- Key Features & Benefits
The TOP Server® Local Historian Plug-in is used in conjunction with any other TOP Server driver that is collecting data from devices or other data servers to create a local historical data store.
The TOP Server Local Historian Plug-In moves data collection, storage and access closer to the data source to prevent data loss and improve operational efficiency. Because the Local Historian plugs directly into TOP Server, it can connect to any device and add devices in real-time without operational downtime. This plug-in architecture simplifies configuration, provides the required flexibility and makes the information accessible across OPC HDA, an open standard.
Available as either a 500 tag or 10,000 tag option, the TOP Server Local Historian Plug-In is NOT intended as a replacement or alternative to enterprise level historian solutions. Instead, the Local Historian Plug-In is intended for smaller volumes of data and will complement the powerful functionality of enterprise historian solutions in many situations including remote, isolated locations such as off-shore oil/gas drilling rigs, secure facilities such as laboratories, smaller operations where historical needs are small and an enterprise solution doesn't fit yet, and where validation of stored data is desired for the enterprise historian.
