I recently discovered that I will be utilizing a Panelview Plus 7 alongside my L32E CompactLogix controller. With my Studio 5000 Professional edition license, I was able to install RSLogix 5000 Pro for programming purposes. I am curious if this license also includes any HMI design software for integrating the HMI into my project, or if all programming is done directly on the HMI itself. I am seeking guidance on the steps I need to take to incorporate the HMI into my project and start the design process. If an additional license is necessary, I am willing to acquire it. Any insights from experienced individuals in this area would be greatly appreciated.
To program your PanelView Plus 7, a license for FactoryTalk View Studio ME is required. This software package is separate from Studio5000/RSLogix5000. FactoryTalk View Machine Edition is a versatile HMI application designed specifically for machine-level operator interface devices. Visit the official Rockwell Automation website for more information on FactoryTalk View ME software.
Your Studio 5000 Professional license does indeed include FactoryTalk View Studio which is the software used for HMI design on the PanelView Plus 7. It's fully integrated with RSLogix 5000 so you will be able to easily connect your HMI to your L32E CompactLogix controller. The design process for the HMI is not completed directly on the HMI itself but in this software. After installation, you'll be navigating a GUI to create screens that will then be downloaded to the actual HMI. No need for an additional license for this, you're all set with what you have! Hope this helps and good luck with your project.
Sure, happy to assist you. Your Studio 5000 Professional edition does include the RSView Studio (now known as FactoryTalk View Studio) used for HMI programming. You should be able to utilize FactoryTalk View Studio Machine Edition to design a Panelview Plus project. Here, you'll create your screens, buttons, animations, etc., and interface to your CompactLogix processor for tag names. Once you have designed your application, you will load it onto the Panelview Plus 7 via USB or Ethernet. No need for an additional license, the FactoryTalk View ME should work just fine with your existing Professional Edition. Do remember to verify the firmware versions compatibility. Happy designing!
Absolutely, your Studio 5000 Professional edition license includes FactoryTalk View Studio ME (Machine Edition) which is an HMI design software specifically for PanelView Plus terminals. You'll need to create HMI screens using FactoryTalk View Studio, and then download the generated file to your PanelView Plus 7. This software allows you to directly link to tags in your RSLogix 5000 project, making the integration quite seamless. No additional license is necessary, and it's as simple as launching the application from the start menu and beginning your HMI design. It's very manageable once you familiarize yourself with the interface, but I'd encourage checking out some tutorials if you're new. Good luck with your project!
Your Studio 5000 Pro license does contain a version of HMI design software titled FactoryTalk View Studio, which is crucial in incorporating the HMI into your project. You use this program to develop your HMI design offsite and then upload it to the Panelview Plus 7. Just ensure you have the appropriate version of FactoryTalk View Studio that is compatible with the firmware of your Panelview Plus 7. If for some reason this isn't included in your license, you might need to purchase it separately. Happy programming!
