Course Overview

The FactoryTalk Historian Site Edition Configuration and Data Collection (RS-FTHSEC) course by Rockwell Automation is designed for professionals responsible for configuring and managing industrial data collection systems, including Field Engineers, Maintenance and Plant Support (MPS) personnel, and Pre-sales Consultants. This instructor-led training equips learners with the skills to configure a FactoryTalk Historian Site Edition system, import tags, apply exception and compression filtering, and manage data redundancy and backups. With over 80% of Fortune 500 manufacturing companies utilizing Rockwell Automation platforms for operational intelligence, expertise in FactoryTalk Historian tools is in high demand across process and discrete industries.

Students engage with core technologies including FactoryTalk Historian SE, FactoryTalk View SE TrendPro, Microsoft Excel Tag Configurator, Asset Framework, Pi Vision, and FactoryTalk Vantage Point. The hands-on lab environment uses Virtual Machine images to simulate a real production facility, allowing students to build complete historian configurations from scratch. Learners perform tasks such as creating server connections, importing tags, configuring high availability, scheduling backups, and backfilling historical data. A key project involves setting up a fully redundant data collection system using both Polled and Advised modes while applying performance equations and digital state management within the Asset Framework.

While RS-FTHSEC does not lead to a standalone certification exam, it provides foundational knowledge recognized by Rockwell Automation partners and integrators globally, supporting career advancement in industrial IT and automation roles. Professionals with FactoryTalk Historian skills report average salary increases of 15–20% when transitioning into data infrastructure or MES integration roles.
