The GEProficy Protocol Driver connects the software platform with the GE Proficy Historian, enabling data exchange. The GE Proficy Historian collects, stores, distributes, and retrieves industrial time series and A&E data. The GEProficy Protocol Driver allows for real-time data capture, ensures secure storage, and supports retrieval, enhancing data accessibility for analysis.

Configuration

All initial configurations for devices in the solutions on the software platform encompass the following workflow:

  1. Defining a Channel using a target communication Protocol creates the base instance for linking a Node. Learn more at Devices - Channels.

  2. Defining the Node linked to the created Channel. Learn more at Devices - Nodes.

  3. Defining the Point that you would like to monitor. Learn more at Devices - Points.

Protocols define communication rules between the platform and devices. Channels define global parameters for using a communication protocol. Nodes represent physical field devices (like a PLC) with a unique field address (PrimaryStation). Points represent tags within a device. Additionally, AccessType defines how the device interacts with the platform (Read and/or Write). Learn more at Devices - AccessType.
