Integration with Historian

Plant SCADA supports the ability to automatically historize and publish variables within CitectHistorian. This capability offers a tightly integrated solution for collecting historical data, as variables can be passed to the Historian environment with minimal configuration. It is a particularly useful feature if your SCADA project has a large number of variables that need to be chronicled.

When a Plant SCADA project is added to Historian as a control system data source, the Use SCADA Configuration To Historize and Publish feature allows tags, trends and alarms to be imported and automatically configured within the Historian environment.

The automated configuration process will implement any equipment hierarchies defined in the source SCADA system, and apply the data acquisition method appropriate to the source variable type.

To prepare variables for automated configuration within Historian, you need to initially identify them within your Plant SCADA project. For more information, see Prepare Variables for Historian Integration.
