Application Sizing

Feature tokens function as a unit of currency and accumulate as you configure more features in an application. Each function has a token value, some functions are free with a token value of zero. 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 number of tokens that are associated with all activated features is within the token limit of your purchased entitlement.
Each
FactoryTalk® Optix™
 Runtime entitlement corresponds to a feature token package (see Feature Tokens), within which designers can select and activate the functions necessary to develop an application.
Examples of features that affect the sizing of your application:
  • Controller connections
  • Multiple web clients
  • Alarming
  • Recipe
  • PDF reports
  • Data logging
