Chapter 6

Create Multiple FTSS Tags

In Configuring FactoryTalk Historian to Historian Interface (page 21), 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 27).

2. Editing the imported data to create FTSS tags (page 28).

3. Exporting the created FTSS tags to the target server (page 29).

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.
