Chapter 4 Automated Configuration
The error log file is stored in the FTTM configuration path
that you provided in "Step 2. Define a FactoryTalk
Transaction Manager Configuration (page 157)".
The name of the log file is WorkcellDeployment.log.
After you imported the FactoryTalk Metrics performance
parameters with FactoryTalk Metrics Configuration Tool to
FactoryTalk Metrics, you can customize them in the Configuration
Console. For details, see "Collecting Performance Data (page 25)"
.
When customizing the imported performance parameters, keep the
following in mind:
• Every data point in the FactoryTalk Metrics UDT is mapped
to the appropriate performance parameter for every workcell.
You may not have use for all of the data points in the UDT,
and you may not have programmed them to contain valid data
when you added the UDT to the control program. If the
control program is not populating a UDT data point with
valid data, you should delete that data point from the
performance parameters. In the case of events, you can disable
or delete unused events.
• Every workcell is configured identically. In a real application
this is rarely the case. You can customize each workcell using
the Configuration Console.
• Make sure that the performance parameters are configured as
expected, and are programmed in the controller (for example,
all event triggers are configured for low to high transition).
• Default names are assigned to events, and events are grouped
into categories by event type. You may change the way the
events are grouped, and change the event names and categories
to be more meaningful.
• No lookup lists are created by the configuration tool. It is
useful to make lookup lists to translate integer values for
