Creating Multiple FTSS Tags
In "Configuring FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface
(page 19)", we have used as an example an internal FactoryTalk
Historian SE point for creating a target FTSS point on the Target
Server. In real life, you would need to create multiple FTSS target
points for multiple source points collected through an FTLD
interface instead, so that they can be used for transferring data by the
H2H Interface.
To automate the process of creating the FTSS tags, you can use the
Tag Configurator Excel Add-in, distributed with the FactoryTalk
Historian Management Tools.
NOTE
For information on supported versions of Microsoft Excel, refer to the
FactoryTalk Historian SE Release Notes.
The process of creating the multiple FTSS tags, consists of the
following steps:
1. Importing FTLD tags from the source server (page 25).
2. Editing the imported data to create FTSS tags (page 26).
3. Exporting the created FTSS tags to the target server (page 27).
To import FTLD tags:
1. Open Microsoft Excel.
2. On the ribbon, click the Add-Ins tab.
NOTE
If you cannot see the tab, refer to the FactoryTalk Historian SE
Installation and Configuration Guide, section "Configuring Excel
Add-ins for FactoryTalk Clients" to learn how to enable it
manually.
