Deploying network station applications
After you finish developing and testing a FactoryTalk View Site Edition network station
application, you can deploy it to run in a live setting, such as the plant floor. Deploying a
network station application involves installing all FactoryTalk View SE software
components on the application’s host computer.
For details about installing the software, see Chapter 4, Installing FactoryTalk View.
For details about the structure and content of network station applications, see Chapter 8,
Working with local station applications in the FactoryTalk View Site Edition User’s
Guide.
Overview of tasks: deploying network station applications
The checklist in this section summarizes the basic tasks involved in deploying a

If appropriate, add or remove details to create a customized procedure that reflects the
design and content of your FactoryTalk View application. For example, your application
might include additional communications or database servers so you may need to repeat
these steps accordingly.
