Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Metrics User Guide - Manual (Page 25)

Chapter 3
Collecting Performance Data
The primary functions of FactoryTalk Metrics are collecting and
analyzing production data to provide performance ratings for every
activity area. Before the report designer can create performance
rating reports for the report user, the RSBizWare administrator
must set up the application to collect data from the control system.
This chapter will help you understand the two key categories of
ratings used to evaluate the performance of a production asset, and
understand how to identify and configure the data points that will
be used to collect the production data necessary to calculate
performance ratings.
We will:
• Define the OEE and Fault Metrics ratings.
• Configure the FactoryTalk Metrics application, including
plant model configuration, time pattern configuration, time
pattern exception configuration, composite time pattern
configuration, and performance parameter configuration.
• Start and stop data collection.
• Perform manual data collection.
The examples in "Analyzing FactoryTalk Metrics Data (page 171)"
will help you understand how to analyze the data that is collected in
FactoryTalk Metrics.
In version 7.0 of FactoryTalk Metrics a change was made to the way
the data collection is initialized. Prior to this it was possible to have
partial FactoryTalk Transaction Manager .rsl files (still stored on Collecting Part Count Data
