FactoryTalk View Design and Deploy (8 hours)
More and more customers are turning
to a distributed FactoryTalk® View Site
Edition solution for their supervisory
visualisation needs. This technical workshop
will cover how best to align the services,
communications, and visualisation layers of
a system to design and deploy to meet your
customer’s needs.
PlantPAx Design and Deploy - (8 Hours)

Automation System is built on a standards-based
architecture by using Integrated Architecture™
components that enable multi-disciplined
control. Rockwell Automation prescribes a very
specific system architecture with defined system
elements, each with a specific responsibility and
detailed specifications. When proposing a PlantPAx
system, you need to be aware of the design
recommendations and components for a successful
implementation of a system. This one day course in
the design of a PlantPAx system at the bid / quotation
stage of a project will assist with understanding these
requirements and you can be confident the offering
is sized appropriately for the customers needs.
