Add a Display subobject

FactoryTalk View
objects have subobjects that represent the display types configured. A
FactoryTalk View
graphic display represents a run-time operator’s view of plant activity. A graphic display can show system or process data, and provide an operator with ways to write values to external devices such as programmable controllers.
