Hmmm.... your selections sound me strange...

I would do the following:

COMPUTER#1:
9701-VWSS250LENE FactoryTalk View Site Edition Server 250 Display with RSLinx Bundle
9701-VWSCWAENE FactoryTalk View Site Edition Client

COMPUTER#2:
9701-VWSTENE FactoryTalk View Studio for FactoryTalk View

COMPUTER#3-COMPUTER#5:
9701-VWSCRAENE FactoryTalk View Site Edition View Client

The client license on computer #1 is only needed if you have to use the application from there.
View only clients will not be able to set values, obviously.

Hope this helps,

due to cost of first setup, i need find another solution for this purpose, for my understanding I can do same with:

9701-VWSTENE FactoryTalk View Studio for FactoryTalk View
9701-VWSB250AENE FactoryTalk View Site Edition Station 250 Display
9522-VWP03RENE FactoryTalk ViewPoint 3 Client System (Read Only)

with setup:

COMPUTER 1:
9701-VWSB250AENE FactoryTalk View Site Edition Station 250 Display
9522-VWP03RENE FactoryTalk ViewPoint 3 Client System (Read Only)-server(Like I understand including in 9522-VWP03RENE)

COMPUTER 2:
9701-VWSTENE FactoryTalk View Studio for FactoryTalk View

COMPUTER 3-5:
9522-VWP03RENE FactoryTalk ViewPoint 3 Client System (Read Only)-
1 client for each computer

Is this setup will work?

I think you need to review your setup. SE Station is stand alone like the older RSView32. Clients cannot connect to it. You need server to have clients. Unless I'm not reading your post correctly.

due to this publication there is local setup.
and on computer witch communicate with PLC installed:

FactoryTalk ViewPoint Server​

FactoryTalk View SE Local

9522-VWP03RENE FactoryTalk ViewPoint 3 Client System - looks like this is a server, allows acess for 3 clients ???​

what they mean "FactoryTalk View SE Local" ???​

 

[jkerekes]

I did misread your post. Your talking about ViewPoint which is a webserver with webclients. I know VP ver.1 clients were display only. Newer versions do have more control ability. But as I understand it, there are still significant limitations on what you can do vs. a standard SE client.

 

[fuzzy logic]

Yes, your last setup will work as an option to the first idea.

Your SE Station (considered "Local", that means it isn't distributed over more PCs using server-client architecture) will allow a full control of your application, while the Viewpoint server will serve your 3 View-Only web clients on other PCs.

On the Client-side of this Viewpoint architecture, one of the benefit compared to a "standard" client solution is that you don't need to install application software but an Internet Browser using MS Silverlight technology to access your HMI displays.

On the other side, there are still some limitations in the actual version 2 of Viewpoint SE; have a read to the following technote:
275185 - Unsupported FactoryTalk View SE features within FactoryTalk ViewPoint v2.0
