Configure presentation engines

Add a native presentation engine or a web presentation engine to your project.
TIP: Each project can contain a single native presentation engine and a single web presentation engine. If your project runs on the Embedded Edge Compute Module (1756-CMEE1Y1), add a web presentation engine and delete the native presentation engine.
  1. In
    Project view
    , right-click a window object and select
    New
    .
  2. Select one of these presentation engines:
    • Native presentation engine
      . Create a native presentation engine when you are going to run
      FactoryTalk Optix
       as an application on the local device. This mode is generally used by a local user logged onto the device.
    • Web presentation engine
      . Create a web presentation engine when you are going to run
      FactoryTalk Optix
       as a service on the runtime device or as an application to interact with the system using a web client.
      FactoryTalk Optix
       as a service automatically runs the deployed application with or without a user interface. This mode is generally used when there is no local operator on the runtime device.
  3. With the presentation engine selected, in
    Properties
    , edit any properties that require modification for the presentation engine.
  4. To delete a presentation engine, right-click a presentation engine and select
    Delete
