What is the status of RSView32?
 Do I have to migrate - is RSView32 going away?
 No - RSView32 will be supported as long as 32-bit systems
are available
 RSView32 v7.60 does provide support for Windows 7 32-bit
 However, there are no plans for RSView32 to support 64-bit
operating systems
 If moving to 64-bit systems, you will need to either migrate to
FactoryTalk View SE or employ a solution such as
virtualization
 Many RSView32 systems are deployed on computers with
Windows XP – IT departments may have notified the plant to
develop a migration plan
PUBLIC

Benefits of migrating to
FactoryTalk View SE
 Application development tools
 Redundancy
 FactoryTalk Live Data and Direct
Referencing
 FactoryTalk Services Platform
 Audit trails and e-signature for
regulatory compliance
 FactoryTalk ViewPoint
 Client-side VBA (client-stored and
executed)
 Information product integration with

About FactoryTalk View Studio
 FactoryTalk View Studio is the single development environment for both
FactoryTalk View SE and ME
 Is also the tool used to migrate RSView32 applications to FactoryTalk View SE

 Four types of applications can be created in FactoryTalk View Studio
 Network Distributed (SE) - multi-client, multi-server application with components
running on different machines
 Network Station (SE) – single-client application with all components running on one
machine, but with the ability to connect to system components on remote machines
 Local Station (SE) – single-client application with all components running on a single
machine
 FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME) – application that runs on either a
PanelView Plus terminal or on a PC running FactoryTalk View ME Station

PUBLIC

Moving to a 64-bit system
 Be aware that a 64-bit OS requires FT View SE v6.1 or later
 RSView32 does NOT support 64-bit operating systems
 Neither do pre-v6.1 versions of FT View SE / ME
 In v6.1 of FactoryTalk View, database format changed to support 64-bit
 Now based on SQL Server
 Older projects need the tag DB converted before use on 64-bit OS
 Couple ways to do this:
 Open older View SE project in v6.1 or later - automatically converts
DB
 Use the Legacy Tag Database Conversion Tool to convert tag DB

Legacy Tag Database Conversion Summary
 Users who do not plan to use FactoryTalk View on a 64-bit OS do not
need to use the utility!
 Opening a pre-v6.1 project in FactoryTalk View v6.1 or 7.0 on a 32-bit
OS will automatically convert the tag database to SQL Server 2008 R2
Express
 Importing an RSView32 project into FactoryTalk View v6.1 or 7.0 (32bit) will also automatically convert the tag database
 Users who are planning to use pre-v6.1 FactoryTalk View projects on a 64bit OS are required to use the utility
