A flexible, reliable and user-friendly solution for capturing data across your network.

Matrikon OPC™ Desktop Historian is an economical, easy to install, easy to configure, and easy to administer data archiving tool. It focuses on data collection, not data presentation and processing. It is a solution for time-based data storage that can stand-alone, or become part of a total enterprise data historian solution. Desktop Historian is designed to be a low-maintenance data storage solution. Built on Matrikon OPC Integrated Configuration (iC!) architecture, Desktop Historian enables total Matrikon OPC configuration management. Multiple Desktop Historians can be combined to create a true distributed historian solution

Desktop Historian provides storage for OPC Data and has three components:

Core, OPC Server, OPC Client

OPC Desktop Historian is ideal for those who need to archive process data, but don't have the time, resources and money required for implementing an enterprise process historian. Just click-select-collect!

The Matrikon OPC Desktop Historian is:

A powerful historian for the price of an OPC HDA driver!

Easily Configurable

Easy to deploy

OPC DA and OPC HDA Compliant

Low Maintenance

 

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.

Historian features

Multi-instances of ODH is supported. User can create more than one instance of ODH Multi-Instance Utility
Multi-instances of History Link is supported. User can create more than one instance of History Link Multi-Instance Utility
ODH can be installed as a stand-alone or Hub and Spoke. User will be able to install ODH either as a standalone or Hub and Spoke with History Link option

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)

OPC Data Collection Tool

 The embedded OPC client allows data collection from any OPC DA server. The embedded OPC server allows any software package containing an OPC Client, to be used to inspect the data contained in Desktop Historian. The Core acts as a storage space within Desktop Historian from which the OPC server accesses the data. Data is collected using OPC, and accessed using OPC. MatrikonOPC Desktop Historian is a standards-based product that can be combined with any OPC product to create a best of breed solution
