FactoryTalk Historian SE is closely integrated with FactoryTalk Services Platform and the following Rockwell Automation applications:
Application |
Description |
|
|
FactoryTalk Live Data |
A direct data interface to FTLD delivers native FTLD data directly to |
(FTLD) |
FactoryTalk Historian SE without requiring intermediate interfaces |
|
and standards such as OPC. |
FactoryTalk Directory |
FactoryTalk Historian SE uses FactoryTalk Directory to look up data |
|
points for configuring points to historize. The FactoryTalk Directory |
|
is also used for auto-discovering controller data sources and tags in |
|
the initial configuration process. |
FactoryTalk |
FactoryTalk Historian SE is activated by Rockwell Automation's |
Activation |
central licensing system based on the FactoryTalk Activation Server. |
FactoryTalk |
Because of a close integration of FactoryTalk Historian SE with |
Diagnostics |
FactoryTalk Diagnostics, all system and diagnostics messages from |
|
FactoryTalk Historian SE are centrally stored and maintained in the |
|
FactoryTalk Diagnostics database. |
FactoryTalk Audit |
All FactoryTalk Historian SE Server auditing messages are stored |
|
and available in the FactoryTalk Audit database. |
FactoryTalk View SE |
FactoryTalk View Site Edition natively trends data from FactoryTalk |
Trending |
Historian SE. |
FactoryTalk Historian |
FactoryTalk Historian ME provides a Data Transfer service to allow |
Machine Edition (ME) |
its logged data to be transferred to the FactoryTalk Historian SE for |
|
long-term storage and analysis. |
FactoryTalk |
The data from multiple FactoryTalk Historian SE Servers and |
VantagePoint |
FactoryTalk Historian ME Servers can be brought together into a |
|
single information management and decision support system using |
|
FactoryTalk VantagePoint. |
FactoryTalk Batch |
The event journal data from your FactoryTalk Batch system can be |
|
collected through the FactoryTalk Batch Interface and stored within |
|

Chapter 1 Overview
The hardware required with FactoryTalk Historian Site Edition depends on the demands an application places on the system. The greater the demand, the more powerful system is required. In any application, faster processors and more memory will result in better performance. In addition, there should always be sufficient disk space to provide virtual memory that is at least twice the size of the physical memory.
For current information on the system requirements for the individual Historian SE suites, refer to the FactoryTalk Historian SE Release Notes.

Chapter 2
Disable the Windows Time
Zone (TZ) Environment
Variable
Before you install FactoryTalk Historian SE, do the following:
•Synchronize time settings on Historian system computers (page 17).
•Disable the Windows time zone (page 17).
•Learn about installation-related recommendations (page 18).
•Configure IIS for Advanced Server components (page 18).
For all machines that are part of the FactoryTalk Historian system, you must ensure that the time is set correctly and synchronized with the FactoryTalk Historian server. In addition, make sure that all Windows machines have the proper time-zone settings and that they are set to automatically adjust for daylight-saving changes.
The clocks of the FactoryTalk Historian server computer and client computers should all be synchronized. This is typically done through the domain controller. The domain controller's time is synchronized first by an NTP source. Then, the domain controller synchronizes all other computers that are a part of the FactoryTalk Historian system.
For details, search the Rockwell Automation Technical Support (http://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/) web site for daylight saving time.
The Windows time zone (TZ) environment variable adversely affects the Historian server. You must ensure that TZ is not set on the Historian server computer.

Module Database (MDB). Over time, Rockwell Automation will transform MDB applications into AF applications. To provide backward compatibility, FactoryTalk Historian SE 4.0 copies the contents of Historian MDB over to AF, in a process called transition. After the migration, the Historian server constantly synchronizes the MDB content with AF, allowing you to access MDB content from AF clients as well as MDB clients. Similarly, you can access AF content from MDB clients, as well as AF clients. This allows you to access your AF content with MDB-based tools, such as ACE, or with an AF client such as FactoryTalk Historian System Explorer.
AF itself requires Microsoft SQL Server. See "Install Microsoft SQL Server (page 21)" for more information.

Before installing FactoryTalk Historian Asset Framework, learn about the |
|
NOTE |
||
installation options it offers. See "Installation Modes for FactoryTalk |
||
|
||
|
||
|
Historian Asset Framework (page 29)" for more information. |
The default installation installs the AF service and Microsoft SQL Express on the computer with the Historian SE server installed. If you are using a Historian server collective or will be creating large numbers of AF elements, install both the AF service and the SQL server on a computer separate from the Historian server. For more information, refer to the section on FactoryTalk Historian Asset Framework system requirements in the FactoryTalk Historian SE Release Notes.
During the installation process, you can decide how the AF service and the AF SQL database will be installed on your computer, by choosing one of five installation modes representing the following scenarios:
•Both the service and the database are located on the same machine:
