EASY CONFIGURATION & MAINTENANCE Configure Your System Simply & Efficiently Using One Plant Model & Enhanced Data Analysis IndustrialSQL Server software has been designed to integrate seamlessly with Wonderware s Industrial Application Server, which is built on the ArchestrA software architecture. This groundbreaking architecture extends the life of legacy systems by leveraging the latest software technologies. The Industrial Application Server provides significant engineering cost savings through the use of an object-based plant model and common namespace. Reusable and extensible objects representing typical plant assets can be created, customized and organized following the physical or logical structure of your plant. Once deployed, these objects can furnish data to the IndustrialSQL Server realtime plant historian. Furthermore, Industrial Application Server objects can greatly simplify configuration of the IndustrialSQL Server historian. For example, history extensions for object parameters are predefined, allowing for oneclick parameter configuration, without additional setup or configuration. The Industrial Application Server s plant model incorporates data tags and logically organizes data elements representing the plant as a whole (or multiple plant systems), one area within a plant or specific equipment. These tags and elements can then be downloaded into the InSQL software to provide a unified view of the entire plant s history for easier troubleshooting and process improvement efforts. Capture Complete Data Records, Even from Slow or Intermittent Networks The IndustrialSQL Server historian captures complete data records with its fault-tolerant data acquisition system and platform, which is appropriate for SCADA and other applications that use slow or intermittent data networks. The InSQL historian can acquire and store data collected by remote terminal units (RTUs), providing more complete data records for SCADA operations. Adeptly Retrieve Information with Flexible Data Source Configuration & Dynamic Reconfiguration The IndustrialSQL Server historian flexibly defines how data is acquired, stored and retrieved. All data regardless of its source or time of entry is fully integrated into a unified plant information database for easy retrieval of comprehensive historical data as well as configuration, event and summary information. The InSQL software s Dynamic Reconfiguration feature accommodates fast, simple alterations to the historian s data collection configuration without interrupting data collection or breaking the stream of process data. Entire IndustrialSQL Server configuration databases can be imported or exported to other IndustrialSQL Server historians. In addition, users can edit configuration files using Microsoft Excel software. What s more, the Configuration Import/Export function makes it easy to pull in existing configuration information from other data sources, such as human-machine interface (HMI) applications. This enables diverse manufacturing enterprises to standardize on the IndustrialSQL Server historian without replacing existing systems. Real-time production data can be acquired automatically, at full resolution, directly from an extensive range of data sources including: Industry-standard OPC servers; Greater than 600 device-specific I/O Servers; and Wonderware s Data Access Servers (DA Servers). Non-real-time, manual or off-network data can also be fully incorporated into the realtime production database via a powerful and versatile set of data import tools.

6 Moreover, the embedded Microsoft SQL Server technology provides industry-standard SQL and ODBC connectivity to other plant data systems, such as lab and maintenance management systems so that all of your plant data can be found in one place. Conveniently & Securely Manage Multiple Historians via a Single Management Console Multiple IndustrialSQL Server historians and associated Microsoft SQL Servers can be conveniently and securely managed through a single system management console. Based on the Microsoft Management Console, this single console can be accessed anywhere on the network, including the system administrator s desktop. Centralized system administration saves valuable IT time and lowers overall system costs. Save Your Data with the Store & Forward Feature If the network connection to the IndustrialSQL Server node or the node itself is lost, then the Store & Forward function is automatically activated. Data is stored locally on the IDAS or IAS node until connection to the IndustrialSQL Server node is re-established. No data is lost. The Store & Forward function makes servicing and administrating the IndustrialSQL Server node convenient and secure. Buffer Your Data Sources with the IDAS or IAS Failover Feature The IDAS or IAS acquires data from an I/O Server and forwards it to the IndustrialSQL Server node for data storage. A redundant, secondary node can be configured so that, if