Features
This release includes the following system features.
FactoryTalk View SE version 9.00.00 has the following new and enhanced features.
New features
- New trending object, Trend Pro
The Trend Pro object provides modern trending capabilities with easy run-time
configuration, easy drag and drop ad-hoc trending, and statistical and sampling
calculations. You can plot data from live data, FactoryTalk View SE data logs, and
FactoryTalk Historian.
By using traces, you can display and compare multiple tags concurrently
independent of the data source of the tags, and manipulate the data in a graph in a
variety of ways such as panning, zooming, and scaling. You can also easily capture
the historical data to reference or analyze later.
- Recipe management with RecipePro+ editor
The RecipePro+ editor extends the functionality of the Recipe editor with advanced
recipe management. All functions can be done at runtime, and you do not need a
FactoryTalk View Studio license.
You can easily use the editor to create, duplicate, edit and preview the recipes. By
refreshing recipe values, you can view differences between the current tag values
and the preset recipe values. You can also use it to export recipes to CSV files or
import recipes from CSV files.
- New FactoryTalk View commands
FactoryTalk View provides the following RecipePro+ commands that you can use
for recipe management.
- Hyperlink animation
Use the hyperlink animation to easily link your object to documents or web sites
hosted on web servers. All graphic objects supporting the touch animation, except
the numeric input and string input objects, support the hyperlink animation.
- New built-in functions
FactoryTalk View SE introduces new security and alarm functions that you can use
in the expressions.
- Logix Designer tag extended properties support
You can read the values of controller tag extended properties directly as normal
tags in your FactoryTalk View applications. The supported extended tag properties
include .@Min, .@Max, .@Description, .@EngineeringUnit, .@State0, and
.@State1. Use the format TagName.@ExtendedProperty where TagName is the
controller tag and ExtendedProperty is the extended property, for example,
[Shortcut]SodaCIPTanks.Water.Value.@Min. If the extended properties support
multiple languages, the text strings dynamically switch between languages when
you use the existing client language switching commands.
- Data communication inhibit
This release enables you to control which shortcuts are active from FactoryTalk
Administration Console or from an HMI screen. It provides appropriate system
diagnostic indications to show the communications to the targeted device are
intentionally inhibited. This reduces the system loading time and network load, and
improves the system usability by inhibiting and enabling data communications
flexibly.
Enhanced features
- Optimized installation
FactoryTalk View installation is automated for ease and convenience.
- New operating system support
- Dynamic decimal places
Numeric input and numeric display objects can show a varying number of decimal
places depending on the tag or parameter defined.
- Scientific notation
You can format numeric inputs or numeric displays to always show scientific
notation so that it is easier to read for operators.
- Printing screen to PDF
In the ScreenPrint or PrintDisplay command, you can print the current screen or
display to a PDF file so that you can reference later or share with others.
- Screen statistics
In the graphic editor, you can view the statistic information of a display, such as the
total referenced tags and the total used expressions.

update the registry key CompressTimeout to a value larger than 1200 and try
again. The key is in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Rockwell
Software\RSView Enterprise\DistributeApplicationManager\Settings.
- Cannot overwrite all components in the HMI server
During the restore operation, when overwriting components of a running HMI
server, some components of the server may still exist in the HMI folder after you
restart the computer. This happens when the names of these components do not
exist in the archived HMI file. First reported in version 8.10.00. [354220]
- The restore operation may fail when you overwrite an application that is open or in
use. The following error shows:
Restored Failed! 0x80009006
First reported in FactoryTalk Services Platform version 2.74.00. [352245]
To resolve this issue, follow the steps below:
In FactoryTalk Administration Console, delete the RSLinx Enterprise server.
In FactoryTalk Administration Console, delete the Tag Alarm and Event server.
Close FactoryTalk Administration Console and FactoryTalk View Studio.
In Application Manager, delete the application.
After the application is deleted successfully, try to restore the application again.
Find and Replace
- East Asian languages do not show correctly
There is a possibility that some object properties that are configured in character
sets for east Asian languages such as Chinese or Japanese, will display a question
mark in the result list when you use the Find and Replace, Cross Reference or
Undo feature. First reported in version 7.00.00. [338894]
To resolve this problem, go to Control Panel -> Regional and Language
Options, and select the appropriate language to match the language version
desired.
