Interfaces

Use the Source tab to configure the data sources that you want the interface to read.

To add a data source, right-click the top Sources node and choose the Add option for the type of source you are configuring. Complete the form to enter authentication information for the data source.

Note: To use explicit logins for a local data store, ensure that the user running the interface and the user configuring the interface are the same user. ABB 800xA PR stores the data source credentials you enter in Windows Credential Manager. For details, see Windows Credential Manager for authentication.

Using the Source template, configure the parameters as shown in this table:

User	USER	Required. The user name required to explicitly login to ABB Ability MOM Services. Contact your ABB 800xA Administrator for additional guidance if needed.	USER=abbuser
Password	PROTECTEDPASSWORD	Required. The password for the user defined above. This will be encrypted by PI Event Frames Interface Manager. Contact your ABB 800xA Administrator for additional guidance if needed.	PROTECTEDPASSWORD=Password
Connection String	CONNECTIONSTRING	Required. The URL used to connect to ABB MOM Services. The encryption binding in the application server (such as WSS) and the hostname are used. Contact your ABB 800xA Administrator for additional guidance if needed.	CONNECTIONSTRING=wss://hostname:10940/SDS
IS95PRAccessor	IS95PRACCESSOR	Required. ID of the IS95PRACCESSOR. This is typically set to "S95PR". Contact your ABB 800xA Administrator for additional guidance if needed.	IS95PRACCESSOR=S95PR
