Beyond Getting Started
Faceplate/Add-On Instruction Sets
Adding a device, like a PowerFlex drive, into a Logix controller project has always provided ready-to-use tags. Now Faceplate/AOI sets make use of these tags with code for your controller and graphics for your HMI. Simply download a Faceplate/AOI set from the library, then install and configure it for your application using the straightforward instructions included in the download. By implementing these pre-programmed, pre-tested Faceplate/AOI sets for devices such as drives, networks, and I/O modules, the user can configure, commission and operate devices without the need to write a single line of code. The faceplates also include many diagnostic functions to assist the maintenance and troubleshooting of your system. Faceplate/AOI sets bring the power of the Integrated Architecture to your system quickly and easily.
Download the Faceplate/AOI sets for FactoryTalk View ME and SE at the Sample Code Library Web site by selecting "AOI" or "Faceplates" under Technologies & Functionalities or click here, Faceplates/AOI Sets.
Here are just some of the Faceplate/AOI sets available:
- PowerFlex Drives
