Introduction
FactoryTalk® AssetCentre monitors your factory automation system and provides
centralized tools to minimize downtime due to unauthorized actions or failing devices. It
does this by:
providing version control and archiving of program files and documents.
providing a disaster recovery system that verifies your devices’ program and
configuration files against protected master files, ensuring quick and accurate
recovery if a problem should occur (optional Disaster Recovery capability).
monitoring FactoryTalk-enabled software products and logging system events and
user actions (recorded in the Event log and Audit log respectively).
managing device configuration files.
managing process device calibration, including scheduling and tracking (optional
Calibration Management capability).
managing and configuring DTM devices (optional Process Device
Configuration capability).
DTM stands for “Device Type Manager.” It is a software component for devices that
contains device information and configuration parameters for that device. The device
manufacturer provides the DTM for the device. DTMs are designed according to FDT
(Field Device Tool) standards.
FactoryTalk Services Platform
FactoryTalk AssetCentre uses FactoryTalk Services Platform to provide seamless
connectivity with other FactoryTalk-enabled software. Users and computers are defined in
FactoryTalk Directory; access to actions within the FactoryTalk AssetCentre system is
controlled with FactoryTalk Security.
About the documentation set (or, Where do I start?)
The documentation set includes:
FactoryT alk AssetCentr e Installation Guide (Document ID FTAC-IN005). Use this
manual to install the FactoryTalk AssetCentre system. This manual is also available

The components of FactoryTalk AssetCentre
There are three primary components of a FactoryTalk AssetCentre system:
FactoryTalk AssetCentre server, which controls the rest of the system and governs
its operations. The server requires Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (SP1 or later) or SQL
Server 2008 (SP1 or later) to function. The SQL Server is typically on the same
computer as the FactoryTalk AssetCentre server. The instructions in this manual are
written for that case, although the SQL Server could be installed on a different
computer.

1 • INTRODUCTION
FactoryT alk AssetCentr e clients, which permit users to configure and use the server ,
view logged events, and perform other tasks associated with the software. The client
can be installed on any computer that:
is capable of running the client software (see “Client computer requirements” on
page 5).
is connected to the FactoryTalk AssetCentre server.
FactoryT alk AssetCentre agents, which are programs that perform certain scheduled
operations, such as Disaster Recovery and searches. Agents run independently of the
server and independently from each other—users schedule operations and the agents
perform them at the scheduled time. By spreading the processing load over multiple
computers, FactoryTalk AssetCentre agents speed up operations. When a server needs
a scheduled operation to begin, it tries to locate an available computer running the
appropriate agent to perform that task. When it locates an agent to perform the task, it
assigns the task to that agent. When the agent has completed the task, the agent reports
back to the server that the task is done.
Agents can be installed on any computer that:
is capable of running the agent software (see “Agent computer requirements” on
page 7).

When the system needs to run a schedule it searches the network for an available agent to perform that
function.

on a separate server computer. If you already have SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008
installed, you can skip these steps (however, you may need to reconfigure the SQL
Server).
If you intend to use the Calibration Management capability, a 32-bit edition of Microsoft SQL
Server is required.

3 • INSTALLINGTHE FACTORYTALK ASSETCENTRESERVER
If you use an existing SQL Server installation:
The SQL Server collation must be dictionary-order, case-insensitive for use with
FactoryTalk AssetCentre software. If your existing SQL Server collation is casesensitive, the FactoryTalk AssetCentre database installation will fail. Follow the
directions here if your SQL Server collation is NOT dictionary-order, caseinsensitive.
If this SQL Server has no other databases on it:
Either: Uninstall SQL Server and reinstall it using the default collation in the
setup program. (This statement applies to English language Microsoft Windows
operating systems and SQL Server software. For other languages, be sure to
select a dictionary-order, case-insensitive collation when reinstalling.)
Or: Rebuild the master database using a dictionary-order, case-insensitive
collation. Refer to the SQL Server 2008 online books for instructions.
If this SQL Server has other databases on it, then setup or use another SQL Server
that is configured with a dictionary-order, case-insensitive collation.
If you have an MSDN subscription you can find more information at
5. Follow the on-screen instructions for installation until you get to the Server
Configuration screen.
6. In the Server Configuration screen, the Services Accounts tab asks how you want to
run the services for the SQL Server. Specify the account name and password for each
SQL Server service.
You can run the SQL Server using a domain account. This can, however, complicate system
maintenance (for instance, when changing passwords). If you are not sure of the type of
account you should use for running the SQL Server, consult your network administrator.

7. In the Server Configuration screen, click the Collation tab and then click the
Customize button next to the Database Engine Collation area to specify the Database
Engine collation. In the Customize the SQL Server 2008 Database Engine Collation
dialog box, select SQL collation and then select the
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS option.
The collation settings must be case-insensitive! If the settings are case-sensitive, the
FactoryTalk AssetCentre database installation will fail.
8. In the Database Engine Configuration window, click the Account Provisioning tab and
then select Mixed Mode (SQL Server Authentication and Windows
authentication). This means that both the SQL Server and the Windows domain can
authenticate users for the SQL Server.
FactoryTalk AssetCentre uses SQL Server authentication.

When you click Mixed Mode, fields open for entering the password for the sa (SQL
Server system administrator) account password. Do not forget the password. You
will need this password when you install the FactoryTalk AssetCentre server.
Do not leave the password blank. Doing so leaves your SQL Server and your computer open
to attack.
9. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

After you install Microsoft SQL Server 2008, you must install SQL Server 2008 Service
Pack 1 or later. The service pack is necessary for the software to run properly and protects
your SQL Server 2008 server from certain types of attacks.

Minimum Microsoft SQL Server 2008 permissions
The permissions discussed here are set automatically during the FactoryTalk AssetCentre
Database installation (which is part of the FactoryTalk AssetCentre Server installation
discussed on page 31). This information is provided for reference for the SQL
administrator.
The AssetCentreUser SQL user’s default database value can be “master” or
“AssetCentre.” By default, the database value is set to “AssetCentre.” The
AssetCentreUser SQL user needs to belong to the following AssetCentre database roles:
db_dataexecute
db_datareader
db_datawriter
public
The “db_dataexecute” database role was added to the FactoryTalk AssetCentre database
during the FactoryTalk AssetCentre server installation. It is used to group Execute
permissions of stored procedures and functions within the AssetCentre database.
All of the user stored procedures and user functions in the FactoryTalk AssetCentre
database need to have the Execute permission granted to the “db_dataexecute” database
role.
