AVEVA Historian / Historian Client Web

System Requirements

• Microsoft Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022 operating systems
• Microsoft Windows 10 operating systems
• Microsoft SQL Server 2016, 2019, 2022 Enterprise, Standard
• Redundant historian servers without the need for specialized hardware or resorting to grouped operating systems
• Disaster recovery configurations without the need for specialized hardware or third-party software

Support for Data Acquisition/Scalability

• From small applications with 10 variables to applications with 2,000,000 variables
• Sustained data transmission speeds of up to 150,000 values/second for years and bursts of up to 3,000,000 values/second
• 1 millisecond accuracy for time logging
• Use of time records from the source system or from the historian server
• Data collection from virtually any device using standard protocols such as
  • OPC DA
  • OPC UA
  • DNP3
  • Modbus
  • IEC 61850
• Support for distributed data configurations with reliable buffer in case of communication failure
• Support for configurable bandwidth limits for data collection in WAN environments
• Protection against overload of the historian server and the network after recovery due to severe communication failures

Support for Data Storage

• Storage of high-resolution data acquisition without filtering
• Optional margin-based filtering for values to reduce storage requirements
• to reduce storage requirements
• Native functions to move saved data from primary storage to secondary storage based on date or size
• Data archiving/restoration using standard file management tools (e.g., Windows Explorer)
• Granularity of 1 day or less for archiving/restoration operations
• Storage of a 16-bit data quality based on the OPC standard for each value without consuming separate tags
• Direct access to archived data from read-only removable media

Support for General Statistics

• Calculates and stores general statistics periodically for analog measurements (e.g., minimum, maximum, average values, etc.) as a separate tag
• Calculates and stores general statistics periodically for measurements with integer, string, and boolean values (e.g., total time in state, average time in state, shortest time in state, longest time in state, etc.) as a separate tag
• Calculates general statistics for each case
• Indications of the reliability of the input data within all statistical calculations (e.g. a “valid percentage”)
• Multiple tags are not needed to store multiple statistics (e.g., minimum, maximum, average values, etc.) for the same tag and the same period
• Calculates general statistics for cycle analysis
• Automatic updating of stored general statistics when new data from previously calculated statistics is collected (e.g. yesterday’s data that is in the buffer is received when statistics for yesterday have been calculated)

Support for Data Recovery

• T-SQL queries in Microsoft SQL Server

Support for System Configuration/Management

• System-wide tag hierarchies to simplify navigation
• Custom tag hierarchies to simplify navigation
• Automatic collection and storage of information on system status and health

Support for Import/Export

• Import/export of configuration in CSV files
• Configuration changes made via T-SQL
• Import of time series data in CSV files

High Availability and Disaster Recovery Functionality

• Various functions related to high system availability
• Protects data acquisition processes against I/O server failures, data acquisition system failures, or historian storage and sending functionality
• Protects client access to data through cluster support in case of failure, redundant historians or fault-tolerant servers, such as Stratus
• Provides a detailed installation guide for high availability applications
• Support for virtualization of redundant historians located in separate physical locations for disaster recovery applications

Support for Client Data Analysis

• Plant data analysis and client reporting, including at a minimum:
  • Trend analysis
  • Process Data Reporting
  • Process data reports
  • Real-time statistical process control monitoring
  • Tracking downtime of manufacturing equipment
  • Real-time OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) reports
  • Operational dashboard screens
• Wide variety of client options for trend retrieval and visualization and reporting.
• Publication of trends and reports on a web server
• Visualization of trends and reports from external applications, such as AVEVA InTouch HMI
• Publication of reports in Microsoft Office Word and Excel formats.
• Expandable
• Software developer toolkit for custom AVEVA Historian supply drivers and other complementary software applications
• Use of the toolkit in standard development environments such as Microsoft Visual Studio

Added Support

• Complete reference documentation
• Annual support contracts for software updates and technical support
• Available for all regions of the world through the network of certified system integrators
