HMI Development with FactoryTalk View SE and Studio 5000

In industrial automation, a well-designed Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is critical for monitoring and controlling complex processes. Developing the skills to build these interfaces using FactoryTalk View SE allows you to bridge the gap between operators and PLC control systems. This course guides you through the process of creating, configuring, and running a FactoryTalk View SE HMI project from scratch. You will learn how to establish communication with Studio 5000 controllers, design efficient graphic displays, manage tags, and implement modern HMI design standards for optimal operator situational awareness. What you'll learn: - Understand the core architecture of the FactoryTalk Directory and FactoryTalk View Studio. - Configure communication paths between your HMI application and Studio 5000 controllers. - Create and organize direct reference tags and HMI tag databases. - Design functional graphic displays using animation, live data, and control objects. - Apply modern high-performance HMI design concepts based on industry standards for better usability. - Configure basic security, user accounts, and runtime client settings for deployment. You will start with foundational industrial automation concepts and software navigation before progressing to communication setup, screen design, and runtime deployment. Through clear explanations and practical design scenarios, you will build the confidence to develop and maintain industrial HMI projects. This course is designed for beginners in industrial automation, maintenance technicians, and aspiring control systems engineers. No prior HMI development experience is required, though a basic familiarity with PLC concepts is helpful.
