1. Why do we need Historians?

2. FactoryTalk Historian SE – Data Access

3. FactoryTalk Historian SE – Configuration

4. Sample Architecture & Summary

5. Question & Answer




Section 1: Why do we need Historians?




Section 1: Why do we need Historians?Transactional vs. Time-Series Data


Transactional DataSet of data in a data-processing area in which the incidence of the datais essentially random and unpredictable; hours worked, quantitiesshipped, and amounts invoiced are examples from the areas of payroll,accounts receivable, and accounts payable, respectively.Source - Answers.com

Time-Series DataQuantities that represent or trace the values taken by a variable over a

period such as a month, quarter, or year. Time-series data occurswherever the same measurements are recorded on a regular basis.Source – BusinessDictionary.com



Section 1: Why do we need Historians?Market Drivers and Industries

Market drivers for Historian software: – Changing customer demands, market/economic pressures, and the

need to continuously improve manufacturing/industrial operations – Demand for the capture and storage of high-speed, time-series

production data – Relation Database Management Systems (RDBMS) are not easily

adapted (and difficult to maintain) when acquiring, storing, andreporting large volumes of time-series data over extended periods oftime

Historians are utilized across many industries and applications: – Consumer Products, Food and Beverage, Automotive, Life Sciences – Continuous Process, Packaging, Material Routing, and more




Section 1: Why do we need Historians?To support critical activities and initiatives!

Do you need to collect time-series data for the purpose of …..• Optimizing Production Process

– Monitor and improve asset utilization – Increase yield / decrease downtime / improve actual availability

• Improving Product Quality – Determine root causes for variability – Decrease scrap and rework

• Centralized Data Collection and Storage for Compliance – Regulatory entities (EPA, DEP, FDA, etc.)

– Satisfying customer requirements and limiting liabilities• Monitoring, Optimizing, and Reducing Energy Consumption

FactoryTalk Historian Client Tools• Various tools for specific purposes

FactoryTalk Historian SE Server • Utilizes OSI PI Enterprise Pro Technology• Compresses and stores data in a time-series

archive based on point definition

Interface Node• “Touch point” to the control system –

communicates with underlying devices• Performs data capture (“snapshot”) based on

individual point configuration




Section 2: Data Access and Client Tools




Section 2: Data Access and Client ToolsData Presentation Options

• FactoryTalk View SE Trend – Native Trend Object – Supports FactoryTalk Historian SE as a data source for pens – No additional licensing required

• OLE-DB – Provides “custom” client access (Ex: Microsoft SQL Reporting Services) – No additional licensing required




Section 2: Data Access and Client ToolsFactoryTalk VantagePoint


FactoryTalk VantagePoint Overview:• Preferred web-based presentation client for

FactoryTalk products includingFactoryTalk Historian Site Edition

• Server and single client license to beincluded with FactoryTalk Historian 2.2purchase

Key Deliverables:• Install server and connect to FactoryTalk data sources• Web-based zero install client• View pre-configured reports, trends, and dashboards

– Alarm and Event Reports – Product Reports – Control Loop Reports

• Non-programmer can build, publish a new report inless than a day
