 RSLinx Classic and KEPServer Enterprise must be installed and setup separately.
Add an OPC data server to the FactoryTalk View SE application, and then set up
the server’s properties. For more information, see page 9-9.
For information about installing RSLinx Enterprise or RSLinx Classic, see the
FactoryTalk View Site Edition Installation Guide.
3. Once the application can communicate with devices, determine how the application
will gain access to values in the devices. You can reference tags in a data server
directly, create HMI tags that use the devices as data sources, or use both methods.
For information about using tags in an application, see Chapter 10, Working with tags.
4. Wherever you need to obtain tag values in the application, create connections in
FactoryTalk View SE graphic displays.
For example, to let an operator read and write values for a particular tag, create an
input object in a display, and then connect the object to the tag’s name or address.
For information about supplying tag names for graphic objects, see Chapter 10,
Working with tags and Chapter 17, Creating graphic objects.
About FactoryTalk Security permissions
If FactoryTalk Security services are used to secure parts of an application, users must have
the necessary security permissions to perform certain tasks.
For example, to create or modify the properties of an application, you must at least be
allowed permissions for the Common actions Read, List Children, Write, and Create
Children, at the FactoryTalk Directory that manages the application.
If you receive a FactoryTalk Security message while trying to perform such a task, contact
your system administrator about permissions you might require.
For an overview of FactoryTalk Security services, see Chapter 5, Setting up security. For
details, see the FactoryTalk Security Help.
Adding RSLinx Enterprise data servers to an application
A FactoryTalk View SE network application can contain more than one RSLinx data
server, and you can create multiple data servers in a single area.
A local application can contain only one RSLinx Enterprise data server, which must be
located on the same computer as the application.
