In this chapter you will learn about:
• "Types of control connectors for the data collection (page
243)"
• "Types of enterprise connectors for the data collection (page
244)"
• "Unregistering FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
configurations (page 245)"
• "Starting and stopping FactoryTalk Transaction Manager

• "Troubleshooting (page 249)"
The FactoryTalk Transaction Manager interfaces with the industrial
control system device via a control connector. A control connector is
a Windows service that collects data from a data server, such as a
PLC and sends it to the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager.
