3. What the Wonderware Historian Does
The Wonderware Historian bridges the gap between the real-
time high volume plant monitoring and control environment
and the open and flexible business information
environment. The historian:
► Acquires plant data via high-speed Wonderware I/O
Servers, DAServers, InTouch HMI software, Industrial
Application Server, and other devices.
► Compresses and stores the data.
► Responds to SQL requests for the plant data.
The historian also contains event, summary, configuration,
security, backup, and system monitoring information.

The historian is tightly coupled to Microsoft SQL Server.

4. It’s all about the Data
Process data is any type of information that is relevant
to the successful execution of a process. The following
types of information are considered part of process
data:
► Realtime data - What is the current value of this tag?
► Historical data - What was the value of this tag every
second last Monday?
► Summary data - What is the average of each of these
five tags?
► Event data - When did that boiler trip?
► Configuration data - How many I/O Servers am I using
and what are their types

5. So who needs the Historian?
►EVERYONE!

6. Why am I interested in Plant Data?
To improve performance and quality, while reducing
cost, all of this acquired information must be available
for analysis. Plant data is typically analyzed to
determine;
► Process analysis, diagnostics, and optimization.
► Predictive and preventive maintenance of equipment.
► Product and process quality (SPC/SQC).
► Health and safety; environmental impact (EPA/FDA).
► Production reporting.
► Failure analysis.
