UDT Data Points and FactoryTalk Metrics Performance
Parameters
The FactoryTalk Metrics LE Configuration tool configures FactoryTalk Metrics
performance parameters using the tag names in the UDT. Each workcell in the plant
model uses a different instance of the UDT in the control system (see “Creating the plant
model” on page 35). Each workcell will be configured identically.
Following are the data points in the UDT and the corresponding performance
parameters for which they will be used in FactoryTalk Metrics.
As the implementor,
you must modify the control system program to ensure that the UDT tags contain valid
data for FactoryTalk Metrics to collect.
All UDT data points (unless otherwise noted) are used by the FactoryTalk Metrics LE
Configuration Tool to configure FactoryTalk Metrics performance parameters. If a
particular UDT data point is not used in a customer’s application, and therefore does not
contain valid control system data, you will have to modify the FactoryTalk Metrics
performance parameters. Do this after you run the FactoryTalk Metrics LE Configuration
Tool to make sure that the unused data point is not used by FactoryTalk Metrics.
P ART ID
The Part ID identifies the product being produced at the workcell.The value in this field
should change when the workcell produces a different part. You must coordinate the
PartId value with the part count values in order to associate the part counts with the
correct Part Id.
The FactoryTalk Metrics LE Configuration tool configures performance parameters in a specific
manner. However, you can modify the performance parameters after you use the FactoryTalk
Metrics LE Configuration tool. As the implementor, decide whether and how to change the
performance parameters to meet the customer’s needs. You can modify workcell performance
parameters as necessary using standard methods for FactoryTalk Metrics. For more information,
see the FactoryTalk Metrics Users’ Guide.
