Just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing I am with Rockwell FTView ME runtime. I'm running it on a panel mount industrial PC and it takes over 4 minutes for it to load the .MER, and a similar amount of time to unload it if I go to config. mode and try to exit ME.
To preempt questions of why I'm not using a PanelViewPlus, it's because I have some additional applications needed for this project, specifically an SQL database and a reporting tool, so we decided to go with the more flexible PC platform.
I called Rockwell tech support and the technician told me that a >4 minute wait is expected behavior and is what he sees on his system there. Apparently it has something to do with the FactoryTalk Directory being loaded/unloaded in the background.
Just curious if anyone else is seeing this. We spec'd FTView because another engineer in the office has a lot of familiarity with it, but it turns out he's used mostly SE which I don't think has this issue, we ended up with ME on this project to keep costs down...it's just a 15 display license for a small skid.
Not sure I'd use FTView again in the future...I'm thinking of trying Schneider Vijeo for the next job...if anyone has comments on that, I'd appreciate any feedback...is it better than FTView or does it have it's own quirks?
