Transactions
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager creates transactions, or discrete
operations that transfer data from your control system to/from the enterprise
system. For example, a single transaction can download data from an Oracle
database, via a stored procedure, to tags in a ControlLogix processor.
Alternately, a transaction can send multiple data points from a distributed
control system to a Microsoft SQL Server database to be logged for
reporting. Transactions can be modified at runtime; for more information,
see Chapter 8, Understanding Online Edits (page 111).
The transaction model organizes the task of data management. FactoryTalk
Transaction Manager’s flexibility provides many options for customizing all
aspects of a transaction. The software can manage many transactions at
once, allowing for sophisticated manufacturing data collection and control
applications. Using the software, you can also monitor, modify, and enable
or disable individual transactions, making the development and
implementation of an application easier.
FactoryTalk
FactoryTalk is a manufacturing information platform that integrates
plant-wide control systems and connects the enterprise with the production
facility.
 Integrate - FactoryTalk eliminates both functionality gaps and overlaps
by providing common services (such as diagnostics and access to
real-time data) and by sharing plant resources (such as tags and graphic
displays) throughout a production facility.
 Communicate - FactoryTalk transforms plant-floor data into useful
information and delivers it to the people who need it, from maintenance
engineers to enterprise planners.
 Collaborate - FactoryTalk allows defining plant-floor resources once,
and then allows simultaneous access to those resources across system
boundaries.
