About controller instruction faceplates

Controller instruction faceplates are pre-configured graphic displays and global object displays that interact with

Studio 5000

processors. These displays contain graphic objects that display values from a

Studio 5000

processor and allow operators to interact with the processor. You can use the faceplate graphic displays as standalone displays, or copy the faceplate objects onto other graphic displays. You can also edit the objects on the faceplates. For example, you might want to add your company logo or change the colors used on the faceplates.

Adding faceplate displays to an application affects the license count. Each added faceplate display (.gfx file) counts as one display for activation purposes. The corresponding global object display (.ggfx file) does not add to the total license count.
