Feature tokens

Each
FactoryTalk® Optix™
 runtime entitlement corresponds to a "token container", within which designers can select and activate the functions necessary to develop an application. Feature tokens function as a unit of currency and accumulate as you configure more features in an application. Each function has a token value associated with it, and some functions can be used for free without having a token cost. You can upgrade your entitlement at any time to allow application expansion, and there is an unlimited option that gives you maximum flexibility and expansion.
The selection of components and functions to be activated and used in the project is done at the time of programming with
FactoryTalk® Optix Studio™
.
FactoryTalk® Optix™
 runtime verifies that the total amount of tokens associated with all features activated is within the token limit of your purchased entitlement.
Examples of features that affect the sizing of your application include the following:
  • Controller connections
  • Multiple web clients
  • Alarming
  • Recipe
  • PDF reports
  • Data logging
  • Database connectivity
  • OPC UA connectivity
