PanelView Plus 6 running FactoryTalk View Studio v6.0

Launch Overview
Summary:
The PanelView Plus operator interface was first launched in 2003, and was considered one of the most advanced products in the market place, providing both a hardware and software platform for factory automation. The PanelView Plus has continued to be an integral part of the Integrated Architecture, providing operators at the machine level a view into the control system. The unique modular design of the PanelView Plus and advanced graphic capabilities have been adopted by many end users and OEMs over the past 7 years. Customers have had years of experience with this rugged, dedicated system and know that an architecture with the PanelView Plus is tested and true with their industrial application. Recent advancements in technology enabled Rockwell Automation to take the PanelView Plus to the next level in Industrial Automations operator interface. When developing a dedicated terminal a solid operating system is critical. This is why Microsoft Windows CE 6.0 was chosen as the next OS. All prior releases of CE were constrained by a 32 megabyte processing limit, restraining applications size and performance. Hardware advancements were also critical and have advanced from 650MHz to 1GHz processor and from 64Mb flash/ram to 512 Mb flash/ram. These changes along with feature enhancements are all part of the PanelView Plus 6. These enhancements include: Complete Symbol Factory Library Built-in PDF viewer Remote recipe and data management with ability to save data in .csv format Last-Known-Good (LKG) and Factory Default Reset Function Built-in full-Unicode font to support multiple languages with a single run-time applicationwithout font-linking Greater connectivity to peripherals

Market Potential
The worldwide market for Graphic Operator Terminals in the 700-1500 range is $605 million with the following breakouts: North America - $124m, Latin America - $22m , EMEA - $163m , Asia Pacific - $295m

Target Customers, Industries, Applications

Profile 5: Customers that used PanelView Plus in the past but have moved to a competitors offering. The introduction of the PanelView Plus 6 takes the existing hardware and software platform and leapfrogs past the competition. In the past competitors have released operator interfaces that were more powerful, with more advanced features, than the current PanelView Plus. The increase in processing power and use of Microsoft CE 6 as the operating system has changed the game. Introduce the PanelView Plus 6 to these customers and demonstrate the new enhancements. Profile 6: Customers using white box PCs (non-RA) who have had issues with corruption from power cycling and can benefit from higher memory capacity in the dedicated system. Who not to target Customers currently using PanelView Compact, PanelView Plus 400 and 600 or PanelView Plus should not be targeted. Continue to lead with these products for these customers where panel space and cost is critical, sell up to the PanelView Plus 6 only when applicable or under competitive pressure. Customers using Rockwell Automation Industrial PCs.

Positioning Strategy
PanelView Plus 6 is positioned as a premium product in the market place with a corresponding market leading price in most parts of the world. This is consistent with the competitive positioning of past PanelView Plus products. It is important to note that when Rockwell implements its 2010 price increase, the PanelView Plus 6 line will carry list price levels that match the Q3 2010 price levels for PVP. PVP list price will increase by 3% - 7%, so in effect, the PanelView Plus 6 will be priced lower than PanelView Plus even though it has a higher feature set. The intent is to convert customers to the new platform as soon as possible. With respect to the competition, the market continues to stratify. At the high end, competitors such as Siemens, Schneider and Mitsubishi offer similar solutions to PanelView Plus 6. The newest features for PanelView Plus 6 combined with premier integration to Rockwell Controllers give Rockwell the edge. At the opposite end of the scale are competitors such as Maple Systems, Red Lion, Proface and Automation Direct. While these products have a lower feature set, they do offer value in basic applications that require few screens and a low number of alarms. While PanelView Plus 6 is a superior solution, customers that make price their number one priority when selecting a product may not appreciate the extensive capabilities. For those applications the PanelView Plus Compact line would be an appropriate solution.
