Network station applications are described in Chapter 7, Working with
network station applications. Local station applications are described in Chapter 8,
Working with local station applications.
Parts of a network distributed application
A typical FactoryTalk View SE network distributed application (also called a distributed
application) consists of:
 Areas, including nested areas, that divide the application into manageable parts or
organize it in a way that makes sense for the process it is controlling.
You can also use areas to separate servers that use the same names, for example, two
HMI servers running projects that contain the same set of graphic displays or tags.
 One or more HMI servers, that provide FactoryTalk View components and services
to application clients.
FactoryTalk View applications must contain at least one HMI server. A network
distributed application can contain up to 10 HMI servers, running on different
computers on a network, or up to 10 redundant HMI server pairs.
 HMI project components such as graphic displays, HMI tags, and data log models.
