FactoryTalk® View Machine Edition 6.0Versatile Machine-Level HMI for Stand-Alone Applications

FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME) software is a versatile HMI application that provides a dedicated and powerful solution for machine-level operator interface devices. As an integral element of the Rockwell Automation visualization solution, FactoryTalk View Machine Edition provides superior graphics, run-time language switching and faster commissioning time through a common development environment.

FactoryTalk View Machine Edition 6.0 adds new features that speed development time by up to 30 percent, while enhancing the functionality and impact of HMI applications for machine-level, PC-based operator interface solutions. These new features include:

effective and compelling displays, in less time.

Features and BenefitsFactoryTalk View Machine Edition offers OEMs and end-users features that reduce development and commissioning time, while improving

retaining the plant-wide scalability.

Reduce design and commissioning time with:

Directory

Built-in Faceplates and Add-On Instructions

and capability through:

View ME can write data logs that are accessible via FTP on an Ethernet

.csv files can be stored on the local PC or PanelView and used to modify values in the controller for recipe changes and/or machine set-up. These recipes can be downloaded to the local terminal via an Ethernet network, as well.

Runtime language switching

character ranges, meaning that multiple-language implementations can be accomplished more easily, without cumbersome font-linking.

Configure and Monitor Alarm Conditions

The FactoryTalk View alarm system quickly alerts you and your operators to conditions requiring immediate

alarm conditions. When an alarm condition occurs during runtime, the system can pop up a predefined display, sound an alarm signal, or send the alarm to a printer. Alarm system features include:

Word alarm triggers based on analog tags, digital tags,
