A DDING SHORTCUTS
Add shortcuts to reference each of the ControlLogix controllers and verify the
communication.
To add shortcuts and verify their communication:
1. Click the plus sign (+) to open the new RSLinx Enterprise server you just created and
double-click the Communication Setup tree item. If necessary, maximize the
FactoryTalk Administration Console to see the entire configuration.
2. To create a new shortcut, click Add. “New Shortcut” appears.
3. Type the shortcut name to reference all data points within a specific ControlLogix
device. If one device will contain only the data points for one FactoryTalk Metrics LE
workcell, consider using the same name for both the workcell (see “Creating the plant
model” on page 35) and the shortcut (for example, “Filler”). This is the convention
used by the FactoryTalk Metrics LE Configuration Tool. If data points from more than
one workcell will be contained in one device, use some other meaningful name for the
shortcut. Create one shortcut for each device.
4. Once you name the shortcut, click the Primary tab to the right of the shortcuts and
navigate to the controller’s connection.
5. Select the controller and at the top of the dialog box, click Apply. Click Yes to apply
the changes.
6. At the bottom of the dialog box, click Verify to open the Shortcut Verifier dialog box.
For help completing the dialog box, click How to use the Shortcut Verifier at the
bottom of the Shortcut Verifier dialog box.
7. At the bottom of the Communication Setup dialog box, click OK.
8. Close the FactoryTalk Administration Console.
Configuring the RSBizWare Service Console
When you first configure the Service Console you must perform the following:
„
Configure servers. Register the Security Services Manager and Information Services
Manager and associate the Metrics Server Manager. See “Configuring servers” on
page 31.
„
Assign user privileges, licensing, and activation. Give FactoryTalk Directory users
FactoryTalk Metrics privileges and activations and assign workcell licenses and
If multiple ControlLogix controllers are required to provide data for FactoryTalk Metrics LE,
repeat the necessary steps to add additional shortcuts.
