What's New in FactoryTalk View SE 13

Troubleshooting and Support for FactoryTalk View SE Version 13 Older third-party OPC DA clients (pre-OPC UA) Legacy

• Older third-party OPC DA clients (pre-OPC UA)
• Legacy VB6 scripts making remote CreateObject calls
• Historian ME connections using unauthenticated DCOM

1. Use PlantPAx Objects: Rockwell’s Process Library (PlantPAx) for v13 includes pre-built faceplates for pumps, valves, VFDs, which are optimized for alarm shelving and modern graphics.
2. Avoid Display Client Caching Issues: In v13, clear display client cache after every major graphic change using the “Force Reload” button in the Client Configuration tool.
3. Leverage the Diagnostic Log Viewer: New in v13, this tool shows you exactly why a client failed to connect (certificate issue, wrong directory, network timeout).
4. Test Redundancy Simulated: Before going live, pull the network plug on your primary server – verify the secondary takes over without double alarm logging.
