Chapter 6 Configuring FactoryTalk Historian

Rockwell Automation Publication HSE-IN024A-EN-E–December 2012

NOTE

The numbers provided for PINotifications in Total, Amount Used, and

Amount Left are multiplied by 7 against those set in the FactoryTalk
Administration Console. It is because each notification uses 7 points
from the Rockwell pool.
For example, if you set the limit for PINotifications to 50 in the
FactoryTalk Administration Console, the Total number of allocated
licenses in the System Management Tools will equal 350.

Use the FactoryTalk Administration Console to configure your

FactoryTalk Historian SE server to start collecting data points. You
can add data points to the server in either of the following ways:

• Adding individual data points manually (page 90).
• Adding multiple data points automatically (page 91).

Once you have added the data points to the server, you can verify if
the points are collected by the server correctly. See "Viewing Archive
Data (page 94)" for more information.

To add individual data points to the FactoryTalk Historian SE
server:

1. Go to

Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk

Administration Console. The FactoryTalk Administration
Console
dialog box appears.

2. In the Select FactoryTalk Directory dialog box, choose either

Network or Local directory that you want to use, and click
OK.

3. In the Explorer tree, right-click the application from which

you want to collect points, and select Add Individual
