Links to roughly 90% of the information contained in this presentation can be found in the Rockwell Automation
Knowledgebase in one Answer ID:
56070 FactoryTalk Historian SE Tips and Best Practices TOC.

The intent of this session and 56070 is to make a user aware of the numerous variables that must be
considered when designing a FactoryTalk Historian SE System.

PUBLIC Rockwell Automation TechED 2017 @ROKTechED #ROKTechED Copyright 2017 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 20
FactoryTalk Historian SE Components
A typical FactoryTalk Historian SE system consists of the following software components (or
roles):
Network FactoryTalk Directory Server (FTD) (1)
FactoryTalk Historian Server (FTH Data Archive) (1)
FactoryTalk Asset Framework Server (FTH AF) (1)
SQL Server (Express or Standard) (1)
FactoryTalk Historian Live Data Interface(s) (1+)
FactoryTalk LiveData Server(s) (RSLE) (1+)
FactoryTalk Historian Client(s) (1+)
Internet Information Server (IIS)* (1)
* Only if using FT Security Services, FT ActiveView Client or FactoryTalk VantagePoint

Can all these roles coexist on a single computer?


PUBLIC Rockwell Automation TechED 2017 @ROKTechED #ROKTechED Copyright 2017 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 21
FactoryTalk Historian SE Single Host
A single-host FactoryTalk Historian SE system is good (supported).
Express Installation option for a single computer solution

However, it is not recommend because:


All eggs in one basket
Potential for resource conflicts
No data collection buffering
No client server autonomy
Challenging to expand or modify

A single-host system that includes FactoryTalk VantagePoint is also supported within limits:
62869 - FactoryTalk Historian SE and FactoryTalk VantagePoint on a Single Host Computer
PUBLIC Rockwell Automation TechED 2017 @ROKTechED #ROKTechED Copyright 2017 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 22
FactoryTalk Historian SE Two Host
A two-host FactoryTalk Historian SE system (ignoring clients) is better:
Host 1: FTD, Historian Server, Asset Framework Server, SQL Server
Host 2: Historian Live Data Interface and Data Server (RSLE)

A two-host system leverages data collection buffering (aka store and forward). However, its
scalability is limited and the potential for resource conflicts still exists on Host 1.

PUBLIC Rockwell Automation TechED 2017 @ROKTechED #ROKTechED Copyright 2017 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 23
FactoryTalk Historian SE Three Host
A three-host FactoryTalk Historian SE system (ignoring clients) is best:
Host 1: FT Directory, FT Asset Framework Server, SQL Server (Express or Standard)
Host 2: FT Historian Server
Host 3: FT Historian LiveData Interface (FTLD) and Data Server (RSLE)

A three-host system is the Best Practice because it is the most scalable and minimizes the potential for
resource conflicts.

Area Best Practices
Any 1 Area contains only 1 Server of any
type (HMI or Data)
Any 1 installation of a server instance is
referenced 1 time. Value is then shared
with the application.
Use proper load balancing of components
to keep steady state CPU utilization <40%

IIS Internet Information Services
Internet Information Server (IIS) is a required component only for a computer hosting
ProcessBook displays using ActiveView. If ActiveView is being used, then this
computer may be the FactoryTalk Historian server, or it may be a separate, dedicated
web server. IIS is not required (and not recommended) for any other FactoryTalk
Historian SE computers (e.g., FactoryTalk LiveData servers, interface nodes, clients,
etc).
If using FactoryTalk View SE Clients to host ProcessBook displays, IIS is already a
requirement for FactoryTalk View and no extra IIS server would be required.

Firewalls
The most important aspect of a firewall is that it is at the entry/exit point of the
networked system it protects not within it!
A firewall is designed to block network traffic on one segment of a network
from reaching another.
This is inherently bad for a distributed system that depends on remote
communications.
The opening of ports within a firewall may present a security concern, and
an IT security expert will need to be involved in the configuration.
898270 TCP/UDP ports used by Rockwell Automation products
Many other components (such as DCOM and MS authentication services)
assign ports at runtime (dynamic).

Architecture Concepts: Firewall 101
Firewalls DO the following:
Separate networks
Block traffic based on user, TCP/UDP
port number (the pipe) and
source/destination
Act with authentications models (for
example, Active Directory)
Firewalls DO NOT do any:
Virus blocking
Intrusion detection OR prevention
Use RDP Services to go through a Firewall

be able to manage and change the interface configuration

Performance Monitoring
FactoryTalk Historian ships with performance monitoring components:
The Manufacturing Control Network (MCN) Health Monitor package is a set of data collectors (PI Interfaces) and client tools
that facilitates the collection, organization, and visualization of your IT performance data. The MCN Health Monitor is invaluable
for monitoring and managing devices such as:

Firewalls
Control system applications
Network routers & switches
Communications network itself
Leveraging FactoryTalk Historian SE core technology and investment, MCN Health Monitor both minimizes the required
investment necessary to monitor IT infrastructures and increases the FactoryTalk Historian SE return on investment.
