Configuring FactoryTalk Historian Live
Data Interface
To configure a FactoryTalk Historian Live Data Interface (FTLD),
we recommend that you use FactoryTalk Administration Console.
However, you must use the Interface Configuration Utility (ICU)
to configure an FTLD Interface in the following cases:
• If you are configuring redundant FTLD Interfaces.
For more information, refer to the Rockwell Automation KB
59932
(https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detai
l/a_id/59932) article.
• If you are configuring the buffer subsystem on an FTLD
Interface.
For more information, refer to "Enable Buffering" in the
FactoryTalk Historian SE Installation and Configuration
Guide.
NOTE
Enabling the buffer subsystem is a recommended step during
the installation of the FactoryTalk Historian Live Data Interface.
To take advantage of this feature, you must install the FTLD
Interface on a separate machine than the FactoryTalk Historian
SE.
• If you are configuring the Disconnected Startup option.
For more information, refer to "(Unint) Disconnected
Startup" in the
Interface Configuration Utility Help.