Graphic displays
- Applying color animations to an object group as well as to the individual objects in
the group causes unexpected behaviors. First reported in version 8.00.00. [346758]
To set up color animations for an object group, either apply the color animations to
the group, or to the individual objects in the group.
Graphic objects
- Cannot register or unregister Microsoft ActiveX® Control objects
When registering or unregistering an ActiveX Control object in FactoryTalk View
Studio with User Account Control (UAC) enabled on the operating system, an error
message shows. First reported in version 8.00.00. [346124]
To avoid this problem, before registering or unregistering an ActiveX Control object,
do one of the following:
- Cannot save animation expression changes
If the expression setting for the animation property of the base object is empty
when you change the LinkAnimation property of a reference object to Link without
expressions and change the expression setting for the animation property, the
expression setting change cannot be saved. First reported in version 6.00.00.
[272937]
To avoid this issue, fill in a valid value in the expression setting for the animation
property of the base object first.
- If you copy and paste a PNG image into an application, the image might appear
blurred. First reported in version 7.00.00. [337726]
To avoid this issue, import the image into the Image folder first, and then insert the
image into the application from the Image folder.
HMI server
- VBA execution may pause temporarily while an HMI server is replicating. First
reported in version 7.00.00. [361749]
- During replication some project information may fail to replicate to secondary
servers. First reported in version 8.00.00. [347733]
To resolve this issue, restart these secondary servers and replicate again. If the
replication still fails, cancel the redundancy configuration and delete HMI project
from secondary servers, restart secondary servers, and configure the redundancy
again.
- If you configure NIC speed remotely, to Auto, (rather than to 100 Mb Full), it
doubles the amount of time to open the tag editor. First reported in version 6.10.00.
[270579]
To avoid this issue, we recommend that you configure NIC speed to the highest
value possible.
Installation
- Cannot continue with the installation because of IIS
If you have mapped IP addresses to host names in the
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file, the invalid mapping could stop IIS
from being installed. The following message is displayed:
IIS is not installed correctly. Install cannot continue.
First reported in version 7.00.00. [338385]
To resolve this issue, update the entries in the hosts file to include the correct IP
addresses and host names. Alternatively, place a # symbol in front of the entries so
that they are not used and are not validated as part of the IIS installation.
- The Client Install Portal feature cannot be added or installed in the Program
Maintenance mode from Control Panel. First reported in version 8.10.00. [346940]
To avoid this issue, make sure to select the Client Install Portal check box at the
first time if you plan to use this feature.
- Unexpected message is displayed during upgrading
When upgrading FactoryTalk View version 6.00 or 6.10 to 9.00, the following
message may be shown:
The following installed products are dependent on this installed
package and may not function properly if this package is
uninstalled
First reported in version 9.00.00. [363810]
To resolve this problem, click Yes on the dialog box and continue with the
upgrading.
Operating systems
- When running FactoryTalk View SE redundant applications on Windows 10
Professional or Enterprise v1607 operating systems, initiating a network
connectivity break by disabling NIC adaptors in Device Manager can cause
application failures requiring a restart of the application. This issue was introduced
in the Windows 10 v1607 feature build. First reported in version 9.00.00. [363223]
To avoid this problem, run the Microsoft Hotfix outlined in Answer ID 964391 in the
Rockwell Automation Knowledgebase. This hotfix will be released in the December
2016 or January 2017 Windows Update pack. Alternatively, you can run Windows
10 v1511 where this issue is not present.
- Slow network communication performance because of IPv6
If IPv6 is not supported or is disabled in your network environment, when you use
FactoryTalk View Studio on Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 R2,
or Windows Server 2012, the network communication performance may be slow.
First reported in version 8.00.00. [347310]
To resolve this issue, you may need to disable IPv6 on your computer or enable
IPv6 in your network environment. Contact your IT department for details.
- System and HMI tags are wireframed
If your system is experiencing HMI tag failures and wireframing, you may have a
port conflict. Check the event log for the message: "Unable to establish
connection with Live Data using TCP/IP protocol. Port may be in use
by another process." The HMI tag failures could occur on any operating system
but due to dynamic port range changes, this issue could occur more often on
Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008. First reported in version 5.10.00. [264248]
To resolve this, you will need to manually change the port. See Answer ID 61064
in the Rockwell Automation Knowledgebase for additional information on how to do
this.
