PRESENTATION ON
OVATION
Base Unit
Hardware that consists of a printed circuit board,
various connectors, and plastic housing and provides a
mechanism for the user to land field wiring, and
connects the field signals to the I/O module.
Branch
Set of Base Units configured consecutively on a DIN rail
with a local bus being connected to the Ovation I/O
Controller.
Controller
A drop used to control a process. The Controller passes
process control information over the network to other
drops or devices that need it.
Data Highway
The communication link used to transfer time-critical
information between drops or stations; also called a
Local Area Network (LAN) or network.
DIN
Connector conforming to the specifications of the
German standards organization (Deutsche Industrie
Norm).
Distributed Database
Contains a subset of the information stored on the
Master Database and is stored locally on a drop to allow
that drop to operate if the Master Database is
unavailable.
Distributed I/O
Hardware used to communicate between the
processor and I/O modules located outside the
processor chassis (also called Remote I/O).
Domain
Logical collection of computers and users on a
network that share a common security database.
Drop
A collective term for a Controller, Workstation, or
Database Server that is a member of an Ovation
network and is defined as a drop by an Ovation
configuration tool (Developer Studio).

Point name that specifically identifies a point by
combining three parameters. Format is
pointname.unit@network

HISTORIAN ARCHITECTURE
Modular Design:
Historian functions separated in to independent software
subsystem.
Each subsystem performs unique function like scanning ,
collecting, storing , retrieving or displaying historical data.
• Client /server Architecture:
Server portion runs on historian. Server
collects the data from ovation network, send
the data to archive storage and responds to
retrieval requests.
Client application program runs on operator
or engineer work station. It provides the
functions to display ,print or save the data
collected by server.
HISTORICAL SCANNING AND COLLECTING:
Scans or collects six type of historical data
Real time point values and statuses
Laboratory data
High speed data
Alarm messages
Operator action messages
Sequence of events messages
Report files
POINT HISTORY:
Main History:
Continually collects process point data
Scan up to 20,000 data points
Multiple scan frequency defined by the user on 1sec
increments
Collection based on dead band Selection and change in point
status
Long term storage Memory:
• Collects and store process point data and retrieves data based on user
request
• Scans 600 user definable points and stores the value in online storage
value
• Collection based on dead band Selection and change in point status
• Dedicated storage allows information to remain online for long time
EVENT HISTORY:
Events such as plant trips or equipment
startup can be saved.
Once event is activated 500 user defined
points are collected at 100 ms rate and
scheduled for archive.
Scans and collects 1hr worth of data.
OWS or EWS can generate trends or reviews of
the values collected in the event history.
POINT GROUP HISTORY:
Itis similar to the event history capable to
define up to 5 historical groups of 20 points
each.
Scan and collect information on points with in
the predefined sets at a 100ms rate for an
hour.
Collection of group data associated with
Event History Point group
common control functions
Scan Rate 100ms 100ms
Points Scanned 500 points Up to 5 group of
20 each
Collection rate 100ms 100ms
LABORATORY DATA
Unique data collection method for handling point
data , i.e. not acquired in real time.
Up to 1000 individual points collected via manual
entry or by communication with external device
Stored in to historical archive for use in trends ,
reports and other retrieval functions
MESSAGE HISTORY
Alarm History
Receives and stores alarm sent by alarm logging drop
Allows an operator or engineer to display , print or save to a
file the list of alarms collected
Capability to filter the alarm list based on factors such as
Point name
Time period or
Originating period.
OPERATOR EVENT HISTORY
Records operator actions received from OWS or
ovation controller
Data Retrieval up on client application request
Filtering is done through time period
originating drop or event type
File History
Saves and archive operator shift diary output
and report generator output as data files in the
historian.
File history client interface used to retrieve
these data from historian by OWS or EWS
SEQUENCE OF EVENT HISTORY
Collects SOE data from controller ,sorts in to a
list and searches the “first-out” events.
Interface allows the operator to view the SOE
report and filter it based on tag name ,
controller or “first-out” point
Appropriate SOE I/O modules are equipped to
perform function.
HISTORICAL DATA STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL
Historical data scanned and collected is stored for
future retrievals
Historian utilizes 3 storage areas
Primary storage
Secondary Storage
Long term Storage
• Primary Storage
• Stores most recently collected data
• Includes information from main event point long
term histories.
• Information from primary storage transferred to
secondary storage at user selectable time.
• It allows Primary storage to clear and available for
collection of the next time period data
SECONDARY STORAGE
Maintains a period of historical files on hard
disk.
Automatic copy of all data placed in secondary
storage to long-term storage provides redundancy
Storage limits are determined by capacity of hard
drive(s) and size of files.
LONG TERM STORAGE
Optical disk storage is available to store up to 5.2
gigabytes
Disk size varies from 80GB to 400GB
Storage Summary
Type Minimum Size
Primary Hard Drive 2GB
Secondary Hard Drive 4GB+
Long term Optical Disk 5.2GB/disk
Drive 80-330GB
Drive Jukeboxes
ARCHIVE MANAGER
3 functions
Moves Historical files
Manages retrieval functions
Manages redundancy and recovery functions
Moving Historical files
Responsible for moving historical files from
one storage place to another
Files are automatically moved from primary to
secondary and from secondary to long term
storage
Deletes oldest secondary files when
permanently placed in long term storage
MANAGING DATA RETRIEVALS
Automatically locates stored historical data for
retrievals
It can find information stored in the hard drive
when user enters the requested time.
Automatic retrieval of information within an
optical jukebox is a unique function
Redundancy and Recovery
Consist of two separate identical sets of
computer hardware
Concurrent redundancy scheme in primary
and partner historians
RETRIEVAL HISTORICAL DATA
Historical Trends
Utilize information collected in the data histories
Up to 8 user definable points can be trended.
Time period can be determined by the user
Time periods can be defined in 3 ways
Start and End times
End time with specified intervals
Start time with specified intervals
• Point Review
•Tabular method of displaying historical information
• Point group Review
•Allows operator to display , print or save to a file
the historical data collected from the point group
history.
ALARM REVIEW
• Allows operator to display , print or save to a file the
historical data collected from the alarm history.
Operator Event History
List of events filters the list of operator events by time
period originating drops or events
SOE Review
Allows the operator to view SOE report generated
by SOE history.
SQL Queries
Historical data may be recalled in response to
standard SQL
data queries
