Last week Rockwell released version 10.00.01 of FactoryTalk View Machine Edition, and below I'll summarize the new and enhanced features that were added:

New Features:

  • Built-in “audit trail” log feature provides report of operator inter-actions with graphic objects
  • Developers can now allow operators to export audit, diagnostics, alarm history logs to CSV file at runtime
  • Developers can now enable “dynamically specified” local message files, as well as trigger messages to be written to a string tag
  • Using the Installer interface, installation choices and actions can now be recorded on one PC, and then played back on another.
  • Help files are now provided in HTML5

Enhancements:

  • Version 5.00, 5.10, and 6.00 runtime applications can now be opened and converted using v10 on a 64-bit operating system.
  • FT View Machine Edition Station now shows the software version in the title bar of the startup dialog box
  • The CSV Data Log Tamper Detection Utility installation files are now included with FTView installation files
  • The Property Panel and Object Explorer now are automatically docked to the right of the main window
  • Multiple components can now be deleted and removed at a time.
  • KEPServer version 5.21 support added

Corrected Anomalies

  • DataStorePlus ActiveX no longer deletes all old CSV data log files when system date changes from December 31, 2016 to January 1, 2017.
  • Runtime applications no  longer stop loading after the recipe load operation by a Recipe 2 Enhanced ActiveX control
  • Acknowledging (or remote acknowledging) alarms no longer changes alarm message fonts
