Applications for Manufacturing Historians

Historians are utilized across many industries and applications:
Consumer Products, Food and Beverage, Automotive, Life Sciences
Continuous Process, Packaging, Material Routing
Key benefits of a Historian:
Capture and process high-speed, time-series data
Store in a central (Site or Enterprise) data repository for future analysis
Historical data is used for:
Analysis through calculations, statistical processes, quality controls
Supports business and operational analysis:
Trends and graphs of data
Turns Data into Information!

FactoryTalk Historian Machine Edition (ME)

New Embedded Historian Module for ControlLogix
Capability for High Speed data collection in the backplane
13
Specifics
Backplane connectivity
10 millisecond scan rates
2500 events / second
High Speed Data collection utilizes controller trend object
Very fast
Very deterministic data collection
14
Specifics
One (1) and Two (2) GB memory sizes

Store from hours to years
Worst case: 4 or 14 hours (1GB vs 2GB)
Most customer applications will need Plant Historian for persistent
storage
15
Remote / Offline Data Collection

Collect data where you dont want a PC
No OS/Patches/Viruses
Hazardous areas
Remote areas hard to service

When connection is down,

the module will store data
and forward the data once
the connection is back up.
