We have a Panel View Plus HMI installed in the field for local control; however we would like to move the control to Central Control Room (CCR) where operators can have easy access to this application. In order to do this, we have bought Factory Talk View Studio and Factory Talk View Station licenses. These software are installed on a standalone computer which will be residing in the CCR providing control to operators.
Can we convert the Panel View Application (.MED file) into Factory Talk View SE Station application so that it can be run on a standalone workstation to provide operators the local HMI access? What are the other ways of creating this project? I don’t want to start from scratch as .MED file is already available.
So far I tried to create a new application in Factory Talk SE Studio (View Site Edition (Local Station) by using the following steps:
1) Create a new file as application type View Site Edition (Local Station).
2) Under new tab, type the application name and then clicking the import button.
3) From import file wizard, selecting “Factory Talk View Machine Edition Project (*.med)”
4) Select the .med file by browsing to the correct directory
5) FT View Studio import the file into the new application.
However, what I noticed the graphics in the imported project are still Panel View Plus size. I was under the impression that it will change the graphics to full 21’’ screen display. Do I have to manually resize each and every graphic? What about the tag database which is also imported from the original .MED application?
I would really appreciate your assistance if you could guide me in the right direction.
