Deploy a FactoryTalk Optix Application

Rockwell Automation
 target devices automatically run
FactoryTalk Optix Applications
 upon deployment. Devices that do not have the update service installed or have the runtime application transferred manually require you to start the application manually on the device or configure the application for automatic startup.
Use
FactoryTalk Optix Studio desktop editor
 to deploy to either local or remote devices. Use
FactoryTalk Optix Studio web editor
 to deploy to remote devices only.
FactoryTalk Optix Studio
 uses
FactoryTalk Remote Access
 to deploy to remote devices.
IMPORTANT: If a
FactoryTalk Optix Application
 is already running on a target device, deploying another
FactoryTalk Optix Application
 stops and removes the other application.
