About This Publication
This quick start provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up
and configure three functional DataSite configurations.
•
DataSite to a ControlLogix master (
)
•
DataSite to a FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME) master
(
•
DataSite to a FactoryTalk View Site Edition (SE) master with data
logging capabilities (
)
The examples are designed to get devices installed and
communicating with each other in the simplest way possible. The
programming is not complex and offers easy solutions to verify that
devices are communicating properly
To assist in the design and installation of your DataSite configuration,
application files and other information is provided on the DataSite
Accelerator Toolkit CD, publication IASIMP-SP011. This CD provides
CAD drawings for panel layout and wiring, base Logix control
programs, FactoryTalk View HMI application files, and more. For a
copy of the CD, contact your local Rockwell Automation distributor or
sales representative. With these tools and the built-in best-practices
design, you can focus on the design of your system and not on design
overhead tasks.
