FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface User Guide

The PItoPI ICU control has 7 tabs for each scan class, plus the All Scan Classes settings. A
yellow text box indicates that an invalid value has been entered, or that a required value has
not been entered.

The next figure shows the All Scan Classes settings.

Notice the box for the Source host. This parameter is required and must be replaced with your
server name, where the Historian to Historian data will be retrieved from.

The Settings for drop down list will always have one entry titled “All Scan Classes”, and will
have one entry for each scan class defined for this interface. The settings defined on the “All
Scan Classes” tab are the settings that are used by the interface if one or more settings for any
of the scan classes is not provided.

Since the FactoryTalk Historian to Historian Interface is a UniInt-based interface, in some
cases the user will need to make appropriate selections in the UniInt pages. These pages
allows the user to access UniInt features through the ICU and to make changes to the
behavior of the interface.

To set up the interface as a Windows Service, use the Service page. This page allows
configuration of the interface to run as a service as well as to starting and stopping of the
interface. The interface can also be run interactively from the ICU. To do that, open the
Interface menu and then click Start Interactive.

For more detailed information on how to use the above-mentioned and other ICU pages and
selections, please refer to the Historian Interface Configuration Utility User Manual. The
next section describes the selections that are available from the PItoPI page. Once selections
have been made on the ICU GUI, press the Apply button in order for ICU to make these
changes to the interface‟s startup file.
