Get Started with Proficy Historian and Operations Hub

This topic guides you through how to get started integrating Proficy Historian and Operations Hub.

Steps

The following sections walk you through:

  1. Configuring a Historian data source (System API or REST API) in Operations Hub. See Configure Historian Data Sources for Operations Hub.
  2. Creating a Model. See Create a Model for Operations Hub to use with Historian.
  3. Using the Trend widget to trend model-based Historian data or trend data directly from a Historian. See Use the Trend Widget with Operations Hub.
  4. Creating a Historian REST query. See Create Historian REST Query for Operations Hub.
  5. Using the Query in the page designer. See Use the Historian Query in the Operations Hub Page Designer.

Before You Begin

Before beginning, make a note of the following:

  • Ensure the Historian Web Clients are installed on the Historian machine; this is very important if you will be using the Historian REST API in Operations Hub.
  • Ensure that you can access Historian Web Trending Client from a remote machine or from the Operations Hub machine.
  • Ensure that certificates are trusted for both Operations Hub and Historian (not strictly necessary if you use option to ignore TLS/SSL, but a good idea).
