Creating the plant model
There is no default plant model configured for FactoryTalk Metrics LE. The number of
workcells you add to your plant model is limited by the size of the license purchased.
FactoryTalk Metrics LE can be purchased with 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 workcell licenses.
Therefore, you can configure your plant model as necessary with up to 200 workcells. To
use the FactoryTalk Metrics LE Configuration Tool effectively, you will create one
instance of the FactoryTalk Metrics UDT in the control system for each workcell defined
in the plant model.
To add workcells:
1. Launch the RSBizWare Configuration Console. To do this, select Start > All
Programs > Rockwell Software > RSBizWare > Configuration Console.
2. Under FactoryTalk Tasks, click Configure the Plant Model. The Plant Model dialog
box appears.
3. To create an entry at the plant model’s root level, right-click anywhere in the window
and select New Root Enterprise or New Root Site. To create an entry at a lower
level, right-click an entry in the plant model, select New Activity Area, and then
select the appropriate level for the new entry.
P LANT MODEL STRUCTURE
The default plant model structure follows S95 standards and consists of the following
hierarchy:
„
Enterprise
„
Site
„
Area
„
Line
„
Workcell
Create entries in the plant model for at least the site, area, line, and workcell levels
shown because this is the plant model structure that is used in the Report Expert reports.
Typically, machines that are to be monitored by FactoryTalk Metrics are defined at the
workcell level. The FactoryTalk Metrics LE Configuration Tool only configures plant
model entries at the workcell level.
