Performance data

  • ODH configured with 10K tags – 10K tags/sec gets archived (meets standard performance criteria)
  • ODH configured with 15K tags – 15K tags/sec gets archived (meets standard performance criteria)
  • ODH configured with 20K tags – 20K tags/sec gets archived (No loss of data expected; Typically, we consider archiving values 1 sample/ sec per tag for a max of 15K tags; When we raised the tag count > 15K, noticed the delay in archiving of samples)

Matrikon OPC Desktop Historian - Architecture Diagram

In this diagram, two instances of ODH are running on the Target Machine (located in the center). By using History Link (HL) the Target Machine is able to independently service data synchronization between two different Enterprise Historians (Honeywell PHD and OSI Pi) and their respective remote buffers/historians.

Instance 1 of ODH combined with HL is pulling data from an ODH in New York City and another ODH located in Boston - pushing the data into Honeywell PHD (the central or ‘Hub’ Historian). This is diagrammatically represented as HUB and Spoke network number 1.

Instance 2 of ODH is pulling data from an ODH in San Antonio and an ODH at El Paso (it can be any number of smaller historian) and pushing the data into Pi Historian (the central or ‘Hub’ Historian). This is diagrammatically represented as HUB and Spoke network number 2.

With the support for multi-instance execution, the latest ODH (with a previous configuration) allows a single PC to service multiple independent HUB and Spoke networks. Without additional software required this presents a much simpler and economical solution for data movement.
