- Which PanelView is right for your application?
With so many different Allen-Bradley PanelViews available from Rockwell Automation, it can often be quite confusing for new customers to know which one is right for their application. With that in mind, in today’s article I’ll run down all of Rockwell’s PanelViews to hopefully make things a little clearer! PanelView models which are Obsolete: Let’s start with PanelViews ...Read more... - How To Find Your Local Rockwell Distributor or Representative
A common question my students ask is about who should they call to purchase Allen-Bradley Software and Hardware. To address this I send them a link to Rockwell’s website, which will allow them to look up their local Rockwell representative or distributor. These reps can help them with the following services: Provide demo copies of software either ...Read more... - How To Find Your Local Rockwell Distributor or Representative (M4E17)

When I think of a Panelview, so many experiences come to mind. I have worked with so many hardware models, software such as Panelbuilder 1400E, Panelbuilder 32, Factory Talk ME versions 4.0 up to the latest, communications using DH+/RIO, ControlNet, & EtherNet. In each of these cases, it was a completely different software than the software that ...Read more... - The PanelView 5310

Check out our Video Collection #1 here, which includes the first five seasons of our ...Read more... - View Designer – Developing a PanelView 5510 Project
In my last article here, I covered getting to know the PV 5510 terminal in terms of navigation and system settings. I ’ll now take a step further and begin developing a project. The first lesson that I was given by the terminal is the lesson/reminder of going through the compatibility matrix of any Rockwell products ...Read more... - View Designer – Pop-Up Windows Using Alias Tags
If you enjoy programming your ControlLogix/CompactLogix system utilizing Add-On instructions, then you will want the same compatibility when building graphics in View Designer. No PLC/HMI developer wants to re-create the same displays over and over with copy/paste/replace monotony. Today, I want to look at the capability of the View Designer project to match the Logix Designer Add-On ...Read more... - Logix and View Designer – Using the HMIBC
I really should investigate release notes more, you learn all kinds of things. I ran across something in the View Designer manual called an “HMIBC” so I was curious as to what it is. Created for high-speed inputs from an HMI Device, this HMI Button Control is an instruction in Logix Designer that can be triggered ...Read more... - Logix and View Designer – Alarm Integration
I will be honest, when I read the release notes for the latest release(s) of Logix Designer, I didn’t spend much effort on the parts about alarm enhancements with CompactLogix and ControlLogix Controllers. But over the last couple of week I’ve come to learn about and appreciate some of these features. There are two types of alarms ...Read more... - View Designer – Security
When creating an operator interface, one piece of the puzzle is to think about security before getting too far into the project. This is because you can spend a lot of time reworking and cleaning up if you don’t put thought into it ahead of time. Security is a necessary component because certain features need to be ...Read more... - View Designer – Language Switching
One of my favorite things about my home state of Louisiana is culture. We have a blend of many beautiful cultures and out of that comes some of the best food, entertainment and zeal for life I have known anywhere. While I could write volumes on all of that, I will move on to my point, ...Read more... - View Designer – PDF Viewer
In my experience, it is the “little things” that can make a big difference in an HMI Project. Simple features can save time and money by providing valuable information at the touch of an operator or technician’s fingertips. I noticed in the View Designer manual, a pre-built “PDF Viewer” graphic object that can be inserted into a ...Read more... - View Designer – Using Extended Tag Properties
I’ll admit, I don’t always investigate every new feature that I read in a software’s release notes and many times I fail to utilize them for some time. Such is the case for tag extended properties in Logix Designer and View Designer. Having used RSLogix 5000 since version seven, I have tried to keep with the new ...Read more... - View Designer – Trend and Emulator
While many times underutilized in an HMI, everyone involved in a manufacturing process benefits from trended data, or at least, they would benefit if they used it. Operators can monitor the direction of their process and better understand how things are controlling and operating, maintenance personnel can use trends to detect and troubleshoot problems and engineers ...Read more... - View Designer – New Features Planned for v8

View Designer also supports the same operating systems as Logix Designer v27: Windows ...Read more... - PanelView 5500 documents now in Literature Library
While working on another story, I became aware that Rockwell Automation has published several PanelView 5500 documents in its Literature Library. The interesting part is, to my knowledge Rockwell has yet to release an announcement about the product’s release. I also just checked, and as of noontime yesterday Rockwell still had not made the required software, Studio ...Read more... - PanelView 5500, as seen at TechED 2015
This year some very lucky attendees of Rockwell’s TechEd had the opportunity to test drive Rockwell’s next generation of HMI’s, the PanelView 5500. It’s been literally years since the last hand-on sessions were offered for the PanelView 5000, and with limited seating available only those who signed-up very early had the opportunity to register for the session. Before attendees jumped into the hands-on they were shown ...Read more... - Integrated Architecture – TechED15: What’s New with Integrated Architecture as seen at TechED 2015

CompactLogix Hardware First up, Rockwell announces a new member ...Read more... - PanelView 5000: What We Know So FarThe PanelView 5000 was first previewed at Rockwell’s Automation Fair 2011, but not much was being said about it at the time. In fact so little was being said, they wouldn’t even tell us the name of the software package which programmed it. From Automation Fair 2011 to RSTechED 2012 Fast forward several months to RSTechED 2012, and I was one ...Read more...
