PI API Installation Instructions
(API_Install.doc)
This manual contains the installation instructions for the PI
API and Bufserv.
If the interface is installed on a Windows node and if the
Historian Server is installed on a different node, then the
interface node is commonly referred to as a Historian
Interface node. The PI API must be installed on a Historian
Interface node to enable communication between the
interface and the Historian Server.
Bufserv is a utility program that stores and forwards events
to a Historian Server, allowing continuous data collection
when the server is down for maintenance, upgrades,
backups, and unexpected failures.
