FactoryTalk View Machine Edition allows for a consistent operator interface across multiple platforms, including Microsoft® Windows® CE and Windows desktop solutions.

FactoryTalk View bridges the gap between machine-level and supervisory-level systems to give users a more efficient, productive, and cost-efficient solution at all levels of the enterprise. Designed for scalability and integration between machine and supervisory levels, Enterprise products are designed with a common look, feel, and navigation to speed development and training time while reducing your total cost of ownership.

Maximize productivity by directly accessing tag information in the controller. Define tags once in the controller and reference them while you design your HMI system. Eliminate the step of importing tags from the controller. Networks supported include Ethernet, ControlNet, DeviceNet, DH , DF1, and DH-485. All FactoryTalk View Machine Edition runtime platforms also include Kepserver Enterprise to support a wide variety of third-party programmable controllers and devices.
