Historical Data Collection
High Historical Data Integrity
The ControlWave Historical Data Collection sys-
tem offers exceptional historical data integrity by
providing time-stamped historical data storage in
ControlWave ash memory. The historical data
is collected, through OpenBSI on a scheduled or
demand basis and converted to .CSV and ODBC
compliant le formats for use in spreadsheets and
reports. If data is missed due to a communication
failure, it is collected when the communication is
reestablished and the PC historical database is
backlled with the missing data. This distributed his-
torical database architecture provides the greatest
data reliability and integrity during communication or
PC failure.
Another important historical feature is the Audit
storage and collection system. The Audit Trail is a
le stored in ControlWave ash memory containing
signicant events and time-stamped alarms. The
alarms stored in the Audit system provide a histori-
cal archive in addition to the real-time alarm report-
ing system.
This le is also collected through OpenBSI and
presented as a text le in the PC. This functionality
is extremely useful in providing an event trail during
communication or PC downtime or other system
problem.

OPC Server
With industry demand for open standards,
ControlWave answers the call by embracing tech-
nologies that open the door for maximizing your
efciency and productivity. The OPC standard was
developed by the OPC Foundation comprised of
hardware and software suppliers from the process
control community. OPC allows the engineer to
select best in class hardware and software with con-
dence in their interoperability. Our OpenBSI OPC
Server was among the rst to comply with the OPC
Foundation alarm and event server specication.
