FactoryTalk View Studio Quick Start Videos Section 2 ConnectRockwell's FactoryTalk View Studio Machine Edition (ViewME) and PanelView Plus (PVPlus) can be a little challenging for new users to learn. I still remember my own frustration trying to setup RSLinx Enterprise for the first time when I received my beta copy of FactoryTalk View Studio 3.0 back in late 2003.

Since then, Rockwell has released nearly a dozen FactoryTalk View Studio Machine Edition (ViewME) and PanelView Plus (PVPlus) Quick Start Videos on their Allen-Bradley website at www.AB.com, and in today's article I'll list all of these videos, and provide a direct link to view each one:

    Shawn,
    I just purchased a new PanelView Plus 7 along with FactoryTalk View Studio ME version 8.2. I updated the firmware of the panel to 8.2 and can now easily communicate from my laptop to the panel. Unfortunately, when I noticed that the communication was being handled by RSLinx Enterprise (I have been using Classic since I got the laptop two years ago), I tried to open Classic up to no avail. I have even disconnected everything and attempted to open RSLinx Classic without any success. I have noticed that when I go to my program tree only RSLinx Classic is shown. How can I get Classic working again as I do not have any "previous versions" to fall back on?
    Thanks,
    Rusty

    Good morning Rusty,
    Sorry I missed your post - for some odd reason it got stuck in the spam filter 🙁
    In any case, I highly recommend upgrading the the RSLinx Classic that comes with ViewStudio 8.2 as it sounds like the version you have was incompatible with the new FactoryTalk sevices installed with View 8.2?

    Where abouts can we find more of these videos on the Rockwell website?

    Your blog has been a major help with a couple of issues I have had and given me guidance in a few projects I have carried out.

    Many thanks.
