Starting and Stopping the Interface
Once you have installed the FTLD interface as a service, you can start and
stop it in two ways:
 Using the Interface Configuration Utility (ICU) (page 49).
 Using the Administrative Tools program of Control Panel (page 50).
The FTLD interface service may terminate immediately after the startup
for a variety of reasons. One of typical reasons is that the service is not
able to find the command-line parameters in the associated .bat file. To
avoid it, make sure that the root name of the .bat file and the .exe file are
the same, and that the files are located in the same directory. Usually, they
are stored in C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\FactoryTalk
Historian\Server\PIPC\Interfaces\LDInterface.
Further troubleshooting of the service may require consulting the pipc.log
file, Windows Event Viewer, or other sources of log messages. See Error
and Informational Messages (page 51) for additional information.
Using the Interface Configuration Utility
To start the FTLD interface:
1. Click Start > All Program > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk
Historian SE > Interface Configuration Utility. The Interface
Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
2. From the Interface drop-down list, select the interface you want to
start.
