  • Patent number: 11720082
    Abstract: A SCADA web HMI system dynamically distributes server connection priority lists from web HMI servers to HMI clients in accordance with order of assignment which takes load balancing into account. As a result, preliminary settings associated with connection priority do not need to be made on the HMI clients. Also, since the server connection priority lists are assigned to the HMI clients in accordance with the order of assignment which takes load balancing into account, the numbers of clients connected to the individual web HMI servers are equalized and the load balancing can be ensured. The SCADA web HMI system can reduce the operating costs necessary in client settings while ensuring redundancy and load balancing of servers.
