To integrate Plant SCADA data into AVEVA Historian, you initially need to identify the variables you would like to include within your Plant SCADA project.

The following variable types are supported:

  • Variable tags (digital and string types only)

  • Trend tags (SPC tags not supported)

  • Digital alarms

  • Time-stamped alarms

  • Analog alarms

  • Advanced alarms

  • Multi-digital alarms

  • Time-stamped digital alarms

  • Time-stamped analog alarms.

For each variable you would like integrated into Historian, you need to set the Historize field to "TRUE".

HistorizeField_TRUE

You then need to set up the AVEVA Historian Plant SCADA Connector to send your Plant SCADA data to AVEVA Historian. This includes configuring a Plant SCADA CtAPI server to provide data to the connector.
