Set up AVEVA Edge
Enable Historical Logging
Each integer and real type tag in the tags database has several properties in addition to its actual value. You can set these properties by using the Project Tags datasheet, the Properties command on the ribbon, or the Tags Database functions.
For each tag, in Tag Properties, under the History – Integer/Real Type tab,
Check History Enabled.
The Group Number is the trend group to which the project tag is assigned to. Set this accordingly.
The trend folder enables which tags have the values stored. To create a new trend file, select Tasks, then right click Trend and select Insert.
Assign the tags.
Click the Advanced… option and set the History Life Time (days) option.
This determines how often AVEVA Edge deletes the trend files. Use 0 to keep all historical files.
Enable Historical Database Log
To retrieve historical data via trends logged to a relational database, create a new trend file.
Select Tasks, then right click Trend and select Insert.
Assign the tags.
The trend file can be logged to an external database. Change the History Format to Database. The default name of the Table created is the name of the Trend file.
For example, the trend file name above is TREND002.TRD.
The table name created is TREND002. User can change the table name.
This table is setup with each tag as its own column. The timestamp column is Time_Stamp and it is stored in local time.
