FactoryTalk View Studio contains editors for creating complete applications, and includes
client and server software for testing the applications you create. Use the editors to create
applications that are as simple or as complex as you need.
FactoryTalk View SE Server
FactoryTalk View SE Server, also called the HMI server, stores HMI project components
(for example, graphic displays) and supplies them to clients. The server also contains a
database of tags, and performs alarm detection and historical data logging.
The FactoryTalk View SE Server has no user interface. Once installed, it runs as a set of
headless Windows services that supply information to clients as they request it.
FactoryTalk View SE Client
FactoryTalk View SE Client is software for viewing and interacting with FactoryTalk
View SE local station, network station, and network distributed applications at run time.
Use the FactoryTalk View SE Client Wizard to create client configuration files that can be
deployed to client host computers. For details, see the FactoryTalk View SE Client Help.
