Historical Data Collection

Historical Data Collection

High Historical Data Integrity

The ControlWave Historical Data Collection sys- tem offers exceptional historical data integrity by providing time-stamped historical data storage in ControlWave flash memory. The historical data is collected, through OpenBSI, on a scheduled or demand basis and converted to .CSV and ODBC compliant file formats for use in spreadsheets and reports. If data is missed due to a communication failure, it is collected when the communications is re-established and the PC historical database is backfilled with the missing data. This distributed historical database architecture provides the great- est data reliability and integrity during communica- tion or PC failuer.

cal archive in addition to the real-time alarm report- ing system.

This file is also collected through OpenBSI and presented as a text file in the PC. This functionality is extremely useful in providing an event trail dur- ing communication or PC downtime or other sytem problem.

Archive collection - collection and storage to disk of the ControlWave archive data

Audit collection - collection and storage to disk of the ControlWave audit data

Exports data files to third party, .CSV & ODBC applications

DDE compliant for use with other popular Windows applications

OPC Server

With industry demand for open standards, ControlWave answers the call by embracing tech- nologies that open the door for maximizing your efficiency and productivity. The OPC standard was developed by the OPC Foundation comprised of hardware and software suppliers from the process control community. OPC allows the engineer to select best in class hardware and software with con- fidence in their interoperability. Our OpenBSI OPC Server was among the first to comply with the OPC Foundation alarm and event server specification.
