FactoryTalk Transaction Manager User Guide

84

FactoryTalk View SE users must use the FactoryTalk Live Data connector in

FactoryTalk Transaction Manager.

When using RSView32 data points and the FactoryTalk Live Data connector, use the
FTDataServerOn and FTDataWriteEnable commands in the RSView32 project.

DDE Data Points

To create a DDE data point, enter an Item String or import a tag or symbolic
name from a tag file. RSLogix 5/500, AI5 project files, or CSV and TSV
files are supported.

On the DDE Data Point dialog box, data points are sorted by the associated
connector, server, and topic. If you select a different topic, only the data
points with that topic are displayed. Likewise, for selecting a new server or
connector. If you select a new tag file after data points have been created for
a connector/server/topic combination, the tag file is cascaded to all data
points for that connector/server/topic. You do not have to create a new DDE
control connector to collect data from data points in different topics. Instead,
select the new topic and add the data points you want to include.
