Master Database and is stored locally on a drop to allow
that drop to operate if the Master Database is
unavailable.
 Distributed I/O
Hardware used to communicate between the
processor and I/O modules located outside the
processor chassis (also called Remote I/O).

collecting, storing , retrieving or displaying historical data.
• Client /server Architecture:
 Server portion runs on historian. Server
collects the data from ovation network, send
the data to archive storage and responds to
retrieval requests.
 Client application program runs on operator
or engineer work station. It provides the
functions to display ,print or save the data
collected by server.
HISTORICAL SCANNING AND COLLECTING:

startup can be saved.
 Once event is activated 500 user defined
points are collected at 100 ms rate and
scheduled for archive.
 Scans and collects 1hr worth of data.

 OWS or EWS can generate trends or reviews of

the values collected in the event history.
POINT GROUP HISTORY:

 Allows an operator or engineer to display , print or save to a
file the list of alarms collected
 Capability to filter the alarm list based on factors such as
 Point name
 Time period or

 Originating period.
OPERATOR EVENT HISTORY
 Records operator actions received from OWS or
ovation controller
 Data Retrieval up on client application request

 Filtering is done through time period

originating drop or event type
File History
 Saves and archive operator shift diary output
and report generator output as data files in the
historian.
 File history client interface used to retrieve
these data from historian by OWS or EWS
SEQUENCE OF EVENT HISTORY

 Collects SOE data from controller ,sorts in to a

list and searches the “first-out” events.
 Interface allows the operator to view the SOE
report and filter it based on tag name ,
controller or “first-out” point
 Appropriate SOE I/O modules are equipped to
perform function.
HISTORICAL DATA STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL
 Historical data scanned and collected is stored for
future retrievals
 Historian utilizes 3 storage areas
 Primary storage
 Secondary Storage

 Long term Storage

• Primary Storage
• Stores most recently collected data
• Includes information from main event point long
term histories.
• Information from primary storage transferred to
secondary storage at user selectable time.
• It allows Primary storage to clear and available for
collection of the next time period data
SECONDARY STORAGE
 Maintains a period of historical files on hard
disk.
 Automatic copy of all data placed in secondary
storage to long-term storage provides redundancy
 Storage limits are determined by capacity of hard
drive(s) and size of files.
