Product Overview

RSView32 Software

RSView32 is an integrated, component-based HMI software package for monitoring and controlling automation machines and processes. RSView32 expands your view with open technologies that provide unprecedented connectivity to other Rockwell Software products, Microsoft products, and third-party applications.

Benefits

• Provides tools to maximize productivity, including runtime simulation, editing individual objects in a group, animation, tag reuse, and substitution, online updates, screen security, and easy import of graphics.
  
• Integrate third-party ActiveX controls and Visual Basic applications to customize and extend RSView32 projects.
  
• Supports OPC standards as both a server and a client for fast, reliable communications with a wide variety of hardware devices from multiple vendors.
  
• Provides preferred compatibility to Rockwell Automation products to capture, control, and convey plant floor data.
  
• Remotely open, run, and interact with RSView32 graphic displays from virtually any computer on a network with RSView32 Active Display System™.
  
• View graphic displays, tags, and alarms through any standard Internet browser with RSView WebServer™.
  

Product Design

RSView32 is the first HMI software to:

• Open its graphic displays as OLE containers for ActiveX controls.
  
• Develop an object model to expose portions of its core functionality, allowing RSView32 to interoperate easily with other component-based software products.
  
• Integrate Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) as a built-in programming language.
  
• Support OPC standards as both a server and client for fast, reliable communications with a variety of hardware devices.
  
• Implement Add-On Architecture (AOA) technology to expand the functionality and integrate new features into the RSView32 software.
  

RSView Active Display System is a client/server application that adds on to and extends the reach of your RSView32 HMI software. With RSView32 Active Display System, you can view and control your RSView32 projects from remote locations.

RSView32 WebServer allows anyone with a valid RSView32 user account to access snapshot views of graphic displays, tags, and alarms through any standard web browser.

RSView32 redefined the meaning of HMI core features with its add-on architecture (AOA). AOA technology expands RSView32's functionality by integrating new software components directly into RSView32. Customize RSView32's feature set by installing only those components you need.
