What is a runtime file on a panel view?

Note: The files on the PanelView HMI are called “Runtime” files and have the .mer file extension. The runtime file is generated using the FactoryTalk View Studio ME development software. When generating a runtime file for a PanelView, care must be taken to make sure the runtime version is the same as the firmware version running on the PanelView HMI. i.e. Create a runtime in version 7 (*.mer file) to be transferred and run by a panelView with version 7 firmware.

How to check runtime communications?

To learn a little more about the system we can check the Runtime Communications by expanding “RSLinx Enterprise” in the project tree and double clicking on “Communication Setup”. Then on the top right section of the setup window click on the tab “Runtime (Target)”. This will display what devices the PanelView HMI is set up to communicate with. Depending on the setup of the system this could display the IP addresses and network layout of multiple PLCs being used.

How long is the grace period for FactoryTalk View Studio?

Note: FactoryTalk View Studio software does require a valid activation to be present, however, the software will run in a fully functional grace period of 7 days starting from the first time the software is started. If the software was installed in a virtual machine, it would now be a good time to make a copy of the VM before opening any of the newly installed Rockwell Software. That way, the 7 day grace period hasn’t been activated yet and there would not be a need to sit through software installation again in the future if there was a saved “base” copy of the VM. Then use the new copy as a “working” VM.

How to open a file in PanelView?

To the right of the Source File: field, click the ellipses “…” button. This will open a pop-up of the applications currently residing on the PanelView’s Internal Storage. Select a file name and click “OK”.
