3. Using PanelView Plus v5.10 with V20 Controllers
For a PanelView Plus or PanelView Plus CE terminal to communicate with a V20 controller the following is necessary
Upgrade PanelView Plus or PanelView Plus CE to firmware
Upgrade FactoryTalk Services (FactoryTalk Diagnostics, FactoryTalk Service Platform, FactoryTalk Activation, and RSLinx Enterprise) to CPR9 SR5 version.
There is a single downloadable install for this FT Service upgrade that is designed to require minimal user interaction with the install, and deliver all the products in a single install operation. See Knowbase Article #490905
It is not necessary to upgrade any FactoryTalk View v5.x application to a newer version

6. Expand Your Network Capabilities
PCI Ethernet Accessory: Provides a second, isolated Ethernet port – does NOT support DLR.
Expand the capabilities of PanelView Plus 6 ( ) with remote connection capability
Allow data segregation between Control network and Enterprise network when the system is properly architected.
2711P-RN20 Expected Release: Winter 2012
PVP6
NIC1:
NIC2:
Cell/Area Zones
Enterprise Zone
DMZ
Added Dual NIC Card capabilities:
In addition to the Ethernet Port located on the PVP6 Logix Module, a second Ethernet Port can be added.
The Logix module ethernet port is traditionally used to connect to the Cell/ Area Zone. The second Ethernet port comes in handy when you want additional conductivity up to the Manufacturing Zone.
This offering does not support DLR and is not intended to. If you want the PVP6 to physically join a DLR Ring, you will need to add a 1783-ETAP in between.
Right now, you will need to order this additional NIC card with two separate part numbers
6189V-PCIENET (This is the Ethernet PC board)
2711P-RN0 (This is the housing for the Ethernet PC board)
A assembled unit with one part # will be released in the Fall The assembled unit is currently in hardware testing to validate all the necessary certifications needed.

12. Directly access non-controller devicesME
Directly access non-controller devices SE
Two methods to read/write devices without bridging through a controller
EDS Parameters
CIP Data Table
tags for new device connections
Direct Connectivity feature allows any FactoryTalk View application (SE or ME), or PanelView Plus 6 terminal (400, 600, 700, 1000, 1250, 1500) to read and write data from non-controller devices that use CIP protocol on EthernetI/P, ControlNet, or DeviceNet. Accessing DeviceNet devices requires that a Ethernet to DeviceNet conversion appliance.
Direct Connectivity uses well-formed Device EDS Files, and, FYI, there are provisions to add ‘new’ Rockwell EDS files and non-Rockwell product EDS files to the connection configuration mechanism. If a Device EDS file does not include the device’s parameter information, then the FTView system will not be able to browse the device tags.
As an example, Powerflex drives use a minimum ‘stub’ EDS file that does not contain the necessary information. It is not possible to browse Powerflex drive parameters using the Direct Connectivity feature.
When the HMI application needs data from a non-controller device (ex. E1, 291E, 294E, PowerMonitor 5000) and the device information is NOT required in the PLC application, Direct Connectivity provides a easy way to access the data without consuming controller memory (ex. device UDT) or CPU Bandwidth (Ex. communicating with the device over the backplane, or network)
Direct Connectivity supports two connection types: EDS Parameters and Data Table.
Please note, that the Data Table connection type is for CIP Data Table object in the communication protocol, NOT Data Table like the older SLC500 and PLC5 addressing scheme (Ex. N70:100)

13. Direct Access: EDS Parameters
Tag browsing
Similar to “offline” folders for controllers
Uses [Params] section of EDS file
Reading and writing
Uses Link Path, Data Type and Data Size entries of EDS file
Use connected messaging
Diagnostics and error handling similar to controller communications
EDS files are open text files required for all CIP devices
16,775 EDS files on Rockwell Automation’s website
Direct Connectivity provides two different connection types, EDS Parameters is one type. This slide characterizes this connection type.
Take away: EDS Parameters works like offline ACD file tag browsing in FTView SE and ME

