Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View Site Edition (SE) and Machine Edition (ME) 7.0

FactoryTalk View Site Edition (SE) and Machine Edition (ME) 7.0 applications, released in early 2013, offer more efficient alarm management, simplified installation, improved user experience and integrated data sharing in a wide range of production environments.

FactoryTalk View SE 7.0 software supports a larger numbers of HMI clients and servers in a single system, increasing the size of systems that can support the FactoryTalk View SE alarming subsystem, FactoryTalk Alarms and Events.

The FactoryTalk Alarms and Events alarming subsystem has been enhanced to align with ISA’s Alarming Standard 18.2, and will now support the shelving state. The subsystem now also allows users to configure remote-alarming commands on display faceplates, saving crucial time when an operator needs to react to device alarm situations.

A network-scoped option for FactoryTalk View SE Station software allows a single-computer HMI to better integrate with products such as FactoryTalk Historian SE and ME software. Using the networked FactoryTalk View SE Station software, users will be able to browse to a FactoryTalk Historian SE server, select tags and view the historical information for those tags directly on the operator workstation.

Better device connectivity and diagnostics are available for Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 6 operator terminal applications with FactoryTalk View ME 7.0 software. PanelView Plus 6 operator stations can now connect directly to, and display data from, non-controller devices, such as smart overload relays or power monitors, saving controller memory.
