Re: [foxboro] AIM Historian

Terry,

FoxAPI provides historian calls to do what you want. They work with both
the I/A Series Historian, a.k.a., data historian or legacy historin, and
AIM*Historian.

The calls are documented in B0193UD. I'll send you a copy off list.

It's not hard at all really.

Martijn,

Thank you for your suggestion.  I did think about DTIME but at 10 =3D
buckets per block with 10 seconds period that means 9 DTIME blocks per =3D
(15 minutes) signal or 900 DTIME blocks.  I was hoping that a single =3D
C-program reading an ascii file listing all my C:B.P of the signals then
=3D
setting a BOOL.VALUE (if TRUE) would be much easier to maintain. The =3D
values are already inside the Historian.

We also looked at using IND blocks to move the measurements through a =3D
matrix every 10 seconds for 15 minutes. On a test bed, this worked fine
=3D
but for the 100 signals, the memory required  in the CP is too high to =3D
make this practical.

I appreciate your response and it may be the way to go in the end but it
=3D
makes the maintenance of this application a little difficult if a =3D
specification change (eg. 20 minutes instead of 15 minutes) is required
=3D
later.

Terry

Terry,
I would solve this in control.=3D20
Using a DTIME block to do the 15 min delay and an AIN or REALM block to
=3D
do the alarming. The loops can run at regular processing period (0,5 or
=3D
1 sec).=3D20

List,

We have AIM*Historian gathering thousands of measurements every 5 =3D
seconds.

On the same AW70 we would like to write a C program..

For 100 measurements,
we want to look at the latest value (either current or last written to =3D
Historian)=3D3D20 minus the value 15 minutes ago and set a flag if the =3D
difference is greater than=3D3D20 a fixed value.  (5 sec / sample =3D3D3D =
=3D
180 samples / 15 minutes) *100

What is the best way to read the two values?  =3D3D20 We would like the =3D=

caulculations to be performed about every 10 seconds.

Does anyone have experience with similar applications using AIMAPI or =3D
AIM*DataLink?

Thanks,

Terry