14. Direct Access: CIP Data Table ObjectME
Direct Access: CIP Data Table Object SE
Tag browsing
Similar to controller “online” browsing
Device symbols built in to firmware
Reading and writing
Uses symbolic addressing enabled by the Data Table object
Uses connected messaging
Diagnostics and error handling similar to controller communications
Devices that support CIP Data Table
E3 Smart Overloads, Power Monitors 5000
Direct Connectivity provides two different connection types, Data Table (CIP Data Table) is another type. This slide characterizes this connection type.
Take away: [CIP].<sic> Data Table works like online controller (ex. ControlLogix L63) tag browsing in FTView SE and ME

16. Simplified install Integrated installation of all applicationsME
Simplified install SE
Integrated installation of all applications
Similar to RSLogix 5000 Install
All FactoryTalk View products use single DVD
Optimized application installation order
Streamlined EULA
Automated IIS installation and configuration
No specific additional notes. Take Away: It is easier and simpler. Take Away 2: FOR FactoryTalk View SE Customer’s, IIS enablement (installation) and configuration is automated (for those OS that allow) and SIGNIFICANTLY reduces installation errors that result from a mis-configuring IIS.

17. Execute changes more efficientlyME
Execute changes more efficiently SE
Search for tags and text in multiple project objects
Replace tags or text in multiple project objects
Operates on
Displays
Global objects
Current Search/Replace functionality is called TAG SUBSTITUTION and only works on ONE and only one Display or Global Object at a time. New 7.0 feature will work on ALL Displays and/or Global Objects throughout an application.
Note, it is currently not possible to only perform a search/replace on a subset of Display and/or Global Objects. This is planned for a future release.

18. Faster troubleshootingME
Faster troubleshooting SE
Use cross-reference to locate tag usage by Component Type
Hotlink to location directly from Cross-reference
Cross-referencing, as we know from our RSLogix editors, can provide a valuable and time-saving for maintenance engineers performing tasks on systems they are not completely familiar with.
FTView Cross-reference is generated on-demand, and allows a user to see where a specific tag is used throughout an application. The user can double-click any reference and immediately open the specific object (ex. Display) or project attribute (ex. Macro, Parameter files). Cross-reference, unlike Search/Replace, will work with ALL project attributes (ex. Displays, Macros, Recipes, Alarms, etc.)

20. Expanded data logging capabilityME
Expanded data logging capability
Increased data model size to 1,000,000 records
@ 10ms log rate application can store data for 2.78hrs
@ 1s log rate application can store data for 11.57days
@ 10s log rate application can store data for days
@ 60s log rate application can store data for 1.90 yrs
Previous Data Model, pre-7.0, limitation is 300K records.
Important to note… and this is not specific to 7.0…
Data Model records limits are for the TOTAL NUMBER OF TAGS IN THE MODEL… consider
if you are logging one tag, then the amount of storage (in time) shown above is correct (Ex. one tag, 10s results in a Data Model that covers 115 days)
if you are logging more tags, then the amount of storage (in time) is less. (ex. ten tags, 10s results in a Data Model representing only 11.6 days)

21. Retrieve runtime terminal information
Terminal Info ActiveX
Capture information for internal and external NIC
TCP/IP device name
TCP/IP address
Subnet mask
MAC Id
Capture terminal environmental data at runtime
Temperatures (CPU, Display)
Load (CPU, Memory)
Battery voltage
TerminalInfo is a new 7.0 ActiveX (OCX) that will replace the older IPINFO OCX for 7.0 and later applications.
TerminalInfo now returns a wealth of information about a terminal’s state. In addition to the TCPIP parameters (ex. TCPIP Addres) the OCX returns status about the terminal, such as:
CPU Temperature – the temperature of the CPU from the sensor in the CPU
Board Temperature – the temperature of the logic board from the sensor built on the board
Display Temperature – the internal temperature of the display unit from the sensor on the display board in the bezel.
CPU Load – 0 to 100%
Memory Load – 0 to 100%
Memory Thrashing – a measure of how much paging the system is performing for the virtualized memory on the PvP 6.
Battery Voltage – the current voltage available from the Lithium battery on the logic module.
Note, PvP6 400/600 and PvP6 400/600 Compact do not return either CPU or Display Temperature, as the sensor were not included.
It is possible to create system alarms from the information being returned by the TerminalInfo ActiveX.

