Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Historian SE 3.0 UniInt Interface User Guide - Manual (Page 7)

UniInt Interface User Manual 1
Introduction
UniInt is an abbreviation for Universal Interface. UniInt is a framework for interfaces to the
Historian Server. UniInt provides generic functions required by most interfaces such as
establishing a connection to the Historian Server node and monitoring the Historian Point
Database for changes. Using the UniInt framework ensures a standard set of features for
Rockwell Automation interfaces to Historian and prevents duplication of effort. Using the
UniInt framework also makes it possible to add new functionality such as interface level
failover and enhanced interface monitoring to a large majority of Rockwell Automation‘s
standard interfaces to the FactoryTalk Historian System.
This manual explains the operation and functionality that is provided by the UniInt
framework. Not all of the features described in this manual are supported by every interface
that is built on top of the UniInt framework. Please check the interface specific manual for a
description of the features supported.
Please see the Interface specific manual for details on installing and configuring each
individual interface.
