FactoryTalk View Machine Edition
FactoryTalk® View Machine Edition (ME) is a machine-level HMI software for machines and small processes. FactoryTalk View Machine Edition allows for a consistent operator interface across multiple platforms, including Microsoft® Windows® CE and Windows desktop solutions.
- FactoryTalk View Studio: Configuration software for developing and testing HMI applications.
- FactoryTalk View ME Station: A traditional "stand-alone" HMI solution that packages a server and client for use on a PanelView Plus, PanelView Plus CE, Rockwell Automation Industrial Computers, or other industrial computer running a supporting Microsoft Windows operation system.
FactoryTalk View Machine Edition offers you:
- Component-based Architecture
FactoryTalk View bridges the gap between machine-level and supervisory-level systems to give users a more efficient, productive, and cost-efficient solution at all levels of the enterprise. Designed for scalability and integration between machine and supervisory levels, Enterprise products are designed with a common look, feel, and navigation to speed development and training time while reducing your total cost of ownership.
- Single-Tag Creation
Maximize productivity by directly accessing tag information in the controller. Define tags once in the controller and reference them while you design your HMI system. Eliminate the step of importing tags from the controller.
- Connectivity
Preferred connectivity to Rockwell Automation products, such as ControlLogix®, MicroLogix™, PLC-5®, and SLC™ 500 controllers. Networks supported include Ethernet, ControlNet, DeviceNet, DH+, DF1, and DH-485. All FactoryTalk View Machine Edition runtime platforms also include Kepserver Enterprise to support a wide variety of third-party programmable controllers and devices.
