The LineMonitor Import Wizard facilitates tag import from the GE Proficy Historian Database. It supports a flexible hierarchy of Plant, Area, Line, Equipment, and Variable. The tool enables users to import tags from devices without extensive configuration. The software platform establishes a connection through a Node Station. Users input the connection parameters the external database requires in the configuration dialog. This approach allows LineMonitor to integrate tags dynamically.

Instructions

Wizard Startup

Go to Solution → Import Tags on the Designer workspace and select "Import LineMonitor configuration." Double-click on the selected wizard or press the "Execute" button to open the initial configuration popup.

Initial Configuration

In the initial configuration dialog, enter the following information:

  • Test: Initiates a connection test to verify the connection parameters entered in the configuration dialog. Users click this button to ensure the connection is successful before proceeding.
  • Server: Specifies the server where the GE Proficy Historian Database is hosted. Users enter the network address or hostname of the database server.
  • Database: Defines the specific database within the GE Proficy Historian to which the connection is made. Users enter the database name that contains the tags they want to import.
  • Username: Provides the username required for authentication with the GE Proficy Historian Database. Users enter the credentials needed to access the database.
  • Password: Stores the password associated with the username. Users enter this password to authenticate and gain access to the Proficy Historian Database.
  • TrustedConnection: Enables a trusted connection using the current Windows credentials. Users check this option if they prefer to authenticate with their Windows account instead of entering a username and password manually.

The "Sync Device Node" dialog will appear. Here, you have two import options:

  • From a file: Provide the path of your stored file.
