Collector Spare Configuration

Spare configuration enables you to add additional configurations to tag. You can add additional configurations using the Spare 1 to Spare 5 fields in all collectors except in Server to Server collector, Server to Server Distributor collector and OSI PI distributor.
  • In case of OSI PI distributor, data is read from the Historian tag displayed in the Tag Source Address field and sent to the OSI PI tag name displayed in the Spare 1 field. To control the source and destination tags, change the Tag Source Address and Spare 1 field. You can add or update configurations in Spare 2 to Spare 5 fields.
    Note: Do not add or update any configurations to Spare 1 field from Excel Add-In, Trend Client, Web Admin Console or Historian Administrator.
  • In case of Server to Server and Server to Server Distributor collectors, you can add or update Spare 1 to Spare 4 fields, but the Spare 5 field is used only for internal purposes.
    Note: Do not add or update any configurations in the Spare 5 field from Excel Add-In, Trend Client, Web Admin Console or Historian Administrator as the data may get corrupted or over written.
