In a redundant network distributed application, changes made at the primary HMI
server can be replicated to the secondary server.
 Create a complete alarm monitoring system that includes FactoryTalk Alarms and
Events and HMI tag alarms.
Using FactoryTalk Alarms and Events services, FactoryTalk View SE applications can
subscribe to and display device-based alarms, programmed directly into Logix5000
controllers.
 Customize alarm summaries and banners to provide specific alarm data, rather than
displaying alarms for the entire system.
 Create global objects in global object displays, and use copies of these objects
throughout an application. When you modify the original object, all linked copies are
also updated.
 Dock selected displays to an edge of the FactoryTalk View SE Client window so they
can be viewed in a fixed position, at all times.
 Use the FactoryTalk View SE Client Object Model and VBA to extend the
capabilities of FactoryTalk View SE, and to share and interoperate with Windows
programs such as Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Excel.
 Create trends that show process variables plotted against time. FactoryTalk View SE
trends can display real-time or historical data, with up to 100 pens (tags) in each trend.
 Log data simultaneously to the FactoryTalk Diagnostics log and to remote ODBC
(Open Database Connectivity) databases to provide various records of production
data.
Quick start: setting up the software you need
The design of the automation and control system you plan to deploy will determine which
FactoryTalk View SE software components to install and set up on network computers.
Where you install the software also depends on the type of application.
FactoryTalk View Studio Enterprise is the configuration software for developing and
testing FactoryTalk View SE network distributed, network station, local station, and
FactoryTalk View ME applications. The available applications are shown below.
