# About controller instruction faceplates

Controller instruction faceplates have been provided in FactoryTalk View Machine Edition to help you reduce your development time. These displays can be easily added to your application and quickly connected to your Logix 5000 instructions, enabling you to get up and running with minimal effort.

Adding faceplate displays to an application affects the license count. Each added faceplate display (.gfx file) counts as one display for activation purposes. The corresponding global object display (.ggfx file) does not add to the total license count.

Controller instruction faceplates provide:

- Sets of Faceplates that work with the following Logix 5000 instructions:
  - Enhanced PID (Logix_PIDE)
  - Discrete 2-State Device (Logix_D2SD)
  - Discrete 3-State Device (Logix_D3SD)
  - Totalizer (Logix_TOT)
  - Enhanced Select (Logix_ESEL)
  - Alarm (Logix_ALM)
  - Alarm Analog (Logix_ALMA)
  - Alarm Digital (Logix_ALMD)
  - Ramp/Soak (Logix_RMPS)
  - PhaseManager (Logix_PhaseManager)
- A consistent look and feel across all displays
- Global objects that can be re-used in your own displays
