1. The HMI server, which is the HMI project and contains all of the graphics, recipes, etc. for a logically defined area of the HMI system.

3. The HMI client which visualize information to the user and can accept user input to be sent to the controller.

4. The FactoryTalk Directory, which acts as the “look up” service for an application to find what computer is hosting which component.

5. FactoryTalk View Studio, allows users to create applications in a single design environment.

2. The Data server, which sends and receives data from a data source - usually a controller.

Overview Drawing of FactoryTalk View Site Edition (Network) - Workgroup

In this example of a distributed system in a workgroup configuration, there are 6 clients each on their own computer. Two server computers, one with an HMI server and one with a

Data server. The FactoryTalk Directory is on its own computer. This is just an example, and other combinations of HMI servers, data server, FactoryTalk Directory and HMI clients could be used.

Note: The HMI and Data servers can be running on one computer:

The FactoryTalk Directory is on its own computer.

For a typical system using RSLinx Enterprise as a data server, there can be 20 CLX, PLC, or SLC controllers and a total of 20,000 tags. For an RSLinx Classic data server there can be 10 CLX controllers or 20 PLC/SLC controllers and a total of 10,000 tags.