22. Increase flexibility of reusable componentsME
Increase flexibility of reusable components
Added parameterization to Goto Display and Macro button
Allows programmatic control of the target (display destination or macro)
New connection supports literals (“myDisplay”), tags ({myTag}), and placeholders ({#1})
In 7.0 both the Macro and Goto Display button support a tag Connection for redirecting the target (what the button will do) at runtime.
The Connection can be a direct tag (ControlLogix tag), a HMI tag, or an expression. When used in an expression a String Tag must be used to hold the name of the target display or macro. It is not possible to use string literals (ex. “display_one”, “macro_seven”)
Goto Display
For example, consider an application that requires a Goto Display button to have different destinations (displays) based on the current user security (A-P).
Before 7.0, an HMI Designer would need to add multiple Goto Display buttons to a display, all with unique destinations, and then user Visibility Animation to show the correct button to the correct user based on the user’s security (A-P). In 7.0, the HMI Designer can use a single Goto Display button, eliminate the Visibility Animation, and write an Expression that returns the destination that matches the user’s security (A-P). This is a MUCH SIMPLER application.
Macro button
For example, consider an application that uses a single Pop-up display and parameter passing to control each of ten identical pumps. One the Pop-up is a Macro button used to configure the pump to a known default set of values.
Before 7.0, an HMI Designer would need to be very creative with how they were using the macro and pop-up, since a Macro button can only execute on macro that is configured and fixed at design-time. The macro and parameter passing scheme would be very complex and likely also required control application logic to help the HMI meet the application needs.
In 7.0, the HMI Designer can pass a parameter to the Pop-Up. The parameter is the name of the macro to be executed when the Macro button is pressed.

23. Simplify complex runtime tasks
Macro Multiplexer ActiveX
Programmatic control of macro execution
Index tags selects one of up to 100 configured macro to execute
Implement more than one ActiveX to control more than 100 macros
Case Statement ActiveX
Quickly convert a number to a string
Supports six operations
LEQ, LES, EQU, NEQ, GRT, GEQ
Create up to 50 test cases
Support default result case
Implement more than one ActiveX to handle more than 50 test cases
Eliminates the need to use large complex IF-ELSEIF constructs in macros
The Macro Multiplexor OCX is used to increase the number of macros that a control program can remotely run from four (using Global Connection), to almost as many as the application requires. Each Macro Multiplexor OCX can run one of up to 100 macros when triggered. An application can used multiple Macro Multiplexor OCX if needed.
The Case Statement OCX is used to convert a numeric value to a string. Many objects in ME Runtime return a value based on the operator’s selection (ex. Interlocked buttons, control list, piloted control list, etc.). If the application requires that a textual response be made to the operator’s action HMI Designers only had two options before this OCX was available 1) Use a complicated If-Then-ElseIf expression, or 2) Use logic in the controller.
Using the Case Statement OCX each OCX instance can be configured to return a string based on 50 different test cases when triggered.

24. Additional features Load to SD cardME
Additional features
Load to SD card
Save internal storage space on terminal
System runs MER from SD card
Scroll diagnostic messages left and right to view entire message
Load to SD Card, can be used to save PvP6 RAM memory when very large applications are being run. The feature (off by default) allows the user to decompress the MER to the SD card (/Temp folder) when loading the project, instead of the default operation to decompress the MER to internal RAM.
Scrolling Diagnostic messages is a response to Customer Satisfaction survey results. HMI Designer can add Left and Right buttons to the Diagnostic Display to allow an operator to scroll messages left and right. Before 7.0, lengthy diagnostic messages were clipped in the pop-up display control.
