Agenda Overview Demo Wrap-Up Good Afternoon, Thank you for attending this webinar over FactoryTalk ViewPoint with FactoryTalk View SE. We well go over a brief overview of what Viewpoint is and when to use it vs. a View SE client. Then go into a demo to show you how to take advantage of the latest features And last but not least a brief wrap-up

What is FactoryTalk ViewPoint New, thin-client solution for FactoryTalk View SE Adds ability for FactoryTalk View projects to be used in a Web browser Viewpoint is an add-on to FT View SE that gives you on-demand read write access to monitor your FT View SE applications remotely from a web browser. Viewpoint is available to be used with both Local SE & ME and SE network applications. Viewpoint is used with web clients with browsers. Examples of web clients: Laptops, desktops, phones, tablets…. Although it cannot be used with all web-enabled mobile phones or tablets: When Microsoft created Silverlight they created two instances, one is called "In-browser" and the other "Out-of-browser". FactoryTalk ViewPoint is built on the "In-browser" Silverlight. This is also outlined on AID 119904 Copyright © 2011 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.

Uses for VP client: monitoring (alarms, levels, overview of how the system is working), download simple data (setpoints) if you do not need to see historical trending data EXAMPLES: Remote control Turn on & off : pumps, lights, fans Close vales Setting setpoints Wireless connection when there is not any access to a hard wire Whether you are in the plant or 500 miles away and you need to make a change to a value or just needed to monitor which alarms are going off. If your data is critical and particularly time critical you may want to use the SE Client since it updates at the same rate it is getting data. Likewise, it has Higher availability and Performance. Viewpoint updates based on the refresh rate of your browser. Which can be adjusted. See aid 60768 - How do I adjust the FactoryTalk ViewPoint automatic display refresh interval? Some other differences, which some projects may rely heavenly on, are what are you using in your application VBA Using ActiveX controls (for example Microsoft or other 3rd party) If you have to have access to historical data when trending Advance options: language switching & recipe Viewpoint is used with web clients with browsers.
