View ME application, the Ack control, if assigned, is

in PLC.

controller to turn on device.

controller to turn on a horn.

Remote Alarm Operation Hold Time

can change the hold time in the Advanced tab of the
Alarm Setup editor in FactoryTalk View ME software.

Security
Runtime Password Changes
In the PanelBuilder 1400e software, user passwords
are set up in the configuration mode screens.
FactoryTalk View ME software requires the Change
Password button on a display.
Display Security Settings
FactoryTalk View ME software uses a different
method to assign security to graphic displays. You
must reapply security. The software uses a logon
system of security similar to RSView32 software.
Once logged on, the operator does not need to
re-enter the password until manually logged off, or
optionally after an idle time.
