Naming the FactoryTalk Historian ME
Module
The default module name is prepended to the FactoryTalk Historian
ME module serial number. This guarantees a unique name. This is
especially important when performing data transfer to a
FactoryTalk Historian SE or PI server. The FactoryTalk Historian
ME module name is prepended to the FactoryTalk Historian ME tag
name to create the FactoryTalk Historian SE or PI server tag name.
This provides uniqueness and context to the tag. The module name
is also used as the DNS host name of the module and should be
unique on the network.
