About
Studio 5000 Smart Object Configurator

Studio 5000 Smart Object Configurator
 gathers metrics on specific data by bundling the data and delivering it to higher-level systems for processing.
Use
Studio 5000 Smart Object Configurator
 to:
  • Turn existing Logix tags into
    FactoryTalk Smart Object
     instances by extending existing base Logix tags with an additional set of user-defined configuration properties.
  • Organize
    FactoryTalk Smart Object
     instances into information models and define synchronous data collection based on the model hierarchy.
FactoryTalk® Edge Gateway™
 consumes both the
FactoryTalk Smart Object
 information models and collected data and then delivers the contextualized synchronous data to applications.
TIP:
One
FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
 instance connects to one
FactoryTalk Smart Object
 instance. Multiple instances of
FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
 cannot connect to the same
FactoryTalk Smart Object
 instance.
Configuration performed in
Studio 5000 Smart Object Configurator
 transfers to the controller and appears in parallel with the existing ladder logic. Changes are not saved to the .acd file until the .acd file is saved in
Logix 5000
.
TIP:
Use program-scoped tags to create
FactoryTalk Smart Object
 instances in
Studio 5000 Smart Object Configurator
. Creating controller-scoped
FactoryTalk Smart Object
 causes an error on the
Studio 5000 Smart Object Configurator
.