- On Microsoft Surface® tablets, the press and hold gesture may not open a component’s menu if the component is a text box. First reported in FactoryTalk View 9.00.00. [362400]
To avoid this problem, use a mouse and right-click the component to open the menu.
ODBC databases
- The datalog cannot log data
If a FactoryTalk View SE datalog becomes disconnected from a remote ODBC
database and then eventually becomes reconnected, it fails to continue logging
data to the ODBC database. First reported in version 8.20.00. [359289]
To resolve this issue, follow the steps below:
In the datalog configuration, specify a backup ODBC database. If a disconnection occurs to the primary ODBC database, the logging of data will now continue to the backup ODBC database.
The connection to the primary ODBC database has recovered and you do not have a backup ODBC database configured. To make the datalog resume logging to the primary ODBC database, issue the command Datalogoff <name of datalog> and then the command Datalogon <name of datalog>.
See Answer ID 747699 in the Rockwell Automation Knowledgebase for additional
information.
- Microsoft SQL Server memory usage continues to increase until there is a memory
leak as users perform find, replace, cross reference, or other data access
operation. First reported in FactoryTalk View version 7.00.00. [275064, 338937]
To avoid this memory leak problem, install SQL Server with FactoryTalk View
installation media and the max server memory property for SQL Server will be
automatically configured to 500 MB. See Answer ID 519779 in the Rockwell Automation Knowledgebase for more information.
Software components
- Cannot restore KEPServer
Updating to the new KEPServer Enterprise version, V5.7, may require updating the
OPC Data Server configuration after a restoring an application file. First reported in
version 6.10.00. [276028]
To resolve this issue, on the OPC Data Server configuration tab, update the
computer name then restart the computer before browsing for the new Prog ID for
KEPServer Enterprise.
Trend objects
- If FactoryTalk View uses RSLinx Enterprise as the communication server, the
Trend object cannot display historical values of SINT tags. First reported in version
7.00.00. [266629]
To resolve this issue, do any of the following:
- Timeout may occur when you try to load large amounts of data points from an
ODBC data source such as SQL Server, and the Trend object does not show the
historical data. First reported in version 7.00.00. [343026]
To resolve this issue, open the Registry Editor, update the key
DatalogOdbcDbTimeout to a larger value in the following two locations, and try
again:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Rockwell Software\RSView Enterprise\Data
Log
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Rockwell Software\RSView Enterprise\Data Log
Trend Pro objects
- One hour datalog data is not displayed on the trend chart
When switching from Daylight Saving Time back to Standard Time, you will see two
1:00 hours on the trend chart of a Trend Pro object. If you trend data from data
logs, one hour data is not displayed on the trend chart and seems to be lost. All
data actually is in the database and no data is lost. First reported in version
9.00.00. [363699]
To view the data that is not displayed, add a real-time trace to the chart. For more
information, see Rockwell Automation Knowledgebase Answer ID 39658.
Functional Changes
This release has the following functional changes from the previous release.
FactoryTalk View SE version 9.00.00 has the following changes in functionality since the last release.
Unattended installation syntax
The command line syntax of unattended installation has been changed to match the
FactoryTalk View installation changes.
For more information, see Appendix E, "Use unattended installation" in FactoryTalk View
Site Edition Installation Guide.
Adobe Acrobat Reader
The Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® is removed from FactoryTalk View installation media
and will need to be installed manually from the Adobe website
https://get.adobe.com/reader/ .
SQL Server installation
During the installation of FactoryTalk View, if the installer detects that there is not a
compatible SQL Server available on the computer, the installer installs SQL Server 2008
R2 Express Service Pack 2 (32-bit) with a mixed authentication to store HMI tag data
and adds the current Windows user to the SQL Administrators group.
Legacy Tag Database Conversion tool
To use the tool, you must run it as an administrator.
FTVIEWUSER Account Reset tool
To change or reset the password, the current Windows logged on user must be granted
the sysadmin server role in SQL Server. For assistance, contact your administrators.
FactoryTalk View SE Custom Website Setup tool
FactoryTalk View SE Secure Web Site Setup tool has been renamed to FactoryTalk
View SE Custom Website Setup tool.
Application Notes
This release has the following application notes.
The following are the application notes for FactoryTalk View SE version 9.00.00.
