I am working with a customer using Intouch version 10.0.002 in a water plant and they want to add logging for about 4 tags to record the CL2 residual and turbidity during off hours. Right now, they write down the values they read from the standalone SCADA system for reporting to the state.
This is on a Windows XP SP3 32 bit Dell Optiplex PC. They do have a development license but I find no evidence that Historical Logging is running. There are two historical trend line charts set up within the application.
What they are looking for is probably more of a tabular chart with reading taken at 15 minute intervals in order to transfer that info to their mandatory reports.
I know enough about Wonderware to get myself in trouble if I try to guess how much time it will take me to make this work and later find out it isn't even possible with the available software.
I am leaning toward slapping a Data Station Plus in there and FTP Sync because I know for sure I can do that with about 4 hours development time...
Unless one of you Wonderware Gurus can convince me that this is doable with HistData or something and can guide me through the steps to enable it.
I sure hate to be the one to touch this old PC and have a hard drive crash, so if we earn the trust of this new customer I will probably propose a new Ignition SCADA machine at some point. For now, they just want the state officials off their back.
All advice appreciated.
