Bit Array Data Types

Remote Alarm Control Delay Time

When an alarm is acknowledged in the FactoryTalk
View ME application, the Ack control, if assigned, is
set immediately, without waiting for a delay time.

Update the ladder logic to implement a delay timer
in PLC.

controller to turn on device.

The terminal does not have audio. Use the PLC
controller to turn on a horn.

controller to turn on device.

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.
