Application Sizing

Feature tokens function as a unit of currency and accumulate as you configure more features in an application. Each function has either a base token or an extended token value, some functions are free with a token value of zero. You can upgrade your entitlement at any time to allow application expansion with unlimited options for maximum flexibility and expansion.
Once the project development is complete with
FactoryTalk® Optix Studio™
,
FactoryTalk® Optix™
Runtime verifies that the total number of base tokens and extended tokens that are associated with all activated features is within the token limit of your purchased entitlements.
Each
FactoryTalk® Optix™
Runtime entitlement corresponds to a base token package and an extended token package when needed (see Base and Extended Tokens). Within these packages, 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 or workstation clients
  • Alarming
  • Recipe
  • PDF reports
  • Data logging
  • Database connectivity
  • OPC UA connectivity
  • High availability
