Chapter 5 FactoryTalk View ME Configuration
Follow These Steps
This chapter provides two HMI application configuration options:
• Designing from a preconfigured HMI application file
• Designing from an existing HMI application file
Complete these steps to create your Logix5000 controller logic for your drives and motion application.
Design From a Preconfigured HMI Application File
If you are creating a new HMI application file for your system, use this section to configure your application file.
Using the preconfigured HMI application file is the most efficient way to create your application file. It includes
all of the displays, parameter files, and alarm setup-tags and messages required for all faceplates and devices.
If your existing HMI application file is not too extensive, it may still be more efficient to start from the
preconfigured HMI application file and copy your existing application displays, parameter files, and alarm
messages. Otherwise, follow the steps in Design From an Existing HMI Application File starting on page 117.
