The RemoteView program gives users access to any GUI application program stored on the control or on a local PC.
Alternatively, different GUI programs can be created and stored for use and viewing by only operators and or only
plant engineering & maintenance personnel. Once a specific GUI application program is loaded and its panel view
options can be set to allow viewing of only the screens, a full mimic of the front panel display, or a simple minimal
keypad (as shown below). This program also includes a slide bar tool to allow users to scale the view to the desired
window size to meet their PC or touch panel screen size.

In addition to “Monitor Only” viewing modes, the RemoteView program supports any user level that is setup within
the application program (performed via Woodward’s AppManager Service Tool program). For Woodward’s standard
control offerings, these modes are Monitor, Operator, Service, and Configure. Refer to Figure 3.
Note: the Operator, Service, & Configure modes include password-based security, allowing only users with the
correct password access to enter these special operational modes.

Licensing
The RemoteView software program can be used with or without a user license. The software program will shut down
after 120 minutes and must be restarted without a user license. When a user license is purchased and correctly
installed on the same computer running the RemoteView software program, this program will continue to operate
indefinitely. This configuration allows users who simply want to use the RemoteView program as an engineering
workstation or commissioning tool to do so without purchasing a license, and allows users who want to utilize this
GUI software program as an operator control panel to do so by simply purchasing and installing a user license.

RemoteView Application Development

RemoteView GUI application programs are created and modified using Woodward’s Control Interface Studio (CIS)
development tool. Depending on the specific Woodward controller users may or may not be able to use Woodward’s
CIS development tool to create or change the controls GUI application program. Woodward’s standard-off-the-shelf
controls (i.e. Peak200, 505, Vertex) utilize a standard and protected program, which is changeable only by
Woodward. However, users utilizing Woodward’s custom controllers (i.e. Flex500, Flex505, MicroNet+) can utilize
Woodward’s Control Interface Studio tool to create and modify GUI application programs for these respective control
platforms. Refer to below section for specific development tool access and license ordering information.
