Note: You can create a maximum of 2500 data points per FactoryTalk
Historian ME Module. If you exceed 2500 data points, the Create button

data points.
Follow these steps to create points in FactoryTalk Historian ME:

Select the tags you want to create by checking the box next to
the tag name. To select all tags in the list, Check the All/None
checkbox.
2. Click [Create].

found in the ControlLogix Controller. The
tag name is a combination of the
ControlLogix project name added as the
prefix to the controller tag name.
Type This column displays the ControlLogix
