For each workcell to be configured, identify the location in the control system where
the UDT is located.
„
Create the transactions necessary to configure the performance parameters for the
selected workcells by creating an XML data file and then importing that file into
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager.

If you intend to use an existing FactoryTalk Transaction Manager configuration, that
configuration must contain a FactoryTalk Live Data control connector and a FactoryTalk
Metrics enterprise connector.
On this tab you will

store the XML output
file and then enter the
information for the
configuration file you
are about to create
(including the
application you
created earlier).
Designate each
UDT’s area, shortcut,
structure name, and
position in the array
before generating the
XML file and
importing it into
FactoryTalk
Transaction Manager.
