Use controller instruction faceplates
Controller instruction faceplates are pre-configured graphic displays and global object
displays that interact with Logix5000 processors.
Controller instruction faceplates contain graphic objects that display values from a
Logix5000 processor and allow operators to interact with the processor. You can use the
faceplate graphic displays as stand-alone displays, or copy the faceplate objects into other
graphic displays. If desired, you can edit the objects in the faceplates. For example, you
might want to add your company logo or change the colors used in the faceplates.
To use a controller instruction faceplate, you must add it to your application and specify
the path to the Logix5000 processor instructions used by the faceplate. The faceplates are
set up so that you can specify the path to the instructions using parameter files. For more
information, see the Help for the faceplates, accessible from the Add Controller
Instruction Faceplates dialog box.
FactoryTalk View Studio comes with sets of faceplates that work with these Logix5000
instructions:
 Enhanced PID (Logix_PIDE)
 Discrete 2-State Device (Logix_D2SD)
 Discrete 3-State Device (Logix_D3SD)
 Totalizer (Logix_TOT)
