FactoryTalk Services Platform is an underlying architecture and a set
of common services (such as diagnostic messages, health monitoring
services, access to real-time data, and shared plant resources such as
tags and graphic displays) that Rockwell Automation products build
upon. It is a prerequisite for all FactoryTalk-enabled software
products, such as FactoryTalk Historian SE, FactoryTalk View, and
RSLinx Enterprise.
FactoryTalk Diagnostics collects and provides access to activity,
status warnings, and error messages generated throughout a
FactoryTalk system.

You can access it from
