NOTE
To open the Interface Configuration Utility (ICU) online help, go
to Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk
Historian SE > Interface Configuration Utility, and select Help >
Contents and Index from the main menu.
NOTE
If you create an FTLD Interface using the Interface Configuration
Utility, it will not appear in the list of interfaces in the
FactoryTalk Administration Console. As a result, you will not be
able to configure the interface from the FactoryTalk
Administration Console.
Refer to "Configuring FactoryTalk Historian Live Data Interface" in
the
FactoryTalk Historian SE Installation and Configuration Guide
for information on configuring an FTLD Interface using the
FactoryTalk Administration Console. This section also includes
steps on how to enable buffering on the remote interface.
You can configure the FTLD Interface on your local computer (the
computer on which the FactoryTalk Historian SE server is
installed); however, we recommend that you always install the
FTLD Interface on the computer that has the data server installed.
Refer to "Verifying the FactoryTalk Historian Live Data Local
Interface" in the
FactoryTalk Historian SE Installation and
Configuration Guide for more information.
NOTE
For more information on the Interface Configuration Utility, refer to the
FT Historian SE Interface Configuration Utility guide available in the
Common Files > Rockwell > Help folder in your Program Files directory.
If you configure an interface in the ICU, the batch file of the
interface (
FTLDInt.bat) will be maintained by the ICU, and all
configuration changes will be kept in that file.
