4. At the workcell level of the plant model, type the name of the workcell (for
example, "Filler").
5. Add the remaining workcells for your plant model and then click OK.
Adding the FactoryTalk Metrics LE UDT
For each workcell to be included in the FactoryTalk Metrics application, you must create
an instance of the FactoryTalk Metrics LE UDT in the control system to serve as a data
source for that workcell. You must add the UDT definition to the appropriate RSLogix
5000 control program, create an instance of the UDT, and add MOV or other instructions
to the program to ensure that the UDT data points will contain valid data. For a discussion
of how each of the FactoryTalk Metrics performance parameters relates to the tags in the
UDT, see “UDT Data Points and FactoryTalk Metrics Performance Parameters” on
page 16.
To import the UDT:
1. Launch RSLogix 5000. Select Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software >
RSLogix 5000 Enterprise Series > RSLogix 5000.
2. Open your controller program file into which you want to import the UDT.
3. Right-click the User-Defined folder and select Import Data Type to import
FactoryTalk Metrics LE UDT.
4. Browse to select the FTMLE_Workcell.L5X file and click Import.
5. When the file is imported two UDTs (FTMLE_AnalogEvents and FTMLE_Workcell)
appear under the User-Defined folder. You will use these data types later to create an
array of tags specifically designed to store FactoryTalk Metrics data.
For more information about configuring your plant model with additional workcells, refer to
the RSBizWare Administrator’s Guide.
All data points in the UDT, with the exception of Good Parts, are optional. Therefore, you do not
have to use all of the data points contained in the UDT. However, the FactoryTalk Metrics LE
Configuration Tool assumes you are using all of the data points and will map them to the
appropriate FactoryTalk Metrics performance parameters. You will have to manually remove the
data points that you do not use from the FactoryTalk Metrics performance parameters. See
“Modifying performance parameters” on page 45.
By default the FTMLE_Workcell.L5X UDT file is located in the following location:
