Application notes for FactoryTalk Transaction Manager Appendix D

If you do not run RSLinx Classic as a Windows 2012/2008/2003
service while you are configuring RSLinx Classic from a remote
location, the following error message appears.

To setup RSLinx Classic to run as a service:

1. Go to Start > Program Files > Rockwell Software > RSLinx

> RSLinx Classic Launch Control Panel.
The RSLinx Classic Launch Control Panel dialog box
appears.

2. (Optional) Select the Always Run As Service check box, if

you want RSLinx Classic to start as a service at all times.

3. Click Start.

You can define a data point in FactoryTalk Transaction Manager to

map to multiple contiguous registers in a controller. This allows you
to read a block of ASCII registers and send them to the database as a
single string.

The stored procedure reads a data block, separates the integer values,

and inserts them into a table. This stored procedure is used to bind a
data block item from a FactoryTalk Transaction Manager control
connector.

In certain situations, it is more efficient to send a data block of
integers than to use the

Parse()

expression. To send data blocks to a

stored procedure and then separate them, set up a data block in a
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager control connector, such as
