FactoryTalk ViewPoint software, an add-on to FactoryTalk View Studio software, allows plant managers, production supervisors, system integrators, and other key stakeholders to view and control real-time plant floor operations remotely from a web browser. FactoryTalk ViewPoint enabled displays are fully scalable and animated in the browser. The remote user can also view displays that are not the active display of the terminal.
Each PanelView Plus 6 - 700…1500 terminal contains one license that supports a single client connection to the terminal. No additional software is required. FactoryTalk ViewPoint software is not supported by the PanelView Plus 6 - 400 and 600 terminals.
