The Information Manager combines the power and flexibility of a relational database with the speed and compression of a real-time historian package, providing integration between office and plant floor. It embeds Microsoft SQL Server™, providing universal data access, a powerful relational engine and tight integration with other Microsoft applications.

Engineers, maintenance managers and plant operators can view, analyze and present real-time, historical and alarm information using ActiveFactory client applications. Other off-the-shelf software that supports SQL/ODBC interfaces can directly read data from the pre-built tables.

The database and stored procedures are automatically installed requiring no prior knowledge of relational databases or SQL. The Information Manager incorporates powerful, pre-defined queries enabling users to search and find data. This facilitates the understanding of the complex relationships and correlation between physical plant, manufacturing operating conditions, process events, product quality and production efficiency.

Features:

• Real-time and historical plant information accessible to entire organisation
• Minimizes storage space and controls volume of data retrieved
• Embedded Microsoft SQL Server™ provides standard access via SQL queries
• OPC and SuiteLink LIN protocol I/O driver with in-built Server Security
• Totally integrated with Project Developer Database
• Integration with relational alarm database
• Contains Wonderware® IndustrialSQL™ server
• All plant data is acquired and stored at full resolution e.g.
  • Real-Time data (current plant values)
  • Historic data (long-term historian)
  • Event data (operator changes)
  • Alarm data (plant and system alarms)
  • Summary data (e.g. hourly averages, maximum)

Dream Report software incorporates a Eurotherm Review driver and report template enabling historical data to be obtained from devices such as 6000 Series graphical recorder, T2550 Programmable Automation Controller and Eycon TM Visual Supervisor.  Data can be collected either automatically over an Ethernet network or manually with removable media.

A robust communications kernel is installed enabling the collection of data and alarms from multiple real-time and historical sources – utilizing OPC, OLE and ODBC standards to ensure a common interface between sources from different suppliers.

Report Generation

In automatic mode, report generation and distribution can be triggered by an event or advanced scheduling.  In manual mode, an additional application (Dynamic Report GeneratorTM – DRG) provides for adjustment of the report schedules or the generation of a demand report at any time.

Data Logging

Dream Report software, with its powerful historian, logs by groups, data and alarms from:

• OPC servers.
• Other connected realtime sources – ODBC, OLE etc.
• Analytical information as defined in reports.

With unlimited groups set up with specific logging conditions for each group, clean and accurate data is obtained and logged by default on MSDE from SQL Server.  Other open databases such as Oracle, MySql, Access or Eurotherm Information Manager can also be utilized.

Objects

• Text representation: Enables the extraction and display analysis from historian databases such as a Review database.
• Tables: Multiple options to extract data and alarms into different tables.  Users can select pre-formatted tables or create their own with the SQL table.
• Bars and pies: Bar graphs and pie charts to display various statistical values and alarms with advanced visualization views (%, legend, values etc).
• Charts: Users can define time based XY charts.  They can combine charts from different time frames to visualize and compare results quickly. Moreover, the chart object supports different types of data – value, average value, linear regression.  Users can display and adjust multiple scales automatically or manually.

Historian Client software includes a suite of client applications that maximise the value of the data stored in the Information Manager Historian. In addition, Historian Client software enables individuals at all levels of an organisation to easily access plant and process data using simple point and click dialogs. Historian Client clients can disseminate information across a network, intranet or the Internet.

Using corporate information highways, Historian Client software analyses trending data over time, performs numerical data analysis using Microsoft® Excel, offers comprehensive data reporting using Microsoft Word, and provides ad-hoc access to historical and real-time information on the plant floor.

Improving plant performance through better Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence can be greatly accelerated through the use of a system for managing plant performance. This often takes the form of an

integrated plant information system that links real-time and historical plant data to plant decision makers and their support personnel.

Historian Client client applications include:

Trend…powerful data analysis tool

A desktop tool that presents all types of plant data in a graphical format.

Query…easy access to all your plant data
