Configuring FactoryTalk Metrics LE
FactoryTalk Metrics LE contains tools that are designed to reduce the time it takes to
implement a FactoryTalk Metrics system. You will use the FactoryTalk Metrics LE User-
Defined Type (UDT), RSLogix 5000, RSLinx Enterprise, and the FactoryTalk Metrics LE
Configuration Tool to configure a functioning FactoryTalk Metrics LE application.
To configure FactoryTalk Metrics LE, you must modify specific information for the
following:
„
FactoryTalk Directory. Create users, applications, optionally define areas, create the
RSLinx Enterprise connection, and create shortcuts. See “Configuring the FactoryTalk
Directory” on page 27.
„
RSBizWare Service Console. Configure servers; assign privileges, licenses, and
activations; and configure flex fields. See “Configuring the RSBizWare Service
Console” on page 30.
„
Database data. Load the data that defines FactoryTalk Metrics LE reports into the
FactoryTalk Metrics LE database. See “Loading database data” on page 34.
„
Plant model. Use the RSBizWare Console to create the plant model for your facility.
See “Creating the plant model” on page 35.
„
FactoryTalk Metrics LE UDT. Add the FactoryTalk Metrics UDT to your
ControlLogix programs. This allows the FactoryTalk Metrics LE Configuration Tool
to use the data points in the UDT for the FactoryTalk Metrics application. See
“Adding the FactoryTalk Metrics LE UDT” on page 36.
„
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager. Use the FactoryTalk Metrics LE Configuration
Tool to load data as well as create and import the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
configuration. See “Configuring FactoryTalk Transaction Manager” on page 38.
„
Data collection. Use the RSBizWare Service Console to register the FactoryTalk
Transaction Manager configuration for data collection. See “Registering the
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager configuration for data collection” on page 43.
„
FactoryTalk Metrics. Use the FactoryTalk Metrics LE Configuration Tool to
configure FactoryTalk Metrics using the data points in the UDTs in the controller
programs. See “Configuring FactoryTalk Metrics” on page 44.
„
Performance Parameters. Use the RSBizWare Configuration Console to modify and
customize the performance parameters as necessary using the standard FactoryTalk
Metrics capabilities. See “Modifying performance parameters” on page 45.
