FactoryTalk Directory
Integration
This appendix describes how to integrate a standalone FactoryTalk Historian ME
module into an existing FactoryTalk system using FactoryTalk Directory. Integrating
a stand-alone module into an existing FactoryTalk system allows you to perform
centralized security administration, and it allows existing FactoryTalk clients to
connect to the FactoryTalk Historian ME module.
This appendix also provides an example of how to visualize logged data using a
Microsoft Excel add-in and FactoryTalk Historian DataLink. You can also use other
FactoryTalk Historian clients (such as FactoryTalk View SE, FactoryTalk
VantagePoint, and FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook) to visualize logged data from
a FactoryTalk Historian ME.
