Defining Data Points

75

Points- The number of data points that specific row represents. For
example, two rows may be two different data points or they may be the
current definition and the pending definition of the same data point.

Passed- The number of successful operations.

Disregarded- The number of rows that FactoryTalk Transaction
Manager does not allow the action to be performed. For example,
selecting a row that does not have a pending edit and clicking Cancel
Edits
.

Failed- Operations that did not take place because of an internal error.

For more information on online edits, see Chapter 8, Understanding Online
Edits
(page 111).

FactoryTalk Live Data Data Points

FactoryTalk Transaction Manager uses FactoryTalk Live Data to
communicate with the FactoryTalk Live Data servers. With access to the
FactoryTalk Directory, the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager service can
browse available data items directly. This is the only method that can be
used to transfer data to and from FactoryTalk View SE or RSLinx
Enterprise, and is the recommended method to transfer data to and from
RSLinx Classic or RSView32.

In a configuration that uses online edits, you can use only FactoryTalk data
points. For further details about using FactoryTalk data points in a
configuration that uses online edits, see Chapter 8, Understanding Online
Edits
(page 111).

Rockwell Software recommends using the FactoryTalk Live Data control
connector for most user applications. The majority of this chapter will focus
on information related to FactoryTalk Live Data data points. For
information on all of the other data point types, see OPC Data Points (page
82) in this chapter.
