Before building a historian for the whole plant, take data from one machine and try it out. The package covers a survey of the PLC (including legacy ones such as PLC-5 and SLC 500), the choice of a suitable data path (Rockwell driver, OPC UA or gateway) across the IT–OT boundary, configuration and data quality checks, and one sample screen or report for acceptance. The decision to expand is made once there are results from one machine.