the primary node is lost, then the secondary automatically acquires the data. Remote configuration is easy and can be quickly configured via a few mouse clicks. Furthermore, these services can be located anywhere on the plant network. InTouch InTouch Microsoft s Management and Configuration Console is leveraged by IndustrialSQL Server 9.0 ensuring efficient and flexible system management. Single Plant Floor Network InSQL Server Production Network Remote Acquisition Acquisition Failover Store & Forward IO Source Failover Single or Redundant Application Servers Redundant Plant Floor Networks HIGH AVAILABILITY The IndustrialSQL Server historian acquires distributed plant data from I/O Servers via either the IndustrialSQL Data Acquisition Service (IDAS) or the Industrial Application Server (IAS). Both IDAS and IAS can run remotely and in redundant configurations, so that plant network failures do not adversely affect data collection, virtually eliminating the need for expensive redundant processing hardware. IDAS and IAS automatically provide Store and Forward functionality if there is a loss of the primary IndustrialSQL Server node. Moreover, the InSQL software s failover capabilities can significantly reduce data loss associated with interrupted connection with the I/O Server. Read additional details about the IndustrialSQL Server historian s specific high availability functions to the right. PLC PLC PLC PLC PLC PLC IndustrialSQL Server 9.0 delivers high availability through a comprehensive system approach. Protect Your Data with I/O Failover & Redundant Systems Multiple I/O Servers can be configured to enable automatic failover to the secondary I/O Server in case the primary I/O Server is lost. Data flow is maintained. Dual communication paths from the I/O Server to each PLC can also be specified. So, if one network goes down, then data can still be collected via the secondary network path. For particularly critical applications, special redundant hardware systems have also been tested and are capable of providing up to % uptime.

7 Microsoft Failover Clusters Support for Platform Redundancy The Enterprise Edition of IndustrialSQL Server supports failover of active-passive clustering configurations on two PC clusters significantly improving historian availability. In this type of clustering, one PC runs IndustrialSQL Server software while the other PC within the cluster is idle (IndustrialSQL Server is installed but not running). If the PC running IndustrialSQL Server fails, the clustering software automatically start IndustrialSQL Server Enterprise Edition on the second PC and shifts the work to that PC. ActiveFactory Workbook gives Microsoft Excel pointand-click access to IndustrialSQL Server data for reporting and analysis. Process Data IO (Plant Network) Client Requests (Business Network) POWERFUL EVENT MONITOR Primary SCSI IndustrialSQL Server failover cluster support. EXTENSIBILITY Heartbeat RAID 0+1 Shared Disk SCSI Secondary Customize Applications & Databases to Suit Your Needs The InSQL database is easily extended with additional tables, stored procedures and views to accommodate specific information requirements. Customized event detectors and actions can be created using standardized tools to extend the power of the event system. The new IndustrialSQL Server Toolkit, which is included with the FactorySuite A? Toolkit, enables programmatic access to the InSQL historian from within standalone Microsoft.NET applications, as well as from within Industrial Application Server scripts. The DA Server Toolkit can also facilitate the device integration capabilities necessary to collect more plant data. Respond Rapidly to Critical Events with Automatic Event Detection & Notification The IndustrialSQL Server historian s highly configurable system detects and reacts to a wide range of process events such as when batches come to an end, ingredients are added manually or machines go down. Events can trigger a data snapshot, an alert or the modification of a specific data acquisition process or parameter, such as data collection intervals or value deadbands. The event system ensures that meaningful data is available when it is needed and that proper notifications are given to plant decision-makers regarding significant process events. The Wonderware Industrial Application Server expands the InSQL historian s eventmonitoring capabilities by configuring objects that capture and distribute information to and from multiple data sources. For example, when real-time events occur, the Industrial Application Server will capture the requisite information to describe the event. These objects can also be configured to handle the upload and download of information required by ERP systems, business applications and databases. Furthermore, the Industrial Application Server can also write directly to PLCs setpoints and other control-related hardware, enabling plant personnel to take immediate action.
