To open the Interface Configuration Utility (ICU) online help, go to Start >
All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk Historian SE >
Interface Configuration Utility, and select Help > Contents and Index from
the main menu.
If you create an FTLD Interface using the Interface Configuration Utility, it
will not appear in the list of interfaces in the FactoryTalk Administration Console. As
a result, you will not be able to configure the interface from the FactoryTalk
Administration Console.
Configuring the FTLD Interface Using the
FactoryTalk Administration Console
Refer to "Configuring FactoryTalk Historian Live Data Interface" in the
FactoryTalk Historian SE Installation and Configuration Guide for
information on configuring an FTLD Interface using the FactoryTalk
Administration Console. This section also includes steps on how to enable
buffering on the remote interface.
You can configure the FTLD Interface on your local computer (the
computer on which the FactoryTalk Historian SE server is installed);
however, we recommend that you always install the FTLD Interface on the
computer that has the data server installed. Refer to "Verifying the
FactoryTalk Historian Live Data Local Interface" in the FactoryTalk
Historian SE Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.
