1 Getting started with FactoryTalk ViewPoint
This chapter describes:
what a FactoryTalk® ViewPoint web application is.
FactoryTalk ViewPoint system requirements.
how to install the FactoryTalk ViewPoint software.
how to upgrade to FactoryTalk ViewPoint 8.00.
how to set up web client computers.
About FactoryTalk ViewPoint web applications
FactoryTalk® ViewPoint is an add-on to FactoryTalk View that provides for a fully scalable, fully animated, read-and-write view of existing Site Edition (SE) and Machine Edition (ME) web applications from a web browser.
A web application consists of graphic displays selected from the FactoryTalk View application, converted for viewing in a web browser, and then published to a FactoryTalk ViewPoint Server (also called the web server).
For Site Edition applications, the FactoryTalk ViewPoint Server runs on a desktop or server computer.
For Machine Edition applications, a PanelView™ Plus or PanelView™ Plus Pro operator terminal functions as the server.
To learn more about differences between Site Edition and Machine Edition web applications, see the next chapters in this manual.

FACTORYTALK VIEWPOINT QUICK START
What to expect when you open a web application
To open a published web application, all you have to do is open a browser and enter the address of the computer or terminal running the web server that hosts the
application, such as http://computer name/FTVP.
When you enter a web address in the browser, do not exceed the maximum length of 2048 characters. Rework the screen so that the web address is less than 2048 characters. If the web address exceeds the maximum 2048 characters allowed, the following error message appears, "Unable to open the requested display. The web address exceeds the maximum length of 2048 characters".
Note: Different browsers have different length limits. If you get this error message because you are using large numbers of parameters, it is recommended that you use a parameter file instead.
The initial display that you specified for the web application opens first. From there, you can navigate the entire application using buttons and touch animation created in FactoryTalk View Studio. Touch animation is not supported in FactoryTalk
ViewPoint for Machine Edition.
If you are using FactoryTalk ViewPoint Site Edition, you can view multiple displays using a startup macro. FactoryTalk ViewPoint Machine Edition allows a single display on startup. Macros are not supported in FactoryTalk ViewPoint for Machine Edition.
Displays in a FactoryTalk ViewPoint application can be secured. In runtime, an authenticated user who is a member of a security group, is allowed or denied access to secured displays. There are two types of access: Write and View. Graphic objects in the displays are fully animated; and depending on your security permissions you can use the objects to write to tags. You cannot start and stop HMI components. For example, a numeric input object with a tag connection will display the tag's current value, but will not permit downloads.
As in FactoryTalk View, objects with tag or expression connections will show in outline form if the connection is broken.
To learn more about FactoryTalk View features that are not supported in FactoryTalk ViewPoint applications, see the FactoryTalk ViewPoint Help.

1 • GETTING STARTED WITH FACTORYTALK VIEWPOINT
Note: The Static Content option must be enabled while configuring Internet Information Services (IIS) for Windows 7 before FactoryTalk ViewPoint can be installed.
If you plan to run a FactoryTalk ViewPoint Server on a Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista Business, or Windows 7 Professional computer in a distributed system, do not install the following FactoryTalk server components on the same computer: HMI server, data server, or alarm server.
PREREQUISITE SOFTWARE
If necessary, the FactoryTalk ViewPoint setup program installs the following prerequisites automatically:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 with Service Pack 1
Note: It might take several minutes to install .NET 3.5 with Service Pack 1 on some computers. If you use Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 R2, or Windows Server 2012, you need to manually install it. Follow the on-screen instructions to continue the installation.
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) (For Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, IIS must be installed manually.)
FactoryTalk Activation 3.62.01
FactoryTalk Services Platform 2.70
FactoryTalk Alarms and Events 2.70
FactoryTalk View Site Edition Client 8.00
RSLinx Enterprise 5.70.00
If you have Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is not installed, you will receive a message to install the software manually before installing FactoryTalk ViewPoint. We recommend restarting the computer after installing IIS. To learn more about installing Microsoft
Internet Information Services, see the FactoryTalk ViewPoint Help.
Use the Windows Add or Remove Programs tool to check supporting software versions on the FactoryTalk ViewPoint Server computer.

PANELVIEW PLUS OR PANELVIEW PLUS 6 REQUIREMENTS
Supported operating system
Windows CE 6
Supported operator terminals
PanelView Plus (700-1500 with 128 MB RAM)
PanelView Plus 6
7
FACTORYTALK VIEWPOINT QUICK START
Note: PanelView Plus 6 terminals ship with FactoryTalk ViewPoint Machine Edition installed.
FactoryTalk ViewPoint Machine Edition can generate FactoryTalk ViewPoint content for previous versions of FactoryTalk ViewPoint Machine Edition. During the runtime application (.MER file) creation process, the published FactoryTalk ViewPoint content is converted to the version selected and included with the MER.
In addition, the FactoryTalk ViewPoint server (which is a part of the operator terminal firmware) is also able to process and serve earlier versions of FactoryTalk ViewPoint content to the client (browser). This scenario could occur when a MER file created with FactoryTalk View ME 5.10 contains FactoryTalk ViewPoint 1.2 content and is loaded and run on a PanelView Plus 6 operator terminal.
