Installing FactoryTalk Services Platform
This option installs FactoryTalk Services Platform (FTSP) CPR9
(Service Release 2). FTSP is an underlying architecture and set of
common services that Rockwell Automation products build upon.
FTSP must be installed on the computer that hosts the FactoryTalk
Directory Server and all computers that are part of the FactoryTalk
directory, including the FactoryTalk Historian SE server and all
clients. FTSP is also required if you plan to use FactoryTalk
Security. However, it is optional if you plan to use native security.
The following components and services are installed as part of the
platform:
FactoryTalk Directory organizes project information from
multiple FactoryTalk products across multiple computers on a
network. It allows products to share a common address book,
which finds and provides access to plant-floor resources, such
as data tags and graphic displays. FactoryTalk Historian ME
supports a network directory only.
FactoryTalk Security can be used to secure your FactoryTalk
network after installing FTSP. Select the “custom” option to
install the FTSP Web Services component. Internet
Information Services (IIS) must be installed and configured
before you install FTSP. Please refer to the FactoryTalk
Services Platform online help for more information. This must
be installed on the computer that hosts the FactoryTalk
Directory Server and on the secondary server configured for
the FactoryTalk Historian SE module. Please refer to the FTSP
online help for more information.
