BENEFITS

• Additional file compare filtering available for

Generic FTP Devices reduces the amount of

time comparing, by comparing only the file

types required.

FactoryTalk AssetCentre Agents

FactoryTalk AssetCentre Agents can be added to handle larger systems with higher asset count.

FactoryTalk AssetCentre Scheduler automatically load-balances agents tasks across agent

If an agent fails, the system adjusts automatically


Additional Agent Groups

Helps with multiple operating systems, network architecture support and application version requirements

AssetCentre Server comes with the ability for 2 Agent Groups.

This additional will allow you to expand the number of defined Agent Groups by 4. With Agent Groups, you can group devices together and optimize the upload operations across the list of devices you are supporting as part of your Disaster Recovery solution.

FactoryTalk AssetCentreAgent Group Summary

2

Agent Groups give the ability to categorize FTAC agents, allowing agents to be configured independently of one another (i.e., Not Equal.)

Configured using the new Agent Group plug-in:

Disaster Recovery capable assets are now associated with a specific Agent group in their configuration properties:

FTAC Server activation provides licensing for 2 agent groups.

Maximum of 10 agent groupsrecommend (4 groups per activation.)

Asset Inventory Agent

Maintains a version inventory of devices running in the plant

HELPS TO ORGANIZE AUTOMATION INVESTMENT

Constantlyscanning the

network


Asset Inventory Agent

Problem: Managing software and firmware versions of the automation

devices used in production

Today this is done manually – no means of automating collection of device

version information

Asset Inventory Agent improves overall productivity by automatically

keeping track of the firmware versions in your devices, as well as your

infrastructure.

You can track addition/removal of devices in your network as well as

FW updates for the devices.


Asset Inventory Agent Overview

Scan the network to discover connected devices and work station computers

Maintain an inventory of versions of HW/FW/SW running the plant

Allow for manual entry of data for

Details that are not captured in the devices

Devices that are not available over the network

Premier integration with AssetCentre will provide: Automatic Discovery, Backup &

Compare, Version Control, Notification, Search and Reporting

Allow customers to discover & maintain an inventory of devices in the plant and

help organize their automation investment effectively!


Details

AssetCentre 7.0 – Asset Inventory Agent

Inventory Agent will scan (any combination of)

Rockwell CIP devices over *Ethernet/IP, ControlNet,

DeviceNet, DH+, etc.

SNMP devices like Network Switches

Windows based PCs & Workstations for SW

Integrated with AssetCentre’s Agent Framework

User configures scan using AssetCentre’s Client

Schedules the scan with Agents

Agents are equipped with Inventory Agent

Results get persisted within AssetCentre’s Archive

*Ethernet/IP is recommended for the best performance
