Quick start steps for running an application

These steps explain how to run an application.
TIP:
  • To see how an application will behave at runtime, in
    FactoryTalk View Studio
    , from the
    Application
     menu select
    Test Application
     or click the
    Test Application
     icon on the tool bar.
  • If you are using an OPC server, make sure the OPC server is set up before you run the application. See the documentation supplied by your OPC vendor for installation details.
  • For
    PanelView Plus 7
     and
    PanelView Plus 6
     terminals, the server must be installed on the runtime terminal and must be a local server. For
    Windows
     computers, OPC servers can be local or remote.
  • If your application uses a third party ActiveX control, make sure a version of the control that is compatible with the runtime operating system is installed and registered on the runtime terminal.
Step 1: Move the application to the runtime terminal or computer
If you run a
PanelView Plus 7
 or
PanelView Plus 6
 terminal, move the runtime application to the terminal using ME Transfer Utility or SD card.
If you run a
MobileView™
terminal, move the runtime application to the terminal using ME Transfer Utility or a memory stick.
If you run a personal computer, move the application through the Windows Explorer or by copying it to an electronic medium, such as a memory stick.
Step 2: Start
FactoryTalk View ME Station
The
FactoryTalk View
 ME Station
dialog box opens in Configuration Mode when you start
FactoryTalk View ME Station
.
Step 3: Load and run the application
In the
FactoryTalk View
 ME Station
dialog box, click
Load application
, select the application to load, and click
Run Application
.
TIP:
PanelView Plus 7 Standard terminals and PanelView Plus 6 Compact terminals can only load and run PanelView Plus 7 Standard applications or Compact Machine Edition applications. If you try to start a non-Compact application or a PanelView Plus 7 Performance application on a PanelView Plus 7 Standard terminal or a PanelView Plus 6 Compact terminal, an error message will appear and the application will not be loaded.
However,
PanelView Plus 7 Standard
 and
PanelView Plus 6 Compact
 applications can be loaded and run on
PanelView Plus 7 Performance
 and
PanelView Plus 6
 terminals.
