To run a local station application, the FactoryTalk View SE Client must run on the same
computer as the HMI server.
If you have already set up a FactoryTalk View SE Client file for the application, you can
copy the file to the production computer. Otherwise, you can create a new client file.
Creating a new FactoryTalk View SE Client file
FactoryTalk View SE Client configuration files specify the name of the application the
client will connect to, the components that start when the connection is made, and how the
client will behave at run time.
To create a new client file, use the FactoryTalk View SE Client Wizard. You can also use
the wizard to modify or run an existing client file, or to remove a client from the list of
available files.
To create a new FactoryTalk View SE Client file
1. On the desktop click Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk
View, and then click FactoryTalk View Site Edition Client.
2. In the FactoryTalk View SE Client Wizard, click New, and then follow the on-screen
instructions. For details about options in the wizard, click Help.
The client file is created with a .cli extension, in the location you specified.
Locking operators into the run-time environment
To lock operators into the FactoryTalk View SE Client at run time, for example, to prevent
access to other programs on the computer, try one or more of the following methods:
 Limit the ability to manipulate graphic displays, by removing the title bar or
minimize and maximize buttons from selected displays.
To do this, in the Display Settings dialog box, clear the check boxes Title Bar,
Minimize Button, and Maximize Button. For details, see Chapter 16, Creating
graphic displays in the FactoryTalk View Site Edition User’s Guide.
 Limit the ability to manipulate the client window, by removing the title bar or
minimize and maximize buttons from the client.
To do this, in the FactoryTalk View SE Client wizard, clear the check boxes, Show
title bar, and Show system menu and close button. For details, click Help in the
FactoryTalk View SE Client wizard.
It is not necessary to start the HMI server if you want to use the FactoryTalk View SE Client
Wizard.
