Location1

Location1 indicates to which copy of the interface the point belongs. The
value of this attribute must match the /id startup parameter. The default
value for the FTLD Local Interface is 1.

Location2

Location2 is not used for the FTLD Interface.

Location3

Location3 is used to define a data collection mode:

0 - Polled or Event Data is collected based on the scan rate and saved in the buffer.

When the Historian server requests data, the data stored in the buffer
is sent to the server. In this method, the values being sent to the

Historian server are from a buffer, so they may not represent the
exact (current) values in the controllers.

1 - Advise (Default) Data is collected only when a value changes in the controller. It is not

based on the scan rate. It is the default data collection method and is

the most efficient because data is sent to the Historian server only
when the value changes.

2 - Output

Data is written back to the Live Data server such as RSLinx
Enterprise, HMI server such as FactoryTalk View, or OPC server such

as RSLinx Classic. Use this method when you want to write data
points back to the data servers.
