Viewing Data Collection Status
The Status section shows whether Data Collection is running or stopped. The Data
Collection service is optimized to collect as many points as possible based on scan
rates.

Running - indicates that the Data Collection interface is currently collecting and
archiving data.

Stopped - indicates that the Data Collection interface is currently stopped. Data is
not being collected.
Stopping and re-starting Data Collection after creating tags is recommended for
optimal performance.
Starting and Stopping Data Collection
You must have administrator privileges to start or stop Data Collection in the module.
To start the Data Collection interface:
1. Click Configure Historian in the top navigation bar. The Data Collection page
opens automatically.
2. Click [Start].
To stop the Data Collection interface:
1. Click Configure Historian in the top navigation bar. The Data Collection page
opens automatically.
2. Click [Stop].
You can also start and stop Data Collection using the FactoryTalk Historian ME
Add-on Profile (AOP) module properties Configuration tab in RSLogix 5000. If
the module is running normally the Startup button will not be enabled. It is only
enabled if the module is shut down. Starting up the module in AOP will reboot the
module and restart the Data Collection service.
Make sure that Data Collection has fully stopped before starting it again. This may take a
few minutes.
See the “Using the AOP Module Properties Configuration Tab” section in the
“Collecting Data” appendix for more information.
