Connecting Historian to CONNECT

The Historian Agent enables System Platform, Plant SCADA, InTouch, Edge HMI, and any other product that can supply data to AVEVA Historian via PCS, SuiteLink, DDE, and other generic data sources to transfer process data and assets from historized tags to CONNECT data services. It currently supports Historian 2020 R2 and newer, so these versions can transfer data to the scalable, secure, and connected data management ecosystem that CONNECT data services provide.
