A.1 Rockwell MobileView Support
A.1.4 Software
The end user and integrator must use caution and do appropriate testing
when deploying .APA files to different devices. Test each device to make
sure the appropriate access is granted, paying special attention to match
the criteria mentioned in this section.
FactoryTalk View project files (.APA) are provided with every MLX200
system. Two sets of files were created to help the integrator enforce
“single point of control” requirements. This will be explained after the file
names. The files will be named similarly to this: <subject to change>
• MLX200_HMI_ForMobileView.APA
– As the name suggested, software should be installed in the
MobileView. This HMI will allow access to all of the jogging and
teaching features available. There will be no limitation to screen
access when the appropriate user login is used.
• MLX200_HMI_ForPCorPanelView.APA
– Software should be installed in any remote stations, like
PanelView HMI displays. This display software will not allow
access to Teaching or Jogging functions when the “teach pendant
connected jumper” is active. The intent here is enforce “single
point of control”, by allowing only one interface to jog the robot. It
is critical that the jumper is wired appropriately and that this
software is used in PanelView stations!
The default resolution of the MLX200 HMI Project is 640x480. This should
be changed to match the desired resolution for the MobileView
(1280x800). This can be done under the “Project Settings” in Factory Talk
View Studio, after making the change all screens will automatically scale
to the new size.

End user and integrator must do appropriate testing when deploying
.APA files to different devices.
This responsibility lies entirely on the end user and integrator.
