Create a Machine Edition application

You can create a
FactoryTalk View ME
 application when you start
FactoryTalk View Studio
 or when
FactoryTalk View Studio
 is open.
To create a Machine Edition application
  1. If
    FactoryTalk View Studio
     is not started, start
    FactoryTalk View Studio
    .
  2. If
    FactoryTalk View Studio
     is started, from the
    File
     menu, select
    New Application
     or click the
    New Application
    tool. If an application is already open,
    FactoryTalk View Studio
     asks you whether to close the application. Click
    Yes
    .
  3. On the
    New
    tab of the
    New/Open Machine Edition Application
     dialog box, enter a name for the application in the
    Application Name
     box.
  4. (Optional) Enter a description for the application. You can also modify the description in the application
    Properties
    dialog box after the application is created.
  5. Select a language for the application. You can add more languages in the
    Language Configuration
     dialog box after the application is created.
  6. Select a resolution for the application. You can modify the resolution in the
    Project Settings
     editor after the application is created.
  7. Click
    Create
    .
FactoryTalk View Studio
 creates the application’s folders and files and then shows the new application in the Explorer window. The system automatically creates a display called
MAIN
 and sets the initial graphic to
Main
.
By default, the application files are stored in:
\Users\Public\Public Documents\RSView Enterprise\ME\HMI projects\<ApplicationName>
The application file is given the extension .med.
You have the option to customize the location using the HMI Projects Folder Path Config Utility.
To customize the HMI projects folder
  1. Open the HMI Projects Folder Path Config Utility.
    TIP:
    You can find the utility from the Start menu or in C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockwell Software\RSView Enterprise.
    Make sure that the HMI project is not in use by
    FactoryTalk View Studio
     or
    FactoryTalk View ME Station
    .
  2. Specify a new folder to store the HMI projects.
  3. Select
    Apply
    .
  4. Restart the HMI server computer.
