Installing FactoryTalk Historian To
Historian Interface
In this chapter you will find instructions on how to install the
following core components of the FactoryTalk Historian To
Historian Interface suite:
• FactoryTalk Services Platform (page 13)
• FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface (page 15)
When you select this option, the following components will be
installed:
• FactoryTalk Diagnostics
• Windows Firewall Configuration Utility (WFCU)
• FactoryTalk Services Platform
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.
