I am trying to get them into the same project. The machine builder had left both HMI's with the default name 'HMI_NA5_0'. 

I added a second HMI (new IP address) to the project and changed the default name to 'HMI_NA5_1'. I tried to go online with the second HMI but got an error saying the HMI's can't have the same name. So how do I change the name of the second HMI? I tried to change the name of the first to 'HMI_NA5_Front', doing a build, and transferring to the front HMI. When I go online again the device name is still 'HMI_NA5_0'.

There's an 'Update HMI Name...' option under the HMI drop down menu. I have no idea why I didn't see this before. I renamed the HMI names here and now I have both HMI's in the same project.
