Hierarchical Tags Available in Browse

The Schneider Electric Wonderware server supports the hierarchical organization of your tags in a tree structure. Historian uses the server's hierarchy allowing you to browse GE Data Collector for Wonderware in the Non-Web Administrator mode.

To browse for data collector tags in a hierarchy:

Procedure

  1. Browse your Wonderware data source for new Wonderware data tags.
  2. From the Collector list, select the GE Data Collector for Wonderware you wish to browse. A hierarchical tree appears in the Browse Results window.
  3. To limit the displayed tags to only those that are not collected, from the Show Only list select Source Tags Not Collected from the drop-down menu.
  4. To limit the displayed tags to match a tag name or tag description, enter the value to match in the Source Tag Name or Description text boxes.
  5. Navigate to the node in the tree you want to browse, and then click Browse. The tags within the selected portion of the Wonderware tag hierarchy will be displayed
  6. Select the tag(s) you want to add to Historian, and click Add Selected Tags. Collected tags appear in black text in the tag list.
    Note: If Wonderware collector encounters null value at the time of collecting data, it will be ignored and that specific sample will not be sent to the Historian server.
