RSAutomation Desktop™ provides a single control-system design platform to build, customize, and manage an automation project. Controls and Maintenance Engineers, Technicians, and others can use RSAutomation Desktop to integrate Rockwell Software and third-party products and produce control systems through interface centralization, version control and archiving, software management technology, as well as to add other system features to help design and implement their automation projects.

Other features include:

• Collaboration of multiple users on a project.
• Users can reuse work generated in HMI, logic, documentation, etc. by combining related data into templates that are saved and reused at a later time.
• Tight integration of logic, HMI and documentation.
• Project versioning, archiving and deployment tools.
• Ability to cross reference and view specifications, standards, manuals and other documents within the project.
• Ability for project team members to use any workstation and open their own view of the project.
• Full customization of the software including the ability to add template support to third-party products.

While used solely for improving time to market, quality, productivity and ease of use, other benefits that can be obtained from using RSAutomation Desktop include:

• Lower total cost of ownership of Rockwell Software Applications.
• Improved automation project quality by the elimination of manual operations such as tag copying, I/O translation between logic and HMI, and the ability to reuse proven/tested objects of HMI, logic, documentation, etc.
• Faster project completion through work reuse, better collaboration of project team members and reduction of manual project steps.
• Improved user productivity through the management and integration of Rockwell and 3rd party applications in one desktop application.

RSView® Supervisory Edition is one of two components of the RSView Enterprise Series. The RSView Enterprise Series bridges the gap between machine-level and supervisory-level systems to give users a more efficient, productive, and cost-efficient solution at all levels of the enterprise. Designed for scalability and integration between machine and supervisory levels, Enterprise Series products are designed with a common look, feel, and navigation to speed development and training time while reducing your total cost of ownership. RSView Supervisory Edition (SE) is an HMI for supervisory-level monitoring and control applications. It has a distributed and scalable architecture that supports distributed-server/multi-user applications, giving maximum control over information everywhere you want it. This highly-scalable architecture can be applied to a stand-alone one-server/one-user application or to multiple users interfacing with multiple servers.

Supervisory Edition Features:

• Supervisory-level component of ViewAnyWare™
• Preferred compatibility with Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk architecture
• Direct referencing of controller tags
• Multi-user, distributed server
• Remote and multi-user configuration
• VBA in graphics for maximum client control
• RSLinx and OPC data server redundancy
• Microsoft Windows 2000 compatible

Supervisory Edition Benefits:

• This highly scalable architecture can be applied to a stand-alone one server/one client application, or to multiple clients interfacing with multiple servers.
• Common Look and Feel with RSView Studio
• Remote Configuration of Global Applications
• Seamless interoperability among Rockwell products with FactoryTalk architecture..
• Direct Data Referencing
• RSView SE uses Windows security, so you set up your users and groups in Windows, and then you can grant rights to those same users and groups in Supervisory Edition.
• RSView SE provides core features such as security, graphic displays, alarming, activity and alarm logging, TrendX trending, and more.
• And much more!
