Hi,
i've finally start to play with Historian and unfortunately stop on the beginning.
I can't add a simply tag from my PLC. I read similar thread but with no main answer at the end...that is a common problem when user solve his problem and didn't share with others.
I will describe in details what is done and configurated to give you a better look for a problem.
I make two virtual systems to test FactoryTalk Historian.
1). PC#1 with Windows Server to keep FT Historian.
I also install on it RSLinxEnterprise
2). PC#2 with Windows 7 to have Studio, RSLinxEnterprise and
SMT (System Management Tools for Historian).
On PC#2 i also have: Studio 5000, RSlinx and Emulate5000 to simulate PLC.
Configuration:
- FactoryTalk Directory setup on PC#1
- RSLinx Enterprise setup on PC#1.
It's wird because when i setup it on PC#2 i not able to access PLC.
Otherwise [when it is on PC#1] FTAC see everything on both PC.
- FTHistorian Service Status is running and setup to "Automatic".
- I can connect to server from PC#2 using FTAC (under "Collective/Servers")
but when i try to connect from PC#1 i can't.
I have installed SMT on both PC.
I try add a historian tag in that way:
Step 1 Open FTAC on PC#2
Step 2 Right click on AreaName and choose "Add individual Historian Points".
Step 3 Browse Tag button and choose tag from PLC. Confirm with
"Add tag(s) to List" , "ok", and "ok".
Step 4 Open SMT/Points/PointBuilder and could'nt find my tag.
