Create and then run a FactoryTalk View Client configuration

To run an application and monitor graphic displays for alarm messages, start the
FactoryTalk View Site Edition Client.

For this example, be sure that the controller is running the West_Plant_Controller
program that we created in Chapter 3, and that you have tripped the alarm (right-
click the rung contact and then click Toggle Bit).

1. On the Windows Start menu, click Start point to All Programs > Rockwell

Software > FactoryTalk View and then click FactoryTalk View Site Edition
Client
to open the FactoryTalk View SE Client Wizard.

2. In the FactoryTalk View SE Client Wizard, click New.
