Import Wizard for FactoryTalk™ ME/SE (Add-On)
Benefits
- Minimize cost of migration from FactoryTalk™ to InduSoft Web Studio by
automatically converting FactoryTalk™ ME/SE applications to InduSoft Web
Studio (graphical interface, communication interface, tags, etc).
- Leverage the InduSoft Web Studio native features, such as Studio Mobile Access
(SMA) Thin Clients based on HTML5, after converting the application.
Note: Manual adjustments can be done after executing the automatic conversion. Designed with FactoryTalk™ v8.10.
