Chapter 5
Creating Multiple FTSS Tags

In "Configuring FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface
(page 19)", we have used as an example an internal FactoryTalk
Historian SE point for creating a target FTSS point on the Target
Server. In real life, you would need to create multiple FTSS target
points for multiple source points collected through an FTLD
interface instead, so that they can be used for transferring data by the
H2H Interface.
To automate the process of creating the FTSS tags, you can use the
Tag Configurator Excel Add-in, distributed with the FactoryTalk
Historian Management Tools.
NOTE
For information on supported versions of Microsoft Excel, refer to the

FactoryTalk Historian SE Release Notes.
The process of creating the multiple FTSS tags, consists of the

following steps:
1. Importing FTLD tags from the source server (page 25).
2. Editing the imported data to create FTSS tags (page 26).
3. Exporting the created FTSS tags to the target server (page 27).
Import FTLD Tags from the

Source Server
To import FTLD tags:

1. Open Microsoft Excel.
2. On the ribbon, click the Add-Ins tab.
NOTE
If you cannot see the tab, refer to the FactoryTalk Historian SE

Installation and Configuration Guide, section "Configuring Excel
Add-ins for FactoryTalk Clients" to learn how to enable it
manually.
25
Chapter 5 Creating Multiple FTSS Tags
3. In the Add-Ins tab, click PI-SMT, and select Import Tags.

The Import PI Tags dialog box appears.
4. Under Import from, select the Source Server that uses the
FTLD interface.
NOTE
If the server is not listed, click Connections and add the server
in the Connection Manager. Refer to the help in the Connection
Manager for more information.
5. Under Point Source, type FTLD.

6. Click OK. The tags are imported and displayed in the Excel
workbook.
Create FTSS Tags
In these steps we will automate the process of creating FTSS tags

described in "Create a Target Point on the Target Server (page 21)".
To create FTSS tags:
1. In the Excel workbook, select the tag names in the Tag column
for which you want your H2H Interface to collect data.
2. Press Ctrl+C to copy the names of the tags.
3. Click Sheet2, press Ctrl+V to paste the names of the tags to
the A column, starting from the A1 cell.
4. In the B1 cell, type STAG=.
5. In the C1 cell, type =$B$1&A1.
In this way you create a formula that will add the expression
from the B1 cell to all the cells to which you will copy it.
6. In the C column, copy the C1 cell and paste it in the
subsequent cells of the column that are located in the rows
with the tag names you have pasted in the A column.
In this way you add a STAG= expression to each name of the
tag.
7. Copy the modified tag names from the C column.
8. Click Sheet1 and go to the exdesc column.
26
Creating Multiple FTSS Tags Chapter 5
9. Right-click the first cell in the exdesc column to which you

will paste the modified tag names.
10. Select Paste Special >
. The modified tag names are
pasted to the subsequent cells of the exdesc column.
In this way you create references to the source tags for the
FTSS target tags you are about to create.
11. Go to the Tag column, and rename the tags you have selected
and copied.
In this way you create names for the FTSS tags.
12. Go to the pointsource column, and replace FTLD with FTSS.
In this way you define the tags as FTSS tags.
13. Go to the location1 column, and type for each modified tag
the ID number of your H2H Interface.
See step 7 in "Create an Interface Instance in the ICU (page
19)" for more information.
14. Go to the location4 column, and type for each modified tag
the Scan Class number of your H2H Interface.
See step 11 in "Create an Interface Instance in the ICU (page
19)" for more information.
15. Save the Excel workbook.
Export FTSS Tags to the

Target Server
NOTE
When you import tags to the Excel workbook, all the imported tags are
marked with an x in the Select (x) column. If you do not want to export
all the tags, leave the x mark only next to the tags you want to export.
To export the FTSS tags:

1. On the ribbon, click PI-SMT > Export Tags. The Export PI
Tags dialog box appears.
2. Under Export to, select the PI Server.
3. Under PI Server, select the target server.
