DeltaV Graphics Hanging Issue

We have expanded the existing plant. So, the old graphics still is present in the system and the new graphics is used now. But, in the new graphics we are facing an issue. Sometimes, the graphics takes too much time to navigate from one graphics to another, which is intolerable. We need an immediate solution, as it frustrates our process. We have seen some errors popping up, such as "Your Computer Runs out of memory" and the RAM is consumed almost around 90% all the time. Our version of DeltaV is 10.3.

    Also: how many graphics do you have specified in memory?

  • Did you do a data source check with the dumpdatasource utility as described in KBA AP-0800-0053? If you find issues this KBA also describes how to rectify them. Wrong datasources have a significant impact on the performance of DeltaV operate.
  • You can delete the graphics if they are not used anywhere or in future they are not used .
  • Hi
    Recomend to turn of picture caching. It is normaly on and cache is 5 HMI's. If only a few HMI's causes the "Your Computer Runs out of memory" you can try to disable the cach for these HMI's only. The down side is that with no cach, reasently opened HMI will not open faster than the first time it was open...
