Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View version 10.0

Rockwell Automation has updated its HMI software to equip industrial workers with better information to run and maintain their systems. Updated features in the FactoryTalk View software version 10.0 include greater access to information, mobile device support and better cross-software integration to improve productivity.

Operators can now use the TrendPro tool in FactoryTalk View Site Edition (SE) software to overlay alarm information on trend data. This feature can help them connect alarm occurrences with data-point values to speed up troubleshooting. They can also use the tool to save and share ad hoc trends with other workers. It also adds support in the HMI for flexible alarming with the Allen-Bradley Logix line of controllers. With tag-based alarming, operators can create the alarm configuration in Logix and the HMI will process it automatically, which saves time by reducing the need for programming.

FactoryTalk View SE v10.0 also integrates the ThinManager software login into the FactoryTalk View platform. User can now use an automatic login pass-through for easy and fast operations.

For process industries, the FactoryTalk View SE software introduces an abnormal situation management (ASM) multimonitor framework. This feature allows operators to see different levels of data across multiple screens in accordance with standards-based ASM guidelines.

The updated FactoryTalk ViewPoint software, which extends the FactoryTalk View SE software to mobile devices, now supports recipe management, as well as alarm history. The FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME) software v10.0 adds design time and runtime enhancements to improve user efficiency and productivity.
