.rsv File Extension

Developer: Rockwell Automation

File type: RSView32 Project File

You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .rsv. Files with the file extension .rsv can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .rsv files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .rsv file?

An RSView32 project file is implemented with source code compilation standards developed by Rockwell Automation, and these RSView32 project files are also integrated with encoding specifications used to store these data files in the RSV file format, which is also proprietary to Rockwell Automation. Affixed with the .rsv extension, these RSView32 project files can be created with the RSView32 software, an application designed to control machine-generated processes. The RSView32 program can also be implemented to monitor these machine processes. The data stored in these RSView32 project files may include components or objects used for the GUI (Graphical User Interface) of the application, machine connection configurations or settings and source code data. These RSView32 project files are developed to author human-machine interfaces integrated into applications designed for controlling and monitoring processes facilitated by associated machines. The RSView32 application is required to reference the associated data stored in an RSView32 project file that is currently being viewed by a user with the RSView32 program.

how to open a .rsv file?

Launch a .rsv file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .rsv file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .rsv files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .rsv file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .rsv file will open the correct application.

applications that open a .rsv file

Rockwell Automation RSView32

The Rockwell Automation RSView32 is a component-based HMI used in monitoring and controlling automation machines and processes. Its HMI software opens graphic displays as ACtiveZ controls’ OLE containers that allow dropping of ready-made solutions into projects, it develops object models to allow RSView32 to inter operate with other component-based products. HMI software also integrated Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications as the built-in programming language which gave numerous options for customizing RSView32 projects, it supports OPC standards as a client and a server to enable communication with various hardware devices and it implemented the add-on architecture technology (AOA) for additional function and features to RSView32. Through the AOA components, users can separately install add-ons like the RSView32 Messenger that allows alarm annunciation, paging and also includes messaging tools, RSView32 TrendX for real-time monitoring of data and provides data log history, RSView32 SPC for real-time statistical process control, RSView32 RecipePro used in recipe management control, and the RSLadder that displays ladder logic processors like the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 and PLC-5.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .rsv files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .rsv. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
