This latest FactoryTalk VantagePoint software provides users a seamless way to access their Logix-based data by providing a simple, guided workflow to store and visualise information.
Everything from installation, configuration and visualisation has been enhanced and consolidated – so users can interact with their Logix-based control data from their device of choice: PC, tablet or smartphone. To promote intelligent decision-making, the new workflows enable authorized users to store and visualise specific data views and trends, and easily share these views with collaborators across the enterprise.
Additionally, FactoryTalk VantagePoint software will now silently install with FactoryTalk Historian SE software from Rockwell Automation. Upon completion, the user will be greeted with a VantagePoint mobile Web page, including the new import and configure options.
From any PC or tablet, a user can browse through the FactoryTalk Directory server to an online controller; select the tags from which they aim to collect associated data; and configure scan rates and additional historian parameters.
Once this process is complete, the selected tags are stored in the FactoryTalk Historian solution and automatically configured for the FactoryTalk VantagePoint software. By simultaneously configuring tags, a user within the VantagePoint mobile work flow makes a few simple selections in order to begin collecting data, and creating dashboards and trends.
The FactoryTalk VantagePoint v7.0 update also includes enhancements to the overall platform. The software now provides a vertical or horizontal bar chart, updated indicator widget, logarithmic trending, improved mobile navigation and Windows 10 support.
Also new, FactoryTalk VantagePoint v7.0 software offers SQL Server Express with install. This removes complex licensing options from the install process.
