FactoryTalk Historian Machine Edition Overview
FactoryTalk® Historian Machine Edition (ME) provides a
completely contained system for data storage and data collection.
The FactoryTalk Historian ME Module is inserted into a chassis
with one or more ControlLogix
Historian ME Module collects data across the backplane from the
ControlLogix controllers in the local chassis and stores it in a local
archive. System and data information can be viewed through the
FactoryTalk Historian ME web pages and standard Historian
clients.
The Factory Talk Historian ME Module can be integrated with the
following Rockwell Automation applications:
FactoryTalk VantagePoint: By integrating FactoryTalk Historian
ME with FactoryTalk VantagePoint and FactoryTalk VantagePoint
EMI, you can view your process data from the FactoryTalk
Historian ME in VantagePointExcel reports, dashboards, and
portals, and integrate the FactoryTalk Historian ME data into the
VantagePoint mdel. This allows you to correlate the data with
various other data sources.
FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook: By integrating FactoryTalk
Historian ME with FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook, you can
view your process data from FactoryTalk Historian ME as well as
in FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook. This allows you to visualize
the data in trends and other graphical components.
FactoryTalk Historian DataLink: By integrating FactoryTalk
Historian ME with the Excel add-in FactoryTalk Historian
DataLink, you can develop Excel reports based on the data in
FactoryTalk Historian ME.
FactoryTalk Services Platform: By integrating FactoryTalk
Historian ME with FactoryTalk Security, all users and groups can
be maintained from a central location.
Note: FactoryTalk Historian ME can be integrated with FactoryTalk
Services Platform CPR9 SR2. If you are using FactoryTalk Services
Platform CPR9 SR1, you must upgrade to FactoryTalk Services Platform
CPR9 SR2 by installing the FactoryTalk Services Platform CPR9 SR2
provided on the FactoryTalk Historian ME Client Tools CD that was
shipped with your FactoryTalk Historian ME Module. You must use the
®
controllers. The FactoryTalk

custom install and select the web services (for details, refer to the
FactoryTalk Services Platform release notes . You must also have Internet
Integration Services (IIS) installed.
FactoryTalk Historian SE: By integrating FactoryTalk Historian
ME with FactoryTalk Historian SE, you can transfer the data logged
by FactoryTalk Historian ME to FactoryTalk Historian SE for long
term storage and analysis.
Note: FactoryTalk Historian ME can be integrated with FactoryTalk
Historian SE 2.1 and above. A patch must be installed on FactoryTalk
Historian SE systems in your network that will be used with FactoryTalk
Historian ME. See page 9 for more information.
FactoryTalk View SE: You can use the FactoryTalk View SE
Trending object to trend data logged in FactoryTalk Historian ME.
Note: FactoryTalk Historian ME can be integrated with FactoryTalk View
SE Trending 5.0 and above.

FactoryTalk Historian ME System Requirements
Before installing FactoryTalk Historian ME, determine your
platform requirements and configuration environment. The
following information offers some guidelines as you begin
planning.

FACTORYTALK HISTORIAN ME SYSTEM REQUIREM ENTS
System Requirements
The hardware and software requirements for FactoryTalk Historian
ME depend on the demands an application places on the system.
The greater the demand, the more powerful a system must be to
support this demand. For large or complex applications, use
computers with faster CPUs and more RAM. In addition to this,
there should always be sufficient disk space to provide virtual
memory that is at least twice the size of the physical RAM.
Software Requirements
Windows Vista SP1 or Windows XP SP2 or SP3
Microsoft Excel 2003 or newer for FactoryTalk Historian
DataLink
Note: Windows Vista is only supported for the FactoryTalk Historian ME
web browser and FactoryTalk Historian ME VantagePoint. It is not
supported for DataLink and ProcessBook.
Windows Server 2003 SP2
Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 6.0 or 7.0. There are no
specific requirements for IE 7.0. For IE 6.0, the requirements
are as follows:
Windows XP SP2
If the \windows\system32\mshtml.dll file has a version
that is less than or equal to 6.0.2900.2180 or a date that is

Disable any popub blocks to view online help.
Select the Local Intranet icon (generally located under
Security settings), and click [Sites] to use the default setting,
“Automatically detect internet network”.
Use the default Security level for this zone. In general, the
settings should remain at the default level and the setting
should not be changed. Use the medium-low default setting.
Enable the following settings
Binary and script behaviors

environment before installing FactoryTalk Historian ME.
1. Set up the ControlLogix chassis.
2. Insert the ControlLogix controller(s) into the chassis.
3. Power on the system.
4. Configure the ControlLogix device(s).
Refer to your ControlLogix Chassis and ControlLogix Controller
documentation for more detailed information.
Installing the FactoryTalk Historian ME Module
FactoryTalk Historian ME has two part numbers:
5
FACTORYTALK HISTORIAN ME QUICK ST ART GUIDE
• • •
1756-HIST1G
1756-HIST2G
The 1G or 2G in the part number indicates how much data storage
is associated with the FactoryTalk Historian ME Module.
Unpack the FactoryTalk Historian ME Module and insert it into the
chassis.
Refer to your FactoryTalk Historian ME Installation Instructions for
more detailed information.
Installing FactoryTalk Historian ME Components
If you plan to use FactoryTalk Historian ME Client Tools, such as
the FactoryTalk Historian ME Rule Editor, FactoryTalk Directory,
and/or FactoryTalk Security, then these components must be
installed before you continue. If you do not plan to use FactoryTalk
Historian Client Tools, then skip to “Logging into FactoryTalk
Historian ME” on page 9.
After you have selected the platform that best suits your needs and
have installed the FactoryTalk Historian ME Module into the
chassis, you must determine the configuration environment for the
FactoryTalk Historian ME components. These components, or
FactoryTalk Historian Client Tools, can be found on the CD that
was shipped with the FactoryTalk Historian ME Module.
