Allen-Bradley HMI Design and Linking With Logic Program File.

LAB
Objective:
1. To design an AB PanelView Plus 600 HMI Screen with FactoryTalk View Machine
Edition Software.
2. To program HMI buttons in order to perform according to logic program file through RS
linking.
3. To download FactoryTalk View design program to PanelView Plus 600.
4. To create a backup file and restore it.
Theory:
FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME) is a machine-level HMI software for machines and
small processes. FactoryTalk View Machine Edition allows for a consistent operator interface
across multiple platforms, including Microsoft Windows CE, XP and Vista solutions.
FactoryTalk View Studio: Configuration software for developing and testing HMI
applications.
FactoryTalk View ME Station: A traditional "stand-alone" HMI solution that packages

a server and client for use on a PanelView Plus, PanelView Plus CE, Rockwell
Automation Industrial Computers, or other industrial computer running a supporting
Microsoft Windows operation system.
FactoryTalk View Studio:

FactoryTalk View Studio allows users to create applications in a single design environment.
FactoryTalk View Studio supports editing and reusing projects for improved portability between
embedded machine and supervisory HMI systems. With FactoryTalk View, all software products
in the suite are built on the same integrated, scalable architecture. Application developers can
2
import entire machine-level applications into supervisory-level applications or drag individual

components and drop them right into supervisory projects, saving development time and
reducing engineering and training costs.
Users also can import PanelBuilder32 (PanelView) applications into FactoryTalk View Machine
Edition and RSView32 applications into FactoryTalk View Site Edition, protecting their current
HMI investments.
With FactoryTalk View Studio, one can:
Configure a single operator station or configure an entire distributed application from one
location
Access tags from OPC servers throughout the system via a tag browser that presents
direct PLC tags and HMI tags in a logical hierarchy
Remotely configure RSLinx and FactoryTalk View Site Edition servers.
Create displays using a full-featured graphics editor.
FactoryTalk View ME Station:

FactoryTalk View Machine Edition offers users the following advantages:
Component-based Architecture
FactoryTalk View bridges the gap between machine-level and supervisory-level systems
to give users a more efficient, productive, and cost-efficient solution at all levels of the
enterprise. Designed for scalability and integration between machine and supervisory
levels, Enterprise products are designed with a common look, feel, and navigation to
speed development and training time while reducing the total cost of ownership.
Single-Tag Creation
Maximize productivity by directly accessing tag information in the controller. Define tags
once in the controller and reference them while you design your HMI system. Eliminate
the step of importing tags from the controller.
3
Connectivity
Preferred connectivity to Rockwell Automation products, such as ControlLogix,
MicroLogix, PLC-5, and SLC 500 controllers. Networks supported include
Ethernet, ControlNet, DeviceNet, DH+, DF1, and DH-485. All FactoryTalk View
Machine Edition runtime platforms also include Kepserver Enterprise to support a wide
variety of third-party programmable.
Software Required: FactoryTalk View.
