FactoryTalk Historian Classic uses FactoryTalk Transaction
Manager to collect data from the control system and log it into the
RSBizWare database. A FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
configuration connects any control system from which data will be
collected to the predefined data model used by the RSBizWare
database to store time-series data. The configuration consists of
transactions and the connectors, data points, and data objects
required to implement the transactions.
A transaction is a single exchange of data between the industrial
control system - typically a network of programmable logic
controllers (PLCs) - and a database. An example of a transaction is a
temperature value that is collected from a data point on a
programmable logic controller and logged to a database table.
