Appendix D - How to modify MK8000 projects
for MM8000
In Composer, MM8000 and MK8000 projects are quite different (MM8000 requires
many more system nodes and extensions than MK8000).
Given an existing MK8000 project, it is possible to make it compatible with MM8000 by
following the procedure illustrated here below. Instead, it is not possible to modify an
MM8000 Composer project for adapting it to the MK8000 OPC Server.
Modifying an MK8000 project for MM8000
The node names indicated in the following procedure refer to the default project texts
and may not exactly match the ones you can read in your project if some specific text
customisation took place. In such cases, you need to determine the corresponding
node with the customised name.
1. Set the Debug mode (see Registry scripts [➙ 50]) and then start Composer.
2. Restore the MK8000 project into a Composer system.
3. Rename the MK8000 System node into MM8000 System node.
If existing, rename other nodes in a similar way.
4. In MM8000 System > Station, the Station Name can no longer be localhost.
Instead, name it after the MM8000 PC name.
5. Rename MM8000 System > Logical Configuration > MK8000 OPC Server into
User Data.
6. In the Node tab, modify the project type from MK8000 to MM8000
(or to MM8000+MK8000). Wait for the modification procedure to complete.
7. Run the Project update command and wait for the update to complete.
8. At the very top, click the main node and add the Security structure.
9. In the new Security node, add Users, Domain, and Administrators group.
Note that the current user is automatically included in the group.
10. Also in the Security node, add Profiles, and then insert a new profile node.
Link the Administrators group to the new profile and set the Full Control permission
for it.
11. In MM8000 System > Logical Configuration > System data, add the nodes:
Journaling Services, Historian, and Client Setting.
12. In MM8000 System > Logical Configuration > User Data, add the nodes:
Scheduler and Dispatching Services.
13. Close Composer and reset the Debug mode (see Registry scripts [➙ 50]).
At this point, you can proceed in the MM8000 customisation as for any other project.