Considerations for application server host computers
In a network application, it is possible for a single server computer that meets the
recommended requirements to host all of the following components:
- One FactoryTalk View SE Server
- One RSLinx Enterprise data server (which can also be set up as FactoryTalk
Alarms and Events device-based alarm server)
- One RSLinx Classic OPC-DA server (or some other OPC data server)
- One FactoryTalk Alarms and Events Tag based alarm Server
- The FactoryTalk Network Directory
If a network application requires multiple HMI servers, data servers, or alarm servers, to
distribute the load, it is recommended that you install the necessary software and run the
servers on multiple host computers.
Running more than one HMI server on a single computer is not recommended. If you
plan to deploy a network application that uses more than two servers (or two pairs of
redundant servers) and 20 clients, it is recommended that you contact your local
Rockwell Automation Sales office for architectural assistance. For information about
setting up redundant FactoryTalk View SE Servers, see Chapter 14, Setting up
FactoryTalk system availability of the FactoryTalk View Site Edition User’s Guide.
Find and Replace
If an HMI server at the root node of an SE Network distributed application has the same
name as the application itself, the Find and Replace feature search results might include
the application name even though you performed the search at the HMI server level.
FactoryTalk Diagnostics
FactoryTalk Diagnostics cannot log to a remote database using Microsoft Access. You
can only log to a local database using Microsoft Access.
HMI project folder does not replicate to secondary HMI Server
This issue can be caused by a couple of situations. One cause could be the size of the
HMI project file being larger than the maximum allowable file transfer size. The other
cause could be the replication taking longer than the default time limit of 20 minutes.
- When the project size is larger than the file transfer size limit of 500,000,000 bytes
Use these steps to change the limit size to an acceptable value.
Select Start > Programs > Accessories, right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
At the command prompt, type cd /d %windir%\system32\inetsrv and then press Enter.
Type appcmd.exe set config "Default Web Site/RSViewSE/" /section:System.webServer/security/requestFiltering /
requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:500000000 /commit:apphost, with no returns, and press Enter.
Note:
The 500000000 in the previous example should be changed to at least the size of the actual project, or a little larger than the size of the project.
At the command prompt, type exit and press Enter.
- When the amount of time required to complete replication is longer than 20 minutes
Set the MaxReplicationWaitTime registry key to a larger time limit value. The
registry key can be set from 1 to 600 (minutes). This registry key needs to be set
on both the FactoryTalk View Studio and Secondary HMI server computers. The
registry key locates:
For complete details about this topic, see Answer ID 38407 in the Rockwell Automation
Knowledgebase.
Pre-installation configuration
Before you install FactoryTalk View SE, there are a number of steps required to set up
the installation environment. This will help ensure that the installation proceeds smoothly
and that your new or upgraded FactoryTalk system operates as expected. For detailed
information about pre-requisites before installation, see Chapter 3, Pre-installation
configuration of FactoryTalk View Site Edition Installation Guide.
For information on the security considerations when using Rockwell Automation
products, including:
Tag Browser
If you rename an HMI server while you are deploying an application, you may need to
restart the computer in order to have the HMI tags show up in the Tag Browser.
Tools and utilities
- In the DeskLock utility, all Windows hot keys are disabled except the Windows
Logo + L combination, which still locks the Windows Desktop. This is found in the
Windows 7 Professional and Windows 2008 operating systems.
- In the Tag Import and Export Wizard, you are recommended to close the running
project while importing a tag CSV file containing large amounts of tags and alarms.
Otherwise, you will need to wait a few minutes and the Server Busy Dialog box
may pop up.
Trend objects
The Trend objects cannot get the oldest data from FactoryTalk Historian server when
you click the Oldest Data button.
Trend Pro objects
- VBA TimePeriodDuration
In the Property Panel for the Trend control, if TimePeriodAbsoluteMode=True, if
you change the value for TimePeriodDuration, it will revert back to the duration
value based on the difference between the TimePeriodStart and TimePeriodEnd
values because there is no way to determine if the duration should be applied to
the Start or End time period. If you change the TimePeriodStart and
TimePeriodEnd values, the duration automatically updates.
- VBA ActiveYAxisMaxValue and ActiveYAxisMinValue
In this release, you cannot change the property for ActiveYAxisMaxValue or
ActiveYAxisMinValue at DesignTime or Runtime.
UAC support
Turning off User Account Control (UAC) is not recommended.
