defined rule file is set to 2000 tag points when LogixControllers is selected as a
data source. The LogixController option includes all ControlLogix controllers. To
change the item count, and, therefore, change the tag point discovery limit,
change the value in the following rule in the user-defined rule file:
Rule where=”Item.Count LTE (‘2000’)”
The XML file is located in the FactoryTalk Historian ME Rule Editor install
