Got several production lines with tons of panelviews currently running factorytalk view ME on each of them. It's kind of a pain making changes and keeping back ups of everything so was looking into maybe switching to either factorytalk view SE or transitioning to another scada system like Ignition.
I've never used factorytalk view SE and have a few questions.
1. Most important, is there some kind of failsafe mode for when network goes down? For example transitoning to running a local version of factorytalk ME or something? Ignition keeps a copy of program on client, and if server goes down, just runs the copy on client. I can't be having every panelview in facility drop out and lines go down because IT reboots a computer or we have a main cable go bad.
2. Is there any kind of version control and automatic backup? Be handy to be able to make some changes real quick, see how they work out, and revert back quickly if need be.
Thanks,
Kalagaraz
