Some embodiments include a system and method of providing a historian that receives operational state data from a device of an industrial process of a network, where the operational state data is stored as time-series data, and processing at least one data query from at least one user coupled to the network. Based at least in part on the at least one data query and at least one dynamic cycle, at least some of the time-series data is retrieved, where the dynamic cycle is based on at least one tag associated with the time-series data. Further, based at least in part on at least some of the time-series data, at least one graphical representation of one or more tags is displayed, where each tag of the one or more tags represents an attribute of at least one process associated with the at least one device.

Dynamic summarization of process data system and method

A server system can include an internal computer network including at least one client server configured to establish a data transfer connection to an external computer network, and at least one proxy server system positioned between the internal computer network and the external computer network. The proxy server system can include a proxy server positioned between a first firewall and a second firewall, where the first firewall is positioned between the first proxy server and the internal computer network, and the second firewall is positioned between the proxy server and the external computer network. The server system can develop and maintain a proxy server system that includes a whitelist of sites deemed necessary and/or desirable for system operation. The whitelist can be updated as a user works with and uses the system. Such updates can take place continuously in real or near-real time or periodically as frequently as desired. A single party can be the only entity that can update the whitelist, ensuring the whitelist contains all required sites. Whitelist updates can be automatically delivered to all proxy instances as the whitelist changes over time.

Server and system for secure configuration push for DMZ proxy clients

A process control and manufacturing information database client application is disclosed for rendering and displaying a filtered set of received time-series data. A client application, such as a trending client that graphically displays a series of data point values for a particular observed parameter of a manufacturing process receives, via a data acquisition interface, a set of timestamped time-series data values for an observed parameter from a process control and manufacturing information database. Thereafter, the client application invokes a time-series data filter that includes/supports at least one filtering operation that is applied to the set of timestamped time-series data values to render a filtered data set for plotting/drawing on the graphical display interface. The filtered data set is thereafter rendered by a display function as a series of plotted points on a time-line graph.

Selectively presenting timestamped time-series data values for retrieved supervisory control and manufacturing/production parameters

A process control and manufacturing information database client application is disclosed displaying received time-series data in an unambiguous manner when a displayed range of time-series data includes a DST transition for a designated time zone for displaying the data. A data acquisition interface obtains timestamped time-series data values for an observed parameter from the process control and manufacturing information database. The data values are requested/received/stored by the client application, for example, according to the UTC time standard. The client application renders the timestamped time-series data values as a series of points on a time-line graph. The time-line graph includes alphanumeric time labels specified in accordance with a designated time zone. The display function renders the time-line graph without disruptions over a time span containing a Daylight Savings Time (DST) transition for the designated time zone.

Presenting continuous timestamped time-series data values for observed supervisory control and manufacturing/production parameters

A control system database server is disclosed that includes a data compression facility that implements a compression test sequence on streams of time stamped data points rendered by components of a control system. A deadband/time override is incorporated into the compression test sequence to ensure that a previously received data point, within the stream of received data points, is saved within a designated time period even if the compression test sequence would have determined that the data point be discarded. The series of compressed/tabled data points, corresponding to the received steams of data points, are thereafter provided by the historian to requesting client applications that, by way of example, retrieve the compressed, time stamped data point streams for the purpose of constructing and displaying trend graphs.
