The administrator can manage the HMIs in a domain by performing the following actions: Add HMI, Add Folder, Move HMI.
Add HMI:
There are three ways to add an HMI to a domain.
- Add by Session ID and Password: Use this method for HMIs with the EasyAccess 2.0 license already built in. When the HMI connects to the EasyAccess 2.0 server, a Session ID and Password will appear in the EasyAccess 2.0 Settings window (Window 76) as long as the HMI does not belong to any Domain. Use the Session ID and Password to activate the HMI in the Domain.
- Using Activation Card: Use this method for HMIs that do not have the EasyAccess 2.0 license already built in. The hardware key from the HMI and the activation code from the Activation Card are required. Once the HMI is activated, it will be able to connect to the EasyAccess 2.0 server and appear online.
- 30 days free trial: The HMI can be activated for 30 days using just the hardware key from the HMI. Note that once the HMI is activated using this method, it cannot be moved to another domain until it is activated with an Activation Card. Only then can it be transferred to another domain.
Add Folder:
Use folders to organize HMIs by territory or function. Click the Add Folder button and name the folder, then click Save to create the new folder.
Select an HMI to add to the new folder, then click the “Move” button. In the popup window, navigate to the desired folder and click the “Move here” button.
The HMI will be moved from the main directory into the new folder.
The folders are also displayed in the EasyAccess 2.0 app:
Group
Click the Group tab under Device Management to see a list of the HMI Groups in the domain.
The administrator can manage the HMI Groups in a domain by performing the following actions: Add Group, Add HMI, and Delete Group.
Add Group:
Click the Add Group button to create a new HMI Group.
Add HMI to Group:
Select a group and click the Add HMI button to add an HMI to the selected group.
Delete Group:
Click the Delete button to remove the selected group from the domain.
Permission Management
Under the Management menu, select Permission to manage permissions for Users, HMIs, and Groups.
User
On the User tab, the administrator can assign an HMI or a Group to a user. Select a user from the list and click the Add HMI or Group button.
On the HMI tab in the popup window, select the HMI to add to the selected user. Choose the permission settings for the selected HMI. Dashboard (not yet implemented as of this writing). EA2.0 allows the user to access the HMI from the EasyAccess 2.0 app. Passthrough allows the user to use the passthrough feature and access the PLC connected to the HMI via EasyAccess 2.0 (not available if EA2.0 is disabled).
HMI
On the HMI tab, the administrator can assign a user to an HMI. Select an HMI from the list and click the Add User button to add a user to the selected HMI. As with the HMI, you can choose the permission settings for the user.

Domain Setting
The Domain Setting section allows you to enable multi-user connections, enable project name update, and configure the activity report.
Multi-user Setting
On the Multi-user Setting tab, you can enable or disable multi-user connections. When enabled, up to three users can connect to a single HMI at the same time, otherwise, only one user can connect at a time.
You can check who is connected to an HMI by clicking the Occupied(n) or Connected(n) indicator for the HMI in the EasyAccess 2.0 app.
When connecting to an HMI that has already been connected, a warning message will pop up.
The warning message can be disabled in the EasyAccess 2.0 app Settings window.
Enable project name update
When Enable project name update is checked, the name of the project currently running in the HMI is periodically updated and displayed in the Device Management information window on the EasyAccess 2.0 tab.
The project name also appears in the EasyAccess 2.0 app.
Activity report
Use this option to subscribe to the EasyAccess 2.0 Activity Report. It can be scheduled to email the report daily, weekly, or monthly to the administrator’s email address. Other users on the domain can also receive the reports, if desired. The Activity Report contains information such as HMI online/offline status, account login/logout status, etc.
Top-up Card
An HMI can use data at a rate of 100 KB/s, up to a total of 3 GB of data per month. After that, the data rate drops to 5 KB/s. This is noticeably slower, as indicated by the “snail” icon in the EasyAccess 2.0 app.
If one or more HMIs regularly exceeds the data limit, a Top-up Card can be purchased to add more data to a Domain. 5 GB or 10 GB of data can be added, which is good for one year. When an HMI reaches its data limit for the month, only then will any available Top-up Data kick in to allow the HMI to continue to use the high-speed data rate.
To Load a Top up Card
If you need to add more data to a domain you can purchase a Top up Card. Follow these steps to load the top up card to the Domain.
